European teams would be hard because it would be hard to satisfy both teams with ping/servers etc, though if they are willing to play on american servers then surely they could enter.

ha-ha, we are used with high ping!

a 2v2 tournament would take more than 2 hours, unless you had multiple match servers running with the specified configuration at the same time. This has worked in the past and was actually quite effective.

I love how Smokey thinks he is hot dogpoop because he can always do bad in matches. BTW Custom lost it for us getting grabbed on twice WHILE standing on the flag and being capped on another time.

I like how the biggest chirp anybody has in dp is about losing to a poor clan.

DaRkNeSS: I love how you rant about stuff when it clearly has nothing to do with the topic. You lost to smokey's clan. oh noes. we dont care and it has nothing to do with us planning this tournament.

Anyway, I talked to a server admin and he said they will donate a server to give the login to, and would dedicate match servers for it.

aside from the usual kids badmouthing every idea that anyone ever has, i think a series of 2v2 tournaments would be good, it would help the community get to know one another better, improve player skills, and get the community involved in irc and some sorta of organized play.

Indeed.

And if the goal is to build community then please consider a noob tournatment as well.

You could call them professional and recreation brackets and the person can determine where they fit best.

That way you can have players who have no chance of winning in the upper ranks still participating.

another idea would be randomly assigning teams

m7feettall · « **Reply #50 on:** November 01, 2006, 04:02:39 PM »

The problem with randomly assigning teams is that it handicaps some of the better players. They should have a chance to compete at their level, and a teammate who cannot do that is not going to be much fun. Especially if some of the other top players do wind up together.

A separate ladder for those who feel they are not at that level would allow for everyone to participate where they are comfortable.

The only problem I can forsee is that some of the better players might join the noob ladder...but I doubt that would happen.

m7feettall, playing against good teams is what makes u good

. And we wouldn't have enough players for 2 levels either.

I think he was saying it would be annoying for, say, an er33t member to get paired up with Joe Newbie who sits in a corner and lets the opposing team cap the flag repeatedly.

I like the idea but I wouldn't want to have to pay to play in it.

Ij members dont get to play anyway. Actually, you dont hack. But anyone who was formerly or currently on the gbl list will automatically be excluded.

i dislike cheaters/hackers just as much, but that isnt fair.

We'll take a vote that night, players can decide.
