'Sugar Bush' Tournament

from Sins Forums

"Sugarbush, come dance with me..."

With one weekend left before the next and last expansion, lets give Entrenchment a good send-off with a final 1v1 tournament this Saturday.

The map will be 'Storm Front', a set map so that everyone has it, and there is no disadvantage due to the random map.

I will be around throughout Saturday to administrate and hand out matches.  No 0-0 records, if you must smurf produce a used one.  The only games that count towards victory will be ones with replays that I have been able to download and watch, and I'll ignore early quits.  Hopefully we might get a few replays from this- or perhaps at least one!

You should also accept auto-saves that clearly demonstrate one player has won the game, since replays of longer matches can fail to save.

Though the expansion has been released early to the beta owners I'm still going to run this last Entrenchment 1v1 invitational on ICO tomorrow.  My replays are working, it seems, and I'm on the latest version.

I'll post when the competition begins and ends, it won't be knockout so you can join in at any time.  The replays are a large part of the attraction of the tournament though, so they stay as the means of determining victories.  I'll be using the 'Colosseum' rules, so points will be awarded to valiant losers in valid replays.  Well if it was good enough for the Roman Empire, it should be good enough for us...  Maybe auto-save could break any tie, in the unlikely event of there being one? 

If the mutterings in the Elite Warlords Club about the 'new chef' are to be believed, then it might be time for some Entrenchment 1v1 anyway, while we await 'adjustments' to MP....

I've set up a tournament admin account on ICO which will be there for the rest of the day.  Register for the tournament with a a mesage to this account, and I'll send out a matchup when there is one available.

When you've finished a game, upload the replay to somewhere like datafilehost.com for me to download before the next match.  I won't be able to watch replays today, but I'll try to post the results tomorrow.

Well- maybe a 1v1 night not such a good plan with the new patch out then?

The original concept was that as I had stuff to do I would merely encourage 1v1 matches from ICO, however hardly anyone seemed keen and as I finished early I opened up a 1v1 myself.  I played one match against an Advent who went for starbases very early, and then.. not much really, waited around and players would appear then disappear and join a 4s or 5s.

So unless anyone was really looking forward to Storm Front 1v1 tonight.. that's it.  At least StarP got a few matches going without having to play in them himself, I suppose he wins!
