Just a quick question, how many people have paypal (confirmed and verified and all that jazz)?

We were thinking about setting up a 2v2 tournament with a $1 or $2 entry fee, but only if there are enough people to make it worth while (like 5-10 teams.)

I know the question of trust comes up, and I know alot of you probally wont trust me holding money. Because of this we would use a middle man, if he wouldn't mind than probally jitspoe, and if not than another community elder (knack, sad, calrathan?)

If not playing for money than maybe someone would be willing to donate a server.

The winning team of the 2v2 gets login for a week to the server and can choose the maplist and stuff like that.

FourthX used to host 1v1 and 2v2 tournaments all the time, and they were a ton of fun, it would be cool if we could get them going again.

i remember the 1v1 and 2v2 tourneys eR33t would host back in the day, just one night all night play. it was a lot of fun. Even the pickups that we would play were fun back then. Giving a login for a server for like a week would be a cool thing, have a weekly 1v1 or 2v2 tourney and give out like 50ops (lvl 1 on ch1ll servers) to the winning team.

I have paypal, but I agree with DT's statements about maps.

Unless, of course, the map is Oddjob, then all 1v1 and 2v2's are great

pgp is a good 1v1 map, and i wouldnt go so far as to say all the maps 'suck' but rather call them very trite and overplayed

What a waste of time, who wants to have login and control a maplist to a server for a week? More of a hassle than anything.

Have you ever participated in an event like this? I remember back when fourthx hosted them they were a ton of fun, half of it is finding a good partner. A waste of time for the login? It takes 5 minutes to change a login and setup a new maplist. Every saturday there would be a new tournament to determine who gets the login.

And while your statement is partially correct dirtytaco, I can think of a few good 2v2/1v1 maps that would be fun, splatMesa, clubpb, strap, shazam (normal one.)

I wouldn't pay. Sounds like a great idea. I don't see why money would go to tommy v unless he is putting in large amounts of work.

I mean that you send me or a middle man the money to enter. After the tournament I send the money to the winners.

eh...it wouldn't matter, no point in even giving up your money to those professionals in Ij over there.

JOE · « **Reply #14 on:** October 30, 2006, 06:48:25 PM »

if money were involved, its obvious that a team composted of like bob/dt/y2j/blitz would come in and take it. so why bother with $$

Are you kidding me? With those pros like bix, moe_lester, and gold_leader around? You can't be serious.

Bix · « **Reply #17 on:** October 30, 2006, 07:10:56 PM »

nah, I think dt,blitz,bob,y2j would get raped by jman munchies and skater. i bet dt would change teams after every round lmao.

LO!L!11!! Good comeback bix, extremely clever, and extraordinarily original. Good one, and the added "lmao" at the end proves that laughing at your own jokes is cool. Newbie.
