Tournament is getting close, get ready guys, it will be badass!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a resume of yours frequently asked questions, hope this will be helpful:

Question (Q.)
1) What do you mean with :- "Save the demo of your last of 2/3 turns. (Look at the FAQ How can I get my demo?) "?
Answer (A.)
1) To win you must win 2 OUT OF 3 rounds. To prove you won the game, you need to post the last match you played with your opponent.

EG. wolfmarc vs Dj.LisT

1) Dj.LisT won
2) Dj.LisT won

In this case Dj.LisT will post the Demo of the 2) match!

EG. wolfmarc vs Dj.LisT

1) wolfmarc won
2) Dj.LisT won
3) wolfmarc won

In that case I will post the Demo of the 3) match!

Q.

2) Is this tournament restricted to Pro. players?

A.

2)NO, This tournament is OPEN to all the people desire to join, doesn't matter if you are Pro or n00b, there won't be differences from the playes. More people will join this tournament more happy we will be. What are you waiting for? sign up !! … aw right we got to wait until October 2nd , was forgetting this

Q.

3) what map are we playing in?

A.

3)Ropes map, with borders. your teams composed of 4 hedgehogs each, don't forget to refresh the map every match you play.

Q.

4)How about disabling teleport as well?

A.
4) First of all be sure to remove from the weapon set the following weapons: Hellish hand-grenade, Ballgun and Watermelon bomb. Teleport must not be taken off, in this way it will be the same as regular shoppa. As claymore wrote, you can start your turn by pressing f9 then f8 to be sure you select the rope. Anyways rolling down the page there's an img of the regular shoppa weapon-set for this tournament.

Q.
5)What about the new weapons which will come in 0.9.14 (especially portal-gun and sine gun)?
A.
5)This Tournament belongs to version 0.9.13 of Hedgewars, you must use just weapons in this current version(.13). Failure to do so will lead to disqualification.

Q.
6)What happens if player_1 wins the first match, player_2 wins the second and the third match is a draw? Will they have to play another round?
A.
6)Exactly, a bit improbable but yes if the 3rd match is a draw you'll play a the 4th one and so on.

If you have any more questions or doubts, please write them here as a comment, so allbody can know the answer, this will help us to not answer at the same question lot of times (especially when we are playing).

Good Day.

Hey it's wolfmarc! How is your summer going guys?

With this update we are going to tell you the sign up period, and the instructions about how to play your shoppa games for this tournament!

1. We discussed about the way to pair up opponents, and we decided that it's better to decide them randomly (to be sure won't find people outside my house waiting to kill me with a melon bomb on their hands :P), using a program that Dj.LisT made just for us!(*img_1.0). [get angry with fate]

   img_1.0

   

2. Let's talk about signing up, you must sign up for the tournament between October 2nd to October 16th. How to do it? It's simple, you just need to comment this post with your Hedgewars name (please do it when the sign up period is open, we will ignore people that will comment this post before October 2nd) like that:

   E.G.

   I want to be in, wolfmarc.

   No late entries! talking to you Roz. (I don't care how stoned you'll be)
   Obviously to post comments in the forum you need to signed in(hopefully with your Hedgewars name)!

3. We will announce who is playing against who on October 18th (Bribes accepted). You will then have one week (October 18th – 24th) to play your game. Save the demo of your last of 2/3 turns. (Look at the FAQ How can I get my demo?)

4. To prove the scores of your round, you must submit the demo recording to us by the end of the 24th October. Failure to do so will lead to disqualification. Demos must be posted in a topic we will open when the tournament will be started! How to do it? Just upload your demo in one of the free host websites like (http://www.mediafire.com/ or http://www.x10hosting.com we suggest you these websites because they are reliable) and post the link as a comment in the forum with the name of the winner. Like the below example:

   E.G.

   www.mediafire.com/......

   winner: Dj.LisT.

   We will watch all your demos and update the scores with a graphical leader board weekly.

5. After the week has passed (October 18th – 24th), we will update the tournament standings every week to show you with who are you going to play next! (Again bribes accepted)

6. Remember to tell your partner to use http://www.doodle.com for the time of their play( we tested it and it's really useful trust me!).

7. Unfortunately due to the untimely death of several hogs the following wepons will not be included: Watermelon Bomb, Hellish Hand-Grenade and the fabled ballgun. Anybody who uses these wepons will lose the match (yes all 3 games) by default.To save the issue of 'unfair weapon pickups', we reccomend you make a custom shoppa game-mode with these weapons not in the crates. [R.I.P Pupser]

Now, Let's talk about the PRIZES!

There will be 3 prizes for all the people that enter in this tournament! Not just for the winners

Hmm... let's keep the secret for a while more

See you in October! And have a good summer!

wolfmarc, Dj.LisT, Blue

If you have any doubts/questions comment this post with your question, and me, Dj.LisT, Blue will reply asap!

I’d like to give additional thanks to Dragonfly ("Joshua 'Dragonfly' O'Sullivan CoheedFTW@hotmail.co.uk) for helping out.

Hope to see you all enter the tournament!

1st Post.

Hello, it was long time that I was thinking about to organize a tournament of Shoppa! Here I am with the right mood to do it!

1. There will be TWO weeks to sign up for the tournament! (Carpe Diem!)
2. All matches will be played on the ROPES map! (Sorry Pupser, no ShapeShoppa)
3. Everyone who signs up can play! (For ppl under 18 the presence of a parent is required :P)
4. If you sign up, you must post a DEMO of one of your games to give Wolfmarc , Blue and DJ.LisT an idea of who is as good as you (*I will teach you how and where to get it! *) [rule changed!]
5. Each game to be considered valid must be watched at least from one of the organizers: Wolfmarc, Claymore, DJ.LisT (beware of imitations!)
6. Spectators ARE allowed but do NOT spamspamspamspamspamspamspamspamspam the chat (It’s annoying, isn’t it?)
7. To win you must win 2 OUT OF 3 rounds. (NOT JUST 1! If you only play one, Rozum-cz will BOMB you!)
8. If you disconnect during the middle of a game, your opponent will win by default! (Don’t be a quitter!)
9. Good luck and make sure to DO A BARREL ROLL!

FAQ

When will the tournament start?

It will be done in the month of October (do not take commitments!)

When will we know who we play?

The week after the end of signup (we need to see all the DEMOS you post)

Why do we have to post a DEMO?

Demos will help us to make the right choices while doing the pairings! (fairly as possible!)

How can I get my DEMO?

First of all play your game! All game are saved until you play another one.
Then:

NOW it's saved!

Windows users:

To pick it you need to go on
