Hey everybody! I am thinking about running a simple sign-up tournament at the end of this month (December 27th or 28th). Here are a few of the finer attributes of the tournament:

• *Entire tournament played to completion in a single night
• *Double Elimination (Must lose twice to be totally done)
• *1-Round Games
• *All games played on either Funcrusher+ (New Jersey) or Coffeenet DTX (Dallas, TX). Maybe
• *Early rounds will have 30 fraglimit; final rounds will have 50
• *Common vanilla settings

What I have not decided on is the map format. There can either be one map all the way through or different maps designated for different rounds. I'd love to hear what you guys think about this aspect of the event as well as others. In particular, tournament start time as I'd like to be able to accommodate our west coast players as well as Europeans. Also open to other suggestions.

Pre-registration will probably open up about a week before the tournament with a few potential open spots for people interested in joining up the night of.

It's time. Let's get Odamex's new competitive community rolling. ;]

Different maps for different rounds sounds like the best idea. Playing on the same map throughout the tournament would be kind of stale and boring. It also allows for players to demonstrate their versatility on multiple maps, rather than just dominating on one.

Everything else sounds good to me; I can't give any idea on the time aspect though, unless it started at 10 am for west coasters, meaning 1 pm for east coast USA, 7pm for most of Europe, and 8pm for those as far East as Finland. I think that could possibly accommodate everyone without forcing Europeans to stay up to ungodly hours.
