2on2 minsta CTF tournament

EDIT 25/11: Since the teams are complete we decided to make the grouping now instead of the 30th (thanks to Phantomas and J0ker for collaborating) so the teams have more time before hand to plan it. The matches will start the 1st of December. Here are the brackets: https://i.imgur.com/95fED.jpg

-----------------------------
Hi Elements, as you may know already the idea has been around for a while, but now we decided to launch it officially.

The initial player limit is 12 (6 teams). In our opinion, the lower the player count is, the more likely is for the tournament to succeed. But, if the demand is big enough we can widen the number to a max of 16 players (8 teams). The final grouping won't be done by me, but rather by 2 innocent hands. I will not use challonge since it doesn't allow me to use the chosen system for this tournament.

RULES

Tourney system and teams

6 teams divided in 2 groups, each team has 2 players (12 players total).

In each group every team will play against the other teams of its group.

Every won map = 1 point. One team can lose 2:1 (3 maps) but the won map still counts for the overall count. If the total count results in a draw the result will be decided by the total amount of caps of each team.

Once the teams have played against each other within their groups, the two teams with most points of both groups will pass to the next round to play against one of the teams of the opposite group (semi finals). The winners of the semifinals will pass to the final round.

If the number of players exceeds our expectations we can organise a tourney for 8 teams (16 players), with the same round disposition and rules (with the exception of having 4 teams per group in the first round instead of 3).

Matches

Best of 3. Each team will choose one map, in case a 3rd map is needed both teams can agree on one or use cointoss. No timelimit.

Screenshots of the results of every match are obligatory. The recording of demos is encouraged. The screens must be given to me or jizzy (through IRC, or via email to dodgingbulletsclan (at) gmail (dot) com).

Server

Preferably Moonshine, Nightflight can also be used.

Date of the tournament

The sign up time ends the 30th Friday at 21:00h. The groups and brackets will be public the 1st of December and the tournament will start the same day, we aim for some matches to be played the same day.

The date of the matches must be agreed by both teams, in case it doesn't go as fast as needed I will try to contact the teams to facilitate an agreement.

Vega

I'd like to play in the tournament, but I dont have a partner yet.
So, someone want play with me?

I want to be with Stephan in

Freak

I knew about this already, but jngm, why are me and Freeze not in the list? We told you we wanted to team up

Asgar wrote:I knew about this already, but jngm, why are me and Freeze not in the list? We told you we wanted to team up

I wasn't sure if it was confirmed, now you both are in

So, now we are good to go, 6 teams. I've been considering this and 8 teams is a bit too much, not because of the number of players but by the number of matches required for the first round which would be 12 (plus 3 more for the semifinals and final).. that's more than the first 4on4 round of the old dtg tourney with 64 players. Some proposed a double elimination system instead of the current system but that would save us only 1 match in total. And since the start we wanted to give more than one chance for each team so they don't get disqualified with just one match.

Albeit not a big tourney if this one goes well then we could start to consider a bigger one. For the time being we'll stick with 6 teams.

Good luck to all the participants

I saw the match between DDT and DBC being played, but was not there at the end. What's the outcome?

The results are listed in the first post.

By the way, could you ask Freeze and tell me in which dates you both can play? that way I can try to arrange something with Bernard and Arte (Freak and Stephan can answer here).

15.12 20:00 PM if this is ok with freeze and stephan

Anything happened yet? Because its again taking long for a winner :/

Vega

Way to go. I knew this tournament would also take a while. I didn't see freeze in a few days now.

Me neither ah well i hope this one gets finished

Vega

Well, after chem and others announced they weren't going to play in Christmas there was no other choice but to wait.

Now that everyone seems to be coming back: what days fit you guys better for the next match? (the Asgar/Freeze vs Stephan/Freakinger one).

I'm afraid that freak's pc is still broken at least thats what he told me yesterday

Vega

Maybe someone can play for him?

Maybe but he needs to want that

Vega

replace me.
i was in a bad shape when i left and wont be much better when i come back:-D
freak

Ok then :p stephan can choose somebody then

Vega

Stephan, have you found a replacement? if you haven't found one yet I'll try to search you one.
