Ok ladies,there seems to be interest in the main thread,so I figure I'll try to set this up.If you're interested,PM me with your 4 man team and if we get enough people I'll set up brackets and let you all know who you play and we can decide the time/day for whenever everyone can get together.

I'm thinking double elimination, first to 6, and the game type can be either WZ/Execution,whichever people want to play more.So yea,just PM me if you can round of 4 guys that are interested, and please don't waste my time unless you're serious about playing :p

Teams so far:

-Ramirez
-Nutter
-Ironclad Ninja
-TJ Trasher


-Rod
-Vagrant
-Spooka
-Beamber

I don't even know who vagrant is on GAF,if anyone could fill me in that would be great. But yea,only two teams so far,lame!

by the way, i think itd be better to not gives "maybe we'l do this and that" and just set it to first to 4, one full rotation of every map, warzone only (we could probably host an execution one after the conclusion of this one). so yeah, first to 4, every map cycled, and whoever wins the most maps, wins the that round :)

im sure they would if it was a gaf tourney. we played like that yesterday and well tbh most of the time we go thru the map cycle TWICE :lol i think only then you could decide who the winner is. and rounds will go down to the wire.

Uhm I am cool for all these tourneys... but 10 matches against the same team is not something i support. Even if it is 4 rounds. I say just get a vote and pick the top 5 maps that people like and play them. Also some people will not even participate in this just because its 10 matches.. yeah I know this because I have tried this with Halo already.

-Best of 5 (4 rounds each)
-Double elimination games
-2 brackets
-Default Weapons
-Top 5 Best Maps as voted on.

Doc/Flo, if you guys don't have a team then maybe we can get one rolling. I'm not sure if Denog is on a squad either.

I like Nutter's idea best,I think playing all the maps would be overkill for some.

So yea,everyone list your top 5 maps and we'll go from there.

-War Machine
-Mausoleum
-Mansion
-Fuel Depot
-Canals

thats kinda gay, dontcha think? i mean, everyone clearly has weaknesses on certain map (gridlocked, for example, i suck at) and it would be more even and "fair" if we played on every map. that ways noone will complain about I SUCK AT ALL THE MAPS THAT WERE CHOSEN.


if your not game enough to go every map tho...

No, no. Don't worry about it. It's the fun increases ninetyfold when I get to tag you and JB. :lol

As for the map rotation: I know playing ALL the maps is usually awesome, but it's going to be really daunting for a double elim tourney (and especially tiresome during the really close match-ups). Nutter's idea isn't "fair" to everyone, but it's certainly more efficient.

Here are my top 5 maps:

1. Canals
2. Clocktower
3. War Machine
4. Mansion
5. Fuel Depot

fair enough re: the maps list, but at least make it 7 maps, so the rounds last longer! anyone have a list of every map?

I never called our team the Dream Team. You said that! :lol

Anyway, I'll sign off on the maps Mike G.E.D. selected. They sound good to me, although, I think Gridlock would be a good inclusion as well.

What time is all this starting and who is hosting? The games I host are, as far as I know, lag-free. So lemme know.

Gridlock is probably the worst map in the game :p

Eh, not really. It's one of the few maps with wide open enviornments, which is exactly how the game was meant to be played.

Well to be "fair" No tourney is designed to make everyone happy. There will always be a group that wont like the rules. Also have to keep in mind that double elimination 8map matches will take too long. And if people really care for what map they want to play on.. Well that is the reason I said VOTE!!

My top 5 maps.

-Canals
-Fuel Depot
-Mansion
-ClockTower
-War Machine

Any room still? I'm up for more Gears multi. I'll play just so you'll all invite me when you are playing each night. I see Ram on all the time but can never get into the GAF games.

Hook me up.

Me and Ram just got off of a 3 hour ownage through ranked matches where we went undefeated for 3 hours. ;)

And by the end we had rivalries going on between our team and the others.
In fact 1 team joined our match 4 times because they got pissed that we kept owning them. :p

By myself. Srsly.

Actually, I don't think this will work because A) it's a team based thing, so a full team has to enter and B) it's in the online forum :(
