Scrum Tournament Starting
by Azazel · in ThinkTanks · 10/22/2003 (4:48 pm) · 124 replies
I'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

I know there are guys that don't know about the tourney. Thats how I got Destroyer last night. Kentucky Hillbilly didn't know and left immediately after I filled him in. I a got the impression he was coming here. I know it took a while for the last couple of teams though. Are people asking other players online?

Yeah, Im sure that we can get a couple more teams. I had tried Dementus, but he's out of town or something.... I bet he'd be up for it. KHB would be a good addition. Let's do some weekend recruiting. It's only 4 more people!LC50

I agree BABA. If someone with a bye wins the tourney it might not sit well with some. If everyone asks while playing this weekend I can't imagine not coming up with a couple more teams.

Ben check the online games. There are good players that don't come to the boards here. Everyone here seems to be matched up. I don't think Dementus is around, though I'm not sure. I know Kentucky Hillbilly is a very good player who may want to play.

I talked to Sherm online and he seemed interested. Didn't get his e-mail though he said he'd been to the forums before.

We're ready to go with 14 teams but 2 teams will have a bye in one round. If we get 16 teams it would even the play round wise.
You want to wait for 2 more teams or draw up the ladder now and get on with the show?
As the ladder will be seeded randomly the teams earning the bye will be randomly chosen as well.
Sounds good btw Tally.
Thx Sluggy for helping out.
