Students? Friday and Saturday nights are for people who have money.

In a similar vein (and incidentally: hi everyone, I'm not dead and I'm still around to school you o/), I'm really opposed to the idea of all matches having to take place on one day - for people who have real commitments (i.e. not students), it's harder to schedule everything around one PvP match at a set time. I'm not the first person to say it, I won't be the last - but I am the most eloquent and I am a [censored] legend (and you know to pay me attention by now ) - but I'd appreciate a little flexibility in the setting of matches, such as giving people time-windows to fight in. If that involves a little more planning and sets things back a little, then so be it - I'd rather see something well-organised with a later date, than something rough around the edges, sooner.

I appreciate the idea and fanfare of an opening night, and the more teams who can fight the better - but not to the point of being exclusionary. If you have to pad out the event, why not throw in some exhibition matches, or similar? That way, there's no pressure on people feeling they have to turn up, and you're not jerking everyone around if you have to alter dates again (and it can happen, even with the best of intentions). You know it makes sense.

Mornin all it was felt a quick update on what current plans are would be appreciated. (please note all plans are subject to approval, and as such change, by GR and crew at this point.)

In order to ease the planning and scheduling of fights a midweek fight night in addition to the weekend ones is being consider along with other possible solutions, more information to follow soon.

Also some question have been about the actual draw of the contest, so heres the current plan (once more subject to change and approval by GR)
Who the fights are between will be planned at the start of the competition, following the closure of registration a tree plotting the entire competition will be drawn up with a first round looking something like
fight A1: team 1 vs team 2
fight 2: 3 vs 4
and so on, later stages will have the appearance of
Fight B1: winner of fight A1 Vs winner of fight A2.

Then each team will be randomly assigned a number by GR and crew, something like
Team 1: Nimmers united
Team 2: Fusion Stalking Allstars
Team 3: Super Stealth Squad
Team 4: Deathstars.

The tree and the number assignment will be done by separate people to assure no possible collusion can take place.

Meaning round 1 would be

Fight 1: Nimmers United Vs Fusion Stalking Allstars (assume Fusion Stalking Allstars win)
Fight 2: Super Stealth Squad Vs Deathstars. (Assume deathstars win)

Round 2 would follow as
Fight 1: Fusion Stalking Allstars Vs Deathstars

With Nimmers united and Super Stealth Squad joining the other side of the tree in the second chance melee's which will work the same way (the competition is double elimination).

All of this is very similar to the original S4 event.

Again this post is just to keep those of you who have been asking “in the loop” and is subject to change and approval by GR and crew.

Syn was the one hovering above the fights emptying full auto's into crowds, and nobody seemed to think to look up to find the source of this death from above.

Original Post updated:

In the prizes section you will find some shiny new purple text.

Say 'Thank you' to Atreid!

Are the prizes Cruiserweight and Featherweight, or just Cruiserweight or...?


 

Posted

Both, although if the same team wins both divisions I reserve the right to re-allocate the Featherweight prizes (most likely to the runner-up).

As it still seems the both teams I belong to still seem to be winning by default, I would like to get a bit more clarification on the matter - our teams have 3 core members that are in both divisions and two that are weight class -specific. Do we count as "the same team" or not?

Trying to keep everyone happy with the schedule of the X4 event is proving very difficult. I liked the idea of multiple fights per night and getting the event out of the way as soon as possible but I can’t see this happening. At the same time, I'd like to avoid a long and drawn out event. I understand completely where people come from when they talk about going to university. This was something all teams had to overcome in S4 also.

On the opening night we will be fighting one round. Possibility of a second round on the same night is all dependant on time. I don’t want a long drawn out night for everyone concerned.

The next round matches will be posted after the opening night and will be fought on the next Saturday/Sunday. If people are unable to attend the sunday night they may, with permission from your opposing team and the judges, fight on the wednesday evening prior to that.

When the time is right :P


Also, i support that time frame KS. I don't want a "tournament" ending in a week, kinda defeats the object
