Hi,
Well as McBain has let me do some of the organising for the #4 Tournament, we agreed together to run 2 tournaments. One will be a knockout based 3 vs 3 the other a 5 vs 5 league. I think McBain will be sorting the league based one, so in this post I will detail the 3 vs 3 knockout.
Basically we are going to be doing a 3 vs 3 MR6 dual elimination brackets system. This means that there will be 3 people per team, and 6 rounds per side (you play both CT and T) to a possible of 12 rounds.
In the tournament you have 2 lives, and 2 brackets representing them - the winners bracket, and the losers bracket. Everyone starts in the winners bracket, if you lose a game you get put into the losers bracket and lose one of your lives. If you lose again in the losers bracket you are out of the tournament.
Its quite an effective system. The only downfall is that the "king" losing team that wins all their losing bracket games, faces the winning team in the final. The winning team only has to win once as they have both lives, but the losers have to win twice.
As for deciding on the brackets, we could either seed clans or randomly draw them out of a hat. Judging by McBain's figures there will be about 8 3 vs 3 groups, which should make a good tournament. All games will be played on the saturday until the final 2 teams remain from the winner and loser brackets. Then this game will take place on the sunday as a grand final
Maps that are to be used are in order:
Winner bracket
de_dust2
de_inferno
de_nuke
de_aztec (final map)
Loser bracket
de_cbble
de_prodigy
de_train
de_dust
de_aztec (final map)
For the techies and interested peeps among you, here are the server settings:
mp_maxrounds 6
mp_fadetoblack 1
mp_friendlyfire 1
mp_timelimit 0
mp_roundtime 3
mp_forcechasecam 2
mp_limitteams 0
mp_tkpunish 0
mp_autoteambalance 0
If this all confuses you don't worry, it will all be drawn up on a whiteboard at the event - just remember you have 2 lives
I will let McBain explain the league setup
