FFA Tournament... maybe?

[Arkon]

In case it'll be held, I'll be in.

I've checked the maps which has already been played in older editions and got this chart (well kind of):

baldm7 FFA1RQ
cleaver FFA1 FFA8 FFA1RQ FFA10
croctear FFA2 FFA8
dazdm12 FFA4
deceit FFA6
dm2 FFA1 FFA2
dm6 FFA2
dm7 FFA4
dokkur FFA9
domus FFA6

dranzdm8 FFA2
e1m1 FFA5
e1m2 FFA1 FFA2 FFA5
e1m3 FFA5
e1m4 FFA5

nindm2 FFA3
omdm1 FFA1 FFA4
paingiver FFA4

q1shw2 FFA7 FFA10
q3dm6qw FFA3 FFA7 FFA9 FFA10
ramses2 FFA7
safe FFA1RQ
sanity FFA1RQ
trimp FFA3
ultrav FFA1
ukcldm2 FFA3

gendm1 FFA1RQ (buggy-removed)

Probably due to the dimension of the maps no ztn has been played since now, that could be a good alternative. But maybe time has come for some serious e1m8!

Hi Mez,

You're the first

Normally the admins/players who are skilled in matches and FFA select the maps as they have a better appreciation of match play and what works / what doesn't. However, the number of players in the tournament can also be a determining factor in map selection. Perhaps take a look at the previous updates on the Bigfoot Quake site or the sign up sheet for the FFA10 tourney (the last FFA tourney) in case it gives a little more info.

I like the idea of a Map database. I did start a map listing over on Wordpress but it was soooo slow to use and didn't allow any sort of coding or database functionality to improve things for the person viewing the page. Good luck with it sir

Kind regards

I'd be interested.

I'd also be interested in discussing which custom maps might get played. For the curious, I've been rebuilding my old quake 1 DM map site into a a google database. You can check that out here:

Hi all,
There is a rumour being discussed in hushed whispers between a number of players in the dark, damp, shadowy recesses of Quake where Knights and even ogres fear to tread, no not Sir Henry's bedroom , that there might just be another FFA tournament in the pipeline. Given the success of the previous ones I'm just wondering if I could assist/persuade/cajole/bribe/blackmail a couple of nice people to organise it, who would be interested in playing?

Just for info, normally FFA tournaments consist of 4 x 15-20 minutes rounds on custom maps which are chosen by experienced players and are played on 2 seperate servers (based on either side of the Atlantic to make it as fair as we can ping wise so everyone gets a chance at being an LPB). The frags from each round of carnage are tallied and the player with the most frags is the overall winner. They are usually scheduled for a Friday or Saturday evening (in Europe) to try and make it as accessible as possible for everyone. The idea is it's just a hour or so of good old friendly Quake fun and shouldn't be taken too seriously

Perhaps if you a get minute and fancy joining another Fun tourney please pop a quick reply below so I can judge the level of support from the community and try to get something started.

Kind regards

Monty
