1v1 tourney season II

[liolak]

I was wondering lately if there is any 1v1 tourney planned for the near future.

And if not, why not plan one ??

All the infrastructure is there i believe. There are servers available as well as that awesome tourney site that was used last year http://planetnexuiz.com/tourney/

I know that the Australian chapter of Nexuiz as been running a tourney for a while now.

Also ive seen Usil playing on the bc's server lately, maybe Dib and him could play there last match or at least declare forfeit so that the 2008 tourney finally get finallized .

Apart from that last match which never got played on the NA side, the simultaneous NA and EU tourney where in my opinion a real success. I enjoyed playing in it and watching the other matches.

What do you guys thinks about that ?
More importantly would you play in a 1v1 tourney if there would be one soon ? A yes mean that you will play your matches within the required period and without the need of a admin to push on you to do so.

Yes, but depending if the 2on2 tdm tourney is going to launch (i've extended signups to try to encourage more teams to sign up).

I would play anyway, but I could not run one as well as 2on2 tdm one, would be too much work and do not have enough time, and I don't know anyone else with experience of the tournament system who has time, I expect green/morfar are too busy at the moment. (For EU i mean)

Well, if people would actually PLAY instead of waiting for weeks (look at NA 3v3ctf clan tourney), and if we used 2.5 default settings, I wouldn't mind. If people don't have the time to play their matches on time, then I don't really want to be part of it.

[liolak]

thats a good point, and i think that setting up a 1v1 is much more easy though because it involve only 2 persons and not 6 or 8 like ctf matches.

for the settings, it would be the ones from the actual latest release at the time of the tourney.

I don't think it would be a good idea to have laser guided rockets in a duel....

[liolak]

i dont think either, but those are the official settings. It seems like its better to have the same weapons in the tourney that people are playing with normally on the pub server. Since you and your opponent both have the guided rocket, its fair for both of you. Of course if a majority of players in the tourney wants that off than it should be off.

I would love to be a part of a 1v1 tourney...

i think every single fps uses a seperate ruleset for competition than what is used in pubs.

Lets do it and get it started ASAP, with a strict schedule.

[liolak]

nothing is set in stone for the rules yet. they will be discussed later i imagine and made to please what the majority want them to be. for now the concern is to know if we have enought player so that its worth it to start a tourney.

tweak will you be part of it if it happen ?
i guess its a yes for CL

so now we have for sure:

1-pclizard
2-liolak
3-samual
4-canadianlinux
5-kojak

oh and yeah , there is #nexuiz.tourney on irc where we should all get and discuss of rules and such.
