This Friday evening, October 29th, starting at 8:00 p.m., we'll be having Utah's 1st King of the Hill tournament online. The concept is pretty simple: you win...you keep playing! We have had several people and their friends interested in participating, so there should be some epic matches. In the case of a lot of people, we might create 2 brackets and whoever has the most wins from each bracket will face-off in a final best-of-5 (just to make it interesting)! So, invite whoever you want from whatever bracket and let's play! We'll be chatting it up on a Ventrilo server, so if you don't already have it downloaded, get it here.
Hostname or IP: vent94.light-speed.com
Port number: 5898
Or, add Ignite #102 to your friends list. We'll have a livestream set up for those that would just prefer to watch. Assuming all goes well, it will be broadcast at www.livestream.com/ignite83.
No prizes will be given and no entry fee is required.
Who: Everyone (Utahn or not, we'll play anyone!)
Where: B.net / Ventrilo server
When: Friday, October 29th, 2010 @ 8:00 p.m. Mountain Time
Hope to see you there!

I'm gonna see if I can get like 10 people :P A ton of random people from utah keep adding me on SC2, so I will tell them all to participate! :)
ReplyDeleteSeveral people have mentioned that they can't be there right at 8:00. No worries, still join whenever you can and we'll include you in the KotH. If we get as many people as we are hoping, we'll have to have multiple groups just to make the wait time between your games as minimal as possible. Hope to see you all there, regardless of what time you can show up. I anticipate this going for a few hours!
ReplyDeleteThanks for organizing this. onemoretry owned all our faces.
ReplyDeleteThat was way fun :) thanks for setting it up indeed, and I would love to try having this going on like every Wednesday or something. Maybe we can get the Tin League to shoutcast lol.
ReplyDeleteUtah Game Tournaments will be hosting an awesome 1v1 50 Player Free-For-All Single-Elimination Starcraft 2 Tournament on December 21st at Rock Creek Pizza in Riverton, the address is 1276 West 12600 South. The winner will receive $300 cash! The Tournament is scheduled to begin promptly at 9:00pm, and registration begins at 8:00pm, the first 50 individuals to come in at 8:00pm and pay the entree fee of $10 will get a secured spot, this way first come first served is honored to insure a fair playing field. This fee is to paid in cash, and no bills above $10 dollars in value will be accepted as no change will be given. Once the fee is paid the competitor must sign a wavier protecting his/her rights and the rights of Utah Game Tournaments and Rock Creek Pizza Co. After the wavier is signed the competitor will be guaranteed a spot in the tournament, and therefore the fee is non-refundable, if the player does not show up to his/her matches, the player will forfeit the round. The rules of play will be thoroughly explained at the tournament right before the first round begins. This tournament requires that all players bring all necessary equipment to play themselves, to put it simply, they must bring everything they would need to play by themselves at home, we will be providing the network switches and internet, but the player must bring everything else, including an all necessary cables for them to hook up to the network if they do not have a wireless connection adapter. The final rounds will be commentated on and filmed with Fraps. The tournament should last no more than 3 or 4 hours at the latest.
ReplyDeleteWe sincerely hope to see all of you there. Make sure you let us know on our email that you plan to come, also feel free to ask any questions or express and comments or concerns. Thank you very much.

I think this idea is great.. but generally there is lots of unfair play and tactics associated with Free for Alls. Take this for example:
ReplyDeleteMy base is at 9 oclock. I take my highly immobile force and hit 12 oclock. 12 oclock player yells out in chat. 9 oclock is hitting me! Go attack him! Now~ that is an everygame occurence in normal ladder ffa's. The part that gets tricky.. is that all of us are going to have friends involved in the same ffa's. Some form of cheating or unspoken alliance could ruin the competitve aspect.
What is UtahGameTournaments stance going to be on the rules of the FFA? Whatever happens happens? Will it be more closely monitored for secret alliances?
On a different note: Thanks a ton for putting this together. I will be attending regardless of the type of tournament... just because I love SC2 =)
Something that came to mind right after I posted my first comment..
ReplyDeleteWhat if we didn't allow chatting while the match is active? Also, make it a requirement that everyones status is set to Busy so that they don't receive whispers in-game?
No communication would make any form of alliance much more difficult to enforce.
