I know, that's why I wanted to post it yesterday allready. Ahwell, it's up now.
 
And Mats, we all know Scandinavians are weirdos.

I rest my case...

So after suggestions: MR12, 2 minutes rounds.
VoiceComms will be TeamSpeak (I was thinking every team his own channel, a bit better then depending on CT or T-team Mats). Maybe an SquadLeaders-VC-channel aswell should there be any problems.
Starting times for the tournament? What do you guys think of 12.00 UKtime?

Sounds good but I would prefer a 1PM start time if it's not too much trouble.

Agreed, avoid starting at a 'food' time as parents will force littluns to the table and away from the keyboard.  If we're on 2 min rounds, make sure the maps are not too big.

Okay, 13.00 UKtime it is.
If Whitey can have a look again about the reply concerning the map and so.
Any suggestions on how to start a 5 teams tourney?

It's going to be difficult.  You either need to draw two teams into a qualifier round to knock one out (not very nice as that team only gets one match), you play a league system with the winner being the one with the most wins (will need 10 matches to decide if your not having a final) or you change the teams around so that it's an even number of teams.

Anyone else have any ideas? :g:

Well there are two servers so how about a round-robin thingy, Everyone gets to play everyone else with 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw. The top two play for first and second and the next two play for third and fourth. The others are the losers and can be mocked endlessly.
Each team plays five matches except for the losers.
Might take a long while to complete though? :g:

2 min rounds @ MR9 would be fairly quick wouldn't it?

[DuVeL]

Anymore ideas?

That would take 4 hours 40 minutes with only 4 minutes between matches and no delays, so probably more like 5 hours+ :blink:

That's fine with me as I've nothing else planned :flirty:

Ah, my mistake. maybe I meant MR5 then.

First suggestion, try to make 4 teams.  It solves a lot of problems and cuts it down to 3 matches only in the round robin and makes a final more possible.  Drop the idea of a losers final imo, nobody will want a 4th hour in a chair when they know they have lost.

If we stick with 5 teams then round robin is the only way forward imo (knocking someone out is unacceptable), but given the number of potential games to be played I would drop the second round, i.e. just get each team to play each other (4 matches total).  If you award 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw etc, but then as a tie breaker use something like the kill score in each match of the lowest ranked member of each team (this avoids an elite player's score skewing the tie break in their favour and brings it down to the level the team plays at).  If the lowest scoring player has a score of say 3-9 in each match then the total tie break score for that team after 4 matches would be 9 (highest tie break score would win).  This system is unlikley to result in a tie at the end of this but if it is tied then we could always play a 2 round final on something like de_deagle, one each way and repeat until someone gets a 2 round lead.

5 teams with 2 min MR9 and just the round robin stage would mean 4 matches x 2 mins x 9 rounds x 2 for CT & T= 144 mins, plus 10 mins between rounds (x3) = 174 mins.  This assumes no knife round (just tell them in advance who will go CT first) and is just about manageable.

4 teams on the same basis gives 3 x 2 x 9 x 2 = 108 + 20 = 128 mins.  Much more manageable.

HTH.

I'm not sure how it would be only 4 matches :blink: If each team plays every other team once then it is 10 matches.

1v2 1v3 1v4 1v5
2v3 2v4 2v5
3v4 3v5
4v5

[DuVeL]

Damn, I suck at maths...
I'll have a look...

[TeaLeaf]

I'm not sure how it would be only 4 matches

4 matches = 4 matches per team, not 4 matches total.
