Im planning on running a Tourney for Halo soon,  and was wondering what maps and setting to put down in the rules.  I was going to have a go at running the pal and ntsc tourneys at the same time.

If your interested in taking part please join the relevent ladder at xleague.tk

and while your waiting for it you can arrange some ladder matches between yourselves.

I will update here regarding time of the tourney I was thinking about Sunday the 30th November, but ive got to check my scheduale (aka the wife)

Thanks

Taz

Thanks,

what do you meen by rotating hosts ?

I was thinking of determining host by seeding/rank.

[squanto]

u know one guy hosts and then the next guy host and u draw for who gets to host twice ook just a suggestion

do i take it that the host has an unfair advantage?

(sorry i dont play halo much)

would it be possible for a person who is not playing host?

Ive decided to go with a Halo tourney this Saturday, im planning on doing a PAL and a NTSC,  both at 6pm (Pal will be at 6pm London time, NTSC will be at 6pm Washington DC time)

not sure what maps but each round will consist of 2 games.

1 vs 1 each host once... when both games have been played put the scores of the 2 rounds together to see who wins that round overall.

If its a draw then they will have to play another 2 games, (perhaps on a lower frag setting or time limit)

You wont be able to see the Tourneys on the xleague website yet, im planning on updating it tonight or tomorow.

Please let me know, maps and setting I should consider for the tourney.

at the moment I will only do 1vs1 tourneys as they are easier to admin. but will be open for doing a 2vs2 or a 1vs1vs1vs1 tourney at a later date.

. Like the winning and losing system .. whenever you win the loser needs to enter he lost the match and he will go down in the ladder.. well it sounds lame but i think a lot of ppl will not be entering there lose. Joining a ladder is much too hard.. and well the ladders are too empty yet, not your fault taz but i thought you might wanna know ;x and do some adverts or somethin I would really love seeing the online-tunnel-software-community growing and i think creating ladders and tournaments is one big chance achieving that..

Good luck taz...

I appricate your comments but I thought i'd point out that if you lose a match you do not go down in the rankings.

When you win a match against someone of a higher rank you move to the midpoint between the ranks.

so if you are ranked 100 and you beat someone who is ranked 50 you move to rank 75.

The only way you move down is by people leap-froging you, the exceptions to this are if you play someoone who is directly below you, or if you are in the top-ten and dont play a match for 7 days (they lose 5 rank places)

I will agree with you that there are not many players on there at the moment but it is early days and it is growing at a pace I am happy with, if not a little slower than i would have hoped.

I am also not arranging everything on my own, there is a lot of support been given from the xlink team, and also players on the ladder help out whenever they can, one has offered to run tourneys on top-spin so that I can get to play in one without having to deal with the admin of it.

All that I want is for people to have fun, and provide a little healthy competition.

Thanks and I hope that you join a ladder and take part in one of the tourneys.

[ShocKerz]

. But i was wondering are you using an irc channel or somethin ? so I could try talking to you about these tourneys maybe i want too arrange one at a later time   . When i've got some spare-time... i would love too.

Due to technical difficulties the Halo Ladders and Tourneys have been removed.

all other ladders appear to be working ok...

... I have removed the ladder from my website until I can fix.

My apoligies to anyone who was looking forward to a Tourney this weekend.

LOL! But, you shouldn't do rotating hosts thats is a good idea but its NOT! Because with a cable user the upload isn't definate and it can be high at one time then go down in a second. I suggest someone else host who isn't playing just have them camp someone and if they kill that person they get -1 to whoever does it! Because if you host this way you realize everyone will have the same amount of lag and nobody will call anybody else  cheater etc..!

Thanks, It was going to be for fun, thanks for the info regarding rotating hosts, I will look into the idea of having a referee in the game.

unfortunatly i'm having ladder technical difficulties so it wont be going ahead, I have removed the ladder completly for the time being, and will concentrate my efforts on the other ladders and tourneys.

but as far as this weekend goes, I might actualy spend some time with my wife.

or perhaps i'll be playing PGR2.
