Fortress Cafe Tournament
With Liz's cancellation at organizing her tournament, I decided to go ahead and post this. This is a tournament run directly based on the Fortress Cafe server's config. It is also unique on how the tournament will run. It will be the first(I think) double elimination tournament. Basically, it will run best of 1 match per round, because it would be ridiculously long as a best of 3 match. If you lose in the round, you simply proceed to the bottom of the bracket, and play until you lose a second time. Simply put, you have two chances. I edited in a sample bracket on the wiki, so you can all see how it will run.
For now, I guess the date will be October 17th.

Server sign-ups will be very helpful.

Re: Fortress Cafe Tournament
I know there has been some DF double elimination tournaments and Illegal Exit is also DE but I think this will be a pretty fun tournament with the old fasion large holes and stuff. (:

Re: Fortress Cafe Tournament
Offtopic: the CST wasn't cancelled, it was merely postponed until I found people to organize it, now Spin and Acid etc are organizing it.
Cool idea nonetheless, if someone wants me on their Fort Cafe team then let me know.

Re: Fortress Cafe Tournament
Ok, postponed, but considering this is probably happening a month earlier or so, I figured it wouldn't interfere.

Re: Fortress Cafe Tournament
I would highly recommend that you all organize lots of big teams. We will definitely be able to supply 8 decent servers between 6 of my own and 2 donated Euro servers. That means this can be as big as a typical ladle! But, think about this: sixteen 8 player teams! That means that a 16-team Fortress Cafe tournament can handle 128 players! A 16 team ladle only holds 96 people. Guys, if anybody wants to get some buddies that haven't played in a Ladle involved in this, THIS IS A GREAT TOURNAMENT FOR THEM TO START IN! Fortress Cafe is THE server to teach n00bs in! Fortress Cafe Tournament is THE tournament to get n00bs to tourneys and players that don't play in Ladles to play!

Re: Fortress Cafe Tournament
Bump about this tournament, server signups would be very helpful along with teams so it will actually happen
