Thanks to everyone who showed up, and special thanks to Flex and SP who hosted it. This was a good turnout with incredibly close matches. picking teams was the right call today. I can't decide if we should have 4 or 5 person teams, since lag was a huge factor. The teamwork and skill on the grid was outstanding. Good zone all.

:D Let's do it again in a few months, shall we?

your welcome sinewav, but i did suggest that we change servers. i knew it would lag at 5 per team. it's fine with 4 per team, i guess we pushed it too much. 20 players in total, 4 zones and 10+ specs was overboard. bandwidth was no where near it's maximum, but hardware wise, i think that was the issue.

5 per team is definitely more fun and competitive. if anyone makes it a real tournament, i believe SP will definitely sign up.

Yeah I remember. You're right, 5 makes a better game, and the lag is only bad for the first minute until the grid clears up a bit. But in that minute, man is it crazy! I guess I lean towards keeping it 5.

So let's do teams next time someone gets the inclination.

To look from it from a different angle: If there's a tourney, having teams of 4 would mean most clans could easily sign up 2, or even 3 teams and since there's 4 teams per match.. more teams = good, no?

But for a match like this one we played, 5 is crazy and the way to go.. like ctf without the massive rubber to save your ass when it lags. ^^

More teams would probably be bad,because more lag plus i don't think you could do a bracket difficult to set it up

more teams = not more people playing at the same time = no effect on lag

hasn't there been a 4teams fort tournament before?
