OK I suspect Halo2Vista will be out sometime in the first half of next year, so that may mean that this is the last summer for Halo PC. With that in mind I am going to see if I can run...no I'm going to run several Halo PC tournaments this summer. I tried unsuccessfully earlier this year but I have learned from my mistakes and plan to do these right this time. The first will be a single elimination FFA slayer tournament with 64 players. The match format will be 4 players FFA with the top 2 players advancing to the next round. The last four players will play three matches the player with the most kills at the end of the three matches wins the tournament. The other tournament I plan are 2v2 team slayer and a 5v5 CTF.

What I need from you guys is people to help me setup and run it. J-man from these forums was a huge help last time and hopefully will be available to help cuz he's not in school. The MOST IMPORTANT help I need is setting up a webpage to host the tournament info. I couldn't program to save my life and that includes HTML. I've tried Nvu, Dreamweaver and Frontpage and I suck at them all. I have, wait let me check... my old clan forums here that I was going to use. Ideally I want a webpage{www.HaloPCtournament.tk or something like it} with a front page that has tournament news and info and links to the following items:

*Forums - probably the ones above
*Bracket - showing who played and who advanced
*Rosters
*schedule matches and their times

If you or someone you know CAN do this and is interested in helping me PM me or email me at [email] jquinn83@lycos.com [/email].

Other help I will need is people to setup the matches on the server if I am not available, and sending reminder e-mails to players before their matches.

Last time we got an Announcement put on the Bungie front page and thats how we got over 70 people to sign up. I plan on doing that again so this should be a full tournament.

I plan on starting the matches for the first tournament after I take my kids to the NASCAR race at Dover on June 4th. So we have plenty of time to get ready.

Go ahead and give me ideas on the format or setup of the other tournaments. I'm thinking about having a World Cup style format where four teams play each other once and the winner of the group advances to the next round. But that may be too many matches.

Thanks

Note: this is not a sign-up post, sign-ups will be on the website when it is up.

I want to say that even though I haven't been at the Maw Gatherings for as long or as often as others, I'm going to miss playing Halo PC with you guys. But I'm going to love playing Halo 2 PC with you dudes. I'll try to help in whatever way I can.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I can design and host a webpage for you along with an IPB forum(legal one) once my host gets over the DDoS that some Egyptians are performing on them.

Tourney's are nice. I might join in.


oh... so finally a mod joins and plays halo pc! about time! ;-)

so I don't know if this would be good, but I can make a group on myspace (I know a lot of people hate it, this is just a suggestion) with forums and everything, that could work, if anyone disagrees let me know, I won't do it until there's a majority decision, or unless igg thinks it's a cool thing.

I'd rather have a proper forum instead of a crappy ad filled one like My Space.

I would be happy to give you a hand. I know basic HTML and I am really good at using MS FrontPage. Also some of the best free forums that I can think of are the invisionfree forums. They offer a basic free board that is completely customizable. So if you have any questions or are interested in my help my e-mail is [email]mikemrunehelp@gmail.com[/email]. I am the leader of the [ASS] clan so I could also probably get some other trusted people to help out. Even if you don't need my help, I am really looking forward to signing up and p00wning some n00bs! ;P

Update:
My host will be back up as soon as we can get the hard drive from the old server into the new one.
Then I can set up a forum for you and host a webpage that someone designs if you want.

If you want this, then the forum will be IPB(legal) and it will be fully customizable.

Then you can get a free domain like .tk or .co.nr and redirect it to the site.

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

I love the Idea. Ill sign up when its ready. I better practice a bit before.
I was going to reccomend using freewebs, and then just registering a domain name. I hate .tk, since they cancled my domain name, for lack of visiters. But you shouldnt have a problem with them.
If you are interested in the freewebs/.tk domain idea, just PM me, or send an email at conman577@hotmail.com.
(PM preferrably, I rarely check my email)

I'll be making up the rough draft of the rules and format of the first tourney hopefully today or tomorrow. I hope to start the matches shortly after the 5th of June. I would like to be done with the first tourney by the end of June so I can run the second in July and the third in August.

OK here's what I got so far:

Free-For-All Slayer Tournament
Players: 64
The tournament will consist of five rounds of 4-player FFA matches. Each match consists of 2 games of slayer on two different maps. The maps will be decided by lottery before the tournament begins. The two players with the highest number of total kills in the two games will advance to the next round. The others will be out of the tournament. Each round will be the same but with different maps until we are down to 4 players. The player with the most kills in the last round will be the tournament champion.

Maps/gametypes
The maps that will be used for this tournament are:
Battle Creek
ChillOut
Chiron TL-34
Damnation
Derelict
HangemHigh
Longest
Prisoner
Rat Race
Wizard

Each round will have two maps and each map will be only used once

Gametype
25-kill Classic Slayer Pro
Normal Shields and Health
5 or 10 sec Respawn?
Classic weapons meaning no Flamers or Fuel rods
Start with A/R, pistol and 2 nades
No suicide penalty
No Radar
20min Time-limit


Matches
All matches will be played on the Bungie.net Maw server(IP Address 8.2.0.184) located in Dallas, Texas. Players should join the server at least 5-min before the scheduled start of the match. If all players are not present, the start of the match will be held for 10-min. Any player not present 10 mins after the scheduled start of the match will be considered no-shows and they are out of the tournament.
If all players are present or the 10-min mark has past, the match admin will ask if all players are ready to start the match. They must respond 'yes'. When the match admin gets confirmation from all players he will say "Match live after restart". The admin will then reset the mapcycle take a screen shot of the carnage report and leave the server. The time between maps will be set to the max 30sec. When the map loads the game will be live. After one player scores 25 kills or the time limit is up all players should take screenshots of the carnage report. After 30-sec the next map will load and the second game will be live. At the end of this game screenshots should be taken and then the server should be vacated for the next match. The winners should report the win on the website, screenshots should be saved in case there is a dispute.

Schedule(still way up in the air):

Times will be setup for matches and players are to sign-up for a time-slot they can play.

or

based on time availability of the players, we set up first-round matches and then work out the remaining rounds between the remaining players. This allows for the bracket and everyone will know who they will be playing next but may be difficult to schedule matches if players aren't available at the same time.



Any suggestions are welcome

I get out of school June 8th or 9th, so I just gotta join when I can. If it gets to a point where I can't make it at all during the tourneys I'll just not play.
