Yes, let's ignore Domino's PM to Fin saying "hey man, 1pm EST is 10pm PST (my time) which is a tad early"

I can't believe I have to put an alarm clock for an unofficial H3 game. :lol

Teams 4 and 6 are scheduled for tomorrow, but it's a bit disconcerting that I'm the only one from team 6 to confirm the time. I'll still show up, but who knows if we'll even have enough people? :(

2pm PST right? I'll be there. Send pms & XBL messages via Xbox.com to all the slackers on your team.

Yeah, 2PM PST. I've sent out PMs to my team, but I can't guarantee they'll even read them (or this thread) in time. I guess we'll just have to wait and find out.

I don't regularly check this thread, but I think that PM's through the 360 work better. Scheduling this thing is pretty hard. How about we do it tomorrow around 3:00 PM PST?

Hopefully someone can create a write-up like in the Humpday Challenges. I'm definitely not the person for that. :p

Long story short: We tied 2-2 on High Ground, so we decided to use the next two games as tie-breakers. Team 6 won KOTH on Narrows, while team 4 beat us in a straight-up Slayer match on Guardian. Since we considered the High Ground match a win for both teams, both of use were now 2-1, so we needed one more tie-breaker.

Enter Neutral Assault on the Pit. Team 6 took the lead, but team 4 constantly kept reseting the bomb when we armed it. At the end of the day, team 6 won the match, but team 4 was definitely some tough competition (especially on High Ground...you guys had a perfect set-up. All of you had a line-of-sight to the flag).

Hopefully someone can post pics soon.

1 and 5 isn't it?

I think that was a pretty good write-up of events. I'd do a full on thing with pics (like one where i somehow stuck TS on the Hammer :/) but i don't have much time. Maybe just a couple of pics of cool things i noticed when playing

Good games guys. Glad we finally got it to happen. We just need the Ramirez game to go down, and then it's on to the loser's bracket for me! :p

Nice, another set played, now we just need me and my merry band of stragglers to play. :lol

I am free all day tomorrow, lets get this done.

Yeah, I was really happy with our second offensive play on High Ground. Had two cover the left underground after opening the gate, and I covered the flag runner with the ghost as he ran home. Unfortunately our defense fell apart at the last moment on the 4th round. :p

Good games all in all, though I vote we use straight up crazy king rather than GAF king in future matches.

Can we just finish our games already?

I'm free Monday/Wednesday after 6:30pm PST and Tuesday/Thursday after 4:30-5pm PST.

Friday-Sunday, I'm free whenever. I can just make my other plans around our games.

Your (and our matchup) is why I thought of this:

squatingyeti said:
I think it makes sense going forward though, don't you guys? If people start playing one flag to a win, it isn't done for both rounds, unless neither team scores, or both teams score during the 1st wave. It should be college football rules. Each team gets a chance at offense. If the score is still tied, continue playing until one team scores and the other doesn't. If the team that was defense first, scores first, they win. The offense already had their shot.

Example:

One flag is played and both teams score 1 capture. Overtime is played.

Blue is offense/Red is defense in overtime. These results could happen:

Blue scores, Red has their offensive round to score or they lose.
Blue does not score, Red scores, Blue loses.
Neither team scores, continue playing following above guidelines.

I for one, think going forward, that is a better idea than having a tie.

I vote for all future games to adopt this system. Otherwise, every matchup will have a different format. Some people will play extra games, others will decide the winner of KOTH is the winner of it all, and people like you guys will play a 4th game. We need consistency.

I honestly do not see the 1/5 matchup happening, between timezones and a few who just flat out do not check often enough. I might just make one team out of the two with the people have actively tried to get the match done or something.

Who's the other team that lost? Team 4? Let's set our second round up.

Team 4 vs. Team 3. Don't make me start hunting the rest of you bastards down online. We WILL accomplish something we set out to do for once. I've already been screwed out of a GAF grifball team, I won't let you take this from me...I won't! :'(

*wipes tears*

Don't you deny me of my losses GAF, don't you do it.

I can make it on Thursday afternoon. I do not know if the rest of you guys will show up. However, the end of my quarter is near and I have hardly anytime to play games. If you guys want to drop me from the team its fine, I understand.

So should we finish this tournament this weekend? What's everyone thinking? Team 1 & 5 morphed into one team of regulars? I'm free the rest of the week after work and at anytime during the weekend. Post here, lets get it done!
