Thread: TTP L4D TOURNAMENT SIGN UP

Ok... Red Lizard proposed it and I'm going to run with it. Never tried to organize something that I hope is going to be BIG, but here goes.

Post here if you are going to confirm or tentatively play.

Only Confirmed players will be in the pool to be considered for captains when that vote comes around. All players wanting to confirm and be eligible for captaincy should be registered by 12/1/2009.

TOURNEY DATE(S): December 19 & 20, 2009*
DUE TO SCHEDULING CONFLICTS WITH PROJECT REALITY MONTHLY MATCH
TOURNEY MATCHES WILL NOT BE SCHEDULED PAST 5PM ON THE 19TH UNLESS BOTH
TEAMS AGREE TO IT. REMAINING MATCHES WILL BE FINISHED ON THE 20TH IF REQUIRED.

Dates are tentative and subject to change. If all rounds cannot be completed, the tournament will be finished at a later date

RULES*
Rules are also subject to change as this whole thing is coming together on-the-fly

1) Anyone registered with TTP is welcome to play. If you want to bring in some ringers, that's fine but they gotta register on the forums and post up that they are going to play.

2) Teams will be picked by captains through a 4 round "draft" including 1 player from other teams to be used as a "backup" should one of your players be a no-show.
Captains will be chosen through vote by the confirmed and tentative players listed below FROM the confirmed players. So if you want to be a captain you have to confirm you WILL be there.

3) If a team cannot field 4 players, they may play with what they have with the understanding that they are at a disadvantage and no quarter will be given them by the opposing team.

4) SINGLE ELIMINATION. In the event of a tie, a single round (one map) will be played to determine the winner.

5) Should two teams meet where a backup player from one team is on the opposing team, the backup player must play for his designated team and not for backup purposes.

6) A minimum of 16 players are needed to do this. 32 would be even better. If 16 players cannot be fielded, this is a wash and we can try again at a later date. Lets not let this happen.

7) Games will be played by the generally accepted TTP rules of "Ready Up". Both teams at the beginning of the map must ready-up before the survivors can leave the safe-room.

8 ) Added caveat to that. If the safe room door opens and infected have NOT readied up, survivors MAY leave. This is to eliminate the possibility of infected spawning in specifical ly to do "shady" things like take out gas cans on the Dead Air map prior to readying up.

9) Time Outs. A team captain may call a time out (if team captain is afk/timing out/disconnected then anyone may call time out). Three time outs per MATCH (not map) may be called. These time outs are for a maximum of three minutes unless agreed upon by both team captains.
During a time out ALL ACTION MUST STOP excepting that of killing common infected that ARE ACTIVELY ATTACKING SURVIVORS. Infected cannot destroy doors, railings, etc and survivors cannot progress forward on the map. NOR can they fall back for ammo or health packs, pills, etc.

10) FOULS. A foul would be called if, for instance survivors open the safe room door and leave before it auto-opens, or infected ready up. A list of possible fouls follows.
Leaving safe room before readying up (excepting in the case of auto-opening door).
Unneccesary movement/environment interaction during time-out
<more to possibly follow>

11) Foul penalties. One foul results in loss of 100 points to final score. Two fouls results in the loss of 500 points. Three fouls results in forfeiture of match.

12) Map Choice. Choice of map/campaign will be randomly determined by coin toss (or similar random action) between the team captains by a third party prior to match start. Losing team determines whether to play as survivor or infected first.
In the case of a tie as detailed above in #4, the team losing the toss will determine which map OF THE CURRENT CAMPAIGN will be chosen to determine the tie-breaker.

13) Server selection. Obviously we would love for this to be a TTP server only tournament, but it's unlikely that we will have exclusivity of servers. So first choice will be TTP servers. In the likely eventuality that TTP servers are full, either a mutually acceptable server determined by both captains will be chosen or a random server chosen which with acceptability by both team captains determined upon arrival on said server. MODDED SERVERS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

14) Both team captains should run demos of the match. In the case where fouls are called, team captains should note where and when such fouls occurred. If there is a foul that is disputed, the demos will be called into question and a third party will be called in to determine validity of the claim.

15) I reserve the right to freak out and request help if this winds up being bigger than I expect.

If any of these rules are disputed, speak up now and we can amend, delete, add rules. One week before the tourney, rules will be set in stone.

Confirm or tentative? Obviously with the date in the air it's hard to confirm I guess...

But unless there are issues with the date that crop up, that's what I'm going with.

I just gotta have a buffer to clear the time slot, but other than that I'll be there so confirmed.

<---- Tentative

I will be a confirmed player...Sign me up.

By the time you have this tournament, L4d 2 will be out. Will this be a l4d 2 or L4d 1 tourney?


If its a 2 tourney, I highly recommend making it january, gives people time to by it/recieve it for christmas, and time to play it.

L4d 2 comes out November 17th (next week)

you can put my name in that pile...busy med school so schedule may be tough.

Count me in, I'll play as long as A) I get ample practice between now and then! And B)My ping is ok for it.... PM me to remind me a week before..... lol

It's an L4D1 tourney... If it goes over well, I'd love to see it repeated with L4D2 later.
