So team 1 needs another person for match 2 and if team 1 wins they get a prize!
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

I would have if another game was chosen. I feel like this game is just a pub game, I dont understand how it can be played in a match. (even though I know it is played like that)
Anything but this game would have been ok with me :D

I've played all of 10 minutes in TF2.  I'll never learn it.  I think I'll sit this round out.

This game is far from pub, if you have the right config, right maps, class limits and weapon bans. I guarantee you'd get destroyed by and 6v6 team  ^-^

I still view it as a pub game, and the fact that you need to ban classes and weapons for it to be competitive is a warning sign right there.

4v4 is too little, lets do 6v6 next time. Not sure if we can use the same server though, probably best anyway because people were complaining about the lag :) haha

I think a weekly game day (FPS or not) is a really cool idea.  When I think tournament, though, I think 1v1.  That would allow US and EU players to stick to their division until the finals.  It would also allow more than one game.

We need the people to back that up. There were a couple people who were displeased about how the first one didn't go as planned and seemed to give the air they wouldn't be back, and others who may have obligations and will have to drop out.

We barely got 12 players as is. I'm all for 6v6 but weed need literally 50% more people signing up for this from what we had previously.

EDIT: Plus TK only sponsored 4 caps (1 for each player)

and Tym, didn't luke say that he wouldn't have the server next weekend? If that be the case, you might want to postpone for a fortnight, and reboot the whole tournament from scratch. Figure out everything beforehand, a time, a date, rules, and the have everybody sign up and work the teams.

And hopefully we have some reliable stand-ins this time. I think there were a lot of people who really did want to make it but were confused about what time it was. It's very difficult to co-ordinate times between US and UK. I think the easiest is if everybody sets up a second clock on thier computer (easy with windows 7) that runs on GMT and then EVERYBODY just either uses GMT to co-ordinate, or figures the difference and double checks it. We could also post a chart that would show the time spread as the match would occur around the world.

The information was too spread out as well, I think the second thread made it confusing. Just have everything in the one thread, or at least have the second thread unlocked so it gets bumped and people notice it. This could be the overall FPS Tournament bi-weekly thing, and then open a new thread for everybody interested in each individual tourney. A mass E-Mail the thursday/friday before would help everybody be notified what the final word was. That way nobody has an excuse that they didn't know, at least beyond a reasonable amount of effort on the organizer's end.

Just a few ideas.

I proposed hosting in New York as it's kind of a middle-ground for good latency. Also another option is to host the different games at different locations -- like TF2 obviously is in UK, next game in the tourney can be hosted in California or NY

Main thing was we had luke set up with a server free for our use in ireland, that was a big plus.

In my Call of Duty 2 days I was in a clan called BATS (British American Tactical Squad) and we had scrimmages all the time. It's an equal disadvantage (milliseconds equate to milliseconds whether you're on one end or the other)

I think we should wait till we have enough participants and then wait for a week or so so that we know we have the participants and nobody's going to drop out on us. I think we should probably have 3 teams of 4, and 1 team of 4 as backups.

Sorry that it didn't work out tym.
I would bet that it would be easier to play CS instead. Easier to find players since Everyone has played it, and knows how it works cuz the rules are simple.
