Hi, I am (templar_alpha) and i want to sign up for (templar_omega)b,(templar_alpha)j and k (hopefully it happens)

I have a quite annoying request:
I'm going to be out of town for four days (23th morning - 26th evening GMT). Would it be possible to NOT have duels for me at that time? I'm in the shielder and FFA categories.

[Tristan]

Yes. I think first deadline will be until next Tuesday aka Tuesday to Tuesday.

[Ishar]

.211 kinda crashed my game entirely. Uncool.

[Tristan]

.212 saved it

I think tournament might start from tomorrow and a week forward... I'll try and get stuff done.

[Tristan]

I have one very important question:

Instead of doing elimination type tournament I could create a "magic" like tournament?

I don't know if you tried, but basicly the winner faces other winners while losers faces loosers. Next round people are again seeded etc.

This makes sure, that no one only gets one match, and it ranks people... Best of it is that Its all in a neat little program. Would you mind risking fighting more than one battle? I like it for the simple reason that some players might risk a very hard first round, and stil get a chance to fight in another. This is mostly in the larger categories... the smaller ones it doesn't matter.

Things this program takes into consideration:
a) How many rounds won/lost
b) How good your opponent was against whom you won/lost

and several other things...

What do you think? this or just straight elimination tournament.

[Ishar]

That would mean too many rounds I think. In an elimination tournament with 16 participants, one guy fights 4 matches at most. This should be an acceptable amount of organizing for everyone. You can get in contact with four people, work out a mutually beneficial date for the duel, etc. Doing this with potentially much more people would require more commitment from every player.
That could either lead to a lot of cancelled matches, or it could take forever.

[gazda]

well, i changed class, and would still like to participate, is it too late for changes?

[Tristan]

@Ishar: No, it would only mean four rounds for everyone. Not everyone would have to face each other. Its pretty smart. I decided to do it, and it won't be hard. Largest advantage is that losers will have a chance to fight against other losers . Its called a swiss type tournament:

@Gazda: yeah. I have been busy so haven't done anything yet. Please just post your changes here and I will fix it.

Fuuuck... cutter in the first match :<

[Tristan]

Remember all that it is Swiss type tournament... Meaning you will get to fight all four rounds.
You lose your first, get back in the game and win the next!!!

Does this mean that both me and cutter/apsod could potentially meet in the finals?

[Tristan]

No. You can never face the same opponent twice.

Basicly you will be awarded point on how many duels you won, how those you won and lost against fared in the tournament and how much you won against them. I have a program that takes all these things into consideration.

Round one is random matchup. Round two all winners will face each other losers will face each other etc. etc. for four rounds. In the smaller categories each will face each opponent once, but never more than four rounds!

Any ETA on the 1h+shield roster?
