I like the killing of the Locuz', they die good, gooey, lotta black blood... I aim, fire, they go *BOOM*! he he

Seriously, hello all, my name is Eric, I'd rather NOT say my age for fear of being constantly ridiculed.

As sad as it's gonna sound, I problaby play more GoW than I play with my own wife... :rolleyes:

I came here and joined when I stumbled upon the GoW Tournament Announcement. I have 1 team mate for sure, waiting on a third who may or may not come through (he's having ISP problems). Hope there are still slots available when I hear from him one way or another. Push comes to shove maybe my friend and I can join up with a single player here that doesn't have a complete team neither.

I read through the rules on the Tournament, but I don't believe I saw any information about what the format would be, as far as how many rounds to win, bleed-out time, max round time, whether the matches will be Warzone, Execution, or Assasination, etc.

I also have a couple of other questions:

1 Will the host determine these settings?
2.Who or what determines which player or which team will host the game in each bracket/match-up?

Well, this got longer than I wanted it to, I will end it now, before I keep typi..................................

Hey, welcome to Xbox America. We have a pretty nice group of guys here, and serious flaming isn't tolerated. I understand not revealing your age though.

As for the tournament questions, you'll have to wait until zoboa sees this. He can answer your questions.

Well, I'm the resident Geezer at 35, so don't worry about it. i absorb all the old man jokes for the site :)

There are 8 slots open, with at least four partial teams in the process of being formed (that I am aware of).

As for the scenarios, I have not put them up yet. I am still compiling them, but they will be straightforward with the maps and the settings. The championship match maybe a bit longer (first to 5 instead of 3), but we will see. Expect them up early the week of the 18th, that way everyone has a fair shot to practice the exact maps and scenarios.

The whole Host thing was something I wasn't aware of (lag to other players) when we put this together, so I have been looking into various options to remedy. The original plan was for self-governance with anyone that stoops to using exploits getting the boot (based on feedback).

I am, but the problem is trying to place an impartial ref in 8 different matches, then 4 then 2 then the championship game. Creating a custom setting and hosting.

I am all for it, but working out the logistics is my big issue.

He he, I feel much better, since I am younger than you Z :D

As for the Host issue why not set it up as a "Home Field Advantage" type thing. This is just a suggestion, since I do not know what type of match up system you're going to use, but if you have 16 teams split into 4 team brackets, if a team hosts in their first match up they can't host on their second match up, if they get that far. From the second round on, award host to the team with the player with the most points in each team's previous match. This gives players not just the incentive to win a match but to get enough points to EARN Host for the next match. This way it's fair for everybody, and unless someone loses on their very first match and is eliminated, and they did not have host, everyone will get at least the opportunity to host at least once.

I really don't care one way or the other, I prefer not to host to make the game more challenging, but when I host the lag to all other players (at least so they tell me) is negligible since I have Optimum Online.

Thanks for the welcome, and for relieving me of old geezer status. :)

Thanks... will do. A friend of mine had to send his 3 times (!) to MS and it still did not work right, finally he just gave in and bought a new one.

So err... good luck. :sorry:
