not exactly a tournament but we have the
Top Gun deathmatch on Tuesdays.
edit: and Marc is still our top gunner champ.
that's kind of a random date
tuesday?
is there an event on
fridays?
eh, the Coalition hunt but not sure how good that would work.....perhaps the ol' arena
floor race is best to be revived.....everyone loves races dont they?
too bad we
cant have the origonal arena floor back....so we'll have to do it in cube arena.
I mean a tournament, not a random event
we used to, but Grinder got too busy when he got promoted.
na, grinder had special job to do in the summer months. but now enough
time to organise the next tournaments.
edit: oh, just checked the battle and
events section - the CF tournament thread isnt there anymore
So Don, to answer your question directly, "No".
Having that event too early for
north americans makes it really just a BG vanity thingie...
Oh well enjoy it anyway
guys.
I'll make an unnofficial mini-tournament if
you create the rules O.o
Well Jib why dont u organise a tournament then?
cant
see a prob myself really ,you can have winners of each tournament fight each other.
so

nono Jib or
whoever, makes the rules, as I have no idea what CF is like right now.
You guys figure
out the best way to show skill (using batts and bots shows skill in my book) and I do the
organising.
As organiser, I'll obviously arrange the most exciting fights for the
very end of the tournament >_>
i can give u rules. what u want? gunfight, which show u how good a
player can aim and flight at the same time?or with every equip? and no, bats and bots on CF
shows no skill. the hull and shields are too strong for this. 1 fight will last more than 30
mins with bats and bots.

Actually Don, I believe you DO know what
CF is about right now.
Yesyes, I forgot, I know everything *g*
I didn't know if bots and bats would be
overpowered. If this was vanilla FL, then bots and batts would be needed.
I need,
eh rules that show the best skills in all areas
Ok, here rules:
===========
1.) Place: Arena. The 2 fighters
start at 2k distance.
2.) The referee makes sure that both fighers are rdy. Both fighters
type rdy when they are ready.
3.) The referee counts from 5 to 0 (=go) and the fighters
start to fight.
4.) All weapons are allowed, no bats, no bots.
5.) The 2 fighters
fight 3 rounds and till there are a difference of 2 wins. (3wins vs 1 win = we have a
winner, 3:2 - they have to fight till 4:2 or something else)
6.) Each fighter faces 2
opponents in the tournament. This means if he lost against 1, he has a second chance.
7.)
If a fighter lost 2 fights he is out of the tournament.

That's a double elimination kind of thing, which will
allow people to get lucky. Lucky in the way of lucky wins and lucky in the way of facing
opponents they know and can beat easily.
In vanilla FL, it is very much possible
for:
Albert to beat Bono
Bono to beat Chriss
and Chriss to beat Albert again.
So it's not possible to determine a real tournament winner by using any type of
elimination or brackets system.
I would suggest letting everyone fight everyone in a
swiss or round-robin type of tournament.
That way, nobody can get lucky and the real
skill will show!
Make it at least 3k distance.

Why?
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.
