Azza's Garden Invitational Online Tournament.

Azza

Right a while back I said I would try running an online tournament. So now that I'm done with Fallout New Vegas I'm going finally and try and get the ball rolling.

Basically I'm going rip of the God's Garden online tournament.

Format
12 players.
1 character only tournament.
Console=Xbox 360.

Round 1
First round happens over a 3 night period (Fri-Sunday) on a date yet to be announced.

In the first round everyone plays each other in a first to 3.

Each victory is worth 3 points.

After everyone plays each other the bottom 4 are eliminated.

In the event we have a tie for 8th place a play off game between the tied players will occur. This is also first to 3.

Round 2
Second round will happen over a period of 2-3 weeks following round 1.

Second round is first to 10.

All match results are reported by the winner to me, via IRC, boards PM or e-mail.

Lag Rules
Test match to be carried out before a tournament match proper. If both characters agree its okay the match goes ahead.

If there is lag between two players we will try to reschedule the match. If there is still lag we will try to determine which player the lag is coming from by having players connect to other players and see if they are still lagging. The player who is causing the lag will forfeit the match.

If the game starts lagging mid match. The players can postpone the remaining matches but the result of the current match still counts.

In the event of a drop, the player who drops forfeits the current match.

Invited players.
Azza
Blag
Bush
Cobelcog
Dreddybajs
Gorysnake
Hound
Ian McTetly
Kirby
Newtype
Sagat08
The Truth

Obviously invited players can opt out of the tournament for whatever reason.
In that event other players will be invited in there place.

Those invited that want to play, just reply below with their character of choice.

bush

Ill play but invite only is weird. Half those dudes are laggy or dont play online.

Nice idea Azza...... invite only - kinda wierd. For something like this here prob best to try it first with players who all have very good connections etc. I'm not advocating who in particular but have to agree with Bush that the first people should be those with little/no lag. For example, I could never do it cause our internet is rubbish. This also means Brian couldn't.

Good idea, needs a bit of work to make work though - no?

Azza

I'm aware that 2 of the players don't play online normally, Newtype and The Truth but I asked Blag to ask them anyway.

As for lag. Well Newtype and The Truth are unknown. The rest I've had good consistently good connections with except Cobels recently who's a bit irratic. But most of the time its playable fine.

hey, keep me in mind if anyone cant make it or opts out. or the next time:D

Placebo

WHY not do this via PM if you want to be so elite?

Azza

What difference would that make?

Azza

First thing i thought when i saw that list was wheres red. I suppose its all those 9th places :pac:

Id put ken and prenelf on there too, all 3 are good and have decent connections.

I suppos lag can vary day to day, person to person. People just need to make sure no one else is using the net in their house while they are playing. Sf4 turns to crap even when people are just browsing the net on the same connection ive found.

Its better than Farz's new sig

The sig police strike..Some one must have reported you?

Self promotion is a no no Farz.

Doctor DooM

Didn't want to fight in your tournament, anyway. *Sulks*


(Couldn't really anywho, I don't be in Celbridge at weekends and I've have to be a dictator (pardon the pun) about other people using the ent while I was playing, which aint really fair.)

Cobelcog

Sounds cool, I should be up for this. Getting fiber-optic installed next week so connection should be better as well.

Speedhaak

Have a good one guys

Scavenger XIII

Needs a Devils Back-Yard tourney for the rest of us scrubs.

Dreddybajs

I'm not gonna enter this so Red you can play anyhow

K.O.Kiki

But will it be streamed?

GorySnake

Thanks for the invite but I honestly dont trust my connection enough to participate in an online tournament

Azza

Up to yourself Gory. Is your connection erratic?

It ranges from grand to near unplayable for a few seconds, having to wait for it to go back to normal

BanjoB

Why not have more players azza???. Count me in in the next anyway If there's space.

Azza

12 was the number used at God's Garden. Was thinking I don't want to over do it with too many matches at my first attempt to run something like this.

If its successfully we could future tournaments, possible do like a second league where the top 4 from league 2 go up to league 1 and the bottom 4 from league 1 are relegated.

The Hound

Sounds good, I'd be up for it. Even with the bad connections, Nice to get the ball rolling on it

Azza
