Seeing as how we took over BoD's server for a wee while whilst ours was moved into a nice new Redbus, Docklands rack, we thought we'd offer BoD the chance for some revenge ;) So here's the idea:
- We organise a tournament over the xmas/new year period.
- It's a fun tournament where peeps _will_ have fun, period. Serious and boring peeps need not apply ;)
- We will choose some suitably themed maps for the tournament
- We have teams of 6 - many more per team and the maps become more death match and less fun
- We select a Squad Leader for each team and the SL gets to choose a name and tag for their 'mini-clan'
- We split the teams into Divisions and have a round robin (or similar) within the division
- Winning teams (usually top 1 or 2) then go through to the semis and a final is played from the winners
- HLTV is used to record the finals etc
- Results are posted up in a dedicated section on our forums
- #deadmen on quakenet is used as a meeting place for all the players and each team opens up its own room for team members to discuss taccies etc
- dMw provide the gaming servers (although depending on how many simultaneous matches we need to run we may need to involve BoD's servers too)
- The prize for winning is the sheer gloating value you attain for the next 6 months until the 2005 mid-year tournament
- We can split the teams either by dMw/BoD or mix the teams or whatever combination.
How about it? I reckon it would be fun, so if you're interested then post your name here and I will edit in a list of those interested.
The date proposed is 27th December 2004.
The proposed time for the first match is 1.30pm and the last finals should finish by 6.30pm.
Remember that these times are subject to change as the number of tournament players evolves. The date and time have still to be agreed with BoD and they have still to get anyone volunteering for the tournie other than Wallace!

Stand aside. I'm coming through.
As is my usual want, could you stick me down as a team whore. I'll play for anyone should they be short, or people need breaks, but I can't commit to the whole 5 hours as I'll probably have a Benny-ete with me.

TL.
Well I just received this:
"FoCA|Bob_Barley,
dMw's BoDyblow Tournament is a week tomorrow (27th December) and the Squad Leaders have been announced.
Individual team members are now being selected by the Squad Leaders and the 8 teams of 5 people each will soon be posted on the forums. Keep an eye on the forums to see which team you are in and let battle commence!
We would still like a few more people to be around as a backup just in case someone is ill, their ADSL drops or they have temporary amnesia, so please post in the forum thread if you would like to be considered as a reserve.
Finally, the Admins of dMw would like to wish every member of the dMw Tactical Counter-Strike Community and their family a very peaceful Christmas and a happy new year.
The Admins"
As much fun as it would be, I think I'd have to be dMw to be able to play, thanks though ;)

Bob, the competition is open to all dMw community members. You are a member of dMw's Alpha Company so you are eligible to play if you want to do so. We have many people from all Companies playing in the tournament, so put your name down if you want to join in!

Blimey, only just saw this when the email came round - I ought to pay more attention. If there's any space left for an grumpy old sod like myself I'd love to take part.
