Btw i was just about to start another K.O tournament, but this is also great. Will there be qualifications like the K.O or do we apply somewhere?

Yeah yeah i can't make 10 posts at the same time

tournament style is yet to be determined, depends on the number of participants

1. Which server the tournament is going to be played on?
Either you are going to leave the rs server set this way and stop cm activity,
or the tournament will go really slow (people get to persuade admins to play one round).

Proposed solution: Talk with fosters / crapper / bullet / nostrad&nemo
Each of them host a server. Sometimes even more then one.
Maybe one of them will agree to dedicate the server for the tour. in some time frames.

2. How long would it last? Do I have to agree to play every proposed match?
Or what happens if I can play (i'm online) only when my opp. can't?

Proposed solution: pre-agreement
Both of the players should decide 3 dates together and ahead when they might be able to play. If the match will be never played, the victory goes automatically to the player showed on those days.
But the match can be actually played any time, regardless the chosen dates.
The agreement works as a precaution.


3. How about player's lags / lags-out when "be as fair as possible" doesnt catch?
Server's lags?

Proposed solution; if the server got rebooted , went offline or whatever,
the map starts over and the players continue with the scores previously reached.

In case a player lagged out, it's legitimate the other one will just stop and wait, but the other player may not notice the fact, unless he scores. The solution might be a restart of the map and scoring the as many flags as had been made prior to the lag, or letting the other player scoring a flag either (if that wouldn't result in someones victory)


4. In case one of the servers will be dedicated especially for the task , results may be collected automatically and showed on the ladder site.

5. how many posts at the same time you can make?

1. we have one joust server atm, we're gonna get one more and till tournament starts one is gonna be with flames on and one off so people can experiment the difference before voting.

2. I dont think putting deadlines is a good idea since every tournament who has them postpones them all the time. You dont have to agree to a proposed match. you will have enough time to play.

3. What can we do about them? It's all about fairness if one shoots when the other has lagger sign and says that he didnt see, what can u do? :/ I will add something about it to the rules though.

4. Yes there will be, we can talk more on msn about automatic mambo jambo

5.

Absolutely every babo tournament without a deadline I have been witness to, has ended up as a floating topic on the forum with barely half required matches taken over.

Schooly server converted to Joust server.

- maxplayer 20 //Players that can be on the server
- maxplayeringame 2 //Players that can be on the field for the game
- onlyfriendsplay true //Only people on the friendlist can play on the server
- onlyprosplay true //Only people with pro-client can play on the server
- onlyproclient true //Only people with pro-client can connect to the server
- dedicate CTF-Joust //The only map in the rotation. Will restart with CTF-Joust if a crash occours
This is done to make it fair for everyone and to get as little interference as possible

Be sure to be on the friendlist and have proclient installed

.::friendlist::.
The servers are administrated by:
- .NbZ. Bullet
- .Uc. Real (UnReal as he's know by most ppl)
- Miss
- \v/ Devil
- Sasha
- \) Føsters
- Geronimo
There are temporary admins also. They are:
- .wS. Baboow
- :0: Drakoola
- |:I:| Anette
So contact one of the above if you can't enter the server.

Get a proclient that works here: http://prozac.warlabs.ru/en.html
It's a .zip file so no need to install. Just download, unpack and execute bv2p.
Curtesy of:
ketamine (Ladder ID 13009).
paddington'у (Ladder ID 6803).

//For the admins of the server\\
Login as admin, opne console and type one of the following commands:
- execute config - Makes the server the Joust server
- execute config_o - Makes the server the Schooly server.
Server will still restart as Joust until the end of the tournament

Dunno, but seems like it only happens in your posts. Hum well I "edited" your last two and they come out ok... Maybe BBCode is disabled?

Anyway serious question. How much does the winner win?

Glory, fame, honour, prestige .. I could go on but i think u got the picture, nothing

maybe each person who registers for the tournament sends 1 euro or smth to someone paypal account then winner receives all prizefund would be nice but doubt it would happen

If there will be 32 players maybe we can have groups like the world cup

That's what i'm planning

well, then i will leave the joust tournament if that will happen.
i am not that rich

Rules and settings updated, have a look!

Groups A and H - groups of death

nice settings one question but like football will player who qualifys 1st be drawn against another player who finished 2nd in another group ofc, if you understand what i mean

lol nice picture

Played a match with Fly and I noticed smth that is worse than use of flame IMO. Stalling. For example when a player is in advantage he can go next to his flagpost and wait for the opponent to attack, putting him in disadvantage. This is ok, or at least natural to do but in some situations. These are the following: when both have flag, not that uncommon in joust and when the attacking babo is low in life and has a less flags scored. The babo with more flags can wait for the opponent, with lesser life to attack all match and still win because he isn't forced to make a move. Even if he has lower hp or the same hp as the one in need to attack he still has advantage and he can duck and wait for the match to finish. I think that in order to eliminate this "bug", in previouses SOS tournaments it was used, a "no stalling" rule might be applied or at least a limit of dunno what seconds for it should be enforced. Just a thought, cause as I said it is more annoying than flames.
Hope I've been coherent enough, though I'm pretty tired and didn't think on it that much.

stalling - non combat - w/e ( don't know ATM how do you call when you don't fight )

Uhm not sure what u mean but u really can't do stuff like that.

Winning player can play safe and that forces the losing one to take more risks.

If flags are exchanged like in your example just go to his side of the map then start shooting, if u win the 1vs1, its a score!

cheers

Game Rules
- In order to avoid defense/fleeing abuse and to force both players to take risks, there is no time limit. Otherwise the first one getting a little advantage could just flee and avoid enemy shots waiting for the end, which is not really fair and kills the fun.

From Skillzors of Sniper game rules. But nvm, I know the cure for it, if nothing is done to avoid this.

Haha, no it's not you Fly that is worse than flames It's my lack of skill... Argh...

Alright after checking with varlan we found some possible abusements.

Added a new rule about it (first one of the Moral Rules)
