Hey, it has been a long time since the last bball and soldier tournament and I was hoping to arrange something similar in the coming months. I am posting in hopes for ideas regarding each tournament. I would buy a few servers for a few months and hopefully get a forum up or site with ladders. Not sure about a prize yet, maybe money depending on the amount of people signed up.
Last Bball tournament lasted quite a few games from what I remember. I would like to make it soldiers only, as saying demoman can not use stickies would be hard because nobody would review the demos to make sure they didn't etc.. Shotguns will be allowed and most caps of course wins the match. Pretty much a team 3v3 and anyone can sign up. Pretty simple. Maps would be ctf_bball and possibly stadium. Matches would be scheduled and if not played on that day it would be a forfeit, inless they talked to me.
I would like to create a more open tournament to classes this time around besides soldier. There will be a soldier one, but I would hopefully like to add another class and have a hard time deciding which one to choose. Demoman seems alright, snipers would be okay I suppose considering the good ones out there, scouts would be alright but very short, and the others?.. If I remember the maps used on the last soldier tournament I can hopefully get smaller scale maps in play.
Anyways, post ideas and maps if you have any. If you have any other tournament ideas feel free. Even if it is pyro dodgeball. Thanks.
For the bball tournament, try to get a mod or something that limits shotgun clip size to 1 or 2 shots, so you don't get people spamming shottie from one side of the map to the other. Or just take out the shotgun all together.
Probably wouldn't do ammomod because the tournment is mainly based around skill and smarts. Though ammomod does put some of those in play, it really is about the current area of the player and what they will do to win. Such as a granary midd and both healthpacks on the container would be available to use. Or a completely new enviroment (map) that a player has to adapt to on the go and will create hopefully a better duel. One soldier map did that before from what I remember. At least imo^.
#4 imo, most people that spam from across the court with shotgun generally are worthless at bball or weak on health. Either way, any regular bball player can one or two rocket direct and shotgun to kill. Any fast moving player going into the goal usually doesn't get knocked out of line with a shotgun inless they are right above the goal coming down. So shotguns being allowed opens up both bball skills of a player and dm skills going into play of the match or game.
Yea ammomod is definitely more for practice. It can also tend to be pretty random (but not in all cases)... I can win with 300HP left and then the next round I get beaten with the other guy having 500HP left.
make a bball tourny but it should only be 2v2, 3v3 gets a bit spammy, but major props for the idea I think if europe leagues can organize this stuff we can lol
mmm.. max 1 demo per team... it's not that hard to say whether or not someone was using stickies for anything but jumping... recording a demo does a good job of it.
I'd say 2v2, either 2 sollies or 1sol/1demo (nothing else allowed), no shotties/sticks... shotties ruin bball. if you're out of rockets, tough shat
Demos ruin bball significantly more than shotguns. It's pretty rare that a shotty will actually stop someone from scoring unless they were already extremely low, people just rage at the guys who spam 6 shots across the map before pulling out rockets. Every time I join a euro bball server with a demo on each team it blows, at least for everyone other than the demo. It's substantially harder to midair a demo that is assuming he doesnt just sticky the midfield and sit under the net with pipes, waiting for the opposing demo to try and score while the soldiers circle jerk.
You know what is fun? Ammomod bball, but only if both teams are near the same skill level. About 600 health each is the nice amount. Puts far more pressure on air shots, and you feel so good when you hit the quad airshot keeping them off the basket. :3
Only problems with pro_bball, and Jelly will agree with me, is the entirely walled area and the huge skybox.
If you're going to do a bball tourney, I'd reccomend the following. 2v2, Soldier Only, Shottie is fine, but if the backboard could be made in ctf_bball2 like pro_bball that'd be better.
Stopping backboarding would be great, but nothing will ever stop the people that wait until you're close to scoring then shoot across the rim. Those people airshot like champs.
CommunityFortress.com could host this tournament, eX960, if you want a site to post stuff on. We could use the forums for team/roster management + organization purposes and you could post news/important stuff on the front page. The vBulletin system has some sort of tournament plugin I believe that we could check out maybe.
bball isn't about crazy awesome airshots and shit. whats everyone whining about. its about trying to get the flag into the cap zone (ball into the basket). that's it. if you can't handle that, don't play :(.
We have already talked to litany from AIgaming, and he has agreed to provide us with servers, voice servers if needed, and web space to host it. Just ironing out the detials with eX^ now. I was thinking next weekend/ the following weekend.

And what the hell is ctf_bball stadium?
idiot.

+frag for this idea.
+frag
Keep tossing out ideas about other 1v1's than soldier and potential maps. Thanks!

no gay backboard crap
