SUGGESTION: 1st EF TOURNAMENT

[jared2013]

I say 2v2 at the least, 1v1 games make me nervous, lol

[nbeerbower]

I think the mix of 1v1 and 2v2 would satisfy both sides, and I think it makes the selection of who's playing according to the faction a bit more strategic.

[MultiDoc]

I prefer 3v3 and 4v4 games, maybe even 2v2 

[Headlock]

I'm thinking that this tourny should be hard, fast and dramatic.

The aim here is to "showcase" EF, and have a blast at the same time.

Thus Id suggest avoiding 1v1s, and instead go for 2v2+, because EF is a thing of beauty when literally hordes of ruskies come pouring over the hill at you!

So, rather than a strict win/lose situation, think of this tourney more as fun event, with no prize other than helping EF get noticed and the kudos from your faction winning.

I'll start pulling something together soon; keep the comments/ideas flowing!

I suggest 1v1s, and then a system like GameReplay's:

Each side will play each faction AT LEAST once. The goal is to win 2 out of 3 games against your opponent. The System works like this:

In the first match, the player who starts with the Soviets or Wehrmacht will be chosen at random. The other player will get the Faction the 1st player DOES NOT get.
I.E: 1st player gets Soviets, so the 2nd Player gets Wehrmacht.

At the end of that round, the sides flip. The 1st player gets the faction the 2nd player had last round.

I.E:
1st Round:
-Player 1-Soviets
-Player 2-Wehrmacht

2nd Round
-Player 1-Wehrmacht
-Player 2-Soviets.

In the event of a tie, the player who won the first game gets to choose his or her faction of choice.

The winner of 2/3 games will move on to the next seed.

Common Scenarios:

Example 1:
Player1=Cranialwizard
Player2=Soviets1234(Made that name up, if it's anyone's name, sorry)

Round 1
Computerized Random Selection Chose Player 1 to take Wehrmacht first.

Player 1=Wehrmacht
Player 2=Soviets

Player 2 wins Round 1.

Round 2

Player 1=Soviets
Player 2=Wehrmacht

Player 1 wins 2nd Round.

Tiebreaker Round 3
Because Player 2 won Round 1, he gets to pick the faction of his choice.
Player 2 chooses Wehrmacht.

Player 1=Soviets
Player 2=Wehrmacht

Player 1 wins Round 3.

Results:

Player 1: ||
Player 2: |

Player 1 Wins!He will move on to the next seed.

Example 2
Player 1:Cranialwizard
Player 2:Wehrmacht984251325(Again, made up)

Round 1

Computerized Randomizing selects Player 1 with Wehrmacht.

Player 1:Wehrmacht
Player 2:Soviets

Player 1 wins round 1.

Round 2
Switching Sides...

Player 1:Soviets
Player 2:Wehrmacht

Player 1 wins Round 2.

Results:

Player 1:||
Player 2:

Player 1 Wins! He will move on to the next seed.

[Rikard Blixt]

In the event of a tie, the player who won the first game gets to choose his or her faction of choice.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but GR is (at least used to) using the one that won with most VPs left gets to decide. Also that is a lot more fair, then it being the winner of the first match that always will have the advantage.

[ImperialKaskins]

Then after the battle, will there be a board to show in this forum that who is no.1 for this week?

Or the battle is daily?

Best tourney played on friday and Saturday

I am in Malaysia is Saturday, then USA will be Friday. we are 1 day faster.

After the player win by defeating every opponent he will be the no.1 player. Adding a winners board here and maybe the hall of shame.

Hate playing wehrmacht.

I know that theire the more important of 2 german fractions but I just hate to micro the cheapest units in game (pios), I hate ninja paks, I hate MGs that need 3secs to get out of a house that is flamed, I hate that 1 shreck vet 3 grens (3 rifles) are better than 5 man Tommy squad.

Round 1
Computerized Random Selection Chose Player 1 to take Wehrmacht first.

Player 1=Wehrmacht
Player 2=Soviets

Player 2 wins Round 1.

Round 2

Player 1=Soviets
Player 2=Wehrmacht

Player 1 wins 2nd Round.

Tiebreaker Round 3

How about making 3rd round Soviet vs PE?

Ill also add that I want a 1v1 tournament.

[Versedhorison]

Yeah what did happen to PE???

[Chancellor]

Who in their right mind actually wants to use the PE for competitive play?  As of this patch, PE is an excuse of a faction.

[Headlock]

oh i beg to differ.

I play PE all the time- theyre tough to master, certainly, but they have some pretty nasty ass units.

That mortar HT for one, and the Panther battle group for another!

Now that hotfix 1.11 is out, iLL start putting something together for a tourney.

[Blackbishop]

Yeah, i play PE all the time too... i think my mind isn't right anymore

[Versedhorison]

In CoH at the moment PE are my most successful faction.

[Cranialwizard]

PE was cut out assuming this was a vanilla tournament. As soon as you guys get to play PE there will be people complaining "Why can't I use Brits? Why can't I use USA?"

If that is NOT the case, then you can change the randomizer to select the SIDE you are on first. Then you may pick your faction (Although this kind of ruins the tourney because all you would see is PE VS American or Wehr VS Brits.)

Rizz is right, thank you for the correction. One with the most points gets to chose in a tie breaker.

[Headlock]

I'd only  suggest cutting out PE if Ostheer isnt out yet.
