JazzJackrabbit.net (www.jazzjackrabbit.net) and "the crew" is organizing a sequel to the CTF duel-tourney held last year. There will be prices for the top 3 players (specially designed T-shirts), like last time. If the player belongs to a clan, that clan will be awarded under "awards" here on jjnet. This tournament has space for a total of 48 players, and is FREE FOR ALL!

However there are a few requirements for players signing up:
-Player must be able to understand and talk English to at least be able to read and understand the common rules, and be able to arrange matches with foreign players.
-Player should be either European/African/American, since Asian players will most probably have problems arranging matches and also have the most lags in matches.

The previous tournament was a direct elimination-tournament, thus the draw wasn't probably as balanced as it could be. Version 2.0 starts off with a Group Stage where players will be drawn into different groups to play versus others in the same group. Each player will get to play (x) matches minimum, and that way all players have about equal starting points. In addition the performance in the Group determines your position in the Elimination Stage.

Since Putty Bracket System supports only the Elimination Stage (http://www.jazzjackrabbit.net/index.php?op=toernooi), the Group Stage (http://www.jazzjackrabbit.net/index.php?op=ntourney) was put on another page(Old NT which seemed to fit quite well.)

So go ahead and SIGN UP HERE! (http://jazzjackrabbit.net/putty/bracket_signupteam.php)

I am in too. I also suggest you make it so that playing is somehow encouraged, to discourage people from resigning. :)

The Sign Ups have now officially closed. Last time 32 players signed up in about 24 hours. This time the same amount took only 14 hours, which is mighty impressive. To reach a total of 48 signed up players, the time needed was about 60 hours. No more players can directly enter anymore, but I will still accept a few reserve-requests in case some player resigns before playing the first match.

@Jake: You should thank Nerd for that.

Finally I'm getting back that feeling of the old days. I think I'm back in shape and prepared more than ever for the knockout stage. Good luck friends ;)

For the first time in JJ2's history, I have no idea who will win this tourney. I mean I can recall Cell, FS, Skull, Val (who was actually later caught cheating I think?), SJ, Veg, dominating in the past, but this time there are so many equally good players.. I predict War, JJBynny, PJ and Kenny will get far though.

That is exactly why this tournament is much more thrilling than the previous one. :P

This should indeed be an interesting tournament. I wish I could have played too.. Would have been good for SJ to play too actually. Heh.
