Halo 2 Tournament: Brackets Up/ Round One Ready

Hey, I'm perfecting a tournament system in my head right now, but before I try it, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in even participating in a Halo 2 tournament. Just post yes or no and if there's enough feedback, I'll edit the thread and post how I think the set up should be.


UPDATE: Post saying you want in and I'll add you to the list.

OK, I'm still perfecting this system and thinking about voting days so that y'all can have input, but here's what I was thinking. Like stated before, the tournament will be consisted of 1 on 1 matches (that part is solid). I was thinking about a double elimination system. If you lost once, you'd be entered on to the "Losers" bracket, where you'll play others that have lost one match, but once you lose your second match, you're totally out. The winner of the "Losers" bracket will still have a chance to win the tournament if they come out on top of the "Losers" bracket because at that point, they are enabled to play the "Winners" bracket winner ( :lol: ). But of course, if you're still on the "Winners" bracket, that means you haven't lost, so the winner of the "Losers" bracket will have to beat the top "Winners" bracket person twice to knock them out, while vice versa, only once. Now for maps, which is still very controversial to me. I was thinking either we select a few small maps like Ascension, Lockout, and Midship that we play on. Or, the two ppl that play each other decide on their own map as long as they've both agreed. What do y'all think? I'm not sure if I left anything out or if it's not clear--if not, then I'm sorry, post here or PM me to notify me. Ah, hell, I'm just gonna go ahead and make a poll to see what y'all want. Also, I'm in 8th grade and have somewhat of a social life so you might need to wait on me for a couple hours to reply to your PM's/posts. Oh, yeah, one important thing. As of right now, there is no more deadline and I'm thinking of pushing back the dates of playing till after Christmas because of everyone leaving for Christmas vacation. More on that tommorow.

OK, taking from the poll, there will be a set choice of maps. I was thinking Midship and Lockout, possibly Ascension. I've ditched the double elimination and gone with a single elimination system now that we have 32 players exactly, meaning I will be taking no more entries. I'm still iffy on banning of the swords/rocket launchers, so I'll have a poll on that. I'll try to set up the brackets today and if you can't play till after Christmas because of vacation, that's fine.


UPDATE / 01-23-05: Here's the brackets:



UPDATE / 12-22-04: The official deadline for the first round of matches if January 8th. That'll give you a week and a day after New Year's to get your match over with.

Depends what days/times we would play. But yes, I am interested...

yea sure

Yeah, I'd do it...But would it be 1 on 1 matches or small team matches?

Yeah, I would be intrested.

im interested

I would do it...as long as it is small teams.

I'm game.

[quote name='Arikado']I'm game.[/quote]

Damnit! Now I have no chance of winning. :x

heh is this limited to clan members only? If not I'll play

I'm in... given that I'm not at work or school when it goes down. Could be fun

Sounds good.

OK, here's the plan. I was thinking about making it a 1 on 1 tournament. I could set up a deadline for entries and then we could set up the ladders. Sound good?

Put me on the list

OK, the deadline for entries will be the 14th (Tuesday) at 7:00 PM. Just post saying you want in and I'll put you on the list.

Yeah, one on one is best. No blaming your team if you lose that way.

I need to get x-box live. Thing is I'm never home to play. Oh well.

OK, here's what I have so far:

spyhunterk19
Pylis
Skylander7
jlarlee
Arikado
xenoman80
zewone
O.D.D
Ugamer_X
murcielago
Rig
XboxMaster

If anyone needs to be taken off, PM me. I will continue adding people as more entries are posted.

I'm in too.

Is there going to be certain rules for the game? As in certain maps or no swords/rockets or anything?

i'm in, i guess

im in as long as there isnt a game next wed. or thurs for me (exams)

Im In, this could be fun and interesting

I am down

I'm probably in, I get XBL for Christmas, but I'll probably be over my friends house next Saturday playing Halo 2 online.

Damn, count me out. I have finals that night. !

I'm in.

Hell Yes that be awsome !

Let's go.

Im in.

I would like to enter, but I have dial up, so I can't play. BTW, I think there should be a prize for the winner.

I'm in for it.

I'd suggest putting the updated lists in the first post.

Also, I'd like to see a rule set and map list.

[quote name='zewone']Is there going to be certain rules for the game? As in certain maps or no swords/rockets or anything?[/quote]

I wasn't talking to myself. :x

Sign me up please.

also could you add the 77 to the end of my name. Everyone else with numbers in their name has them in the list so i feel left out

One on one? I'm so in.

Toss me in as well, I'd be interested.

How do threads like this get by me?

We were tryin' to keep it from you.

I suppose that means that I'm pretty good, or pretty irritating. :lol:

I vote for the latter, having never played against you. I'm sure the former applies as well, and if there's holes in my head, that would prove it. :lol:

Update

Are you open to suggestions? How about we do a bracket style tournament? All you need to have are 32 players and you should be able to do a single elimination type of tournament. I made a picture as an example of what I'm talking about. You would have 2 divisions with the second one being just liked the one pictured below except it would be reversed. The maps I put in the pic are just used for an example, those could be changed. I figure you could randomly place 32 people into each slot and the tourney could go from there. This way everyone would play the same maps for the same round and everything would be fairly balanced. Tell me what you think. (sorry for the shoddy pic, it didn't turn out the way I expected)

Put me on the list

I vote for single elimination and a set map for each round and no swords/rockets. But thats just me. I would love to hear some of your opinions.

Sorry, but I'm gonna make the double elimination permanent. It's a lot better so that the tournament won't be so quick. Also, I'm not so sure about banning rockets/swords. I mean, both aren't impossible to withstand, although very hard, they're still part of the game. I'll allow the current poll to go on till tommorow and then we'll choose the set maps if we need to.
