TremZone Tournament
« on: December 27, 2008, 03:47:44 pm »
A little over a month ago, I wanted to organize a Tremulous tournament. I decided that the time spent making a website would best be spent on a center for competitive events rather than a single tournament. So, I went through the long(ish) process of making a site and tournament. There wasn't a whole lot to do; I attribute the difficulty of the process to my own incompetence. Relearning HTML and CSS, reading the Simple Machines docs, and writing, rewriting, and re-rewriting the rules of the tournament were among the things did.

So, here is www.tremzone.com and its associated tournament, the First TremZone Team Open. Check it out for details.

Registration is currently open, but as this has just been announced, changes may be made to the rules. There are currently no official referees, server, or teamspeak server, though as of right now the game and Teamspeak servers will be vR's. Match dates are to be announced, but registration will continue through the holidays, and matches wont begin until after the New Year.

If you would like to be a referee, contact me. You can both play and ref the tournament, but you cannot be a referee for a match that your team or clan is in.

If you would like to contribute your server to the tournament, post here or on the TremZone forum, or contact me in any other way. Having more tournament servers will decongest the schedule of matches. Your server must have or be able to change to the range of settings given in the rules, preferably without rcon (i.e. TL 50-60, SD 25-35, etc.) Originally, I had share/donate: off as a server setting, but seeing that I don't have my own servers to use, and most servers have share/donate on, share/donate will be on.

Referees will be chosen carefully.

Also, the 4 most popular maps to scrim on, as determined by the poll in the TremZone forum, will be used for the tournament. Go vote now. Because it's a public poll, I will need many voters to iron out the fallacies.

Feel free to ask if you have questions. I would like to append an FAQ on the site. I have a reason for just about everything, so I'll likely be able to explain quite easily.

Void of Deity endorses and encourages tremzone.  We plan on being involved and using our servers(which should be up today or tomorrow) to support the tournament.


Good luck Harry!  :)

This is North America only because dodging is difficult with high ping differences on unlagged since you can't see where your enemy actually is, only where s/he was a fraction of a second earlier. Sorry  :(

well.. i think NA only is a good idea. It discourages any flaming or whining about how unfair/biased unlagged is. It will just avoid this whole arguement of which clans are better Euro or NA.

i mean there is a solution to all this lagged/unlagged bullshit. Play on lagged, make it so everyone has 150-200 ping then see who rly is the best  :P :advmarauder: :P :advmarauder: :P :advmarauder: :P

K-otic is a manager, so if you want to be a referee, and I don't know you well, you can ask Otic.

i spose i see your point but it wouldnt be hard to simply have all particapants have a quick 2 minute game and see if any lag, and then disqualify those that do. Maybe next time? Though i dont know why im saying this because im not even in a clan :P

I think putting everyone on a lan connection would be better.  0 ping ftw.  Then they can't whine, Oh I lagged.

We should have our games hosted in Australia that way both Europeans and NA lag. When its Aussie vs NA we hold the match in Europe. Europe vs Aussie hold it in NA.

The Magma Warriors are pissed off you wasted our time, and I have decided I will DOS attack your server, I have a program for that. Unless you want to get your asses on, and do a 3 on 3 or 4 on 4.

One day, I connected (When I don't got "Too high ping") to an Aussie server, with my french connection. I got 500 of ping. Unplayable, even with unlaggued. :(

I think it's a bad idea. Let US' clans play on US servers, Euros' clans on Euro servers, Aussies' clans on Aussi servers. Or install servers in Groenland and in Africa. :D

I play on lagged aussie servers often, and I'm on the west coast of the US. And I typically do fine, in fact I get less connection interrupted than I do on a lot of euro servers. usually it's really stable, just slow. if NTT threw in some more fiber over there I'd probably be able to ping 150 even, seeing as how the CURRENT fiber goes from US -> Asia -> AU now.

Sadly that will never happen, as aussieland is a perfect example of why government fiddling and regulation are bad for the net.
They have enforced peering contracts and everything.  Its like a monopoly but worse...

Actually they're only threatening that. I doubt it will go through, because alot of people will be complaining if it does.

As of what I've heard from a friend who works for NTT, they ARE thinking about running an OC48 from San Jose, CA to Sydney, AU. Right now they have dual OC3's running from SJ->AU, as well as 2 OC3's and two OC12's from Japan to AU. There's at least 30 OC192's running from various parts of the western US coast to Japan at the moment, why not some to Aussieland? ;]

Getting teams to register is harder than I thought. 8 teams was a long shot, a reaalllyy long shot. I'll keep registration open for a while, and at worst, there'll be a small round-robin tournament.

Give people time, at least a week or so.
It'll take people a while to get the old teams back together again etc.
