[orion]

60 players for sign up. After 60 signed up--> The best 20 players of sumo would be choise by admins. After the votation, this will be like a soccer tournament. All weekends 10 matches. So its all vs all.
matches: 1v1, best of 1, to 1200 pts.
who won get 1 point, who lost 0 pts.
this will be a total of 19 dates.
2 servers. 1 in EU other in USA
server and date are ramdom.
example: player 1 vs player 2 usa server 17:45 GMT.
player 3 vs player 5 EU server 17:45
player 14 vs player 19 usa server 19 gmt...
its all.. atm!

60 players for sing up. After 60 singed up--> ...

I'm ready to sing!

Is this going to be like JUMBO sumo? I really like Jumbo and will only participate in Sumo competitions in this setting. However, the scoring does need to change.

Says 1v1 if you look closely. *Hints orion to do better formatting, especially spacing, in his post*

no appa no JUMBO . its 1v1.
but its all vs all. 20 players all vs all.
a total of 19º dates
all weekends 1º of 10 matches

I think it's a fairly good idea, and it will be fun if enough players sign up.

I'd be inclined to sign up as a player, but I've told you I'll help admin it so I'll do that unless there are other non-playing admins available.

Why not have another 1ON1 Sumo Knockout Tournament?

[orion]

1on1 is simple i wanna change it a lil... i love all vs all. will win the best nothing of luck..

[gawdzilla]

I don't get it.

[Eckz]

When you say "...all weekends 10 matches..." what does that mean?

[Titanoboa]

I understand it as all 20 players playing one game each. One player plays one match every weekend (Or forfeit if s/he can't make it). This means the tournament would go on for 19 weeks.

@orion: how about Best of 2? first match in EU second match in US. 3p for win, 1p for tie, 0p for loss.

So is this 1 vs 1 as in 2 people go up against each other in a match, or are you talking about a sort of free for all where it is one person per team and a tonne of teams? Your posts seems to give conflicting messages, conflicting for me anyways.

Edit: Wait is this sort of like Kings of the grid? Where everyone who participates challenges each other and the person with the most points at the end is the winner?

[Eckz]

Seems like a tournament that would lose its value over such a long course.

[orion]

titan: its a good idea.
hayes: no its not like KOTG. Its example:
20 players.
1ºp1 vs p2 2º(next week) p2vsp3
p3 vs p4 p1vsp4
p5 vs p6 ..... and there... all vs all a total of 19º dates
p7 vs p8
p9vsp10
p11vsp12
p13vsp14
p15vsp16
p17vsp18
p19vsp20
