Title: GTM Olympics Discussion
Post by: Reier on February 13, 2010, 12:30:35 PM: (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36641RA2olympicz.png)
Ok, I was watching the Olympics beginning thing lately, and I got an idea. I know Sage/Zog had some ideas for a “world tourney” thing a while back but it never took off. So I thought to take that a tiny bit further and make a full-fledged “RA2 Olympics” (or a DSLympics :P).

The Rules are pretty much like this:
-It will be arranged so every country gets either one representative or every country gets two. Before the tourney, each country decides who will represent them in the championship by a mini-tourney or a vote- it will be up to each country to decide how they choose. The winners will represent their respective nations in the tourney itself.
-Each competitor sends in one bot of the weight-class that will be specified (IE, DSL MW or something). The tourney will compose of several events, like KOTH, Death match, etc., and the bots will compete in each one.
-The winners of each event will get a prize. Also, all the KOs/WBP/TKOs have respective point values (IE a KO has 3 pts, a WBP has 1). All the country’s rankings will be added up for another prize for the overall winner.

I'm doing NW3 at the moment, however I might do this in the future. It would be a pretty big event, and it's possible that multiple people would have to host it.

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

Love the idea.
Title: Re: GTM Olympics Discussion
Post by: Reier on February 13, 2010, 12:32:40 PM: I dunno yet.

I was thinking- it might be a better idea for each country to send in 3 bots (3 competitors), like one for each event. Not sure...

That's what I'm trying to decide.
Say there are 3 events: KOTH, Deathmatch, and Tabletop. The US would send 1 competitor for each event, IE Urjak for KOTH, Sage for Deathmatch, and MikeNCR for TT. Someone like Germany would send Thyrus (I think he's the only german) to compete in only one event, like TT. However the total points system will have to be revised if we do it that way, but I think this way might be better than what I wrote on the front page.

GK:
Correct. You will have to be from your real life country, however I don't know how to keep people from lying.

Title: Re: GTM Olympics Discussion
Post by: JoeBlo on February 13, 2010, 08:00:46 PM: it actually sounds like the tournament me and sage started making/ planning ... the International League

we were going to allow multiple people to host a portion of the tournament so it could have different rounds in different countries. but myself and Sage were working on our own tournaments at the time, hence the no activity

if you want to host one/ manage one yourself we can just go with that, I have a too larger workload right now to manage another large tournament :P

sounds fun though.

I don't see why they wouldn't use that method, seeing as how like half the forum comes from either the US or UK. If they do allow it I think I'm the only person with Irish heritage here so I could do that.

I would have said that's still part of the Netherlands. But then you, Rolo and PR could compete in 1 event each.

DSL HW
All countries entered with more that 3 people available to compete must have 3 different users make entries, but if it is a country with only 1 user in it, he can enter bots in more than one event if he wishes.

PS: Im not dancing with you Thyrus ;)

PS 2: If this tourney happens, it will most likely go down as one of the biggest tourneys ever and probably one of the best.
