With phoenix

project cannons you will have instant aim when you engage your thrusters facing an enemy at

2k. 3k is a better distance for this.

There are still a lot of players using them, so you will

need to take them into account. Not everyone is using a vanilla eagle with a tiz,

cannonball, nomad blasters and diamondbacks.

You can mix 2 tournament types to make one.

First you hold a

group-tournament. Groups consist of 4 or 5 fighters are formed, each will fight to each

other in that group. Best of 3, all 3 battles needs to be fought. The winner gets 1 point

for winning an engagement, and the battlescore (3-0, 2-1) is also recorded.

After the

group-phase the best nr 1 and 2 of every group will be picked. First decider is the points,

secondly the won battles. If that is still the same for nr 2 and 3, the person who won the

engagement between nr 2 and 3 in the groupphase will go through to the next round.

In

the next round there will be an two-strikes-out tournament. In the eightsfinal the nr's 1

will fight with the nr's 2 of the different groups (nr 1 of group 1 will face nr 2 of group

2, nr 1 of group 2 will face nr 2 of group 3, nr 1 of group 3 will face nr 2 of group 4, nr

1 of group 4 will face nr 2 of group 1). Again a best of 3. The 4 winners will fight each

other again in the quaterfinal, also best of 3 till we reach the semi final 1. There will be

a best of 5 between the 2 fighters who placed directly.
On the same time there will be a

second group - the fighters who lost the battles after the group-phase - who will give the

second finalist. Fighters who lost the eightsfinal will fight each other to give 2 winners,

who will face the 2 fighters who lost the quaterfinals (best of 3). The 2 who survives that

will face each other to give the winner of the second-strike-group (best of 5). That fighter

will play in the second semi-final against the fighter who lost the first semi-final (best

of 5), and the winner will face the direct-placed fighter in the final, best of 7.

So basically, one guy may never get to fight another guy in this

tournament?

Yes, nr 3 and 4 of each group will be

eliminated. You can however organize some kind of last place battle.
If you have 12

players, everyone should fight each other, you will need 132 battles if I am not mistaken.

Given the time a battle (best of 3) takes (5 minutes average), you are looking at a total of

660 minutes. You can't supervise more than 4 battles at a given time, which means the

tournament will take at least 2 hrs and 3 quaters.

Nobody ever said a tournament must be finished in

one day

Jib · Sep 9th 2005

Seems to me what we got is a situation simular to Tennis. How

they solve the tournement problem (so everyone doesnt have to fight everyone else) is to use

the "Seeding" system of rating players, allowing standard "pyramid" style elimination

rounds. And what the seeds do is to match higher-level players with lesser ones.... so the

semi-finals and final matchs are usually the 4 or 2 best ppl (so the two top "seeds" dont

have their fight in some earlier preliminary round).

But that would require some

preliminary fights to determine "seeds", but at least they dont have to be on the same day

(and could happen at different times .
