EF 2v2 Tournament 2

Signups closed - reserve teams still accepted

Starting Date: Friday 9th September - Round 1 will be arranged by you and played before this date. Round 2 will commence after a certain time on that day. You will have x number of hours to complete round 2 then, and so forth.

Ok guys, I've recreated the tourney page because the other one is getting too long and is a little unclear. The format will now be changed to have each round played over a day or two period to allow teams to decide what is the best time for all of them to play. In this way, the tourney will probably go for quite a few days rather than a solid 6 hours or so during the day. Remember when deciding what time to play, that you will likely need a couple hours to play 2-3 matches. Please make sure you chat to each other using GMT (or forum time but make it clear) otherwise there may be some confusion.

Please have some level of commitment here guys. In order for this to run smoothly everyone must make sure they know who they're playing with and against, and at what time. This will mean a lot of communication in this thread and via PMs between teams.

Eastern Front must be patched to version 1.51 for you to play. 

TOURNEY BRACKET:


Format: 2v2AT - Knockout. Number of rounds - 4
- Best of Three games per round (500VPs, standard resources)
- Must win 2 games to progress to the next round
- Factions and Maps are to be decided between the players. If a decision cannot be reached, PM a referee (myself) or post here and a coin flip will decide
- Players will swap factions for the second game. Eg. Team 1 plays axis first game and allies second game.
- Third game faction and map will be decided by the team with the better VP score from the first two game. Eg (Team 1 wins game 1 0-37 in a close game. Team 2 wins game 2 0-489. Team 2 decides the 3rd game faction/map)

Factions allowed: Soviet Union, US, Wehrmacht and Panzer Elite. (all rewards allowed)

TIMES: Round 1: Completed before 11:59pm GMT Friday 9th September
          Round 2: Completed before
          Round 3: Completed before
          Finals: Completed before

Please arrange with your partner and opponents to play your game before the time stated for each round.

Your game time will be decided amongst the members of both teams to find a time that suits both of you within the time bracket given for that round. This tourney will not be played all at once but rather, each round will be played over a day or two to allow players to find a time that suits them.

Match results:
Post all match results in this thread! (including replays). Your game will be forfeit or replayed if you, or your opponent, are unable to provide a replay. Screenshots are not required. Please also post VP scores.

Please name your replays appropriately so it is easy to identify them. This is very important. If you don't know how to post replays, ASK! In order to post replays to this site, you must pack the .rec file into a .rar file or .zip file. You can compress to these filetypes using WinRAR or WinZIP, or various other compressing programs. Your replay files (.rec) can be uploaded straight to GR without the need for zipping/compressing.

Use the following naming format:

Round No. Game No.: Team 1 vs Team 2

Eg.
R2 G1: GodlikeDennis/EFAllActionNoPlot vs Retake3/ColonelLiberachi

You may also post them on GR and simply provide a link to them if you wish (using the same naming format). Brief descriptions of how the game transpired and what map it was played on are also desirable but not essential.

Restrictions:
The only maps allowed are:
Duclair
Etavaux
Lorraine
McGechaen's War
Pointe du Hoc
Rails and Metal
St. Hilaire
Wolfheze
Grodno
Lemberg

You must have the latest version of EF to play. It is currently 1.51.

If you would like to play in the tourney but don't have a partner, post your name in this thread, followed by -teamless to allow me to find you a partner. Someone else may also feel free to offer to be your partner. If you don't have a partner for certain, I cannot guarantee that you will be allowed to play in the tourney.

should we keep same teams? I dont see a reason to re organize the teams unless people left

redguard/darcreaver

New people may want to sign up. Also, I want to make sure the teams that signed up from before are paying attention and re-sign themselves. Some people might want a different partner too.

I like the way you organized this. It is much better than the former one..
Sign me up, though I don't know if I have a partner yet (you know, there are some problems with timezones for me and Cranial).

TheDzierzanPL and ApeMan

I can defiantly play with Maxiking. This weekend was just a struggle for me, with the move and all.

Ok so note: MaxiKing6 and Cranialwizard

QuoteHow long can you advertise for?

I'll just pin it, so it'll stay there until the tourny is under way. ;)

Single.

me and flgator

I can join Seeme, if he wants...  :D

Ingame chat will be burning.

I would like to add that you guys all suck. This is about the 5th time we've tried to do this. It will never work, so you should all quit trying. Unfortunately, the only people that show up are Vonklaus and myself. Until you guys put some money on this, and make it a real tournament..... what do you really expect?  You think a bunch of gamers are going to be coordinated enough to talk about times and maps? hahahaha, never happen. There has to be a prize, scheduled times, and some penalty for dropping out.
Now that I have enlightened the powers that be on how to run this shit, make it happen!

... you dare to doubt Dennis powers?  :o

As a member of inexperience on the Forum (Especially shooting down members like GodLikeDennis) and not knowing how tourneys worked in the past it would be best if you held your tongue.

The reason why it didn't work out was because lack of coordination and updating by certain people, myself included at the varying times I could play and was available. We have done multiple tournaments in the past like this.

This isn't the 5th time, this is the 2nd time we tried a 1.4 tourney. The only people that showed up were the people whom didn't fucking read the entire thread.

He shouldn't. Dennis is a very coordinated person and can keep this shit on track.

I'd like to participate, too. Single + noob (lvl 8 vCoH).

I want to check in for the tournament.

Nickname: SuperSoca
Teamate: 3Pastel1Choops

Thanks!  ;D

FLGator? Who the fuck ARE you to be telling me how to run things? You have no clue as to the coordination that goes in to a 1 day tournament. Instead, this will be more like a test cricket match. Each round will run for a day or two to allow for timezone differences. It's a much more intelligent way of running the tourney than simply setting a time which not everyone will be able to attend at start time or for the duration of the tourney.

As Cranial has said, tourneys have run quite fine in the past of which I was the coordinator of one. This is only the second attempt at this tournament which is better because it will contain the latest balance patch and will not be at a fixed time that was an issue with the previous attempt.

Tehehe, I tried to say it nicely :D

"I would like to add that you guys all suck"

I would like to add that you are know one of the suckest people I know.

Would love to participate  :)

I could be with Cephalos.

signed then :)

Not true. vonKlaus was busy till late night and couldnt play with you at scheduled time.

Only plp that were on time were me, John, Glimz i think, Dennis, and some other stuff.

The only thing i agree with you is that it doesnt make sense to join a tourney when you dont play. Only Cranial said he couldnt play on time

It wasn't only me!  >:( It was agreed on a widescale that setting one specific starting time was rubbish because at 1 PM in one time zone is 1 AM in another, this leading to failure to participate.

At least the way it's set up now is that everyone could play.

I had joined the tourney initially expecting it to be on June 4th but it was moved to the following week to where it was debatable if I could attend or not.

Exactly. It's only totally necessary to set up a deadline, else there will be players who will keep putting their games back and back and back. To prevent this every game has to be played until said date.

somehow that sounds pretty arrogant!

even you and vonklaus werent able to be online at the original time!!!
and the restart (organisation) of dennis is much better the the 1st try. especially since it is not limited to a single day.

and we have good reasons to whait untill next patch is released!!!

you can belive me, dennis knows how to organize a tournament and i think with him as new "leader" this tourney becomes much better.

We will have +1 team of brazilian comunity checking-in today.

What about to make this a news on gamreplays? Just to announce it there will be a tournament after new patch

This is a good idea, but i think its best to do this after the organization have a defined start time.

Dennis, I don't know who you are. Haha, I don't really care who you are. I have faith in you though Dennis. I think you can run this tournamant how it is supposed to be run.
Now that everyones feathers are ruffled, maybe everyone will show up. Provisionally, if this tournament fails, I hope all entrants will be willing to put up $5 in a paypal account for the next one. Obviously, it's not about money with Vonklaus and I, as I feel we have very little chance to win this thing anyway. However, wouldn't hurt to give people a little extra incentive to show up; no matter how trivial. If people don't show, no big deal, just keep their money.

As for the 'you guys suck line.'  Calm down fellas, just message boarding your balls. You guys all know I love you... well maybe not Dennis, I don't know Dennis.

When is this tourney gonna start anyway?

the tournament has no start date

why not?
we dont know when the next patch ist ready!

after the patch has been released all get enought time to test it and think about new/old tactics.

Yea what the fuck kind of idea is that. We arn't going to CHARGE you to have fun.

Change of plans, apeman/evilspike will play with Killar, so i am alone.

Cephalos, maybe we can play together???

I think Cephalos paired with Seeme but there are other loners out there :)

right killar and me are a team now :-P
thx zier

a prize  :o hell yeah nice

I will not play with stranges, you know, i have to know how they are good. I don't want lost too fast.

I have been sitting on an idea for a proper physical prize for a little while now, but didn't want to suggest it until the game is balanced and debugged enough.

What kind of prize will it be, blackbishop? Something tangible or pure cash?

Just cash afaik, sent by paypal. Althought a phisical prize (some kind of thropy) would be great ;D.

I can play both with Dzierzan and Seeme... with Dzierzan I can communicate through Skype.  It all depends of what will Seeme say: shall I stay or leave?  ::)

Blackbishop and Pariah get it^^^^. I would be more than happy to chip in on this fund. Something nominal, like $5. Just give me your paypal info. Make the next tourney intense, haha. Then we won't have to worry about people showing up, but I'm sure there will be lots of serious arguments about disputed games.

Or we could all agree on a prize beforehand. As long as everyone chips, we could have some sort of trophy/small cash prize.

Anyway, save these ideas for the next tournament, I don't want to rain on this tournaments parade.

Cep*

You can go with him. You two get to talk, so I shouldn't get in your way.

Am single again.

I would like to Sign Up for the tournament!

Relic Online nickname: MajorShowtaro
Partner: Chacineiro

Good initiative.
