If anyone is interested we were thinking of doing a tournament, size dependent upon how many people sign up.
<GreEn`mArine> only accounts that are valid (same name, email as in ladder, and given valid ID) will be allowed to play
we also said that there would be a deadline period of perhaps 7-14 days for signups so people get a chance to signup.
The tournament would be DOUBLE-ELIMINATION brackets, for you who dont know what this means, if you get beaten on your first game, you'll go into the losers bracket, where you have another chance and will face the loser from a previous game, you can work your way all the way to the losers final if you win all of your next matches, however if you lose again then you are completely knocked out, then the winner of the losers final will play the winner's bracket final in the grande finale.
The tournament would use SET maps for each round, we discussed it as this.
for example
Round 1 (first bracket in winner's bracket) dm03. dm05 : Decider map: extra2
for the next round, e.g Round2 (bracket 2 of winner's and loser bracket).
would be like this
extra2, dm07 Decider: dm09
the deciding map of the round before will be the new starting map of the next round, so the round after round 2 which would be round 3, would use dm09 as the starting map,
for example
dm09, extra1, Decider: dm01
dm01 would be then used in Round4 for the starting map.
so each time a new round comes along the deciding map of the last round is taken off and starts the new map list for the next round.
The maps will be set for each round, thus making the tournament more interesting (and hopefully a few upsets for knocking players out
)
It also means players cant demolish you on there homemaps, and we can see who really is well rounder.
Another thing is this, you may be wondering why there is a decider map.
A bracket win, will be a win when an opponent wins BOTH of the maps, if it is 1:1 in maps (frags will not be used to determine who wins, unless if after the 3rd map it was a draw).
So if it is 1:1 in maps, then the decider will be played, in the unfortunate event a map is a draw, the winner be decided on overall frags from the 3 games, this is a bit annoying but since there isnt an overtime feature in nexuiz yet is the only way around it.
This might not make complete sense cause its coming on 4am and i writing this quite rapidly.
Please add your comments/Ideas, this is what we want you to do, so we can adjust things,
Comment on anything you like, but map roster/system, limiting of players able to play or such, please post your views on. And also if you are interested.
