Well it's time for a tourney. This an FFA for ROTR. Here is the ladder of maps:
1. 1st match: seven star assault.
2. 2nd match: Tournament city
3. 3rd match: mountain guns
4. quarter finals: tournament urban
5. semi finals: flash effect
6. finals: tournament desert
As with almost everything there are rules:
1. The most important rule, TREAT OTHER PLAYERS WITH RESPECT (Yes you can blow up all of there buildings, thats different). I don't care if another player has destroyed your base, just treat players with respect.
2. There will be NO swear/cuss/curse words. I don't care if a player has just destroyed your 40 overlords rush. This is NOT a bad mouth convention.
3. There will be NO exploiting bugs/glitches etc. And when I watch your game I will know when you start getting 50 overlords at a time from 1 war factory with only 100 $ left.
4. When a player surrenders/is defeated we move on to the next map. I give 5 (five) minutes to let you get there. If you are not there in 5 (five) minutes, you automatically forfeit.
Thank you those are the rules. To join this tourney and other tourneys afterward, just join the hamachi network "Tournament group". The time that it will take place is to be dated. Thank you and have fun.

Are you sure you can fill all the slots. From what I've seen there isn't much interest in a ROTR tournament right now

In "Mountain Guns", those who start on the edge would have a great advantage. Thus, the map doesn't seem balance.

Considering most people still play with the word filter on, (Which is a pretty satrict one at that) I don't really think profanities will be that much of a problem.

True. Second, big FFAs can take a hell of a long time. Better make it go from 8 to 4 players, with the victor of the 4 player match be victorious.

Well, you can use replacements (darn/dang, frikin, etc.). Also, supply lines is the only other 5 player map. people in the middle would REALLY have an unfair unadvantage

I'd maybe give it a crack.


Personally, a pair of 4-plater FFAs could be round one - to weed out the weakest players. (These games would be played until two from each are defeated)
The next rounds would all be 1vs1 (1 winner from Category A vs 1 winner from Category B or similar)
Then the final would be the victors from those matches.

It should just be 1v1 knockout the entire way though, that's how it worked for the last (and only...) ShockWave tournament, and it worked quite well.
The best of the rest idea was good too.

Problem is Rise of the Reds is too imbalanced (although I guess the last tournament WAS vanilla 0.95 with crazy Ironside) and it's not close enough to a ShockWave release to have a good enough quantity of players.

i think the current RotR version isnt too bad to be used, a lot of things are still not wellknown at all, and im sure no one has figured out most aspects of online play

im still against switching game types half way through, it would be a lot better to just make 1v1 brackets+double elimination or having an FFA with some point system

Well, if there would a be a "decent" balance 1on1 should be the best.
FFA has more to with luck than anything else.
Sharp is definately the best here, wayyy better than all others.

You'll always have the same problem.
ROTR will never be balanced, like shw isn't.
Second problem is if you dont try to keep it active now to see ALL imbalances than you dont have an active/balanced game later.

Shame that your worksteps are still wrong.
