Randy and claymore

When

Signup opens with this post, just leave your (online) name and the name of the team you will be using throughout the tournament in a comment in this thread. The tournament will begin on Monday 11th of April.

Signup

Simply make a user account (if you're a forum member you should already have one) and leave a comment below. Your comment should include your player name, the name of the team you plan to use in the tournament, and optionally, your country. You have the rest of this week to sign up, signup will close on 1st of April.

Rules

• Each match will be the best of three games. If one player wins his first two games, the third is optional. The winner of the match will score a full point (see tournament system below).

• Each game will use *this* weapon set. It's a compromise based on this thread; that is, default minus RC Plane, Cake, Dynamite and Portal Gun, with 1 rope instead of 4, 2 cluster bombs instead of 3, 1 girder delayed 3 turns instead of 2 girders, and unlimited seduction and mudball.

• Each match will take place on a randomly generated, medium-sized map (use the "Medium" map filter option). Be sure to regenerate the map each game.

• Each game must be played within one week. Match times will be posted, and the next round may begin earlier if all games are finished and all players are happy (unlikely).

• When a match finishes, the winner must be announced in this thread. Anyone can post the result, but ultimately the match winner is responsible.

• Demos should be submitted for all matches, and should be uploaded to the hedgewars site (click "Demos"). Any player can upload the demo, but ultimately the match winner is responsible. Make sure you turn on "append date and time to record file name" in the game options; this will save demos automatically to ~/.hedgewars/Demos/ under Linux, %userprofile%\hedgewars\Demos\ under Windows, and (Name of your Computer)/Library/Application Support/Hedgewars/Demos on Mac I'm told. Sift through this thread for some nice pictures.

• Matches not played within the one week schedule will be subject to review. If one or both players are found to be responsible for the match not being played, that player/players will forfeit the round.

• If a player gets disconnected during a game, that player forfeits the game unless his opponent wants to replay it, or is happy to concede defeat in a game he was losing. I know most disconnections are unintentional, but unfortunately it's impossible to tell for sure; having it any other way would allow players to disconnect and force the game to be replayed, win due to hog count etc. This rule is simplest.

• If a network problem occurs which affects both players (server crash etc), the game should be replayed.

• Organising when a match is played (within the one week schedule) is down to the players. Doodle worked well for us last time, but if you have your own ideas feel free to suggest them.

• AI teams are forbidden. Let's be honest though, they don't offer much of an advantage in this mode.

• Players should use the same teams throughout the tournament, so the owners can be identified more easily by anyone following the games.

• Each team plays with 4 hedgehogs.

• Observers are welcome. Chat is welcomed, but please do so with consideration for the players. If it puts players off, you may want to use team/observer chat (press 'Y') instead of regular chat.

• Please try to arrive in good time, at least 5 minutes before the match is due to start. Late arrival might count against you if it prevents your match being played that week.

• When creating a room, please include the word "tournament" somewhere in the room name, and remember to restrict team additions. We get a lot of idiots who can't read. :p

• Claymore will do a post to the weapon set soon.

  Note that the correct place to find your demos on Mac is ~/Library/Application Support/Hedgewars/Demos.

  If 0.9.16 is released by the time registration ends, we will use this for all games. Otherwise, all players should use 0.9.15. We might push back the start of the tournament if 0.9.16 is on the verge of being released.

  In the first two games, the playing order should not be random. One player should go first first game, then second in the second game. If a third game is required, it should be played with a random playing order.

Tournament system

claymore wants Swiss style. What this means (as opposed to the knockout format of the previous tournaments) is that instead of losers being eliminated, they will be re-paired with players who have a similar number of wins and losses. This means that everyone gets to plays every round, and even have a chance of winning the tournament after losing a game. The player with the most points (wins) at the end is declared the winner.

Randy wants elimination or double elimation. Elimination was the format of all previous tournaments. Double elimination is a variant where losers get a chance to continue by winning a playoff.

If it's not obvious how these systems work, Google and wikipedia are you friends.

Number of rounds will depend on number of entrants.

Make your opinions on tournament format known in this thread.

Prizes

To be decided. Probably the usual fame and riches beyond your wildest imagination.

Announcing your Victory

Possibly a new thread will be created for this. We'll keep you updated. In any case, post your name, opposing player's name, result for each game and ideally, a link to the demo for each game.

If you have any questions regarding the tournament, you can catch often us on IRC (click the IRC live chat button). I'll deal with english, randy can help you in spanish and french.
