Title: L4D ladder?
Post by: Sn00ks on April 02, 2009, 03:13:53 PM
Well we had fun and we want more. :woot2:
 
Are you a “Hunter Punter”??
Is your pouncing not poncy?
Are your bowels nice and loose?
Know how to tongue effectively?
Have you got three mates who think they're good?
No? OK, have you got three acquaintances that aren’t rubbish?
Sod it, do you know three people who can walk and breathe at the same time?
Do you think you've got what it takes to be the dMw L4D champions?
 
dMw Entertainments proudly present the L4D Ladder Tournament thingy. :yahoo:
 
The ladder will consist of a number of teams playing round-robin tournament matches on versus L4D maps; starting with the first map in the campaign and working through to the end over the following weeks.
The two teams with the highest combined scores will go through to the final which will be played on one level using the same rules.
 
Matches will initially be played on Wednesday nights starting between 19:30 and 20:00. This is flexible and can be changed to suit the team’s availabilities.
 
 
Rules
1. Each level will be played twice with teams taking it in turns to start as Survivors.
2. The combined scores of each round will be added to the teams overall score in the ladder.
3. All-talk will be turned off.
4. The Saferoom door will be locked.
5. Exploitation of any map flaws or unsportsmanlike behaviour will not be tolerated.
6. Each team must nominate one person to act as leader and be responsible for ensuring players turn up. This person must also note of the scores and post them; taking screen shots and keeping them for later verification if required.
7. Bots will not be used to fill vacant slots.
 
 
So what are you waiting for?
Roll up, roll up! Make your mark, draw a line in the sand and stand by your beds!
Compile your team and post it.
If you haven’t got any friends then don’t despair. You can always put your name down as a sub and who knows maybe there will be three other ‘billy-no-mates’ who might join you?

If other teams cancel or do not show for an agreed match then they will end up forfitting the game.

In this case I don't think the match was actually agreed and so it wasn't a no-show. But please be aware that if you want to have a ladder then you do need to do more than just create a team. Strangely enough you do actually have to play matches. :blink:

So team leaders, when you get challenged by another team please agree a suitable time ASAP. Also when you challenge another team please give them enough notice to respond before the due date. One week should be sufficient.

Ok currently i have my studies to concentrate on. If bridget can make a match we will. Currently i have my dissertation to complete and exams at the end of may. T-bag is in the same boat and so is tox. So unless we actually discuss the match times, preferably with me and not just post them up then bridget won't be able to play. In all the lan is pretty much one of the few times i wil be doing a gaming spree until the end of May.

If the schedule is amended can the person who edits it please in future post  a post beneath to show it had been changed or edited. An edited post within the schedule topic won't show up as a new topic hence why this time i didn't see the topic at all!

Tonight 15th April is therefore a no go. If a team want to play bridget please send a pm to me.

Thanks,

GM,
I did send you a PM over a week ago about tonights match. I got a reply from one of you saying that he'd be there.
 
Maybe if you can't play until later in the year it might be worth disbanding Bridget (ooo err) to allow members to join other teams? Or getting someone to replace you until you are available?

Have any matches actually taken place yet?

Would it be a good idea to switch the set up around & try something differant - how about team survivor challenge? with the new update it only takes 1 team to organise themselves, post a time & see if someone else can go beat it.

The thought did cross my mind.
 
But the first of many ladder matches starts tomorow night :yahoo:
 
Fingers crossed the others will start too.
 
Unless people can not be bothered? What do you think? Should I give up on the Ladder and look at how we can make the Survivor mode work? :g:

I don't mind either, or both, It just seems to be a bit of a struggle getting the ladder going, maybe a few people should stay team free & fill in as subs as it seems a bit of a struggle to organise a time when 2 teams full are all going to be online at the same time.

How about having just two teams. We all line up against the (virtual) wall and the captains pick the teams. Then the match is played from a pool of available players using a rotation system to ensure everyone gets a game.

From now until July 4th i can not gaurentee that i will be available for matches as i have GCSE's starting on the 18th May and need to get some sort of revision going. I will still be playing regularly but cannot guarentee my presence at matches, but will let you know before the match has begun :).
As for the ladder.. Why not use tomorow night as a tester run?
Or do both and use a points system for 1 point a minute or something along them lines :rolleyes:
