Team Tournament - Updates and Signups!
Site News
Posted by Wildfireskunk on Wed 27th Aug 2008 14:38:49 BST
News Source: Inhouse (www.ddruk.com)
Team Tournament news post So the time has arrived for a bit more information on this to be released I guess! Most important thing comes first. I need team signups! Without enough teams signing up I can't possibly justify holding the league. A lot of you will undoubtedly be thinking that you're not skilled enough to form a team, but it's not all about the winning. I want this to be a fun thing, and I want the trips to be social events as much as competitive events. Just because you might not be able to win it, please don't let that put you off competing. Not only will competing surely help you in getting better, but it should also provide a few good days out with fellow players. Registration Details Now to the rules. As I said before, each match will see teams of 4 players fighting out for victory. Thus each team should consist of 4 primary players, with 2 reserves in the case of a primary one not being able to attend. If a full team of 4 is unable to attend a match from those 6 players, they will forfeit that match. The 4 of you don't have to be from the same place either (look at Solid State Squad as an example). As long as you think you'll be able to make it together for matches. And each area can have as many teams as they like. If Birmingham wanted to make 3 teams all the better for them! To register your team, please email me at Wildfireskunk@gmail.com with the subject 'Team League Signups', and give me your team name, the real names and aliases of the players, where each of them are from (town or county will do),where and what your 'home machine' and also a 'secondary machine' incase the first one breaks down, or has some kind of technical issue on tournament day.The deadline for this is 1st November 2008! The home machine is the machine that all of your home games will be played on.. It can be any kind of 4 panel DDR, Dancing stage, or ITG machine. Hacked or non-hacked is fine as long as you tell me the mix, and if there are any extra songs added. If there are, I'll need a list of what those songs are, and the files will need to be made available so that people have a chance to practice them all. A sidenote to Kris – if you plan on using your machine for the tournament you will need to stick to one mix for the whole league. No changing it depending on who is attending! Dates and Travel discussion So, next step is dates. I plan to implement this in February of 2009, at a rate of 2 matches per month, for as many months as needed dependent on signups. The matches will be held on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month! I will try my best to make each team have one home and one away match each month, but some teams may have 2 home matches or 2 away matches on one month due to the way things work out. This will be balanced by them having 2 of the other kind of match another month. No-one has any problems with these dates do they? And if they do, tell me now and suggest something else. And to give you all time to book the dates off, and arrange around things, I'll post all of the matches and dates (so everyone will know who they're facing on what dates) soon after all the registrations have been given in. As was mentioned in the last thread, some matches would be a lot more problematic than others in terms or travel (Scotland vs Portsmouth for instance...), so a north league and south league was suggested. It's a good idea, but again depends on the number of people entering the league. I'd like to do this as it will make it easier for everyone, but the bottom line is we need teams to signup or it won't happen. If it did happen, at the end of the league we'd probably take the top 1 or 2 teams (depending on numbers) from each league and have them face eachother for awesome matches. On that note, I'm afraid Ireland will very probably have to be exempt from this as travel to them is both expensive and awkward for every team, and having to fly out at least once a month would be a massive strain on them too. The Booty! Prizes! The least sorted of all the areas... A trophy for the winning team is probably guaranteed! Other than that, I'm not sure. All depends on if I can acquire any sponsorship for this, and get people with money interested! I'll keep you all posted on this part. I don't want it to be just prizes for the winning teams though... Rules... kinda. Finally, rules! Haven't totally finished a rulesheet yet but I'll tell you vaguely how it's going to work. Each match will consist of 32 songs. These songs will be chosen randomly via whatever method the machine in question does that, and each team will have 30 seconds to nominate a player to go and play the chosen song. Each player can only be chosen for 8 songs, meaning that tactical picks are pretty necessary. When the random song is chosen, it will be played on the highest available difficulty level. At the end of the song, the player with the highest score gets a point for their team, and it's the team with the highest number of points by the end of the 32 songs who wins. Even if a team has already won by say, the 24th song, both teams still need to play the full 32 songs as all the results will be needed for the table. Scoresheets will be made available on the site before the league starts, and each teams leader will be required to print some out and make sure they're accurately fill one for each match they go to. Both teams will do one for each match so I can check no-ones trying to fiddle the results. After the 32 songs are over each team is required to go and have fun in a social manner with the opposing team. Be this a nice meal, a pub trip, or a visit to the funfair it matters not. Very different to the usual knockout tournaments, but I think it's also very interesting, and a good way of holding a team event. Makes every person in the team count. I think that's all I needed to say... please discuss this guys. As I said before, feedback from the guys who I want to enter this is essential for it to run well. Any questions, possible problems, or anything like that please bring up so I can address them. Otherwise... One more reminder that no matter how good you think you are compared to everyone else, please consider signing up a team for this. I guarantee it'll be fun times for all, and every extra team we get really improves the chances of this being a success. And you all like fun, right?

<a href="http://www.music4games.net/Features_Display.aspx?id=296" target="_blank"><img src="/smile/icon_arrow.gif" border="0" alt="Arrow">A developers view on how Samba Di Amigo is coming along.</a> Now I'm rather embarassed to say that I missed the rush and hype around the Dreamcast outing of this game. Hell, I missed the entire Dreamcast on that note! But with it coming to a slightly more mainstream console I'll certainly be looking to pick up a game that seems to make you look sillier than a DDR player does. They say there's a lot more coming to this version to keep it going including DLC (on the Wii? Blimey!), a new career mode, and by the sounds of it possible online play and leaderboards. Go read the post to see why the idea of shaking maracas has never sounded so appealing <img src="/smile/happy.gif" border="0" alt=":-)" />
