Competitions - Where are we??

[Penfold]

If I may, I think you should consider running some sort of large team-based competition first thing on the Saturday. This gets people in the mood playing together, slagging off other teams and helps with the camaraderie and setting the tone for the day. The Deagle comp may be a bit too small?

Just a thought and if you agree perhaps a CS:S comp. Given that numbers are down we could make it a lot smaller and therefore quicker.

Anyway I'll leave that one with you to mull over.

Hmm, I like yours  a lot there Ninja, though I must say, CS:S Team KO is always a big hit, and now that we dont'have a public server running no more,
I think a lot will happily play at the LAN.

Ho Kay.. Let's dig up and dust off the CS:S Team KO.. Let's make it fun though! Perhaps we can run it on Rat Maps??
 
I agree with Pen that we should move it up a notch to the opener.. so....:

I had an idea on how we can make this fun.. what if we had a Time Trial Challenge on a PC with a Wheel / Pedals combo that everyone had to use in order to post up their time. In addition, we could have this on the big screen (ie: projector) for us all to laugh at the contestant...
 
Using a whiteboard or flip chart we could post up scores alla Top Gear and move people up and down the leaderboard.. Contest to close at 8pm on Saturday. Beer at the bar..

Yeah I likes it. Looks good from me

Nice idea over all but I would swap Cod an degale myself cause having the 2 whole room games at the beginning is a bit much if we have one in the morning and the afternoon,  we get to keep the whole team bragging rights all the way through the day if you see my meaning.

Loving the Projector Top gear style idea.

I'm sorry pen, missed your post before mine. Ofc its better to move the CS:S up, to get people fired up.
And maybe Tobi is right also, deagle is more fun then real focus, so if thats in between that breaks it a bit.

I love the projector idea too, its a great addition and its the fairest for all contendants, if there is to much animo for it, we might have to set a max nr of runs per hour or so. Just to give everyone a chance to play. (I know some are fanatic enough, including myself, who keep saying "1 more lap, 1 more lap, just one more lap..."

[Gone_Away]

Swap.. Agreed.
 
Oldie, is it possible to run the time-trials off the server? I can use my wheel / pedals..
 
@Lumi - folks should be practicing on their own machines first..

... Oldie, is it possible to run the time-trials off the server?...

'Fraid not. Servers have very basic gfx cards.
