Clan Invasion Part III

Sponsored by the House Steiner HUB

and Clan Wolf, Alpha Galaxy

24 May 2014

Afternoon and Evening (2 events)


Both tournaments will be held at the House Steiner HUB teamspeak: ts1.housesteiner.com

The early session will begin at NOON EST, but be sure to have your lance leaders there by 11:30. (European players, I'm not going to try to convert time this time, because I always mess up.)

(11:30am EST gather, 12:00EST start)

* * *

The evening tournament

(Gather at 7:30PM EST, Event starts at 8pm EST)

Lance leaders PLEASE be there at 7:30. It is very difficult for us scorekeepers to figure out what we're doing and starting things on time if you guys don't show up on time to begin with.)


Both sessions will be scored independently.



So, here's the rules:
Bring as many four man lances to the event as you would like. Each lance will consist of 1 light, 1 medium, 1 heavy, 1 assault.
There will be no artillery, airstrikes and each lance will have a limit of ONE UAV available.
The leader of each lance must have premium time ready to activate/acativated.
Each match will last 12 minutes on maps selected for you by the scorekeepers, to whom you will report your wins and losses to after every drop.

We would like to have only the clan aligned players fighting inner sphere players. If there are uneven teams, and we don't have players willing to volunteer to play for the other side, then we will run this as a general lance tournament where we will only score the lances. Last weekend with the FRR/Steiner tournament, the afternoon had even teams and the evening did not.

There is one possibility that you should be prepared to accept, whether we vote on it or it turns out to be a command decision: we may run this as 'two headed giant' event. That means we'll pair lances together to make 8 man teams. Because some units will have multiple four man teams there and others will not, it would not be fair to pair up two unrelated lances against two related lances. If we do pair lances together into 8 mans, then Merlin and I will choose - probably rather arbitrarily - who you will be paired up with. We aren't doing this to torture you! We want to make this fun, and if you're a smaller group or not part of a hub of players, playing 8 v 8 may not be a common occurrence. Remember, the primary goal behind the House Steiner HUB is to promote community, comradery, honor and sportsmanship between players. We want players to have a fair fight, and most of all: have fun!

More information will soon follow this post, but I wanted to get a notice out to everyone what we WILL run another Clan Invasion Event! I hope all the units that have participated before return, and that new ones check out the event and have a blast! -Peiper

(I'll bump the thread every time new information is added.)

Primary Scorekeepers/Organizers:
Star Colonel Erich Peiper (Devil Dogs)
Loremaster Merlin Conners (Clan Wolf AG)

Perhaps make team sizes 5 players so the event can be Stars vs Stars?

We have a lot to think about, the biggest conundrum being the probable disparity between clan and inner sphere numbers of teams.

One issue we're running into is overall faction disparity. What Chaos585 and I are doing with our FRR vs. Steiner event is:

Steiner and FRR aligned units will automatically play for those factions.
If there are players NOT in those factions, we will do our best to make sure players get a chance to play for their chosen faction but ask for volunteers to play for the other side in order to keep them even.
If we still don't have even factions, we'll have to ask players to play for other factions and hope they do not begrudge us for doing so.

This is a little harder for a Clan vs. Inner Sphere event, because EVERYONE is either one or the other to begin with. Still, we may have to ask for volunteers, then if nothing else, ask individual teams to defect - maybe mercenary teams? I know clans don't use mercs, but what would be the fair way to do it?

Having had a chance to participate in the PGI tournament, some of us CI guys now have a taste for blood. Having looked at your two prior events, this seems like it will be a lot of fun.

I'm working on getting a lance together for Saturday. It is still going down, right?

Forgive the lack of information, ladies and gents. Merlin and I keep missing each other (he's in Scotland, and I'm in Chicago). Last time we spoke we were arguing over team size. Since I've not had a chance to speak with him, I think I'm going to set this up like we did with our Steiner vs. FRR event - to keep things simple. Depending on how many people show up with MIGHT want to try something a little different. That is: pair up 4 man lances with each other to make 8 man teams. I'd make a call for 8 man teams, but at short notice I predict it will be tough for people to put teams of that size together. If we have a good number of four man teams who have already committed to playing the whole time, then it will be simple just to pair up those four mans into eight man teams and duke it out.

So, here's the rules: bring a four man lance to the event. Each lance will consist of 1 light, 1 medium, 1 heavy, 1 assault. There will be no artillery, airstrikes and each lance will have a limit of ONE UAV available. Each match will last 12 minutes on maps selected for you by the scorekeepers, to whom you will report your wins and losses to after every drop.

Possible options to be ready for depending on numbers that show up. Possible last minute changes will be going two-headed giant and combine two lances to make 8 man teams and/or having the teams play out best 2/3 fights. These all depend on numbers of teams who show up.


Both tournaments will be held at the House Steiner HUB teamspeak: ts1.housesteiner.com

The early session will begin at NOON EST, but be sure to have your lance leaders there by 11:30. (European players, I'm not going to try to convert time this time, because I always mess up.)

Wow... lol. I haven't even thought about it lately. My life has changed, and Merlin has also been extremely busy. I wish I had better news, but better to admit nothing when there's nothing to admit than say nothing and leave everyone hangin.' Or something like that...
