Urban Terror Tournament Update
First, thank you to everyone who was able to complete some matches. Scheduling turned out to be a tricky situation, so for those of you who still have matches to play, we will wrap up the tournament this Saturday. Please be online and ready to play by 1PM Eastern on Saturday, September 20th. Please have one representative from your team in #QuakeExpo on irc.globalgamers.net so that it's quicker and easier to communicate with each team.
If you don't have an IRC client installed, you can use the Webchat: http://www.globalgamers.net/?p=webchat&chan=QuakeExpo
There will be a new link added to the User Panel for team captains to give feedback about the tournament and the Scintle system. We would appreciate any feedback so that we can improve tournaments and other events and services in the future.
Thank you for your patience with the tournament. See you on Saturday!
Time for Terror!
Terror at Quake Expo 2008 begins! Teams are now welcome to begin contacting each other and playing matches. Team captains now have a link in their User Panel to Launch a Match Server (Powered by Scintle). Instructions are on the User Panel by the link.
The first map will be Turnpike. Best of 3 games, loser submits loss in tournament system (inside your team's Panel page).
The remaining maps will be announced shortly. If you need to contact other team captains, you can send them a message with the Inbox link if you have their name, otherwise we recommend joining #QuakeExpo on irc.globalgamers.net to communicate easier. ButtaKnife and J0E are available in #QuakeExpo to answer questions or resolve disputes. Good luck!
Terror Update
A big thanks to everyone who has signed their team up for the Urban Terror tournament so far! I realize that this is a bad time of year for many of you, so seeing the level of interest even now is great.
We will be starting up matches on Wednesday (September 10th). This will give us extra time to test things. Due to concerns over seeding, we will be randomizing the seeds once the servers are ready and all teams are accounted for on the bracket. If any one has already spoke with their opponent already, we apologize for the inconvenience. Hopefully the random seeding makes things fun for everyone!
If you have suggestions for this tournament or for future tournaments, please let us know. As mentioned before, this won't be the only Urban Terror tournament that we host.
DP2 Tournament Update
Anyone participating in the Digital Paint tournament should join #QuakeExpo on Global Gamers. Players will be contacted regarding the tournament to set up matches.
Terror at Quake Expo 2008!
Welcome, Urban Terror fans, to Terror at Quake Expo 2008! This is a single-elimination, 5v5 tournament where you could take home some ThinkGeek gift certificate goodness. Register your account, login, and set up your team. Everyone is welcome to join!
Match times will be decided by the two teams. We will set a deadline for each match to be completed by. The availability of Scintle's servers will help each match be completed in a timely fashion. Server configs are based on the standard STA match server config, so there should be no surprises there. If you have a dispute about a match, there is a way to dispute the match in the tournament system once the loss is reported.
The tournament begins Monday, September 8th and will continue through Sunday, September 14th. The match deadlines will be posted on Monday, but teams can feel free to contact each other to schedule matches as soon as possible. The number of teams participating will dictate the amount of time between match deadlines.
This system is currently in beta, so we will add your team to the bracket manually. If you have questions, please join #QuakeExpo on irc.globalgamers.net and ask for assistance. (mIRC users can type /server -m irc.globalgamers.net -j #QuakeExpo) We'll be glad to help, but please be patient if you don't get an immediate response.
Lastly, rest assured that this won't be the only Urban Terror tournament that we host!
DP2 Tournament Registration Deadline
Teams competing in the DP2 tournament need to be registered no later than Friday, September 5th! Hurry and Register your account and team! Matches will then be scheduled and begin immediately after. Teams will be given a deadline to complete each match. There should be ample time (1-3 days) to complete each match and record the scores. If you have questions, please join #QuakeExpo and ask for assistance.
Tournament Prizes
Prizes for the tournament winners are (per player):
- First place: $25 ThinkGeek gift certificate
- Second and Third place: $10 ThinkGeek gift certificate
A swag box can be substituded for the ThinkGeek gift certificates if a winner chooses, since European winners would have to pay a lot to ship from ThinkGeek.
