Big Team Tournament Rules / Teams / Scores / Challenges

Post by Ripsn »

[align=center]Scores[/align]
[align=center]Team Murto: 0 ~ Team FlameWh33l: 0[/align]

[align=center]Teams[/align]
[align=center]Image[/align]

I would like all players to log in to the #OpenRA channel on the Freenode network (link provided) in order to organize matches and report game results.
[align=left]http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=openra[/align]

Thankyou to Murto and Flameh33l for being our team captains

[align=center]Matches[/align]
There are a few ways you can organize matches:
  1. The #OpenRA Channel will be your best chance. Everyone should be there, and you will get the best and most up to date invitations when YOU are ready to game.
  2. Meeting up inside the lobby chat is also encouraged, as this will bring more attention to the tournament game streams.
  3. Forum PM system, Who doesn't love an invitation to war sitting in their inbox?
[align=left]Battles[/align]
Standard, released or 'shipped' maps only. Strictly NO CUSTOM MAPS
Standard starting rules MUST be used.
This varies for RA, D2k and TD, but the most important rules are 5000 starting credits, crates off, and MCV only start (RA - D2k) / MCV and light units (TD/C&C).
ALL players in the battle MUST be in the tournament (no public) and MUST be in their ASSIGNED teams.
Watching streams being cast is prohibited while ingame. VERY STRICTLY.

[align=left]Results[/align]
The battle is not over / does not count UNTIL the game declares a winner.
All ingame tactics are valid.
If the game crashes or comes to a stop, please do not "call it a win" and report it.
All Replays MUST be uploaded and linked WITH the result of the match AND who played / what map. Either to your team captain or an official or in this thread.

[align=left]Scoring[/align]
Any information about scores will need to come to me before being posted here, either through the team captains / tournament officials or directly from players.
I will be updating the scores in the order that i receive them, disregarding spammy results and identical matchups.
They will be updated regularly in the lobby, on the forum, and in the #OpenRA channel

[align=left]Spectating[/align]
We prefer you watch the replay or stream instead of spectating in-game in order to ensure optimum performance. Here is how to do so:
  1. SoScared:
    this casting kingpin will have replays that will RIP YOUR FACE OFF.
    Follow the link, if you are man enough!
    https://www.youtube.com/user/SoScared101
    https://www.twitch.tv/soscared
  2. Hamb:
    www.hamb.tv
    This heavy hitter will be ducking and diving throughout the tournament to cast knockout
    matches whenever and wherever he sees fit.
  3. FiveAces:
    This colossal does it all
    He has taken on the mission of bringing the best games Direct to your eye holes
    https://www.youtube.com/user/CovertFlobert
[align=left]Disclaimer[/align]
I accept full responsibility for this tournament not working out.
I hope all players will actively work towards the end goal of this tournament being a success. This includes the EXTREME use of patience, tolerance and forgiveness.
If some results you have posted do not make it through, there will be a reason for this, feel free to inquire through the methods listed above.
Special thanks to Pchote you a bad mammajamma

[align=center]Extra stuff[/align]
both teams will have 1 week (7 days) to collect as many points for their respective teams as possible
Tournament will start: Monday 1st August at 12:00pm UTC
Tournament will end:Sunday 7th August at 12:00pm UTC

there will be NO minimum amount of tournament games that must be played.
nor will there be a match size limit / minimum.
players in the match must both / all agree that the match is a tournament round BEFORE the game is launched.
There must be NO players from OUTSIDE of the tournament playing in the match.
There must be NO players fromOUTSIDE of the tournament Spectating the match
Only Tournament officials and Official tournament Casters may spectate

Did Ripley choose the teams or the team captains?

By the way, I assume every win is +1 point for a team right?

But is there a minimum of games each player should play? Not saying it will happen, but known bad players dont get incited to really play as they will probably cripple the team as a whole with their games. And I may choose not to play against players that I know are good because that'll probably result in a loss...

Still like the rankingsystem... it would evaporate all these disadvantages. We could even not keep the ranking secret. Then it even adds to the tension:

A nr 1 vs nr 8 match! Big points at stake for team A! Nr2 vs nr1 this is a top game.

Calculating the points really isnt difficult at all. A kid can do the math so this will not take alot of time for the TDs. And the bad players dont have to feel bad for starting a game.

I think in that situation the worse player should team up with another player and make it a 2v2 instead of a 1v1; or even a 3v3.

Yeah I would have liked to see a draft, imo teams aren't balanced but I guess it all depends on who plays who and how many times they do. Anyway, GLHF everyone!

yes win = +1 point for the team.

if some idiot decides to agree to an uneven matchup without running it past the captains then it cant be helped.
but bare in mind i wont be allowing bogus / retarded matchups to spoil the score(as replays will be provided for all games.)

Teams were balanced and organized in consoltation with both team captains, and a satisfactory amount of anonymous players that are well involved in the community and player levels.
if you have any queries about this issue, you know where to find me. :D

I'll not be covering the BBT on my channel. FiveAces, hamb and AoAGeneral will cover the streams and post-coverage of replays will be posted at FiveAces' youtube channel.

AoAGeneral is on vacation until 10th of November. Hamb is stepping in to get the US/AUS/NZ streams going but it would be cool if hamb and AoA would do some duo casts on hambs channel (also good for continuity's sake).

Europen timezone: 19:00 to 22:00 UTC, hosted by FiveAces with me as co-host: https://www.youtube.com/user/CovertFlobert/

US/AUS/NZ timezone: 01:00 to 4:00 UTC, hosted by hamb and AoAGeneral: http://www.twitch.tv/h4mb, http://www.twitch.tv/shadowst78

Don't forget to follow/subscribe to be immediately notified when the streams begin!

Alright guys, thanks for joining us on our first day of the EU timeslot coverage!
We have played 7 official matches on stream, and right now the score is a decisive 6-1 for team FiveAces - but keep in mind that team captain Kyrylo is still recovering from an illness, and some of the strongest players on Team Kyrylo haven't even showed up yet!

We are hereby summoning all contestants to participate in our upcoming stream.
The team needs your support!

Replays can be downloaded here:

H4mb will be covering the US timeslots, be sure to check him out as well!

Light Support was enabled. Isn't that violation of the rules?

EDIT: FiveAces in the chat in the replay admitted that it was a practice game.
