What is short for you?
At least 4 weeks are planned and a maximum two months. But the tourney will start earliest in 4 weeks.

I will not promote these records after that scandal. I don`t want to make advertising for Quake anymore. Also it looks like that these servers are only until September or November(?) online and to find there a specific rec is like a needle in the haystack. Everyone who is playing there and want to watch these recs can still download them. This is my opinion for now, but maybe i will change it someday.

You cant just make rule of how many silos can be blinded(ofc its your tourney so you can but i doubt people would like that very much). There can be blinding or no blinding at all.Forever Young wrote:I guess no one understands the calculation!? Well, i will try to make an easier formular soon after more tests.
One thing is clear, there will be never a perfect rating for defcon but it looks fair now.
Most important things are:
- the tourney has no teams and still teamplay will be very important
- i will create a ranking with updates every 1-3 day(s)
- no minus scores for players
- every player get points, losers and winners with one exception: Losers with team minus score will get 0 points, but this should be very rare
- heroes and weaks can play togehter or against each other and all are still capabale to get points
- maximal scores for winners are 2 points to prevent too big differences in the ranking. It looks a bit unfair but it isn`t
- scores are very low and with decimals mostly
- rules like the other tourneys before(cheats, bugs, glitches, name and key changes, rage quit, insults, ...are not allowed)
- weak players are allowed but not newbies. For me that mean circa 1 year defcon experience or the player has to show recs/results and we will decide then
- random territories or fair setups are allowed if all players agree with it
- random and default cities are allowed
- no pause function
...
All what we need are minimum 20 players! For the tourney we should use the servers which are already available and maybe the league server but then trickser has to create a new password after the tourney but i guess this is not a big problem or much work.
We could implant a new ingame rule like killing silos blind is allowed but not more than 2 silos? Killing all silos after a scout is allowed of course.
Opinions?

That is why i ask for opinions to discuss it but maybe most are not interested or in holidays. I think it is true, we can`t have a good tourney because of the crazy forum and cheaters.
Edit: It is not my tourney if there will be one. It has to be our tourney and for that i need the community input.

Okay, it looks like that most of us want the blinding option?
Pause function should be enabled?
Edit: I said the scoring system allows to play with noobs and that is a good option for all but maybe we should try not to get newbies and regulate the sign up. I already mentioned it before.
I don`t want to have fresh accounts to shield cheaters, trolls and total noobs in the tourney. Maybe we call the tourney" Nuking Oldies Club Tourney!" Could be a good name because of the scoring system. If a newer player will join we have to check a few recs and/or we have to take a vote for example like Colytic. For now i see no problem with him.
If the scoring system is going to fail and we see this after a few games i will search for a better fair solution. This should be not a problem because the results are fixed in the screenshots.
Very important:
R3D don`t want blind killing silos. Others really want this. What we do?
I said, maybe allow killing 2 Silos per territory. Idk if this make sense but it would be a compromise.

Facts are facts....and fact is r3d is the only one bitch:) requesting blind nuking to be forbidden...and logic says here enough.
As for pause as "default" it should be enabed in all future tourneys and games...
FY asked for open discussion? He stated that i am a cheater. There are no proof, there will never be any proof, because there is no proof to be shown, because i didnt cheat.
