First North American 3v3CTF Ladder to begin

[Dokujisan]

Hello all North American Nexers.

We're officially announcing the first North American 3v3CTF Ladder, which will begin
during the week of May 25th (depending on the setup time for registrations, map
selection, server setup, mumble setup).

The purpose of this ladder is to generate activity for the North American clan
community. Any clan members within the North American region are welcomed to
participate. We hope that this boost in activity also carries over to the EU and
AU communities as well.

If you are interested in joining the ladder, visit NexuizClans.com to register.
This is a ladder and NOT a tournament, so it will be ongoing and you can join at
any time.

Nexuiz servers will be provided for this ladder. There will also be a Mumble voice
server made available.

We are currently in the process of selecting the map pool for the ladder. Voting
is going to be quick, as we are trying to expedite this process. If your favorite
map doesn't get included during this round, don't worry. We will adjust the maplist
over time as new maps get released and as we get feedback from the clans.

Each clan gets to select 3 maps that they like and 3 maps that they dislike from
the voting pool. When you know your map selection, the clan leader should
send a private message to Nifrek on the forum or in IRC. Don't announce your
votes publicly as it may influence other votes.

To vote on the maps, follow this link : http://nullgaming.com/nexuiz/ladder

If you have questions, you can post them here, or you can ask in the
IRC channel: irc://irc.quakenet.org/nexuiz.clans



Thanks!

Good idea, but your map pool is strange.

Good idea, but your map pool is strange.

Thought the same also, think should be based on players' votes...and common sense of the admin/s?

Like death to space maps, Although im sure some poor maps will find there way through!

The Q3 maps though are nice, they make some nexuiz ctf maps look bad though

I admit, some of those maps in the pool are odd for 3v3CTF, but it's just a start. For the actual ladder, we'll end up with a decent map pool to use from that list. The clans will vote on which maps they like and don't like.

Since it's a ladder, we'll also adjust the map pool over time, especially when if some decent new maps come out.

reservoir, I totally agree.

The other 2, nah. Those can be competitive with 3v3. You just have to adjust your strategy to compensate.

Issues like that will be resolved over time and bad maps will be filtered out. The reason we decided to go this way is that it's been 2 months since we said "okay we got a ladder website, what maps do we use?" and nothing happened since then. So we decided to pick some popular maps and some new ones to make an initial list of maps to get things going. You shouldn't base your opinion on this big map list.

That is the point of letting clans vote for maps they like and don't like. In the end we'll end up with something between 6-8 maps, which will be a good start for the ladder. Once the ladder starts we'll see which maps get most play and which gets none, which maps get criticized, etc. then we'll be able to remove some maps introduce other maps.
