Online Tournament!!!

Published on January 2, 2009 By -Ue_Carbon In Sins of a Solar Empire

I would first like to say, I was not sure of the proper place to post so I made many. Im sorry ahead of time Moderators and such. If you would be so kind as to place this in the proper spot if not place.

I hear by, would like to welcome anyone and everyone to the first ever -Ue_ (Unified Explorers Corporation) Tourny.

Here are the current rules and set up:

- All players must send in In game name you plan to use during this tourny. The race you plan to play will also be needed. And also state the divisions you plan to enter. (see the different divsions below.)

-The tourny will take place in SINS 1.12.

-The competition will be played it 3 different divisions. RandomTeam3vs3(Your team mates are chosen at random), 1v1, and Organized2vs2(You choose your team mate).

-Current map rotation for each division is as followed:

1vs1: Derelict, Face Off, Quickstrike

2vs2: Doppleganger, Counter Spin, Temptest

3vs3: Gateway, Razor's Edge, Foreign Invasion

-All competitors for each divison will be placed in a Round Robin. All competitors will be placed inside their bracket by random.

-There will be no set time for game play. You will have a deadline TBA according to size of divison and bracket. All players must contact their opposition to set specific game time.

-The winner will be required to submit a replay of the match. I will watch every game to vaidate the winner.

-The rules are subject to change according to unknown problems that might arise. Please stay tune for updates.

Current Line-up:

1vs1: Ekkotek(Advent),ToroRosso1(TEC),Rain(Varsari)

2vs2: Loganx(TEC)/Ornar Daal(Vasari), [LDP] Shane1022(Advent)/[LDP] Worldawg(??)

3vs3: US Navy(Advent), CarlitX(TEC), meyst(TEC), Ekkotek(Varsari), Crusader_Antonius (Varsari), Duke Greg(Varsari),ToroRosso1(TEC), Rain(Varsari)

NOTE: Sign Ups are closed. Also the rules have been changed. This is now a Round Robin style Tourny, to compensate for the odd number of sign ups.

I WILL BE MAKING A POST, SHOWING THE CURRENT GAMES. IT IS YOUR JOB AND YOUR JOB ALONE TO GET TOGETHER WITH YOUR TEAM/PARTERS FOR A SPECIFIC GAME TIME!!!!! IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO MEET THE DEADLINE, LET ME KNOW. THIS IS MENT TO BE FLEXIABLE.

Meyst and I were on for about a half hour, then we got bored and found another game. Maybe we can try again tomorrow or something.

did anyone even play any of their games?

I don't think so. This 3v3 is hard enough to get under way b/c nobody reads the god damned fourms enough.

I read the forums but failed to see this one until now. I didnt even know about it , i didnt sign up. You can try to organize it again but making a sticky subject in forums for advertising and with help of another website for tourney brackets logistics.

Well, I cant sticky it myself. A mod would of had too. I did alot of promoting online too and with very little return. As You can see the deadlines has passed for the rounds and not 1 finished a game. I just dont think there is enough willing to participate for me to support a huge amount of time. This tournament was a test. And it failed.

the thing with 3v3 and even 2v2 is that you have lots of people trying to coordinate with each other to find a time that is agree-able. When most of those people are in different time zones, it makes it even harder.

Your best bet, IMHO, is to go with a 1v1 only, set up a double elimination type bracket, set deadlines for each map and have all correspondance for setting up game times for each match be on 1 thread. That way you can track who actually tried to make the match. If both parties tried but could not get together before the deadline, then allow for 1 extension, etc, etc... If one person posted and tried to set up time and day, but the other didn't repsond, then an automatic loss for the 1 who didn't do any posting.

This is probably the only way this could be run effectively and work.

I agree with the Spydyr - I made an effort to contact my opponent, went online multiple times to try to meet up, but no success. Plus not enough were interested to start with - if there is a next time, try to PM a mod and see if they will sticky it to start with...thanks for trying though man! Lately I've been playing the DOW2 beta rather than SOASE but I will come back to this before too long.

I've posted threads about the prospects for setting up a 2v2 or 3v3 ladder but few people ever seemed interested. Such a ladder could indeed be managed manually at a private forum website (at least until the ladder had about 20 teams at which time it could be moved to Clanbase.com or TeamWarfare.com.)
