No knockdown weapons are allowed

Just have to say, this is a pretty poor rule. Not only do you eliminate 90% of blunt damage weapons, you also nerf any polearmer who wishes to play the speed game. In 1v1 dueling scenarios, a weapons' speed is king, and some of the fastest polearms deal blunt damage, with knockdown. 1handers and 2handers still have access to their fastest weapons, and now polearms don't. In the EU tournament organized by Panos, knockdown weapons were allowed, however you could not hit someone you knock down (unless it was a chamber kick or something). I don't see why the "No knockdown weapons allowed" rule can't be replaced with the one where hitting someone on the ground makes you forfeit that round. It was therefore a risk to bring a knockdown weapon, since if you lost control you could easily make yourself lose the round. Currently the fastest weapon that polearmers have access to would be the shortened spear, and come on, that hardly compares to a longsword.

Don't hold your breath... half of us are gonna be no-shows I bet cuz it's a Saturday night. I wish this tournament was held where the participants get a certain number of days to complete their duel, and at the end of that period they can then schedule their next match up. For a tournament this small, it would really only take 1.5-2 weeks time.

But if you can make it try and record so those of us that miss out can still see the highlights!

Hey Jona, Get ready to Get dunked on, bud.

Pretty sure we would both have to make it to the finals for that to happen... if it happens though, I will gladly let myself get dunked on. But whoever is facing me round 1, prepare to have a nice bye, the odds of me making it back by 7PM are slim to none.

Confirmed, over by 56 gold. Yuroi moves on.

It is each participant's own responsibility to make sure they are within the equipment requirements. If you are found to be breaking the rules at any point(unless a Tournament Admin catches it prior to the start of the match), you will be disqualified.

Check the rules in the OP, I clarified some and added additional ones that will go into effect starting Sunday, June 22nd.

Edit:
DMX had 17774 gold in equipment.

Allers and Firebus being DQ'd really thins out the competition. I'm predicting a Miley vs. Kaoklai final battle.

From the first round I thought that Sandersson vs. Require was the best fight. I really liked Sandersson's use of nudges and Require's kicks. Pretty flashy for a tryhard event like this.

Indeed.

Sadly, since so few people showed up, we played the 3 matches that we could, but not enough people showed for more than that. We'll resume next weekend on Saturday 7PM EST. If you want to fight your match prior to that date, feel free, but both participants must post their results in this thread with screenshots, or it won't be recorded.

You really need to put this stuff together better and maybe have it span over a few days and let people that couldnt show up on that day still fight somehow.............

For any following tournaments we will allow players to schedule their own matches. I don't believe in retroactively enforcing new rules, because of that, I'm going to have to say no, you can't.

This event was horribly managed and I ended up just wasting 2 hours of my time with only 1 duel to show for it. The lack of organization and planning from the NA admins is really disappointing. Having as few as 2 active admins for a 50+ man tournament is just lazy. I'm not wasting anymore time on this poorly managed tournament. Also disappointed they didn't stick to the original details of the tournament (wasn't on arena).

NA_8 gets logs, so even though main server admins don't have any power on NA_8, the logs can be checked by them to double-check duel results.

This post is going to come across as white-knighting (especially since I'm an admin) but making events like these successful is really a two-way street.  Obviously administrators need to do a good job organizing the event & getting things prepared/keeping channels of communication open & making it clear what participants are supposed to be doing and when they're supposed to be doing it...but the participants also have a responsibility to adhere to the scheduled times & make an effort to honor commitments.

It's not the coordinator's faults if a bunch of people said they'd duel, and then they don't show up or are late or don't follow the rules... and it's a pain in the ass for coordinators to constantly pester people to respond/participate/confirm details like they're some sort of internet nanny.

Both sides have a responsibility to uphold their end of the bargain if an event is going to be successful.

While it is obviously the responsibility of a contestant to make an appearance, there was a request to post contact information so that the tournament admins could contact the contestants, or that is what I assume they wanted their contact information for. I know Tristan of Erzoth signed up for the tournament and was completely unaware it had even happened by round 3, which was days after it began. Other such as Knightmare and Firebus were also unaware of when the tournament was suppose to be. Tristan himself told me he was waiting for the admins to contact him about the tournament and I'm wondering how many others missed due to the same reason. I also know the late implementation of the substitute system screwed atleast one person over. Shiftknife was there when his fight was announced and waited over an hour before he decided to leave. He went to sleep and was later informed of how his opponent arrived late and fought a substitute. To be honest, the whole thing fell apart pretty much. Most the contestants couldn't make it or possibly didn't even know when it was suppose to be. More than half the people I would put money on winning didn't make and I wonder if it's better if we restarted the tournament. It seems unfair to those who have competed but I feel the people who missed the tournament were cheated a even more.

You even gave up on trying to organize it in one day and gave people the option to organize their own duels. A tournament representing the best where the best in the competition can't make it doesn't represent much.

Lol, it says on the forums when it starts. The event host cannot message every single person who signed up to make sure they show up. Also the people who missed the tournament, why should they feel cheated? I played all my matches and even stayed afterwards, and I went up against a guy that already lost the tournament.(Guess the admins don't check accounts?) If I was say the first dueler and my opponent wasn't here why should I have to wait TWO hours for him to log on or find a substitute? That's pretty bullshit when the bracket is visible to everybody, I realize NA doesn't have as many players as EU but during the EU tourny everyone was DQ if they didn't show up and the tourny ran much smoother...

I don't think it would have taken that much to message people. Write down the the date and time and send it through a mass message on the forum or website to the people who put that as their contact information. Copy paste it to those who use steam. Neither should take all that long and by what I've seen that's the majority of contact information for players, all the people who missed it because they were unaware of the date.

46 total participants played in at least one match. That's still pretty good to be honest. Oh, and if anyone is curious, 7 of the top 8 players (those that reached quarter finals) were Polearm users, only one (the least favored of the 8) was 2h. Bit odd, no?  :wink:
Title: Re: NA Melee Duel Tournament
Post by: GOBBLINKINGREATLEADER on June 29, 2014, 07:15:44 pm
Well thats not so bad after all.

The polearm bit doesn't surprise me at all though. I've thought for quite some time that polearm is the elite class, especially after the attribute changes a few months ago. I think 2h legitimately may have been the strongest class when I started nearly two years ago. Now I have no doubt at all ftom watching NA1.
Title: Re: NA Melee Duel Tournament
Post by: Kaoklai on June 29, 2014, 07:35:59 pm
I think a lot of people chose polearm just because duels took place in an open field with basically limitless s-key.  Put people in an enclosure and you'll see a lot more 1h and 2h.  Most of the good 2h (Allers, Firebus, Oodle) and some other decent 2h were DQ'd early, too.

Polearm isn't stronger than 2h, it's just that only like 8 people in NA know how to play 2h anymore.

It would be cool if we had more media or promotion related to this, doesn't anyone agree? Anything to enhance the recognition the players feel for winning will go much further to improving attendance and sign-ups than just saying "ill give u a loom point if u win ok?" Not that I'm ragging on the rewards here, they were pretty cool. Really I think you could use a small Events team. Maybe you already have one, but I haven't seen them.

I would love to see a better prepared tournament, with the Arena map and more participants to make it more interesting. Also maybe change it up and make it bo3 or something, I was pretty out of it after fighting kaoklai for 5 minutes on just one round then another round having the map change mid duel. It's obvious who are the better players in the long duels(FT5), but if you made the tournament single elimination or bo3 you would see a lot more upsets and an overall more appealing tournament with different results each time.(maybe)

NOTE: The NA community needs to have some responsibility, to show up for matches or schedule a match on your own time. There were also A LOT of things the event host/devs could have done to make the tournament MUCH smoother.

I played polearms because I had a MW Long Hafted Blade, while my 2handers include Longsword and Flamberge (MW)... Flamberge isn't the best dueling weapon, and I didn't want to use Longsword because I could probably be kicked very easily.
