Well the matchs are 10 Man domination. After timing and watching the test matchs we had they lasted on average about 10 minutes but that always depends on whos playing and who dies quickiest! all the First round will be fought at the same time!

Can everyone wishing to attend on sunday please make sure you have updated your Test Server. It has a patch that isnt currently on live at the moment. Wouldnt want you to be late for your fights
Well then you'd get 1 team too many in the next round.. Plus eventually they wont add up at the top either. This is a bit nasty problem tbh. But I dont care as long as I get to fight

The traditional way to solve the problem is to give everyone a random seeding. Seeing as there are 17 teams the 2 lowest seeded teams would be the only 2 to play in the first round and everyone else gets a bye to the second round.

The way I solved this problem when organising console fighting game tournaments here in Finland (Tekken,virtua fighter et al) was making 2 or 4 (or any suitable amount actually) qualification groups where people played round robin (everybody plays everybody). Then among the best players from each round robin bracket I took correct amount of players with most points to make a suitable single elimination bracket for the final, top4, top8 or top16.
This format is very nice because everybody gets to play multiple matches even if they lose all and it can accommodate any amount of players. It is also very democratic. Bad thing is that the round robins can take a lot of time and therefore this format might be too much for COH, with 10 minute matches. By balancing qualification group sizes with how many groups there are, the total time can be kept under control. The amount of matches in a round robin bracket of size x is
= (x-1)+(x-2)+...+(1). But the qualification groups can be played out at the same time (actually in COX, all matches of same round can be played at same time).
Im not trying to push this idea, but I thought to voice it because of the occasion
EDIT: actually there can be byes in this system, duh.
to carry on the convo.
im not sure everyone will turn up first but in this situ wats best solution?
Has anyone had a go at arena on test since the Halloween patch?
I remember another event a while ago on test that had to be canned because of a patch on there which caused arena problems so may be worth someone checking it first.
Sod's law that a patch comes just a s big test event is planned
Right, i will probably be able to make it on sunday at 6 but not for very long so if possible i want to fight ASAP. In the event i cannot make it this sunday due to other people need to work then as they work best on sunday evenings, proposterous isnt it, then is it a possible for a re-schedule of who i was supposed to fight?
Its a one night deal... everyone fights on that night to stop it growing old and people forgetting about it. Kicks off at 6 pm and will go on till its finished..
I dont know about arena, but I have had serious connection problems since friday. The game locks me out of defiant for hours without any sane reason. I cant get onto defiant right now, nor could I log on this morning. At some point this afternoon I could but this is impossible. This tourney is on test server though, and so far I havent had trouble there, but who knows.

I've not noticed anything massively untoward since the last patch on Test, all seems to be functioning as well as it ever is. Guess we'll find out tomorrow if there are any bugs.
