Well, I have a better understanding of who is going to play now, and also know that 4v4 is really hard to organize for people, so with that in mind, the two teams that won, you all play each other, and you are the winners of this tourney.

I'll then setup a 3v3 if anyone is still interested.

Well, RIP Team 1 and 5.

If anyone needs an extra let me know.

hello there


Yeah Cuckoo has sacrificed sleep in order to play.

Is there enough people from the UK, US and Canada? Maybe we could do some kinda regionals or something. Get people playing with people in the same time zone. It may be easier for schedules.

3v3 would be cool. More importantly, we should designate the time: like all teams play once a week, at the same time, say 10 EST on Sunday or something. (Or offer some times in a poll, and go with the one with the most votes.)

Unfortunately this would probably lock some people out, but at least the tournament would move forward consistently.

Edit: I was browsing Forgehub, and noticed their 1v1 Forge based elim tourney. We should straight up copy them, down to the map :lol :lol. Maybe when the maps become free.

I look forward to my 16 seed

haha at least that'd be a tournament we could probably finish :lol


We'd probably fuck that one up to. :lol

I'd honestly love to run a doubles with no radar, but most people seem to be against doubles.

1v1 sounds fun. Lets do it. Better than nothing.

3v3 or 2v2 sounds funner. :)

I'll be apart of anything you guys put together, but 1v1 sounds like meeehhh.

I still think we could do a 4v4 tourny. Just make a date before the sign up. Then people who can't make the date won't sign up, simple. They'll just have to wait for the next one. If you need any help setting things up let me know.

Well we still don't have a whole lot of people willing to do a tourny yet, so maybe we should settle on a doubles no radar tourny and go from there. Hopefully we can generate some interest for others to join.

What about having tournaments to mirror say Playlist Updates?

We could have arranged something for SWAT this weekend, maybe a few multiteam games, maybe not even a tournament, but a GAF event to go alongside whatever is hot - good way to nab some attention. (or, seeing as the DoubleXP stuff is weekend only, we could have a couple of Grifball macthes the weekend after, or SWAT stuff next weekend?

I propose the following (outside any GAF tournaments);

SWAT Event - Multiteam (the gametype is just a suggestion, im sure everyone might prefer something else)

Free DLC Event - (Something using the Heroic maps, maybe some objective stuff)

Legendary DLC Event - Profit?

Griffball Event - the week after it reappears next month

And so on...

I'd be willing to organise the first too or help out in any way that I can.

Having fixed events one week after the main proper events also gives you some insight for the dates in advance and they could easily be planned out, for example having plans for number of people that are available and confirm atleast 24 hours beforehand (having guests or family members or friends as emergency backups in the case of no shows.

I think a series of GAF events would help out the possibilities of a tournament (or maybe vice versa) it would atleast give GAF related HALO 3 hijinks abit more publicity and take away the current limitations of unorganised, over-subscribed random GAF games.

There could be two catagories, America + West and Europe + East, that way we can match up people to reduce latency and if the skills or unevenly distributed or a certain group is lacking participants, they can be melded.
 
I'm interested. 2 v 2 sounds good: should it be 'bring your own team', or let Ramirez play matchmaker again? It might be easier to arrange matches with BYOT. Seeding done by average highest rank, or something like that.

(and I'm still interested in 1v1, btw - that would be the easiest yet to run. It could be played on small arena-style forged foundry maps)
