In house tournament Sunday 22 June

Dr Sadako · May 15, 2003, 10:11:09 AM

It was a long time since we had the last in house tournament (5th January to be exact) and I really enjoyed it the last time. I think we should get another one going.

22 June or 1 July (both sundays) are dates that are more than a month away. Keep the same shape of the tournament as before i.e. 4 teams with 6 players.

Last time we used Aztec, Dust 2, Inferno and Nuke.

This time maybe we should do a theme? One idea could be oriental influence. Shogun, Osaka, Bigwong etc I know that some of those maps are CS maps. Another could be to have DM style maps to break from the PCS i.e. iceworld, poolday, prospeedball. Intense and hectic matches. Could be lots of fun. We know this from the LAN.

What do you think?

I agree that it's time for another tourny bit I'm concerned that we may struggle to get teams with only 1 month to organise added to the fact that Summer's a'commin'.

can we stick it down on the avalability and see how many can make it ?

We could but it was open to all PCS members before and I think that we would easily fill up 24 slots in a month.

I agree that it is close to summer and that is why I want it now and not after the summer. :wtf:

OldBloke · May 15, 2003, 12:34:24 PM

I think we should open it up to all PCS members after the clan have all had a chance to signup so sticking up on the availability page is a good idea IMHO.

I must say though that I won't be available. Sunny Sunday afternoons are too few to spend a whole one infront of the poota.

Hey! I picked a rainy one.

Didn't we end up using de_train for the last one?

We need at least a month to get the teams sorted. So let's post something up for beginning of July - just ask for people who want to play, say we will announce teams, team size, maps etc nearer the time.

I would suggest that we need to set out how many teams we are going to have and decide whether to do a Knock Out or a Round Robin like last time. Round robins take up a lot more time.

If we had say 2/4/8/16 teams of 'however many' then we could run the Knockout. But we do not need to tell them whether or not we are doing knock out or league style just yet - let's sign them up and then sort the details when we know how many are coming along.

Suggestion - We use 3 min rounds (quicker)

I like the idea of some short sharp maps like the deagle maps. They are pretty intense for a competition!

I also like the idea of a theme - so let's discuss this for a while longer and then provide map and tourney style details to the entrants later.

Think that was the one before actually.

Well, we only have 2 servers so we should keep them busy. I think that 4 teams is enough and all teams meet once. It will be a logistic nightmare with more teams. This is what we are looking at:

4 Teams

2 pm
Team 1 - Team 2 on MH
Team 3 - Team 4 on Baldric

3 pm
Team 1 - Team 3 on MH
Team 2 - Team 4 on Baldric

4 pm
Team 1 - Team 4 on MH
Team 2 - Team 3 on Baldric

5 Teams

2 pm (Team 5 not playing)
Team 1 - Team 2 on MH
Team 3 - Team 4 on Baldric

3 pm (Team 4 not playing)
Team 1 - Team 5 on MH
Team 2 - Team 3 on Baldric

4 pm (Team 3 not playing)
Team 1 - Team 4 on MH
Team 2 - Team 5 on Baldric

Dinner break if needed 5-6 pm

6 pm (Team 2 not playing)
Team 1 - Team 3 on MH
Team 4 - Team 5 on Baldric

7 pm (Team 1 not playing)
Team 2 - Team 4 on MH
Team 3 - Team 5 on Baldric

6 Teams (This requires 3 servers.)

2 pm
Team 1 - Team 2 on MH
Team 3 - Team 4 on Baldric
Team 5 - Team 6 on ?

3 pm
Team 1 - Team 3 on MH
Team 2 - Team 5 on Baldric
Team 4 - Team 6 on ?

4 pm
Team 1 - Team 4 on MH
Team 2 - Team 6 on Baldric
Team 3 - Team 5 on ?

Dinner break if needed 5-6 pm

6 pm
Team 1 - Team 5 on MH
Team 2 - Team 4 on Baldric
Team 3 - Team 6 on ?

7 pm
Team 1 - Team 6 on MH
Team 2 - Team 3 on Baldric
Team 4 - Team 5 on ?

You see that it will take equally long time to have 5 teams as to have 6 teams in the tournament.

Sure. I don't expect "time run out wins" to be a problem on DM maps.

They were great fun at the LAN. That fy_iceworld was very intense and lots of fun.

Maybe we could keep that one until the next tournament in the fall/winter.

FatBob · May 18, 2003, 07:11:22 PM

jb lent us his server for a match a little while ago and it was well good also our friends over at cbm have rather a spanky 1
in fact as a suggestion we could see about a cbm team, a dg team , and a dmw invitational select xi (people like fatal and snooks and the tox family regulars etc) as well as 3 mixed dmw teams im sure we'd have no trouble filling the avail for that, 18 out of 25 dmw members on any given sunday is a fairly safe bet. it would be fun to involve the other clans as well, most of them we know already and have played many friendlies with, imho it would add a bit of spice to the proceedings.
just a suggestion so feel free to flame away !! :lol:

TeaLeaf · May 18, 2003, 08:02:09 PM

As the cat is out of the bag for the inhouse tourney, then it may be difficult to work that idea in to this one, but I like the concept. Maybe we should do another tourney not that long afterwards on that basis?

Theme: snow!

You remember the xmas pack we never played. I played winterdust recently and it was a very different experience. Very fun but different.

I played cs_snowflake on TG and it was a fun map.

TeaLeaf · May 20, 2003, 07:54:05 PM

OK, that's a done deal. When we know how many peeps we will have (and hence have decided format and team sizes) we can think about which specific snow maps to use.

I think we need to start planning the maps and teams to some extent for the tournament.

Here is the reviews for the X-mas pack.

http://www.cstrike.de/mapreviews/xmas/index.php

Right now we have 30 ppl that have signed up. Unless we have 2 more ppl we could either go with:

teams of 6 = 5 teams (one team sits out, not good)
teams of 5 = 6 teams (needs 3 servers, many matches)
teams of 7 = 4 teams and 2 subs (2 servers)
teams of 8 = 4 teams (requires 2 more ppl)

TeaLeaf · June 11, 2003, 06:26:14 PM

We are going with 4 teams irrespective of how many sign up, but that's just between you and me, OK?
