Title: 3v3 Tournament day?
Post by: Keyvias on June 10, 2013, 04:49:20 pm
Skrimskraw will be creating a 3v3 tournament.  He wants to know which day you'd rather it fall and how you want to battle.
Feel free to debate your reasoning below in a gentlemanly or ladylike fashion.
You have two votes for the above poll.  Please use them to vote for events you WOULD sign up for.  Gather your clan, groups, and friends to vote as well.

Woohoo a 3 v 3 tourney! I think this is an awesome Idea BUT lets not play raid on the refinery. The spawns in that map are completely stacked for red team.

As for the whole CP v DM I think there should be a format where at least one of each is played by the teams fighting eachother. Just my initial reactions, and skrim good luck organizing. :D

Looking forward to it.  :)

Personally I'd prefer death match, just seems like the better format for competitive play.

Am I the only one who wants both CP and DM...?

I also want to see both. Some of the most intense matches I've had have been KotH.

I'm with DMax and Zill.
I play very differently between DM and CP but I like them both. It's just a tactical change. CPs are actually more intense, because of the time-constraints (sorta).

As for the day, I'm all for weekends proper.

Please think of our Pacific cousins, for whom Sunday night would be Monday morning, and vote Friday

I can't guarantee Friday myself as I run Ops with guild that night. But Sunday at the same time the Sky Tourney was or a little later is doable.

This thread will run for some time so get all your teammates to vote for what would be best for your team.

also a lot of you teams can only produce a 2v2 team, but I urge you to vote anyway, sine a lot of teams might team up with eachother to participate.

I will begin planning when E3 is over and Muse has returned to us. (already got prizes involved, just need to make the deal etc.)

I have a question: will we have CP matches for sure, or will they be cancelled because of voting results?
And if we play CP, will we make our loadout before choosing the map, or after it?

'murica: As long as it's not on the 4th proper, the worst thing should be hangovers.

NAF will deploy a mercenary team for a clan if requested as we cannot field a 3v3 team ourselves, so pm me if your clan would like support.

alright,  a bit of information.

this tournament might be dm exclusive, its the first 3v3 so I want to do what people want most.
If the tourney is a success, i definately want to do a cp tourney.

there will be no pre match loadout, You are all adults and will be forced ingame if you do not ready up ;)

There will be a recruitment thread for shuffle / mercenary teams. I know my own team will make use of this since I cannot attend and mattilald also will be helping me do this.

at the moment I am thinking of setting a team limit to 8 teams total, that being 8*12 players = 96 players. which would probaly exhaust the competitive player base we have.
a tournament of 6-8 teams could be done in 1 day. - i want to avoid spreading this tournament out on diffrent dates, since its a big commitment foreverybody, who will also be playing cogs etc. to use both saturday and friday/sunday for 2-4 weeks time.
--

A special rule will be introduced when the sign up starts, which is scheduled for a deadline by end of next week.
The reason being that lord dick tim is working on something that will be used as a background story for the tournament. I also need to have a prize deal with muse made, we only talked about what could be done, but never found an agreeement yet because of them beeing at e3.

hope that clarified some of the questions you might have had.

I respectfully request that everyone who is undecided vote for a Friday DM. If it isn't on Friday EST, myself and those in my timezone probably won't be able to participate.
