Looks good and it promises to be a cool tournament!

As for map nr 10: you can always take the highest ended 1v1 RA map.

Don't want to lose sight of this. Can this be pinned and the other topic locked?

noobmapmaker · Post by **noobmapmaker** » Wed Jun 29, 2016 6:55 am

At what time will the casting start? 10am or a bit earlier?

Hecthor Doomhammer · Post by **Hecthor Doomhammer** » Wed Jun 29, 2016 10:22 am

We'll most likely start a little earlier to get every one and everything ready.
At most 30 minutes earlier

Hecthor Doomhammer · Post by **Hecthor Doomhammer** » Fri Jul 01, 2016 1:28 pm

I have sent all the players a PM on these forums regarding their own match's password for the first round

With Day 1 of my OpenRA Red Alert Tournament being such a huge success, I am excited for tomorrow, July 3rd, for Day 2.
We will be starting the same time as today, at 10:00 AM GMT which is at the end of this countdown

We've got a total of 6 match ups ready for tomorrow: The last 4 Matches of Round 1 and the last 2 matches of the Quarter Finals, so this will be another long stream, hopefully going as smooth as today.
As always, the place where you can watch the tournament is [/url= http://ww.twitch.tv/pauljongejans]my channel on Twitch[/url] and I will once again be joined by FiveAces, SoScaredfor casting and Jazz_KCS for the technical support.
Hope to see you all then!

Okay so I get forfeited because the tourny host can't figure out the fucking times.

Wonder who else got forfeited in this tourny because of this kind of shit.

1200AM GMT is 7 PM US CENTRAL.

Again you didn't communicate back to me, so you could have actually told me on time that I did something wrong. but you didn't

weeman · Post by **weeman** » Sun Jul 03, 2016 2:20 pm

You never asked for a reply. Even so, I would reply saying "OK" and nothing more. Would that resolve the fact that you purposely misled a tournament participant? Oh well last time I sign up for this crooked tournament type. Out of all the tourny's I have participated in on openRA yours is byfar the most complicated by the string of instructions I have flooding my inbox with multiple start dates/times/timers/ what have you.

Hecthor Doomhammer · Post by **Hecthor Doomhammer** » Sun Jul 03, 2016 2:23 pm

Hey Weeman,

Here's the link to the bracket: http://challonge.com/DoomyRAConcept1

your first match is scheduled Sunday July 3rd @ 12:00 GMT
Countdown / timezones: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/f ... 0160703T12

Since I don't expect that matches take 1 hour each to play, I expect you to be present the entire Sunday, starting at 10:00 GMT

If you advance, you will be scheduled for another match on July 3rd at est 15:00 GMT

I also want to talk about the players for a bit, so I'd like to know from which country you are and when you started playing OpenRA competitively.

Remember 1 thing: if you don't show up on time, you're out of the tournament, no matter which round it is.

Link to the discussion topic: http://www.sleipnirstuff.com/forum/view ... 748#296748

Hope to see you then!

Bolded part was me asking for a reply.

Tho I will admit to my mistake on the 2nd PM, but still... no replay from you meant that I thought you'd understand

enough about this, we both made mistakes.
but this is my first time organizing a tourney, so mistakes can be expected from both sides.
let's move on

weeman · Post by **weeman** » Sun Jul 03, 2016 2:25 pm

Yea that was the first message. Followed by three more over the course of a week. yeah good luck with your tournament. Amateur hour shit over here.

Hecthor Doomhammer · Post by **Hecthor Doomhammer** » Mon Jul 04, 2016 10:48 pm

Just a heads up:

after having such shorter sessions in the first weekend , and after some talks with SoScared I am changing the plan:

We're finishing the entire tournament on Saturday!

I'll send the details in PM's later this week
