Tourneys

Not sure we've ever formalised it enough to have one tbh

L4D.
Round-robin tournament.

Teams of 4, well doh!! :doh:
Only one map, to be decided, probably a finale one.
Each team plays each side.
Team with most points wins.

Trouble is if there is a Tank or Witch spawn for the first team then the second team knows that these events are going to occur and roughly when. So we need to either randomly generate these events and/or prevent the Director from generating them.

I did think of using the scores from the round-robin to decide who plays in the final but that might make it a bit to long? :g:

Thoughts?

OK I've found out that you can disable the Tank/Witch spawns, director_no_bosses cvar.
But the Tank is a part of the final maps scenarios, so maybe pick an alternate map for the competition?

Im reserving judgement on L4D till i actually have a proper game of it (been working all hours since downloading it)

bearing in mind that Degal + CS + driving will take you from 11am - aprox 330-4ish

we then usually have the cod4 or summin as well, thourneys need to stop at 630 ish due to needing to eat.

are we going to drop cod4? I think this would b a shame - how long would the scurmish idea take???

how long would the L4D tourney take??

Penfold · February 26, 2009, 11:07:08 PM

OK let's put this into some semblance of order:

Say we have 40 ppl playing.

Friday
Freeplay

Saturday
11.00am CS:S Tourney 5 vs 5 random draw - straight knockout. 8 teams > 4 Teams > 2 Teams > winner

Lunch

2.30pm L4D Comp 4vs4 We haven't got enough time for a round robin L4d so it'll have to be one map played once as Infected and once as survivors. Tally points. Straight knockout.

4.00pm Deagle. We can run the concurrently with L4D and jiggle the teams as needed to compensate for ppl playing.

5.00pm COD 15min FFA + 15min best 6 fraggers

5.30pm COD4 1/2 room vs 1/2 room

Sat Night - Freeplay

Sunday
Freeplay

*We normally have a LFS race which slots around the other games and don't normally set a time for this.

Thoughts?

We will make that work.

If we make the L4D map one of the indoor mid-campaign ones then it shouldn't take too long for each match to finish, say the penultimate No Mercy one?
If the Infected get it right it could be over in seconds :roflmao:.

Yes I think we could squeeze it in as a straight knock-out.

Penfold · February 27, 2009, 09:58:06 AM

Arm's (rightly) pointed out that mass CoD is not playable so we need to make it smaller. He's suggesting 5v5 but I'm not sure we'll have time. What about 8-10 per side then we can have 4 teams >2teams>winner?

Penfold · February 27, 2009, 12:31:01 PM

Ok then.

1. Sn00ks - are you willing to take ownership of the L4D competition? (Oldie will also be around to help I'm sure

)
2. Arm + Lib - are you willing to take ownership of the CoD4 competition?
3. Whitey (+ PEN) - are you willing to take ownership of the CS:S 5 vs 5 competition?
4. Sheepy - are you willing to take ownership of the CS:S Deagle competition (Mats + whitey can help on maps and I can sort servers).
4. LFS will be organised directly by Ron as usual (I presume?)

We can organise the teams and the stages but I need someone with the server know-how to set the servers up / decide on maps / format etc?

Sn00ks, if you're happy to do this and want to do a round robin we'll need to estimate the amount of time it takes (perhaps a dry run one night?). I'm happy to do whatever will be most fun we just can't afford to run out of time.

Please can you let me know if you're happy to do these....

Thanks

Sn00ks · February 27, 2009, 12:36:45 PM

OK Pen I'm game to give it a go, I'll probably have to rely on Oldie's help a bit.

I think a test run tourney would be a laugh and give us a good idea of whether it would work or not. I'll see what I can organise.

Penfold · February 27, 2009, 01:41:46 PM

Nice one thanks.

If it's any consolation you'll get a nice red LAN badge out of it :norty:

God if I'd have known I could have had another badge I would have volunteered myself :doh: :narnar: :lmfao:

Penfold · February 27, 2009, 03:13:50 PM

heh I'd dearly love to give you a badge but realise it's unlikely you'll be making it down South :sad:
