When I say different, I mean were going to run the TF2 embedded mp_tournament mode instead of the clan ready signal like we were doing. This will help keep the games down to a fairly predictable time limit if the teams are balanced. Were going to limit it to CP and PL maps to test.
Using mp_tournament mode, the general goal for each map type is as follows. CP (STOPWATCH) MAPS All stopwatch maps will be scored using the best of three format. Each round, both teams will attack and defend. The first team to win two rounds, will win the match. Quickest cap time (or more points) wins the round. PL (PUSH) MAPS Same rules as CP Maps. Quickest cap time (or more points) wins the round. First team to win two rounds wins the match. Its rather hard to explain it all so I want to get you all familiar with it and test it out on Captains Night to prepare it for 3-PG Bowl so be sure to let us know if there are ways to improve it. Maybe Wurm or Rocksee can explain it better but I'm sure when we all get in game you all will figure it out rather quickly. The scoring interface and feedback from the tournament mode is pretty descriptive to tell you what you gotta do so I'm confident you'll figure it out quickly. Basically I just want to get some feedback on maps were going to play and get some Captains lined up in advanced. Please help suggest some CP and PL maps you would like to play or Captain next Saturday 9/5/09. -------------------- "Kevlar vests never fail.

@Kevlar - We should include start words in text chat when the cpts are ready. I know readyocaptain is not necessary with mp_tourney mode, but we should still include it for the parser (so I can debug prior to the 3-pg bowl). ROUNDSTART or KICKASS or KEVLARISMYDADDAY are all applicable. As long as someone (1 person) types it out at the beginning of the match so the parser picks up on it.

I've always noticed that cp_granary is an extremely fair and balanced map leaving the outcome to the team. Even Deathmatch scenarios pan out well.

I like the idea. This should make it go a little faster. Same Bat time, same Bat channel? -------------------- If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

QUOTE (cpRULE @ Sep 5 2009, 01:44 PM) how would i get in on this? get on teamspeak (ts.3ptgames.com) half an hour before captain's night begins (it starts at 10pm est). You need to have a mic if you want to be a captain, but if you don't then you may only be a team member. Most importantly, listen to the admins before the event begins and listen to your captain once it does. fucking around isn't an option. -------------------- |

Thanks everyone who joined. We had a perfect turnout to fill the server up. Thanks for putting up with the tournament mode glitches. It was valuable information to help us run the 3-PG Bowl.
Were giving everyone who attended an extra 5 Gamer Capital for attending (30 GC) and an extra 10 for the Captains got9lives and hkmachine. -------------------- "Kevlar vests never fail. If somebody gets shot while wearing them and dies, Kevlar just fuckin' hated that guy."
