End game tournament Part 1 to end at 11:59pm August 5th
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 7:47 amHi all, your friendly tournament game master here.
Been weeks in the planning, and here it comes.
A mission free-for-all. Starting at every 10th mission, like Mission 156560, as long as they have at least 5 participants and at least 2 on each side. Since we are unable to get an automated script to calculate totals, I'm willing to go through the missions to calculate results, but they'll only be available once a day (a few hours after I get home from work, most likely). Tag team missions and Quintesson missions will not count.
Oh, and for the point structure:
Points are awarded for the difficulty of the mission, so the average level of the mission dictates the points. Take the high and low level of the mission and add together, divide by 2 and round up. For examples:
Level 0 = 1 point
Level 0-1 = 1 point
Level 1 = 1 point
Level 1-2 = 2 points
Level 1-10 = 6 points
Level 1-3 = 3 points
Level 6-10 = 8 points, so on and so on..
I am working on ideas so we can have individual totals as well. But in the end one side will be the winner, whichever has the most points.
The large number of lower level missions will earn close to the number of points equal to the lower number of higher level missions so all levels will be vital to winning the tournament.
I believe this simple method is easiest for all to be involved and not have the level issues of other tournaments and if someone wants to "level down" they have the potential of earning less points instead of more.
Length of tourney will be until the version ends and the second begins. So, when we get a firm date of that to happen, the missions to count will go from every 10th to every 5th or 2nd for the last few days or week, and on the last day, it will be every single mission.
Start time? I'm ready to start soon, I first want to get any ideas on what you guys think about this before we start, to fine tune things. And Soundwave, err Soundmax now, is working on the story line for this tournament.
First missionis this one.
