Official RSD Ladder
Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2004 12:58 pm
OFFICIAL FIRST EXPLANATORY DOCUMENT
The "tourney" is being promoted to an RSD Ladder (the original team setting modified in the ways below, and an individual ladder to go along with it).
This was not a misunderstanding, but it became one when i neglected to post an update here:
Four member teams is the maximum attendance per team (you can have teams with totals of three players now! w00t! this is what most teams will probably do now). The corresponding minimum is two (individual tourney is seperate).
HOWEVER
If one team's attendance should exceed anothers in any given match, a player MUST be temporarily "cut" from the match to balance teams.
Regular matches will be three games of team survival on maps to be determined at a later date when team application is done.
"Elite" (post-season matches, as i am making this a real ongoing ladder, this will just be season 1) will have three games as well but organized as follows:
#1 game: Team Survival
#2 game: Assassination
#3 game: Double Stronghold
An individual match will be elimination by twos to the extent possible, ones to the extent not possible. Example Results:
Sephiroth Clock
Pie
hx239 (Eliminated)
As seen above, only hx239 was eliminated SINCE the final match should be a 1v1.
Now, the individual ladder rankings:
Everyone participating will be listed together in descending order. Everyone will be awarded score for a match based on the number of participants they killed out of the number of total participants at the match. This disables people being at the bottom of the ladder just for not participating in a match, and any player can participate in as few or many matches they wish (this is allowed because it will become strategically flawed as the season progresses). Matches will be as many games (on one map) it takes to get down to 1 person. Different matches (sets of games) will obviously have some sort of map rotation to be determined.
The team ladder rankings:
The scores for a 4v4 match will be mixed together with those of a 2v2 match and a 3v3 match. Points will be awarded, per match (of three games) for kills (one kill recieves one point). There will also be a one point bonus for a team winning a game in the match. This enables the maximum score of a match to be 4+4+4+1+1+1 (15) if a team should kill all four members of the other team and hopefully win all three games that way. There are no points deducted for loss of points or loss of games. Penalty for not having at least two players at a match (thus making the match's purpose obselete) will be a deduction of five points from the teams total score.
As an added, personal note, I sincerely apologize to hx239, LordLothar, and Dark Angelus for forgetting to take the stick out when i sat down.
Lothar as an added note, most of your points are now void but I appreciate them (especially the ones that arent void).
Now, a few more things:
INDIVIDUALS CAN NOW PARTICIPATE WITHOUT MEMBERSHIP TO A TEAM!

TEAM AND INDIVIDUAL APPLICATIONS WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2004

DURING POST SEASON THERE WILL BE THREE TOTAL TEAMS, ANY TEAM LOWER THAN 3RD IN THE REGULAR SEASON RANKING WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE
