That's right: Freedom. Of choice. That's what cRPG is supposedly all about. Play the way you like with no restrictions.

When & Where ? Format of the Tourney ?

(click to show/hide)

Sunday 23.06.2013 (If too many teams apply it will be both Saturday & Sunday afternoon/evening)

Time: 19.00 CET (GMT+2), putting it 1 hour earlier then before since we're gonna have 2 groups + knockout, every team will have 3 fights at least

Depending of the number of teams singed up it will be either Knockout from the Start (FA CUP format) or Groups First and then Knockout (Champions League format). Groups and/or Brackets will be announced shortly before the start, the point is for it to be a secret so none knows who they will be fighting against.

Best out of 5 rounds wins a match. We wanna keep it short & bloody.

Server: HRE/Fallen
When it comes to NA teams I'd rather make this EU only cause their ping is a liability, I remember that Cav Tourney, some of them were getting DC all the time but they still won as our lances went through them as if they weren't there. I don't like that randomness with hitting and disconnecting and I presume they have big enough base of players to make their own Tourneys. This is not final though, we're still thinking about it. I'll not even mention Chinese with their 400 ping and Crocodile Frank as I don't think he can find 5 Aussies to play with him.
password: will be sent to team captains shortly before the start

Map is Teutten's Tourney Arena:

Rules & Requirements:

(click to show/hide)

None it terms of clans, nationalities, classes, gear. Play as you like, field whatever you like. Gather a team of 5 men + 2 substitutions (in case someone doesn't show up, crashes, etc), sign-up and show up some common sense. Overseers of the Tourney will be the ones typing and calling out teams that singed to fight. Others are in spectator mod.

How do I sign-up my team ?

Would be interesting if none knows about your own team except you but If you want to announce it all over the forum that you signed up and break the element of surprise there is nothing we can do about it. Also: you're not representing any clans so even if 5 + 2 Mercs sign up as a team they should think of some unfamiliar name rather then use their clan which they don't really represent at this event. Sign-up with exact names of the characters you're gonna use, overseers will check it out before the fight. 5 men is a minimum, if someone drops out you either surrender or play without him but you can QQ as you didn't bring in any subs.

To spice things up there will be some prize money: entry fee is 50k gold per team (not a lot even for shitty mud-rolling peasant beggars like Apsod), all that gold plus (possibly) some more goes to the winner.
When a team sign's up via PM Tuetten will put some offers on Marketplace and send a PM back to the captains to buy their "ticket". All gold will be guarded by Teutten and after the tournament he will give it to the winner's captain.

Sign-up deadline is Friday 21st of June 2013 AD.

There is a good chance for winners team to get a "special" prize in a form of their own "(shield)maiden":

Seems like this is an event.
PRetty interesting one, on top of that. As usual, will there be spectators allowed ? Will you need a security team ?

[Panos]

Panos reporting for referee duties!!!

I discussed this with Teutten, my initial idea was that anyone who's not playing = doesn't spawn at all but he says spawned people don't influence things that much so I recon they can spawn and take their place in the stands. I'm guessing that rule-breakers will be warned and then removed when necessary.

Time to smuggle in a dagger and take revenge on some spectating 2h Kuyak heroes 

[Algarn]

Any prices for 2nd or 3rd ? a thing like 200 k or 125 k ? 

[Latvian]

i am available for hiring (superior 2h cavalry) or just gonna join some random team

Was my initial idea but we decided that its better to play on a greed card and make it all for the winner. It means little at this late stage of the mod to receive a comforting prize of those few k gold but it may mean a lot if the prize money is decent and goes to one team only. People are still greedy when it comes to substantial amount of gold for the taking.

Thanks you Gnjus!

I'm looking for some people to play with pm me if you need an archer.

Gnjus could you put a spolier with a list of people who want to play but don't have a team? That way if there is 5 players or so they could make a team.

This tourney was designed with thoughts about state of this mod for some time now (and for some time now): pretty much everyone still plays from time to time, whether its being in a clan to get the beloved x5 or just roaming freely around but most of people play with those few companions on TS, whether its old clanmates, real life friends or anything, even withing clans I've noticed separation between veterans and newmy old friends on TS channels. Mostly you play with those few mates when it suits you and you don't care about others so this format should suit folks the best. Listing teamless people wasn't a part of my plans but If there's too many of them around and interested in this event I'll gladly list them in the next few days.

P.S. i didn't pay any thoughts about archers who don't have friends even in a game. 

[Riddaren]

That's a really nice prize. I will definately participate.

[Latvian]

how about you make some thread and link it to this thread for people without team (friends) so they can group up and take part?

[Gnjus]

Remember folks: you don't get to QQ in the end after you've lost a match, you fielded a team of your own preference and after initial rounds you can always modify your outfits. None will listen to crying of the dead.
