2v2 tdm has always been my favourite thing to play in FPS games. Tight maps provide some super fast and fun action, and some larger maps provide tense and intense games. I've run a successful TDM league at Skulltag (by some miracle), and I'd love to expand and do it in Odamex.

The point of this thread is basically to see what kind of support a serious 2v2 tdm league would get here. What kind of ideas people want to offer in terms of teams, league/tournament style, length, maps, etc. As a point of reference, this is what I have in mind.

8 teams of 2, pick your own partner.
Round Robin; play as you guys are available, don't wait for a week by week grind.

Alternative's I thought of
2v2 tdm but there is a "draft" of 3rds who fill in for the 2nd; this prevents dragging it out.
Divisions --> top 2 teams of each division do a playoffs style knockout after.

I'm not planning anything IMMEDIATELY, but I want to see what kind of thoughts you have about this.

I like the idea. I like the pick your partner part.

I will definitely sign up a team

I had a TDM tournament all planned out, with maps and everything.. IDL got in the way unfortunately. Perhaps this is a good place for it? Here's what I had planned:

2v2 TDM tournament with 8 teams. I believe I had a pool of 5 maps to choose from. The map process would be similar to ZDDL. Each team eliminates one map, and then plays for the best of 3. There's really not too much else to plan, except I'd have to dig up the 5 maps I had to see if, a few months removed from even thinking about it, they were good maps to play TDM on.

I can start this as soon as possible if there are some interested parties!

HELL yes. Let's do this ASAP. Odamex could use some action, especially in the form of a tourney. Gotta raise up that competitive spirit.
