One-Weekend 1 on 1 Tournament

[Superjazz]

EDITED: On 9/12 I'm planning to hold a One-Evening 1 on 1 Tournament.
Sign-ups have been closed.

Basic information:

<li>Friday and Saturday are for prequalification and qualification stages. Friday, prequalification is done only if there is a really large amount of players.</li>
<li>Sunday is for Single-elimination, beginning from quarter-finals</li>
<li>Once the sign-ups are closed, the participants are allowed to nominate and vote for maps to be played in the tournament themselves. Further information about this later.</li>
<li>Round wins are counted in the first place. In every match, both players pick a map from the mappool for the two rounds to be played. The opponent cannot affect to another player's choice.</li>
<li>Ties are possible on groupstages(round wins for players are 0-0 or 1-1), but for the elimination-stage there is a tiebreaker round played if needed. The elimination-stage comes with a limited mappool of 3.</li>
<li>Rounds are played till 5 points or 15 minutes, whichever comes first. If the score is still tied after the time-limit, the round ends and it counts as a 0 for both players. The usual sudden-death mode is used only in elimination-stage tiebreakers.</li>
<li>All other specific information, deadlines for matches, mappool, groups, qualifying, etc. I will announce in this thread once it is needed.</li>

I'd like to play, but I have an exam Saturday morning, and I'm unsure of if I will have access to an internet connection in any case :\ Good luck!

[Quickz]

yeah, I'm willing to spend my whole weekend at A GREAT rabbitgame..... not..

Edit: better? -_-'

[Superjazz]

Most likely you would have to spend only Saturday and Sunday Evening. This might become a One-Day Tournament possibly too, instead of One-Weekend. We shall see. As well, the players themselves get to create the mappool this time.

[Stijn]

yeah, I'm willing to spend my whole weekend at some stupid rabbitgame..... not..

lol yeah who would even organize tournaments for some bunny game

[Quickz]

lol yeah who would even organize tournaments for some bunny game

Blablabla..

[Grytolle]

Blablabla..He did have a point, though.

[Quickz]

He did have a point, though.

Nah, he didn't ;P .. two whole different things. But I should've known you would post some lame reaction, predictable ;D

[cooba]

yeah, I'm willing to spend my whole weekend at some stupid rabbitgame..... not..Too bad you already spent like two years at it

[Stijn]

Let's respect the players of this stupid rabbit game and stay on topic!

[[GpW]Urbs]

(-), dont have enough time:(

gl hf all, and gj viv

[[GpW]Urbs]

the mighty vegito will of course triumph...

[Vegito]

I haven't got enough time rofl. I'll be away entire friday and the entire saturday basically.
Sunday, bleh, its my only free day in the week so I'd rather not waste my time playing JJ2 all day then D=

[Superjazz]

Sign-ups have been closed, since this tournament managed to grab the minimum amount of participaters exactly, which is 8. Caused by that, I devolve this into a One-Evening Tournament practically.

EDIT: Ok, so the next act is to create a mappool for the tournament. Attention all participaters, each of you are allowed to name one map you would like to see to be played in the tournament. That means there would be 8 nominations. Once I have got all of them, there will be a poll following, that only the players are allowed to vote too. There you have to read the instructions carefully before voting.

Now, the players who signed up, can post/edit their own reply to nominate a map. Note that the nomination must be a reasonable one, and nominations that have an average worth below 7.0 aren't accepted. As well, since this is a CTF-tournament, only CTF-levels are accepted.

P.S. Brackets are available fairly soon.

Nominations so far:

<li>Bleached Diamondus - R3ptile
<li>BloodBunny's Lair - St.louis
<li>Distopia - Warrior
<li>Galactic Warfare - Robee
<li>Happy Semiconductor CTF - FawFul
<li>Jungle's Edge - Anubis
<li>Space Island Level With Islands - Sperry

[Vegito]

This will be an easy win for R3p tbh =\

[Superjazz]

This will be an easy win for R3p tbh =\

You mean I should cancel it because he seems to have an advantage over others?

Anyway, this group is imo a really even one. You cannot know there will be no surprises for sure. Now the other players get a chance to reach Finals, since you and I are out. I would only be disappointed to this, if more than 1 match was forfeited.

Now, here you go with your brackets that have just been randomed a moment ago. Players in the same brackets face each other at the opening-rounds.

Bracket 1: St.Louis - Anubis
Bracket 2: Sperry - Robee
Bracket 3: R3ptile - Ana
Bracket 4: Warrior - FawFul

The winners of Brackets 1 & 2 face each other at the semi-finals.
The winners of Brackets 3 & 4 face each other at the semi-finals.
The losers of semi-finals face each other at the bronze-final.
The winners of semi-finals face each other at the Grand Final.

I suggest you to play all your games on Sunday, but if you feel like playing your first matches earlier, you can feel free to do so. HOWEVER, do not play any round before the final binding mappool is released(which should be on Friday.) All these deadlines below are for the Sunday 16/9.

The deadline for submitting the opening-rounds is 18 GMT.
The deadline for submitting the semi-finals is 19 GMT.
The deadline for bronze and Grand Final is 21 GMT.

[Raven aka StL]

Let's not count our chickens before they hatch.

[Quickz]

After all the rubbish earlier, I have to say Superjazz is doing a good job. Too bad not many people have signed up, unfortunately.

I think most players just rather play games for fun at random times, instead of a tournament with deadlines etc.

[Quickz]

This will be an easy win for R3p tbh =\

Oh well, see it as the Olympics:

It's not about winning, but about keeping the game alive and having fun ;P


Edit: wow, it's a wonder, two posts in a row.. I guess this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Stijn ;P

[Stijn]

I guess this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Stijn ;P

?<!-- ? -->

[Vegito]

<s>L0LZ STIJN SPAMS</s>

Lol.
Yeah, true, good points =P wonder what will happen. Someone else will make it to the finals now :-) Wonder who. I give R3p and either St_louis or Sperry a chance =o

[R3ptile]

Bleached Diamondus :D

[Grytolle]

I think most players just rather play games for fun at random times, instead of a tournament with deadlines etc.As fun as random games are, they don't compare to a really good competitive game.

[Quickz]

As fun as random games are, they don't compare to a really good competitive game.

Yeah, thanks for another useful addition, Gry.

?<!-- ? -->

Haha, ik bedoelde dat ik dankzij jouw ban de mogelijkheid om op jcf te posten meer ben waarderen en dat het daardoor ineens 2x achter elkaar gebeurde ;P

[Grytolle]

Yeah, thanks for another useful addition, Gry.
As opposed to "lol ur stupid 4 play dis game entire weekendje ;o"?

[Stijn]

manners plz you both or banhammer. Have your petty fight somewhere else.

[R3ptile]

heh ok gl hf dd

[Superjazz]

St.Louis - Anubis [1:0] (5:1 JE) (4:4 BBLair)
Sperry - Robee [xx:xx]
R3ptile - Ana [xx:xx]
Warrior - FawFul [xx:xx]

Mappool:

<li>BloodBunny's Lair
<li>Happy Semiconductor CTF
<li>Jungle's Edge

Submit your matches before 9/12 18 GMT. Gl!

[R3ptile]

There is a very low chance that I won't finish my match before 18:00 GMT.
Just in case.

[Raven aka StL]

There's a slight chance that I can't play during the set timespan of the semi-final round this evening.

[Sucer]

I guess I'm too late:(

[Superjazz]

Well, you are late to be honest. However, if someone seemed to forfeit their match, I could put you as a replacement in the first place, but before that let's see who plays, and who doesn't.

St.Louis continued to the semi-finals so far. And as an example about the round-scores there, round 1 ended 5-1, and round 2 4-4. Just a reminder that if the game is tied after 15 minutes elapse, the game ends and it counts as a 0 for both. To continue, a player only needs to win the another round by then. If round-wins go 0-0 or 1-1, there will be a tiebreaker-round. The remaining map that neither player picked gets played there. The tiebreaker-round may not end as a tie, the first one to score after the time-limit for once wins the round, and continues to the next stage. From now on the rest of you have around 3 hours to finish your opening-round. I suggest starting to play them within 2 hours or so. I can extend the semi-final deadline to 19:30 GMT, to make sure people have enough time to make it as well. Good luck everyone!

Sperry - Robee [0:0]
R3ptile - Ana [0:0]
Warrior - FawFul [0:0]

[R3ptile]

R3p vs. Ana

5-3 BBLAIR
5-2 Semi

[Robee]

Sperry [5:4] Robee

Semi 3-2
BBlair 2-2

GG, we played on Veg's host and Sperry had lots of 3hk's ;P And the match was too laggy imo.

[Raven aka StL]

Semi-final opponents draw 23 min (53 min) late would be nice.
And I guess this means that I haven't been eliminated because of not making it up until now, today.

[R3ptile]

Should look like this now..

St.Louis [1:0] Anubis (5:1 JE) (4:4 BBLair)
Sperry [1:0] Robee (3:2 Semi) (3:3 BBLair)
R3ptile [2:0] Ana (5:3 BBLair) (5:2 Semi)
Warrior [1:0] FawFul (forfeit)

Semi-finals:

St. Louis [0:1] Sperry (forfeit)
R3ptile [1:2] Warrior (5:0 BBLair) (3:5 JE) (3:5 Semi)

Grand-final:

Sperry [1:2] Warrior - LIVE! (1:5 Semi) (5:1 BBLair) (2:5 JE)


Winner -~*-~-> Warrior. Congratulations!<br><br>

[Raven aka StL]

Semi-final

St. Louis [0-1] Sperry (walkover)

... Her net kept crashing when we were about to play...
Anyway, when she got it working, I didn't have time left to play, nor felt like playing too much. So, I'm out.

[Vegito]

Only 2 forfeits in this tournament, pretty nice. Fawful unfortunately was online for the entire day, but he forgot it was an evening tournament, lol. So when Warrior had time Fawful had to go :(
And Well, St.Louis explained.

Warrior somehow beat R3ptile, 0-5, 5-3 and 5-3 (BBlair, JE and Semi) in that order. Kinda laggy it seemed as I was the host. Anyways, finals are Sperry Vs. Warrior.

[R3ptile]

yeah I seem to have connection problems today.. both Ana and Warrior (different servers btw) felt quite unhittable for me. oh well, Warrior played well and he deserves this win. gg

[Superjazz]

I'm thankful you took this tournament ahead while I was away. I'm really sorry and I promise not to held a single-tournament unless I can arrange my timetable more carefully. Now to get this thing up-to-date...

Grand-Final

Sperry [1:2] Warrior (Round 1 Semi 1-5) (Round 2 BBLair 5-1) (Round 3 JE 2-5)

[R3ptile]

well it kinda sucks i had to take care of more things than just playing my games, but i can't really blame you nor anyone else.. it might've not gone all that smoothly but at least this tourney does come to an end after all.

[Superjazz]

Warrior wins the first One-Evening Tournament. Congratulations!

I am glad this tournament went well, eventhough I kinda failed my part of it. Two games were forfeits, but at least the reasons for them were clear, so I don't feel disappointed at all. The two games I spectated were enjoyable to broadcast, and I feel we could do a tournament within a few months again. Next time I'd rather have a full-length tournament however, since helding a tournament like this within one Evening can be quite...risky. Special thanks go to Vegito, who hosted most of the games, and to R3ptile who quite much handled this tournament ahead while I was away. I must admit Warrior's win was very surprising, so eat your words Vegito? :P

Now the final standings of the tournament are:

Gold: Warrior
Silver: Sperry
Bronze: R3ptile
Fourth: St.Louis {forfeit}
Fifth: Robee
Sixth: Anubis
Seventh: Ana
Eighth: FawFul {forfeit}

[Vegito]

*eats my words* yeah, I was surprised too. I didn't think he'd play that well lol.
Anyways, was a nice tournament yeah. I had fun hosting rounds and get players to play as well ;o. Me and R3p took your job :-( lol.
People seemed to be rather lagged today at JJ2 though >O

[R3ptile]

People seemed to be rather lagged today at JJ2 though >O

[Yasco]

Lagpollution.

[Grytolle]

gratz

[Raven aka StL]

Good job Warrior.

[Ana]

gratz warrior. maybe next time a 2v2 tournament?

[[GpW]Urbs]

man, this stinks, i could have won. without vegito in the tournament this would have been a sinch...

btw 2v2 would rock ya, during the christmas/new year holidays?

[Superjazz]

Let's see, there will be JDC 14 starting next weekend. We will probably have a few small JDC-tournaments.

[Ana]

yeah,but a 2v2 tournament isn`t like jdc

[Vegito]

Talking about me all the time, Urbs? o.O There are a lot of players who are even if not better :P Lol. Anyways, I'm not up for a 2v2 tournament myself. Hate 2v2s too much for that ;p.

[R3ptile]

i realized i hate everything except for duels

[Grytolle]

2v2 would be fun, especially since it's never succeeded (?)

[Enigma]

They have never succeeded mainly for a reason that can't be fixed. It requires 4 people te be online simultaneously instead of just 2, and if any of those 4 have to go during the game, the game is pretty much screwed. And let's face it: tournaments with "walkover" for a result in about half the games aren't fun. Clan 3vs3 tournaments can work around this because there is a larger amount of players to choose from, but if you need the exact 4 correct people to be online, it gets quite a bit harder.

[[GpW]Urbs]

wow enigma, u enlightened person u. and no, not being sarcastic

BTW vegito, we all know ur might is unparalleled in the whole universe. except for gogeta ssj4.. and i haven't decided to use that nick yet.
