Tournament of Champions II - Time to get the word out

Zing79 · 11-29-2001, 01:59 AM

Well the first tourney is in the books, and im starting work on the second one.

The rules and such will be announced later.
The only reason im giving you the heads up is because the next one is coming much sooner than you'd think :biggrin:
and this time I need to make sure you know when it is!

Those of u with a "sharp eye" will have already visited the website for touranemnt of champions II, and will see the work in progress for it. (gotta love the hidden features of my website) :biggrin:

anyway...back to the tournament.
the rules and the way the tournament is set up will be substancially different then the one just concluded.

Thats why I can tell you there is NO SIGN up in the forum, or on the website.

You will register in a much different way this time, and because of that I doubt there will be any DQ'es or byes!

I'm not fully prepared to announce how it will be hosted UNTIL TMyApp tells me he will give me a prize for a tournament of 64 plyrs :biggrin:

All that I can tell you so far, is that this one will be double elimination (gotta lose twice!!).
And that it is restricted to the TOP 64 plyrs who register.
It will NOT be a best of 5 matches..thats been reduced to a best of 3.

I can honestly tell you that this time around, the time you have to put in is going to get cut SUBSTANCIALLY!!!
I can also tell you that you wont have to worry about sending emails to anyone, or worrying about receiving them..

just trust me when I say, this is going to be alot more like any tournanment you've seen in real life, then anything that has come before (including the one I just hosted)

I've learned from the mistakes of the first tournament (mine, and yours), and I think I've got a way to get rid of all the problems we encountered with this one.

Hopefully TMyApp will sign off on a prize for 64 plrys, because I can honestly tell you there's no way I can do it with anymore ppl then that..how bout it bud?:biggrin:

ehhhh....will the players ACTUAL SKILL be assesed, or ust their rank? ya know, the one anyone can get?

Zing79 this is from everybody in life who deserves a chance. YOU SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SET UP THE NEXT TOURNY!!! Why, may ou ask. It isn't, because I hate you, but, because TMyApp said only one tourny at a time and it wouldn't be fair for you to host two in a row.

TarkanX · 11-29-2001, 08:19 AM

there should be preliminaries first, like ewalks tournament to see whcih one should be at a higher rank than the other.

TOC II...apparently my eyes arent as sharp as they usta be...Zing could ya provide a link so we may see your new work?

Charlie: you realize there have been 2 tournaments before mine and they both bombed out right?

Setting up a tournament isn't just saying your going to do it, and then everything will be ok.

I worked my ass off this last tourney, and it STILL had problems. This new one is going to require me to put in some serious time as well.

I don't know if you planned to do one yourself, but my man this isn't something you pull off unless you have ALOT of time on your hands.

I've been the only person so far who has been able to pull of a tournament from start to finish, and one of the mods even held his own tourney without success.

but its nice to know that there's always someone out there who thinks that what you're doing is really easy, so they will be able to do it to:biggrin:

Tarkan/Token: because of the double elimination rule, it wont really matter where your ranked or who you face, you can still lose once and win the tournamant. The whole reason for having it be that way is that the tourney balances itself out it terms of REAL skill when you do that. (btw you know your not allowed to enter this tournament right Tarkan? At least not if you beat Lordcyris)

Token: A little of both. Somehow I don't think people are going to take kindly to *me* assesing skill. But if someone like you who I know is very good isn't in the top 64 and the top 64 actually sign up, the Im not going to leave you out :biggrin:

nosoul4evr: the whole point of it being hidden is that you have to find it to see it, it shouldn't be too hard though. Some ppl have already noticed it, so see if you can pull it off too :biggrin:

TarkanX · 11-29-2001, 10:31 AM

gah!!! I have always enetered tournaments... but oh well... if I beat Lordcyris... but good luck to the other people.

Jr · 11-29-2001, 03:15 PM

Nferno666 · 11-29-2001, 11:53 PM
