Nomads release tournament

Tournament Directors: [SNF]CookieNoob & [SNF]PinkFluffyNoob

When? Sa. 4th of March 2017, 15:00 GMT = 16:00 CET*
End of Signups: Sa. 4th of March 2017, 14:00 GMT = 15:00 CET*
IRC channel: #NomadsTourney

*if you are not sure if I did the timezones correctly: the CET time is the one which counts! http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/
or use this: https://time.is/CET

The tourney will use an experimental tourney bot, which will allow to reshuffle the teams that are above the rating restriction or not complete. So if your teammates dont show up, just join the channel and we will find a solution. If you want to sign up and dont have a team, you can also register as single player without team and let the tourney bot decide. Predefined teams of 2 players are not possible atm (in this case try to find a third person).

The featured mod 'nomads' is working again! It adds a completely new faction to the game with a unique background and abilities. Orbital artillery, folding transports, underwater mobile missile launcher and intelligence drones... all that and many more assets like these are in the arsenal of the nomads...

... and you will need it all of them to win this tournament!

Tournament rules:

Spoiler: show

- each team has to have at least two nomad player
- Combined rating (global and ladder, the higher one counts for each player individually) of the players in one team is below 4200 at the day of the tourney
- Maps will be chosen by the TD on the tournament start for each bracket(!). The maps from the map pool will not be played more than 3 times in total and only once per team (max).
- Tournament Director have rights to change the rules anytime.
- A team that is late by 15 minutes will be kicked out of the tournament. Try to be in the channel some time before the tourney starts, so we can start without delay!
- The games will follow faf rules and ethics, anything that is deemed bannable will cost you points.
- Any team that causes a delay of more than 10 minutes runs at risk of being kicked from the tourney.
- Standard game options are the default options. Advanced game options and spawn positions are set individually by the TD for each matchup before the round starts.
- If a player drops due to disconnect in first 5 minutes he might ask for a rehost, which must be authorized by the Tournament Director. (To prevent ragequits)
- Game is hosted by the player who is mentioned first in the ping with the configurations (see the manual https://i.imgur.com/EUt5J0T.jpg )
- Always wait for your ally to die, so you don't desync the game by leaving!
- Host of the game has to make sure that the latest version of the map is played (check in the vault before each game)

Only in the first round: one of the tds will join and check if all options are set correctly. START THE FIRST GAME ONLY AFTER A "OK" FROM A TD.

how to prepare:

Spoiler: show

• play the maps in the list and try some of these configurations
• try alternative options, i.e. crazyrush, civilians,...
• play nomads!
• read the manual https://i.imgur.com/EUt5J0T.jpg
• download the mod "Hard FFA V3" and try it out
• try to get your teammates on teamspeak/skype/mumble

To signup, just post your current FAF name here, together with some message like "I sign up, my current FAF name is XXXXX"

you can sign up alone: on the day of the tourney just before the tourney starts, all players that are not in a team will be assigned teammates.
or
you can signup as a team: the current implementation of the tourney bot doesnt allow incomplete teams, so you have to sign up with 3 players. A team of 2 will be put in the "looking for teammates" part of the initial post, however: if they dont find a 3rd teammate, they will be treated as single signups.


Most common is probably discord or skype, there is also mumble and teamspeak ofc. You will have a couple of minutes to decide on one of them after you got the teammates assigned and before the tourney starts.

Just a quick question.

"At least two members of the team have to pick nomads."

Isn't this a bit too much? I mean, ofc we want to see some nomads action but this means that 66% of the players will be nomads and the other factions will see (on average) only 8% coverage, which is a really tiny amount compared to nomads. Imo it would make more sense to make it "at least one member..." so we could see more nomads on other faction action.

[CookieNoob]

I had it like that (i.e. only one member of the team has to pick nomads) before, but the tourney champion avatar is "King of nomads Nomads Tournament Champion" xD well... that kinda suggests to increase the amount of nomads in the tourney...

I can change it to "tournament champion" ofc, and make it "one member per team". Maybe I can get the "Holy trinity avatar" for the tourney...

EDIT: corrected name of the avatar

[Exotic_Retard]

dont worry farm it will be 66% nomads and 33% uef

assuming each uef com has 2 gloves, thats enough to go around for all the nomads.
