Should I join this? I might only be able to play on Tuesday and Sunday, but everyday in the night (13:00 - 15:00 in GMT).
By the way, my Hamachi fails to connect to Hamachi network adapter each time now. How do I fix this?

[DoIIIi]

well guys, you're ready for next weekend?
@All Participant please read the complete first post such as battle system Rules are coming up soon

at next time it'lll give a numerical sequence (so far 1-17)
after that your opponent for 1round will select per random generator

[Kevin]

Nice, I like the System Swiss. It's fairer and I can still play after losing some matches to fight for the best position as I can .
EDIT:
My hamachi is now working . Was actually a minor problem... I'll join the room now.

[Nullbyte]

i wana join

I would like to join the tournament too, if the rules are acceptable.

btw.: Do we use Buchholz system for more precise determination of ranking?
This is suggested in Wikipedia and is not new to me, because I am chess player.

It basically says:

"If there are 2 persons with the same score, the person who fought the opponents with the higher score than the opponents of the other player is better."
(Which is very unlikely because you fight multiple fights against one opponent and those fights are already a second criteria to determine the better player)

If Buchholz score is still the same, then you can take the Buchholz score of your opponents to get an even more precise evaluation and so on until you have a clear winner.

From Chess I know the following use of the swiss system:
If there is one player who does not have an opponent (because player number is not divisible by 2) then this player earns a free win. You might think this is unfair, but you only can have no opponent, if you are already the last one in score, or by luck in the first round (because we do not have ELO-System like in chess, which would sort the players according to their playing strength) and additionally a free win will not give you any Buchholz points.

Another Question is: What happens if one player does not want to participate anymore?

This is really an important question, because a few players already had to fight against the player who does not want to participate anymore and might have lost some fights against this player and other players who would have fought against the player do not need to fight to get their points.
I say: If one player does not want to participate anymore, all players who would have fought him or even did so get a free win, because of the above shown unfairness.

I have seen the chaos which is caused by quiting players once in a LFE Tournament, and I do not want it to happen again. In the tournament I remember I suddenly was told to fight against a new competitor who REPLACED (lol?!?!) the old one who quit the tournament. This was highly unfair, because all the players who fought the quiting player might have had a much easier fight than I.

Please consider my suggestions, I know what I am talking about.

Rules were added » look 1 page.

@Zelphir yea, that are good question.

Answer 1. but i think we needn't that buchholz judgement, if we getting problem such as this, than we must see, that we can to handle this

Answer 2. well, if the participant is give up, he will automatically lost & lost Wins/Points. so which've need to play with someone like them, he is in next Round sure.
(as it were getting a kind of Joker to enter next Round)

[Dr.Death]

I am going to join too

[Dragon[AC]]

Oh... this tournament will be rly nice!

Swiss System - that means, that everyone has to absolve 6 fights.

But how many rounds? 5?

And when will the 6 fights be absolved? All at one day? (I think, this won´t be able) or as fast as possible?

[DoIIIi]

@Dragon, A.1) 5 Rounds. yes it sounds also good.

A.2) Fights should as fast as possible be absolved


a second thing will to be try out by EdL yet so, -

EdL had ask me, if the Player wouldn't able to connect to Opponent such as via Hamachi, LF2Lobby, Multiserver etc. what they could do?
any simple solution: before, all Participants should be sure that the connection is straight.
aside from, EdL will host a own Server which is from his russian friend Nold be placed at the disposal.

the special tourney server should be hosted soon. i think also that is the endmost alternative
