Forum:Wiki CoD tournament

Ever since the CDWC began hosting events, I've had the idea of a Wiki Call of Duty tournament, but there hasn't been a suitable time frame to host it. After the CoD4 event, there is no definitive move; do we start the cycle over, or do we branch into another series? I present an alternative: in late July/early August (or earlier) (school holidays for most people) we host a MW3 tournament.

Organisation
Depending on the number of users interested, we have two options.
 * 1) A straightforward FFA tournament. This is the easiest to run, and would be best with small numbers. Similar to the FIFA World Cup or NFL, we could have groups of 4-6 players, followed by a knockout stage.
 * 2) A team tournament. This is my preferred idea, and the one I planned for. It would involve 2-4 groups of 4-6 4-man teams (if that makes sense) which would then follow the same structure as above.

We'd also need a prize for the winner

Game rules
Subject to change per discussion. These are mainly for balance.
 * Standard TDM/FFA time/kill limit (core).
 * Default Maps
 * No Stealth Bomber in Support
 * No FMG9s

Finalisation
This is the finalised rule set for the tournament.

Discussion
Thoughts? 17:53, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

FFA would be a lot better imo. Then no one would have to worry about making teams etc or being left out. 17:58, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

We could simply have 2 matches in sequence; one for TDM, and one for FFA. IDK how teams would be made, but for balance, they would have to probably be randomly picked (No 1337 team for me...). 18:15, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Sounds awesome! I'd be interested. Not sure what the prize could be though, or if the prize has to be monetary or physical. DrRichtofen (  Talk  ) 18:45, April 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Medal/ribbon probably. 18:46, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds cool. DrRichtofen  (  Talk  ) 20:13, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * The winner gets pride and a sense of accomplishment and skill. Duh. (We don't need a prize.) 23:41, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Screw pride and accomplishment, I want a blue ribbon. 02:22, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * ^This. Give us the damn awards. Also, Elmo was the one who suggested a prize if you have opposition DM567. DrRichtofen  (  Talk  ) 15:51, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

FFA would be better then TDM, since it'd be your skill against everyone else's. If we did TDM, good players might get stuck in a team full of bad ones. Also, no restrictions on weapons/kill streaks. Conqueror of all Zombies 18:51, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

I just had another idea; how about 2v2 Dom(like in MLG matches)? You can choose a partner and enter. 3v3 may be viable as well. 18:52, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Sounds like fun, I'll go with the 1st choice. Hopefully, I don't end up being the host again like at the WaW event. BTW I don't have the Map packs. 18:56, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Sounds good, but I'll do crap in it (As usual, lol) and their won't be many Wii players (Again lol).

I would join, but I would have to use my friend's PS3, though. I am nacho 21:53, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

FFA please :D WhinoTheRhino 23:33, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Sounds fun. I'd go with the team tournament sounds a lot more fun. Prize could be a medal/ribbon. Leon S. Kennedy AKA Shepard 01:16, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

This sounds really, really fun. 01:45, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

About the PC branch, who will take care of hosting. And, how (Offline mod enabled or not?) ? 02:29, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

Sounds fun, and I agree with CoaZ, there should be no restrictions on the guns and killstreaks. Also would the tournament be core or hardcore? 20:08, April 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Core, unless there's a unanimous vote in a group for hardcore. 20:11, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hardcore  20:16, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * So if there are enough people, there would be a separate hardcore section? 20:22, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, we could have a group if there is six or so people to make one. 20:24, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Should we wait for the roster fill up more and then ask? 20:40, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, considering that we're going to have to wait until the roster fills up before we split everybody into groups, yes, that would be the time to ask. 23:00, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

Seems cool, but why in July/August? What exactly takes three months of planning? 23:01, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * That was my planning for the team-based tournament, and when most schools are generally on holiday. Now the consensus is for FFA, so it could be done in 1 or 2 nights and as soon as there is enough interest. 14:39, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Late June could be a good option too, if we have all the planning done ahead of schedule. August sounds a bit too far off. 00:36, May 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, could we have two tournaments? The first would be a FFA tournament, which should not take too much time to plan and we can have that tournament sooner. Then we could make a TDM tournament and take the time to set that one up and have it in July or August? 06:11, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

So the game rules are open to debate? One could argue that the FMG9 and Stealth Bomber are not overpowered. 03:02, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

Could we also have "no recon drones" in FFA? Those things don't do anything for the user and just annoy everyone else ._. 16:01, May 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * But Recon Drones are fun. 00:01, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Since they don't do much for the user, chances are they won't being using them seriously anyway. 05:15, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

How about we do both TDM and FFA? two seperate tournaments relatively close to one another, if not on the same day. Top 3 teams in TDM get a medal and Top 3 people in FFA get a medal as well. Everybody gets to play in the gametype they want. And if there not too close to one another, people from ffa can also be in the tdm tournament. What do you guys think? 18:53, May 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * We can have a TDM tournament, but it will be organised later. 18:58, May 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, sounds good   19:15, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
