All powers allowed (Lore incarnates banned, all others legal)

All players will start the ladder/Seeding Tournament with 1000 points.
Players who are less than 1000pts after the tournament will have their base points raised to 1000.
If a player changes characters in the ladder they will have their points reset to 1000.
Players may only enter one character in this event
Points will be calculated by an ELO system with an initial k value of 20.



The Seeding Tournament will be 5 rounds of randomly drawn match ups, on Sept 24th at 9pm eastern.

If at the end of 5 rounds there are ties in the ladder, those players will fight each other (one match) with a k value of 6.

Players may only challenge those of a higher rank than they are.

I'm not 100% sure I will be participating in this, I'm not big on dueling, especially after incarnates, and am busy with managing the Freedumb PvP League.

That said Freedom RV is boring, and I would like to meet some of the Victory PvPers.

Also I would be transfering a toon for this if I did participate, from Freedom, probably only 1 if any.

ALSO I'm very very against dueling with incarnates, anyone who challenges me if I participate will be asked if we can duel w/o them almost every time, but rules are rules, I won't turn down challenges if we are using incarnates.

Sorry for the follow up stuff, dunno if that's something that you want or not Masque, just wanted to clarify those things.

Thanks for running this btw Masque, I will talk to people and see if I can convince anyone to sign up from Freedom PvPers I know.

Also I would suggest you signifigantly lower the legal maps... The only maps I consider truly viable dueling maps are Cargo Ship, Graveyard, and Perez. On most of the rest of the maps if people really want to they can just run and hide for 10 mins, which even if you count SD wins as wins, makes for very boring matches.

Yes it definitely is, it's just been a long time since anyone used it, forgot it existed. :/

Since it's going to be best of 3 you can decide it sort of like 8v8 leagues, person being challenged gets 1st map pick, challenger gets 2nd, 3rd map pick could be random or something and just reset until you get 1 of the 4, or you could just in-game dice roll for map pick or something.

It's obviously up to you, that's just how I would do it.

in a 1v1 scenario, the only 1 of those maps that could give a really big advantage is probably Graveyard if someone brings a devs blaster or something and gets a kill, then just webnades and stays on the cliffs or something along those lines. For the rest of the 4, the advantages to certain builds is very slight.

1 more suggestion is to add a rule against spawn killing... I guarantee you if you don't explicitly ban it in some shape or form, people will exploit it, I believe the queue attack/follow dead body bug still works, and there are plenty of other ways to get around the initial phase timer.

Sorry I will let you do your thing, all in all it's a great idea, I just like to throw in my opinion.

Glad to see you giving it a try Stru, let me know if I can help in anyway- build advice, tips, practices and such.


Kat- yeah feedback and suggestions are always appreciated and welcomed. The reason I was going for all (incarnate) powers is that the people who were asking me for this 1v1 duel ladder typically fight with those powers active. I just finished up a boot camp session where we fought team based pvp and we did actually ban all incarnate (except alpha to t2) for that event.

The maps I really wanted to leave random and to minimize resets. In some of the past events I ran people would often pick maps that were very advantageous to their specific build (closed map, or open, limited height, etc) Since this event is open to all ATs and powers I thought it would be good to leave all maps available so there is no favoring of one type of build (range/melee/storm/etc).

People can force ties by just running as you suggested but after 2 ties both players get take a loss and a pretty significant point deduction. If a player consistantly plays as a spoiler, tries to help his friend by getting a higher ladder player -tie points then they would be removed from the ladder and the point deduction would be reversed. I would imagine we would need to see this type of behavior on more then one occasion though.

I totally agree with you about spawn camping- I know some people say with the new unaffected state you can't really spawn camp, but I think its pretty cheap to back off and let pets sit right on top of a player. I will include that in the offical rules.

I appreciate what you're doing, Masque, and hope everyone interested has a good time. For me, though...no thanks. Ancillary pools are bad enough to overpower certain builds, incarnates are ridiculous. I'm not a big-time PvPer anyway, but once you get above L35-ish I just can't get into it at all.
