I got the impression that it was best of 1.


Round 1: Caustic Valley, brings it down to 32 teams
Round 2: Frozen City Night, brings it down to 16 teams
Round 3: River City, brings it down to 8 teams
Round 4: Canyon Netowrk, brings it down to 4 teams
Round 5: HPG Manifold, brings it down to 2 teams
Round 6: Tourmaline Desert, brings it down to 1 team

but then i realized I am bad at math, and:

Round 7: Forest Colony


So it must be 4 out of 7.


More fun that just a single match IMO. More explosions, etc.

I went to super's teamspeak to ask him some of these questions and found out from his unit that today was his anniversary So I am sure he will answer the questions whenever his better half lets him run free.

P.S. congrats on that anniversary also

WHAT TIME IS THE TOURNAMENT START ON MONDAY?

Starting 7pm EDT. If you can't make that time let me know what time you will be on. You will NOT be disqualified if you can't show right away. I am flexible and will match people up as needed as in later in the evening if required. IF you need you a Tuesday or Wednesday drop let me know ASAP so I can match you against a team asking for the same.

I also have questions about the scheduling. It isn't planned to try and do it all in one day, is it?
I wonder if it would be possible to do our first match on Tuesday, we could do our 2nd on Tuesday as well. (Hypothetically)
My teammate is available basically every day except Monday.
64 teams -> reduced to 32 -> 16 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1
I imagine it would take awhile to play so many matches, even with single elimination.

Yes Tuesday for yours first match is doable. I will find another team that wants Tuesday. The 2nd match will depend on the bracket so likely not Tuesday night for the 2nd match if you advance

Yes single elimination 1 round only. Bring it or go home

There are 7 rounds listed, so I'll assume first to 4.
I really want to bring Wub...but I know I shouldn't.

7 rounds listed in case more teams join and it goes farther. IF by some chance I need more than 7 rounds I will keep adding map selections.

Mcgral18, on 12 September 2014 - 04:21 PM, said:

That's a typo. First to 4, best of 7.

Single elimination. Win and advance, lose and go home.

While more explosions are fun this is a lose and you're done tournament. So if you do not win you're out of the tournament. Double elimination tournaments are awesome but take much longer. My goal is to have this over in a maximum of two weeks barring a mass influx of teams.

[Fire and Salt]

1 Game, 100 games - doesn't matter to me, should be fun



Mcgral18 and myself are signing up now.

We can't do Monday, but we can do any other day of the week.
Thanks for working with us on the scheduling!

I love tournaments!

Do you know anyone with access to the spectator tool?

get some casting and streams going.

No I don't but I will certainly ask around. Great idea! I will definitely be streaming all the matches I spectate and play in. 150mb up/150mb down internet def helps with that!

[Varik Ronain]

One of the guys from from the jin roh wolf brigade was casting last night on NGNG when I was dropping with them. They also have at least 1 team int he 2 man tourney. Perhaps reach out to them?

[Nightmare1]

BerserX and I will both be participating in the tourney. Ping permitting, I will be streaming it. However, I can't guarantee that for certain - it seems I have a 50/50 success rate these days. I sure hope PGI can fix the desync issues soon!

[Fire and Salt]

I wish I could stream.... sadly, my computer can barely handle this game... I wouldn't dare streaming.



Were only certain players granted access to spectator mode? Is it still in the testing phase?

[MangoBogadog]

Hmm, on a Monday that's going to be like 2am for me on a work day. If this was on Friday or Saturday I would be happy to stay up late for it.

GL and hope it goes well!

Will the teams be able to choose either alpha, bravo, charlie lance?

Yes.

Superman1980, on 14 September 2014 - 06:44 PM, said:

Yes.

How will that be set though? if a team on team 1, say, has a brawler setup, they could pick the closet DZ or spawn to alpha lance. But then if team 2 sees that they switch and they have a sniping setup, then they will switch spawns.

So how will you make it that teams aren't infinitely countering the spawn lances?

[n r g]

Always, we are playing magician/firebeyer round 1; how would we go about attempting to get the game pushed back 1hour or 2hours later than 7CDT?

[Jay Z]

I would love to compete however, I think timezones would be an issue (my internet can't handle MWO from 9am-5pm AEST which is 7pm-3am EST) and I have IRL stuff every weekend all weekend. I do like the idea of a 2v2 tourney, have fun all.

Good point we will go with Alpha spawns for both teams the entire Tourney. Thank you for the suggestions and input. I've been feeling under the weather for a bit so they're MUCH appreciated.

Sure starting at 8 or 9EDT is fine if they agree. But remember the tourney starts at 7EDT not 7CDT so it's starting an hour later than you posted. Also starting at 7EDT doesn't mean anyone will be disqualified for not being there promptly. I just need 2 teams ready to go and then proceed from there.

For the next tourney I will have a forum setup for setting up times/dates and expect it to run longer. As I gave this one a short window to signup I expect to be able to more free wheel manage it with the lower amount of teams.

Vesarius6 and I are slated to match up with Swashbucklers tonight but will not be able to make it until closer to 930 eastern. Also, what teamspeak does the tourney use?

Thanks,
