Crazy Tronners Wild Dogfight Tournament.

[theroze]

Hello. Today, i played dogfight with judders, emphasis and Luck. Jud had the idea:"What about a Dogfight Tournament?" Thats the question at you guys. Would you like to have a Dogfight Tournament?

Ps: For these who doesnt know what Ctwd is: This Server has 10 rounds, 10 weird, but cool maps. Its a 2vs2 server with Sumo, Target and Fortress Maps. (At this point, thanks to kyle for the server.) The most important thing in that server is:Teamwork. If you want a Tournament, jud thinks, it may be the best if there are 32 slots. 16 Teams -> "only" 8 server. Please vote, and post what you think about the idea.

Regards, TheRoze.

It seems like people have different idea/styles/servers of how to play DF....
And also what happens if you seal by mistake.

[theroze]

Not that Dogfight. With 5 rubber and cycle_delay 0.1 . Like Sumo/Fort.

The (first and) last CTWD tourney never officially ended did it? I don't recall Legit and me losing or Sebol and his partner. I don't think we ever got a chance to finish our match. And for those wondering, this was like 3 years ago lol.

The first on was finished and won by infamous well rico and Subzero, But I do remember a long gaps in gameplay and a lot of teams having to forfeit. started in October 2006 and ended in February 2007

I remember me and wargasm vs P4 and foo, I had horrible ping spikes that day, my ping was going way higher than normal.


As for other attempts (I don't think we had any)

One problem with having another is all the settings and stuff for each map are all on SQL and the script runs off of that, I can probably change it a bit, But i'm not sure when that will happen, CT could probably put up most of the servers or at least 6, we could split the first round matches in half. if that is the case then there would be no need for me to do too much extra work to distribute the settings and script.

Also ed is to blame for the server, I only updated it to run the newer server version

As it is only 2v2 at a time and I assume way more than 32 players want to participate (if advertised properly), maybe it could be considered that it's not a 1-day tourney, but rather the matches are spread out over a month or two?

This could make it possible for a bigger tournament and would save people from having to commit several hours in one day. If so, 2-4 servers would be enough and giving team leader access (maybe with access to start_new_match and silence?) to the participants would be enough. And there would have to be a site or a wiki, not too advanced I don't think.

No, that's what it was in the past and it was a big mess like me and durka said above.

[DDMJ]

Oh yea, Slash left when they were up 1-0 I think so we agreed to resume another time, but then we never got around to doing that.

i will vote yes it can be very funny, probably i dont know if have lvl for be official.

After these posts, i think in my opionion the tournament should start not that "late" like ladle or something. Ladle is always 18:45 GMT -> for me 19:45. That's too late for me, well not for me, for my brother, cuz im using his PC and in the late evening im almost always not allowed to play. That's why i miss all the tournaments. I will talk to Judders, and as you said:"Rather a tournament at one day." So, and Titan, you said more than 32 would like to participate. The next exponent of 2 after 32 is 64. 64 players, each team has 2 players, so 32 teams. 32 Teams, at each server (at the beginning) 2 teams. Then we need 16 Servers.

... CT could probably put up most of the servers or at least 6,...

He said at least 6. I think, the maximum of the up-put server from ct could be 9. We know that 16 - 9 7 is. We need 7 more Server. And a few lines up, i already said for me its always too late. I will discuss the time with Judders. Probably, in a few minutes comes Durka and says:"/team 0 No Non Nein! The American Players are a big part of the Tron community. No Tournament without the American pwnzors!"

Yes Durka, you are right. America is a very big part. But let's see: 18:45 GMT is for the american boys and girls 12:45 if im right. You don't need to worry about the time, it's always around 13 o'clock for you. I know a couple of german Tronners who aren't allowed to play that late. So, dear American, if this tournament really going to happen again, please, let us make it earlier. Roze, over and out.

I was never adamantly against anything involving the timing; it's obviously not too late for us lol.

I think, the maximum of the up-put server from ct could be 9.

possibly for the first round after that there will be more spectators. 3 on my US VPS and 6 total in Europe.

But let's see: 18:45 GMT is for the american boys and girls 12:45 if im right. You don't need to worry about the time, it's always around 13 o'clock for you.

Actually for the west cost players it is 10:45, so i would say maybe an hour earlier would be the most you could get, maybe an hour and 15 minutes.

Don't forget, I'd still have to rewrite the script for a tournament like this and I honestly don't know when I'll have that time. Another possibility would be to split the brackets across two days like the TST. Have the major event on a Sunday. but play the first few rounds of part of the bracket played on Saturday.
Think of it as 2 sets of 16 team brackets, we play the first 2 rounds of one of those a Saturday that leaves the final 4 teams from 1 side. then the other side starts early Sunday and plays their opening 2 rounds and then both sides get down to their final 4 and then we have 8 teams left to Finnish playing it out. that was only a max of 8 servers are needed, then I should not have to rewrite my script.

I love you kyle, very nice idea. Especially that it wont take too much time of the Sunday evening. But i still have a question:"Who wants to host it?" After the FWC thing, the Tournament-hosting for me is finished. And Durka, sorry for my stupid post over there. Anyway, when do you want the tournament? I mean Date. I'd prefer in one Month.
