Well, two of the Group 1 did not show up this evening so it is to be rescheduled. Those who didn't show up get only this one chance of rescheduling before being forfeited. The likely new date will be next week or next weekend at the latest, so they get up to a week notice.

About Group 3, since it is a weekend we can do it even tonight if you wish and if everyone is on? Otherwise it could be done tomorrow. Otherwise, also next week or weekend, whenever suitable. :)

Btw, since epsy showed up for this first match we've been on a server a bit and he made some suggestions regarding the configuration. Apparently, having the only way to win be to reach 10 points would make a match too long or up to infinite in some cases. Also, the scoring as it was encouraged camping because it took away one point for suicide and yet two points for being dumped.

So with regards to this I changed the server config so it gives 3 points for core dump and -3 points for suicide. That'll make reaching 10 points faster while discouraging camping. :)

So the config looks like this, on both US and EU server:

Code: Select all

LIMIT_ROUNDS 100000   # Effectively infinite rounds.
SCORE_KILL 3   # 3 points for each kill.
LIMIT_SCORE 10  # First to 10 points wins.
LIMIT_TIME 60   # Match will last no more that 60 mins.
SCORE_SUICIDE -3  # If you're in a rut, suiciding (in order to prevent giving points to another) is really not in your favour.
SCORE_WIN 0  # No points for winning a round
CYCLE_RUBBER 5
CYCLE_DELAY 0.01
WALLS_LENGTH -1
AUTO_TEAM 0
Rubber can be changed if most players in a given match wish it so, as said in the rules. :)

If anyone has any last minute objections to this they will be considered.
