Tri-Mode Tournament #1 (Brainstorming)

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to know if there is interest in a CTF cup where you have to play in all three modes (vanilla/all weapons, overkill and insta).
If there is enough interest, I might organize one.

Teamsize: 2-4 players, depending on interest
Modus: probably double elimination (bo1 for looser bracket, bo3 for winner bracket for each mode)
Timelimit: around 10 mins
Capture Limit: 5 for vanilla, 7 for overkill and insta

Since it would take rather long, I think teams should organize when they want to have their matches like in XDL except for semifinals/finals.

So 1 map Vanilla, 1 map Overkill, 1 map Insta or how does it work??
Interesting..

We can still think about it, but I thought that you have to win 2 of the 3 modes and every mode would be bo1/bo3.
So:
3 maps vanilla, 3 maps overkill, 3 maps insta in the winners bracket
1 maps vanilla, 1 maps overkill, 1 maps insta in the loosers bracket

This will probably take quite some time, so maybe only 1 map per mode if ppl can't find that much time.

Ah nice!

I suppose mode/mappicking could be like this:

1. Cointoss
   
2. Cointoss winner picks first mode, cointoss loser picks second mode
   
3. Cointoss loser drops/picks first map, cointoss winner drops/picks second map
   

BOT would be in for sure. 3v3, 4v4 possible.

interesting idea, but playing up to 9 maps in one match sounds a bit... too much

i'm in! martin-t seems to be in too, we may present a wtwrp team

Interesting indeed. I'd prefer 2v2, that might be easier to organize as there really are a lot of games to play.

We can offer two servers if needed.

I'm also interested.

I agree that up to 9 maps per round are quite many, so if we actually do bo3 for every mode, we should shorten these matches. Something like 10min timelimit and 5 caps for vanilla, 7 caps for ok/insta.
Also ppl should be able to do the different modes on different days if they want to.

Another question would be about the mappool. 1 mappool for everything, or a different one for every mode? (I would prefer different mappools)

I might be interested in participating

About the mappool, I agree with you about differentiating them.

It should be different, for example lostspace is never played in vanilla or some insta maps don't even have proper items(?)

Different map pools should definitely be considered. How about three polls?

Yes, let's open three polls. I can create them, just need to know which maps for Insta and Overkill.

And while we're at it, we should agree on a team size, so we can let people sign up.
I guess 2v2 is best. Only 4 players have to find a date where they can play and less trouble if someone in a 4v4 team disappears for example.

I can suggest some of the most played Overkill maps:

- Dance
- Recratemini
- Tarx
- Go
- Implosion
- Theta
- Space Elevator
- Aviation
- Skycastle

Hi, I am interested in joining the tourney .
