Scrum Tournament Starting

Http://www.daquilon.com/thinktank/medias/banner1_aza_scrum.jpgI'm starting a two man per team scrum tournament that kicks off Nov 1st. It's a ladder or bracket style competition. Meaning 1 loss and your out. Each match will comprise 2 games making the the total high scoring team the winner of that match.

I'm hoping for about 14-16 teams competing. If we have more entrants, priority will be given to scrum league players and FieldOfScreams Scrum Club players.

I will post the first bracket on Friday the 31st. It will be seeded randomly with all the teams who have registered by Oct 30th. space permitting.

If you're interested, find a teammate and email me, giving me both your tank names. If your looking for a team member you can post here and hook up a team. You can post your teams here too but still please mail me to get entered

Each team must have at least one member that has posted on this thread and have an Email on their profile or post. This is to facilitate people being able to arrange matches in a timely matter

My server will be up daily at certain scheduled times for game play. Games can be hosted on team member servers as well. Rounds start on Saturday and must be complete by the following Thursday.

Here's the schedule of when the FOS server will be up & locked for game play. I can put it up anytime though just let me know.

Sat-Sun 1pm PT - 4pm PST
Mon-Thurs 2pm - 5pm PST

Any questions just post 'em

Hey we got 12 teams! To have an even start we need 16. If not we have to have a prelim round of 2 games with 4 teams as it stands. Lets shoot for 16!

Stimpy I know is looking for a teammate. He's real good player & you may wanna track him down if you wanna join.

Where's Wal & Kid?

I've gotten PW's out to almost every team. Hey OG's my server pw is the same BTW (F.....). If you need the pw mail me at Azazel2@mac.com.

If your unfamiliar with ladder set-ups here's what they look like.

Here I am sitting in the corner with no teammate (gazing at floor shuffling feet). Guess I need to be more civil online.

The only way I know is to click on member names here in the forums.

Actually I just too a look and we can start with an odd number as it stands I think 3 teams will have a bye in the first round. The ladder will be seeded randomly so those teams earning a bye will be chosen randomly as well. Any luck yet stimp? You want to be a reserve player should someone not show in the first round?
