Monthly Tournament #1

Re: Online tourneys

@Samtheseed - Single elimination is basically if you lose one WHOLE match you are out of tourney and Double elimination is you lose a match and go to loser bracket then if you lose again you are out.

Example : player a loses to b. b goes to loser bracket and a advances in the winner. b loses another match against d who also lost his first match. d advances in the loser bracket and b is out of tourney.

I am gonna edit my 1st post with those who are gonna participate or has shown interest to participate. If you aren't going to be able to then please post or PM me saying so.

If anymore questions or suggestions post them up and I will answer or compromise as quickly as I can.

Thanks for the support on this activity.

Re: Online tourneys

I'm in. I'd vote for double elimination. If a random bout of lag infests a match, I'd hate for that to end my time in the tourney.

Assuming all goes well, a monthly tournament could be fun.

 

Re: Online tourneys

Could you also organise a "B-League" tournament for those of us that consider not to be at the level of the current participants? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

Re: Online tourneys

It depends on how this goes in general at first. But if things go great then I will be trying many other looks for using online since the online mode is so bland in general.

 

Re: Online tourneys

Madrox is in...

but did have 1 question... i dont have an xbox,,, so i usually play at a freinds house,,, and he would want in,, so would multiple people be able to ENTER (not play) froma single Xbox live account???

 

Re: Online tourneys

I'd say 2 of 3 games, single elim for an online tourney. You could do more games than that if you want, since this is more of a casual tourney and a good chance to session with new people. But running double elim online and having to keep finding people who have already lost a game will be absolute chaos.

 

Re: Online tourneys

I'd Like to join :3

 

Re: Online tourneys

I would say yes but if you both had a match at the same time I'm not sure the opponent would want to wait. I'll let you though and try to compensate for that.


As far as the tourney goes I am wondering if you guys would "prefer" single elim or double elim. I will tell you why though.

Anyone who has been to a tourney knows the more people the longer it takes haha.

I was thinking I would run single elim till the top 16 or top 8 (most likely 8) then double elim from there on out, unless you all wanted single elim all the way through.

Single Elim would be 3/5 matches and double elim would be 2/5.

Post your input if you would please /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

 

Re: Online tourneys

maybe as a first online tourney,, it would be a good test run to run it as single all the way through... mainly to see the times required ,, how scheduling goes,, etc... then maybe the next one,, with some help,, you can do the double elim...

 

Re: Online tourneys

Yeah, I wanted double elim, but I agree that single elim is the more reasonable route to take.

 

Re: Online tourneys

put me in le tournament i pm'ed you my GT Dem0critus, zero not o.

 

Re: Online tourneys

Re: Online tourneys

I added those who asked to be added. If I missed someone please let me know.

Also the rules are up as well. Let me know what you think.

 

Re: Online tourneys

Don't know about full-on double elimination at four players. My idea would be to introduce it at eight, or simply inject a third-place match between the losers of semifinal matches.

What are the odds of this evolving quickly into a full-blown online ranking battle system? I'd love to see some kind of regular league emerge considering how decentralized we all are geographically.

 

Re: Online tourneys

hey ninjacw just a name note I go by just Tricky. ON xbl I had to add viper because someone already took my name *shakes fist*

That would be awesome. It'd be a nice way for us all to get a chance to play each other.
