What Tourneys can we expect to see at Fites 250man LAN this year?
Any possibility of doing Starcraft 2 again this year?
-
We've almost finalized the lineup for tourneys....

Awesome, where will they be posted? The Intranet or on here?
-
I would imagine the announcement of the posting will be here, but the meaty details will be on the intranet.
-
Those details better be meaty! ....or at least bacon.
-
Are you saying my thick cuts aren't meaty?!
-

Any updates? :D
-
Any update on tournaments for LAN?
-
As ALWAYS, or for at least the last 7 years, they will be finalized no later than 30 days prior to the event. (Rules, maps, the whole shebang.)
I am still working out a schedule that doesn't terribly overlap. Some of it has been posted on the intranet.
- UT3 (Confirmed)
- Minecraft (Confirmed, creative build, voting has been moved to the intranet this year to stop outside voting.)
- CS:GO (We might fall back to CS:S)
- LoL (tentative)
- SCII (We setup the bracket but all the SCII players seem to be good at scheduling themselves! You guys rock.)
- Artemis (Tentative but if it does happen you will not need to purchase, but I suggest you do it's fun. We will be supplying the setup.)
- TF2 (Confirmed, in fact this is why I am holding up the schedule right now.)
- BF3 (I believe this is confirmed, but I will have to check with the person running it. I don't play this game and it having no LAN support, I personally don't endorse it.)
- L4D2 (Confirmed)
Right now I am working with eXtine on the TF2 schedule. We have a few offerings that we are trying to narrow down to give people the most fun for their time. If you weren't aware we are going to have members of eXtv (http://www.extelevision.com/) (www.extelevision.com (http://www.extelevision.com)) in attendance casting and helping us bring as much TF2 fun as we can without neglecting the other game offerings.
Hopefully that's enough to wet your whistle for now.
You can keep an eye on the intranet tournament page (http://intranet.fites.net/tournaments.php) for what's in the process of being scheduled.

Thank you!!! Been trying to get friends interesting in attending but they wanted to know what tournaments would happen is the only reason I was asking!!
Glad to hear there will be SC2 again this year!!
Cant wait!
-
List of tournaments seems fairly similar to years past. Looks good!
Id like to see the Minecraft creative tournament be a team event. Theres the potential to have some bigger, cooler stuff than a single person can build.
I think I might have mentioned this to Czar a couple months ago, not sure if it brought up or passed around. What do you guys think?
On a side note i hope theres more bf3 competition this year
:D
-
The only "problem" with making Minecraft a team event is what do we limit the team size to? (For awards purposes.)

team limit = 250

I didn't really envision more than 4 to a team. Big enough to make some cool stuff yet small enough to easily form teams, even for the pugs.
sounds reasonable?
-
I agree with 2 -4 player teams for Minecraft. No more than 4 is a perfect amount.
-
I think that 2 would be best, just to kind of kick it up some with the build size and complexity. but you dont have to go 2 players but just have that option. Oh and ban block art this year.
Edit: can we maybe have an awesomenauts tourney this year too?
Edit#2:

going to be way better this year from me, solo or not. :deal2:
-
Any new info on game types or maps? L4D2 scavenge? UT3 CTF? TF2 Push the cart? :box2:
-
L4D2 will certainly be scavenge. The others are still being finalized.
-
What would anyone say to a 11 Vs 11 BF2 (2 squads of 5 + A commander) Tournament?
Does anyone else miss the commander role?

-
That, or a vehicle. Whichever is available. : )

I remember playing this two LAN's ago. It was really fun and I havent seen it since. Whats it called?
-
hard justice
-
That was some fun times.

If I bring a server with it, would you guys play?
Or better yet, do you guys already have one laying around so I dont have to ;)

Pretty sure I have one laying around somewhere.

Have the tournaments been finalized? Some have a lot of details regarding rules/maps, (UT3, BF3, minecraft) others list little or nothing. For example, Halo lists nothing. L4D2 lists 3 maps, no mention of best of (1, 3, 5), map order or a 4th, 5th map if needed. You guys don't expect more than 8 teams for L4D2, 3 rounds?
-
This isn't our first rodeo. If we get more than 8 teams, we'll certainly adjust. As info is available, we'll post it. For now, the tourney selections are finalized.

Like Czar said we often have to make minor adjustments the day of to compensate for how many people sign up. I have adjusted to posting to make it more clear for L4D2.
But I really just wanted to comment on L4D2 number of teams. Last year we had exactly 8 but the year before we had 11. So yeah, we had to recycle a map because I think there were only 3 maps to choose from. On an exciting side note I hope to get the guys from eXtv to cast the finals.

Come on now, you go from a ruleset of 3 maps Atrium, Swamp, Park when I asked the question to this:
"This tournament will be scavenge mode.
Map Rotation will be random from the current pool of official maps.
Best Of 3 or 5, will be decided based upon participation level.
Best of 5 for finals."
It's like we are being punished for asking legitimate questions, meanwhile clans wanting to play UT3 or BF3 can actually practice a bit with complete rulesets:
rules:
Map rotation
Round 1 - Seine Crossing
Round 2 - Operation Firestorm
Round 3 - Kharg Island
Round 4 - Grand Bazaar (if needed)
Round 5 - Caspian Border (if needed)
server settings:
8 v 8 Conquest
2 Rounds per Map
300 Tickets
The highest total ticket from both rounds wins.

CTF-LostCause
LVL4_Tourney_1 (1-4)
Last match (final remaining two teams)

That's fine, your lan/tournament, you make the rules. I was just asking for a little clarification in regards to some games having detailed rule sets and others with few, L4D2 being one example. This is crew's 4th year coming and more members want to attend each year. Some of our members are new to the older games and we were trying to narrow down what needed to be gone over, hence the request for clarification. I must have ticked someone off because you went from a rule set list of 3 maps before I asked my question to a "clarification" of a random selection of official maps of which their are 18....really more of a punishment than a clarification. Like I said, your lan your rules, whatever, I just don't understand the stark contrast in rule sets between BF3/UT3, and L4D2. BF3 outlines specific maps, which order they are played, how many rounds per map, tickets per round, and simple "if needed" behind 2 maps to easily scale between 8-32 teams depending on interest. A new person can easily pick up the game focus on the first 3-5 maps in the rules and feel confident enough to participate.

Come on now, you go from a ruleset of 3 maps Atrium, Swamp, Park when I asked the question to this:
<snip>
How about this?
Maps will be played in this order (as needed for the number of rounds) with "No Mercy - Rooftop Finale" as the map for the finals.
Dark Carnival - Motel
The Parish - Park
Dead Center - Mall Atrium
Swap Fever - Plank Country
Crash Course - The Alleys
Hard Rain - Milltown
Death Toll - The Church
If there are more rounds than these maps listed we will repeat the list from the beginning.
Unless you have a map that you desperately wish to play this will be the list.

I don't need to pick maps, just wanted a more concise list so some people new to the game have some insight on what to focus on. It's hard to find a pub not playing rooftop let alone brickyard or some others I'm glad didn't make the list. I didn't mean to rock the boat, I'm sure you guys have a lot of prep work in the final month before the lan and as always it is appreciated. :hail: See you all on the 22nd.
-
You are still going to see rooftop as a final. My reasoning for picking it is it can be pretty exciting to watch. And even if it's not cast with commentary I will stream it.

It is very exciting to watch, I'm hoping some of us make it to park at least lol. Looking forward to everything you guys have planned, Thanks again.
-
I know it won't be a part of the tournament list, but I just wanted to say that since Aliens: Colonial Marines comes out soon that I expect to see no less than 5 co-op servers running at all times.
-
yea im gonna preorder aliens.
-
Agreed. This game looks great!
-
You fruits need to get your rainbow colored buns on the NS2 wagon.
