all cRPG CLAN FALLEN TOURNAMENT (number 04)

[Beauchamp]

thx to all for coming and punisher for organizing it.

- everybody was really disciplined this time, i liked that a lot (except for one Guard guy that earned points down for the next tourney to his team - the tradition is kept :o)
- a few people on tournament server aren't possible, just more and more clans want to come, we can't count with 64 player limit anymore and the only server that is hacked for higher than 64 ammount is thx to odin the fallen one. until we find some other solution in the future, most of the tournaments will be on this server so you will have to live with the higher pings.
- another qualifying system can be used anytime, we will have to think about it. i don't think that this was a bad system totally, it enabled us to make qualifiers really fast (which is important).
- btw the lag is caused by connection (between server and you) and not server, there are people (like me) who easily have 20 ping there all the time and no lags at all.

Now to clear a few things.

This was the first tournament I organized and I wanted to make it different so I thought to try the 4v4v4 fights. From my point of view there were 2 problems with this system:

1) The arenas the fights were held into were too big, we first wanted to go for the small arena (the one in the far right, you might have noticed it), now I see we should have sticked to that, there would have been a lot less running in circles;

2) The hitbox problem, we had other fights where the teams were in the same faction at the previous tournaments so it didn't really look like a big problem, but I understand why you complain about it and will avoid it in the future tournaments. This time there was no way around as with 16 clans participating, without the simultaneous qualifiers held by me and Beau the tournament would have been 3 hours long.

So the qualifiers were a bit messy, but starting with the playoffs there were some nice fights. I will avoid using this team vs team vs team system in the future though, it was more like a test. The good part is we had a tournament with 16 clans participating and we did it all in one 1 and 1/2 hour session. Without the 4v4v4 system, the tournament would have been split into 2 qualifiers session and the finals session.

What I really liked was the good behaviour you all have shown, I hope it will be the same for the next tournaments.

Thanks everyone for participating, soon there will be some details about the next tournament, stay tuned.

but the best clans (except one :D) made it to finals so it was not over to much luck based system imo

[Torp]

What about something like this: (Requires 4 admins)

4 groups, each with 4 clans. Tournament taking place in normal battle mode. New map with 4 arenas.

That would allow us to have 4 fights simultaniously, and the fights required in each group would be:
A - B
C - D
A - C
B - D
A - D
B - C

This would take a total of only 6 fights (24 fights total, but you can do 4 at a time)
That would take less time than these fights and it would hopefully be better

Thanks for the tournament! We look forward to the next 
PS. Do you have any movies?

@ Torp
Battle mode can't be used because if someone dies he can't respawn untill the round is over. Untill chadz fixes the bugs in deathmatch, CTF is the best mode for tournaments.
As for the 4 groups fighting at the same time I think it will be a bit of a mess, tournament masters will scramble their chat and so on. Most likely I will hold the next tournament in the classic formula, with 2 groups and everybody fighting eachother, or 4 groups, depending on how many clans join. Anyway I still have to think about it, details will come when it's ready

@Harpag
Sadly I don't think anyone recorded it, Arked and IG_Saint were supposed to but they both had some real life problems and couldn't come.




In the meantime, check the poll.

1. You just have to do the 4 battles simultaniously, then start a new battle when they are all done.

2. This can be solved with discipline. Anyone breaking the rules should get an instant 1 hour ban in order to avoid people screwing this up.

Thanks for organizing it again, even if I didn't partake. I know who this Guard was and I WILL have a talk with him. I'm still proud of our team to get into Semi-Finals, thx to Ironsoul for taking over the leader-part.

On behalf of SoA I would like to thank Beauchamp and Punisher for organising this event. We thoroughly enjoyed it apart from some connection issues. We were very lucky to make it into the semi-finals and much congratulations to the Mercs, Shogunates and the Greys. well played. See you all next time. btw you should of played The Mercs and SoA against each other for 3rd and 4th place ;-)

[Bjarky]

[Huey Newton]

Yes the Cavalieres were there but we assumed after the battles were over it was time to leave..
Our mistake

Apologies 

[Punisher]

It's ok, if you didn't make it past the group stage there were no more fights for you (you could have stayed and watched the playoffs though ).
Thank you for coming on such short notice and despite your NA pings.

Me and Arked were usually doing the recording, but he couldn't attend the tournament and recording would have required spectator mode, so I couldn't do it.


If anyone is willing to record the next tournament, I can give you the software you need and teach you how to use it.
