WE ARE DONE! :whee:

To avoid cluttering up the other threads with tournament talk I decided to start a new thread.

As some/many of you know GGL and Sony is having a Warhawk Tournament.
Since no one else seemed to be doing so, I decided to make a team for CheapAssGamer.

If you'd like to join just follow these steps. Boosters are NOT required to participate.
  1. Join The Global Gaming League.
  2. Set your PSN ID in your GGL profile. To do so just click where it says "None entered" then click save after you're done.
  3. Join team CheapAssGamer. Use join code "wipeout".
  4. Make sure you're in the Warhawk Team Tournament Group.
  5. I'd appreciate if everyone would post a schedule as to when they'll be able to play. It'll work better if everyone could post what, if any, times are good for them when we have challenges.
That's it, you should be ready to go. Feel free to add any/all of your fellow team members to your GGL friend list.

What do we get for doing this you ask.
Well for everyone that participates, you get a new knife skin (GGL-Ceremonial Knife)

In addition, if we happen to come in first place we'd get an exclusive knife skin (Champion's Blade) and up to 16 team members would get one of these six inch Warhawk statues.

If we were to win... well I don't know how we'd divide the statues... We'll have to figure that out later.

The basic rules of the ladder tournament are as follows.
  • We start out with 1000 points.
  • We get 80 points for a forfeit win, 100 points for a regular win.
  • We get 20 points for playing and losing.
  • We lose 25 points if we don't respond to a challenge.
  • We lose 50 points if we forfeit a match.
  • If we go 7 days without playing a match we are marked inactive and lose 100 points. We continue losing 100 points every 7 days until we play another match.
  • When we are challenged we have three days to either accept the challenge or propose different times.
  • We can only challenge the same team once every 7 days.
  • We can only challenge teams that are 10 spots above us or 5 spots below us OR 20% of our points above us or 10% of our points below us.
  • Ladder matches are for a single round.
After the ladder stage is complete, the top 32 teams will be placed into a single elimination bracket, based on current ladder standing. Bracket matches are best of three rounds. GGL will assign completion times for all the bracket matches. Teams can compete any time until the completion time.

When challenged we will be given three possible dates/times for a match. I'll post here and change the thread title when challenged and when matches are scheduled to make it easy for everyone to see.
Squad size for a challenge is something that can be negotiated, default is 8v8, but I suspect it could be as low as 4v4.

The following counts as a forfeit.
  • Not showing up for a match.
  • Showing up later than 10 minutes of the scheduled time (SO SHOW UP EARLY!).
  • If the host loses connection during a match.
  • Attempting to play by a rule set other than the one laid out by GGL.
  • Using glitches. This may result in a player or team banning from the tournament.
The rule set GGL has laid out is as follows.

Schedule. Matches will only last at most 30 minutes (20 for game time and 10 for the arrival window).
Who knows how long a match will last... Maybe 30 minutes, maybe an hour.

Challenges Issued to Us - Please Post Which Days are Best.

None

Challenges We've Issued - No Need to Post, Just Keep it in Mind.

None

Scheduled Matches - Please Post if you can make it and Show Up.


None
 
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its ON!


I'd appreciate if everyone would post a schedule as to when they'll be able to play.

I can really play anytime as long as I get a good heads up at least 2 weeks ahead of time, but I do not think it will work out like that.

For now the times I can make it without a doubt are

Sun - night
Mon - night
Tues - morning
Wed - morning
Thurs - morning
Fri - night
Sat - night

I divide my morning/night up by pre-3:30pm and post 3:30pm (since I either go in to work at 3 or am off at 3).
 
My schedule. All times are EDT

Mon - 8pm - 12am
Tue - 8pm - 12am
Wed - 8pm - 12am
Thu - 8pm - 12am
Fri - 8pm - 12am
Sat - 6pm - 12am
Sun - 2pm - 4pm and/or 8pm - 12am

EDIT: I'm fine with any of the times to play Red Dragon.
 
Hell yeah! Like SoCal said... It's OONN! :whistle2:x

As for my schedule... I can do pretty much anytime in the afternoon/evening, so you guys don't have to worry about me not being able to attend any of these games. :)
 
I can't make the 22nd or 25th. The 23rd is a possibility if I hurry home from work, but hopefully the official games won't all start at 6PDT because I can't make it a habit.

My schedule is roughly:
MTWRF - 7PM - 12AM Pacific
Sat/Sun - open
 
Well I only can make it to the May 23 2008 9:00PM EDT match,

I'm usually avail: Pacific

Mon: 3-10pm
Tues: 7-10pm
Wed: 3-8pm
Thurs: 7-12pm
Fri: all day

But finals are approaching and I won't be as available in the next few weeks.
 
Joined the WH Team Tournament group. I guess Thurs or Friday work best for me. Friday is most preferred since BSG isn't on that evening :)

Wow. That site is such a fucking eyesore and a complete mess to navigate. Well it will be cool to get a different knife so I signed up and I think I got every joined correctly.

My schedule is pretty free since its the summer, and I'm pretty free for the next month or so (except for a couple of short trips). So any time is good.

As far as this first game the 25th would probably work best for me since I'm going to be visiting some friends this weekend.
 
[quote name='mguiddy']Schedule. Matches will only last at most 30 minutes (20 for game time and 10 for the arrival window).

We've been challenged by team Red Dragon.
The suggested times arePlease let me know what time would work for everyone. Personally, I'll only be able to make it to the May 25th time. If these won't work for anyone, let me know when will work and I'll propose them to the other team.[/quote]

For this challenge, I can only make the 22nd.
 
[CAG] DaNaD: i'm joining the GGL right now. count me in to play on the 23 or 25 for sure.
can't do the 22 b/c i'm graduating
 
All right, I joined and I sent a friend request to everyone on the team.

As for the matches, are they TDM, CTF, Zones.... ?
Also, how are we going to balance the teams?

I think we need at least a little coordination on who's going to take the flag, who will give aerial support, tank support, turrets, etc. before going into matches

I'm excited, and I know we can take this tourny

[/QUOTE]

I could've sworn I joined that group already. I'll give it another go.

My schedule:
-Tue-Sat, available after 9pm Central (8:30 if I rush at work)
-Sun-Mon, available all day
 
[quote name='bornrunnin31']I should be good with anything after 7:30pm EST

Was just looking at the team roster, and I don't think cthulhu can play, he's canadian :cry:[/quote]
Crap... I could have sworn it said it was open to US and Canada...
:cry:
Sorry... cthulhu... go back to R'lyeh and wait this one out.;)

And I don't think people posting schedules will work as I originally thought (as it's hard to say "Yeah, I'll be available Friday nights from now until the end of July"), from now on if people could just post which of the challenged scheduled times are good for them. You can still post what general nights are good for you if you want, but the other thing is more important... I think.

Man... this is sure going to be a headache for me. :lol: I don't know how we'll manage to challenge anyone.
 
The rule set GGL has laid out allows for team switching? :whee:
Huhh? whhaaa? :whistle2:o

Oh, and mguiddy... It ain't 'feakyzeeky', you might want to edit that sometime... ;)
 
I'm available on:

May 23 - 9:00 pm EDT
and
May 25 - 7:00 pm EDT


Mguiddy (DD83), let me know if you need help with getting stuff organized

That may be because they suggest switching sides to discuss lag issues before the official match begins.

And... I don't know what you're talking about.:whistle2:\"

It's Zones only.

As for balancing the teams... I want to have everyone play at least once once the real ladder begins, so that (hopefully) they'll get the knife. After that, I figure once we figure out who can make it, if there are extra players, I'll let them decide who's going to sit it out. No one knows better how well they play than themselves.

Also... It seems I can change any number of people to team leaders... I'll make DaNaD a team leader since he offered to help, if anyone else want to be a leader, let me know. I guess they'll be able to challenge and accept challenges and stuff.
 
[quote name='freakyzeeky']The rule set GGL has laid out allows for team switching? :whee:

Yeah, I saw that too. That makes zero sense.

Out of the 3 days proposed, I can only make Sunday. If the games Thursday/Friday were an hour later, I could make them.
 
[quote name='freakyzeeky']The rule set GGL has laid out allows for team switching? :whee:
Huhh? whhaaa? :whistle2:o[/quote]

I think since they'll be clan servers, we'll be stuck on one side anyway. If not though, let me be the first to volunteer to switch sides and sabotage their war effort. :D Mmm, 100% friendly fire.
 
Alright, so far we've got.

22nd - Six (five if darkenpsy isn't in the clan yet) possible
23rd - Eight possible
25th - Ten possible

I'll wait until Tuesday to accept the challenge, as the 23rd and the 25th are neck and neck. But it does look like it will be on the 25th... I'll probably do a lot of zone games on the clan night on the 24th.

I repeat, I think this is why team switching is enabled.
Lag Test Round and Internet Issues: Due to the unpredictable nature of the Internet, it is highly recommended that teams mix players (i.e. In a 4v4, 2 members from each team per side) so they can communicate about the connection and start a test game for about two full minutes to test the host’s connection and make sure the game settings are correct (spawn times, capture points, etc.). If a host is unacceptable, continue testing connections until one can be found. Once the official match has started, any lag issues that arise are to be considered out of players control and the match should continue as normal.
I know you were joking, but switching teams during the official match would probably result in a forfeit and/or banning.

And I'm pretty sure clan servers only limit what players can join, not what team they are on...

Crap, if darkerpsy isn't in the clan yet I better not count his vote for the play time...

Keep that in mind when you're TOWing people. I'm looking at you DaNaD.;):lol:

Yea, under 100% friendly fire, I'll just go looking for the sneaky stragglers.
However, if I see all 8 Red Dragons and 1 CAG.... i just might let one fly. :whee:
 
Ok guys, let's refamiliarize ourselves with the standard maps, since there's no boosters in the ladder matches

Map Pool:
Archipelago (Acropolis Assault)
Archipelago (Southern Islands)
The Badlands (Skirmish)
Destroyed Capitol (King of the Hill)
Eucadia (Valley Battle)
Eucadia (High vs Low)
Island Outpost (Installation)
Island Outpost (Over The Bridges)
Island Outpost (Bridge Out)
 
Hey mguiddy, are we able to challenge other teams while we have a pending challenge?

Only asking, b/c I figured we could get two matches to play Red Dragon on one and another team the other, so that all our teammates can get play time

[/quote]

I don't see why not.

In fact... I could see this being won by a team that challenges everyone they can every seven days.

I just saw the rankings for all the teams... Seeing the current numbers (1120 pts. being 1st place as of now), I agree that we can easily overtake them if we played every week. I know it's still the 'Practice Ladder' period, but looking to the top from where we are are now, it's hard not to feel optimistic about our chances of winning when the Competition Ladder starts... Here's hoping that our team will do well. :grouphug:
 
[quote name='freakyzeeky'] :grouphug:[/quote]


Watch where you put your hands... no wonder they call you 'freaky' :shame:

But in all seriousness, we'll take this tourny and i'll only use the champion blade in all future CAG nights
 
[quote name='dkim064']How come we can't challenge anyone right now?
Is it because of our pending request/acceptance?
[/quote]

Does it not give you the "Challenge Me" option under the "Ladder" tab here?
Maybe only the squad leader can accept/make challenges.
I don't see an option to add additional squad leaders though...
If you let me know who you want to challenge I'll do it. Just let me know the date/times too.
I tested and I can get to the page where I'd have to select the date/time, but didn't want to submit until I found out who/when you had in mind.

Also note that out of all the teams, only four have a W/L record for the past month. So obviously no one is actually playing during the practice ladder.
But yeah, I'd be thrilled to get to the bracket.

[quote name='dkim064']Also, I wanna stick it to team WAR! since they got bitchy when I turned down their clan invite. [/quote]
Didn't someone from WAR show up this past Friday or Saturday? Did they invite you before or after?
 
I could've sworn I saw someone from a [WAR] clan play, but I wasn't sure if they played in the CAG nights or not... I thought I was the only one thinking this; glad I'm not crazy. :D
 
And, in an effort to get DaNaD as a secondary squad leader (as I think only squad leaders (not team leaders) can make/accept challenges)... somehow I got him removed from the squad roster and can't get him back. :oops:
I made a thread in the Admin Help! forum so hopefully they'll get it fixed.

This website is freaky crazy.
 
22nd works for me. I agree that we need to challenge/play as many matches as possible. What are the minimum players needed for a match? Because it would be a good idea to have smaller matches during the week that we can throw together last minute, and larger, more scheduled matches on weekends...
 
This 'crazy website' will also work to our advantage as well, since it's confusing as fuck to get anything done there... This means less teams to worry about! ;)
 
I think since only one person is allowed to register, only you can accept or challenge, mguiddy. Unless, there's a lag with the update of me now being a team leader.

As for the WAR! clan, they sent me an invite because I used to be in a clan PurpleHaze and -VS- with a couple of them, and I rejected because I moved onto CAG (which is where i will stay)

I just checked GGL, and they still have me down as team leader and I show up in my roster.

That website, is indeed, shaq fu'd up

Such compliments! I don't think i can ever TOW you again after this Freaky...
I have a lot of fun playing on CAG nights, and I think we have a lot of good players, including you freaky.

Mguiddy, i checked again and i know what you're talking about. I don't show up on the Competition Roster, but there is a option to add me on the bottom left (which doesn't work)
 
Okay, I was looking at some of the teams we might challenge and I noticed that they're in the ladder rankings but they don't have enough members. What happens if we challenge these bums? Here's a few from the first page with the number of members in parenthesis.

Detonators (4)
Bumpagiggles (1)
KAIZEN (1)
Noob World Order (2)
War ends now (2)
 
Okay, I was fiddling around with that horrid website and I challenged Team Bumpagiggles just to see if it works, or not.

I proposed May 23,24,25 all at 7pm.


Uhhh... ignore this. I fuck'd up
 
Challenge all of them so we can rack up some free points!! This is gonna be hype. I need to get back in Warhawk mode again.
