CTF Tourney

[Rampage]

Warzone is too big a map for a TB.. it is a 4v4 map.. the game would be drawn out..

I think it comes down to CTF1 and Red Alert as the two tie breakers.. If both maps get chosen by each team prior to the TB (and the score is tied 1-1) .. then what do you guys suggest as a last resort TB?

But then again, its not like theres been much of a say-so availible in this tournament.

Mindz, I don't find that statement true. In fact I'd say just the opposite is happening. Too many people have a say and its messing with the flow of things. This tournament needs to be run with more of a iron fist. Everything needs to be layed out way ahead of time.

Also disco, I do agree with a TB map to be picked ahead of time with 2 possible backups thats known. I think every team should also be required to submit their maps, ahead of time as well, again to make things FAIR. So for example you don't have a team pick ctfgold3 out of the blue, and the other teams never played the map. Just like in professional sports, the opposing team has a chance to get acquainted with where they are playing.


Addition: Last resort tie breaker, we could maybe use elder god shrine remix

Matches are determined 1 week in advanced. We should be able to decide maps before the game-night.

Honestly, in the future, i dont see why we couldn't have just 3 maps chosen for
for the entire tourney. Everyone votes for a map, top 3 votes, done. everyone know what to download, and what to practice for.

I mean, if one team chose a map with 6 quads, with a base with 3 exits, and another chose a map with 1 quad, mirrored, then i think it off balances the other teams that didnt choose a map with this or that. One could argue that another team chose weird unknown maps like Ruins of Neomonik just to win a slot to the finals etc...

I can add muller back to rambo's team. But if bosh is not playing, someone will need to be added to smokey's team.

[muller]

I think the ONLY move we should make is flip Jbone and Armorattak..

FYI, jboner was there at the (semi-) scheduled start time this past sunday. He had to leave after an hour or so when the other team didn't show. So, no need to axe him. I think he just doesn't visit these forums very much as he is so busy most of the day mining google images for horsecawk.

I'll get his email addy and confirm that he's in.

[smokey]

i never saw where bosh said he wasnt playing...

[monoz]

i have jbone's email address. I told him to be there at 8 last sunday. I will send the same message again

So does this mean we can re-do the muller me jbone vs vis frenzy aaa match, THIS sunday at 8PM EST?

Final tournament info:

Round robin format

Matches at Sunday 8:00 pm EST

Match Officials: Visine, Frenzy, Mono, Rambo (all have admin access, simply demo match/auto chase/auto stats if you're on the server at 8 Est)

Teams:

CD, Mono, Bluntz (crow) - Team name?

Visine, Frenzy, AAA - Team name?

Muller, Jbone, Rambo - Team name?

Bosh, Smokey, Lerster - Team name?

Rampage, mindz, Quicky - Team name?

Disco, Lun, r00k - Team name?

Please submit all team names to Mono before this coming Sunday (next match date), and wear them so we can have unity amongst each team/keep it uniform.. so it doesn't appear like a pick up game..also makes it better so we don't single out people and say "this is Disco's team, this is Vis's team".. etc

Maps:

R00k's suggestion is excellent, we keep it the same 3 map chain.. that way people can't throw in odd maps that no one has practiced.. (such as when I chose Cheat2 versus CD and he chose Spill the blood to counter)..

3 Map Rotation (based on most popularly played)

1. CTF1
2. Red Alert
3. Capturephobolis

Tie breaker:

Egyptian pig / Cheat2 (or Spill the Blood - unless you have better suggestions)

Everyone cool with this?

[monoz]

i dont even know what happened with that match other than it was allegedly played. napalm sent me a demo of ctf3m2 but thats it (the demo did not have have stats on it)

[Rampage]

So does this mean we can re-do the muller me jbone vs vis frenzy aaa match, THIS sunday at 8PM EST?

You guys should replay the match, yes.

Not only were there screw ups with the time and people not showing up to this particular match, but the demos/statistics weren't properly tracked.

For my above post, the only problem I have with capturephob is that Blue has a distinct advantage and it is not symmetrical.. can anyone offer a better map that is played equally or more?

[smokey]

i like ramp's idea but are we gonna start w/ a clean slate? has anyone located Jbone? oh my team is team [fubar] obv. (we gonna shotgun a few to catch up.....)

another map could be the one with the two castles(ctf5?) ive seen it played frequently 3-3...

[Mindf!3ldzX]

WARZONE. Seriously, I'm tired of hearing "its for 4v4" only. It's a fn awesome map that offers undeniable SYMMETRY !!!

We arent starting over are we???

[muller]

another map could be the one with the two castles(ctf5?) ive seen it played frequently 3-3...

Yeah, CTF5 - Da Ancient War Grounds. I second smokey's suggestion for this as an alternate tiebreaker map. I think it's well-balanced in terms of weapons and armor and is just a fokn sweet old skewl map. Easy to get familiar with and a perfect size for 3's.

[Rampage]

No.. we aren't.. it's just so everyone knows the current rules.. only one match from this past sunday should be replayed and we're moving on
