WST 15 - September 28

[kite]

Just for future reference, I think we should have a schedule for sumo tournaments for the year, I've thought of two plausible schedules:
January: SBT, February: TST, March: WST, April: Break month, May: SBT, June: TST, July: WST, August: Break month, September: SBT, October: TST, November: WST: December Break month

or

January SBT, February: Break, March: TST, April: Break, May: WST, June: Break, July: SBT, August: Break, September: TST, October: Break, November: WST, December: Break

This way we would get 2-3 SBT, TST and WSTs a year, that's 6 to 9 sumo tournaments a year, 6 is more than enough I think. It would also leave months open for other tournaments like the CTWF and any other events like 1v1 Sumo or Single bind, things that are held less often and aren't as common. Just a suggestion that I think would make tournament planning smoother and easier for people to remember what's coming up

I'd like to point out that the TST and the Shovel are not the same thing. I'm pretty sure we've had this discussion before.

Okay so this is a week away, let's try to avoid last second scrambling for servers, can anyone lend servers for this tournament?

I'll be putting one up, courtesy of taz's VPS, and I'll see if I can get at least one of my VPSs up by then also

cool, now if the other server owners help out that'd be neato

I can put up one server, or two if you desperately need them. I finally resolved the issue that showed up with my server in the Ladle. It was showing other errors. I contacted the hosting company and it turned out that the motherboard of the server was going bad. So, my VPS is now on a new server. Thus far with some testing, it seems to hold up well. If you want to get more server donations, I would highly recommend that somebody just pm all the server owners of Ladle servers. They may not see this topic, but they might be more likely to see a PM.

Considering the amount of teams probably signing up, I would recommend a typical ladle start time (1:45 EST), because it'll be easier to keep track of.

I'm also not sure if the GMT is correct on these brackets.

if the configs are up in a reasonable time I can host CT USA and CT LIV, Also if you PM me the auth configs I can host them as well.

[Renegade]

I'll put one up an eu server. I hope more teams sign up

[Gazelle]

So by the looks of it we need about 4 servers atm.. Unless more teams sign up..

Why haven't servers been signed up yet on the wiki? I know owners look at this subforum. The tournament is this sunday! I know tron is dead and all, but please add some. ~_~

[Gazelle]

Rits said he had one, kyle said he could throw two up and renegade had one... any chance you guys can please have those up before sunday?

I will add two. One likely reason none are signed up is simple. No auth file yet. I prefer to do the whole process of signing up and putting up a server at once and not have to go back and fix it after the fact. Once the auth file is up I will put up two servers.

[Gazelle]

Someone that knows how to do thst can you please? I unfortunately don't and luck is gone again (I think)

[compguygene]

Ok, I put up the authorities file. It's listed on the wiki. I will put up and list my two servers later today, I am rather busy at the moment. Just so you know, the day of the WST, they will be the only two servers running on my VPS. I will shut the other servers off so they perform well.

EDIT: I just checked the authority file that sinewav's tournament authority generator made and it is not good. I will fix it later and re-post.
