ORLY?

I thought we were doing 4 matches, two matches for each team on host/map select?

We could like, come up with a list of maps for the tournament via nominations.

Oops, sorry, hadn't updated the first post after we'd talked it through in the thread. We're doing it as Cdemon said, 4 matches, 2 on each host. Winner is decided by who wins the most rounds.

I'll soon start up a seperate thread for map nominations, but bear in mind, we wont be able to use any of the new maps, as sadly not everyone has them. That rule will be revoked if it turns out all entrants do have the download though.

If you're deciding it like that, then the maps will have to be nominated after all the entrants are decided.

Just leave the new ones out.

Can i join a team plz!

I could be wrong, but I thought the point of the game was to win matches, not have the greatest margin of victory.

You do realize that even if we went with matches won, a winner would be decided by having the greatest margin of victory (matches)? It's just more competitive with rounds won.

Yeah, this is purely to increase the competetive aspect of the tournament. No slacking off just because you've won two matches, it doesn't mean you'll win overall.

lol this "most rounds won" thing is so ridiculous. I could be wrong, but I thought the point of the game was to win matches, not have the greatest margin of victory.

I'll go along with it, only because you guys seem to have a hard on for this method, but I dont think it is the best way in determining which team is truly best.

i know. honestly the rounds thing is horrible. should they ditermine the winner of a baseball game by seeing who gets the most runs in an inning, then adding them up to see which teams had the most runs the most.

More detail:

take a football (american version) game.

Team A scores 10 points in the 1st qtr, 7 in the 2nd, 14 in the 3rd, and 3 in the 4th. a total of 34 points.

Team B scores 12 in the 1st, 10 in the 2nd, 3 in the 3rd, and 7 in the 4th. a total of 32 points.

According to your logic, Team B would win the game because they outscored Team A in the 1st, 2nd, and 4th quarters; even though they had less overall points. Honestly your logic sucks dick...

No, yours does.

You're comparing the quarters of a football game to the four matches we're doing; that's not a legitimate comparison. The correct comparison would be the football (Gears) team that wins the most games (aka rounds in this tournament format) make it to the top of their division (ladder).

Nice try, though.

I mean, is it really hard to look at the matchups as 28 rounds instead of four matches? The team who wins 15 rounds wins the matchup. Simple.

Honestly I don't know what Matt was trying to say.

By reading it over a few times, I can only conclude that you don't have a clue what Curtis and I are on about. The winner is the one who wins the most rounds out of the four matches, so as Curtis said, think of it as 28 rounds as opposed to 4 matches. I'm pretty sure it makes perfect sense.
