3 v 3 Counter-Strike Source Tournament at March LAN

We’ve got something in our front pocket for YOU!

Sid and gor at popular request bring you the March LAN 3v3 Counter-Strike Source tournament. Firstly thanks to all that made the February LAN tournament such a success. Well done to all participants. Here are some pointers for those unsure about entering/ re-entering:

Swiss tournament structure – Play your own skill the idea is a little competitive play with your mates, against opponents of similar skill (one match out of x matches is potentially a skill gap).

With this in mind we would encourage friends to team together, for sociability and comradely in the competition. We'd hope that people pick a team of 3 friends, rather than trying to group together the best players.

I would ask a Team Captain to be selected from each team (this person does not have to be the “best player”. I can select the person if required); this is for two reasons; the first, so that the admins can communicate effectively with each team (Team Captain has the minor task of making sure his team is on the server at the given time and reporting the final score at the allocated area. Not much to ask, really), the second; is if the team is particularly interested in organising attack and defence prior to the match (not all people are bothered, which is fine), team captain can marshal his team into positions, and if fitting call in-game. “Marshalling” of teams is not necessary, ‘run and gun’ action will have its place. (If any team wishes some basic advice on a server prior to the LAN, pm sid or gor)

Tournament Structure

Maps

Round 1: de_nuke
Round 2: de_aztec
Round 3: de_dust2
Final: Decided between the two teams.

Matches

The system in which teams play each other (Swiss, brackets, groups, etc.) will be determined after all the teams have been registered. Although after the success of the Swiss system last LAN, it is most likely to be used.

Rules

The style of the Swiss tournament system is first round; random draw, and following rounds each team will be pitted against another team who has done as well (or as poorly) as themselves (where winners are pitted against winners, losers are pitted against losers and so on). The final is determined by the 2 teams with the most points after the x number of rounds.

The tournament will begin at 8pm on March 10th. We will provide the server IP to the team captains (through announcement, projector or handout) at which point the teams will join the servers. Server admins will start and – where possible - monitor games. After a game is over, the winning team leader will inform an admin. Any dispute as to which team won will be dealt with accordingly by admins. Each round will be 15 seconds buy time and 1:45 of playing time (total of 2 min rounds). Once again, we will only be in communication with the team captains.

Knife fights should be used to choose sides. Pistols should be kept and the bomb should be dropped at Terrorist spawn. If you fire a weapon/nade/flash and hit a member of the opposite team then your side loses the knife fight.

Each game will have 12 round each half and all 24 rounds must be played. Rules are simple - 1 point for a win, 0 for a lose. The teams with the most points will play in the final. In the event of a tied finish - the amount of rounds won by your team is totalled and the highest number of rounds wins. In the event of a team leaving early before all 24 rounds are played, the other team receives the remainder of the rounds.

In the event of a 12-12 draw in the final, teams will play one overtime of 3 rounds with $10000 startmoney. The team that won knives can choose which side they start overtime. The first team to win 2 rounds is the winner.

In the event of a team no showing for their scheduled match, after 10 minutes an admin may decide to award a default 24-0 victory to the other team.

Further Information

Voice Communication: Ventrilo server will be available with specific team channels. Ventrilo installer location and details will be made known on the day.
Messaging: The use of messagemode 1, otherwise known as MM1 (that is, comments that can be seen by all players in the server), is sanctioned only in the case of the team leader and should be used sparingly.
Pausing a Match: no match should require a pause in the middle of play; team leaders may use the pause feature ONCE for a 2 minute period at the start of a round if necessary.
Map Exploits: The use of any exploits in a match should be avoided. This includes: defusing the bomb through an object where the bomb is not visible, Reaching map areas through the clipping of walls, floors, roofs, and/or any other normal perimeters, whether by boosting or other means. And using an acquired position to view areas through or over walls. In all cases, the admins will make final determination on whether something is an exploit.

I deleted the thread by accident when I was trying to merge the two CS threads together. Had to re-create the thread - apologies for your post not being here anymore.

main post has been updated with map selection.

would the starcraft nuts like to make a team? I seem to remember rolento, acc85 and others being able to hold their own at cs. could be a laugh.

and what about DAve, uuurrraahh and co - the more players, the more likely you will play similar skilled matches. We may also consider a breakaway; running a top tier final and a bottom tier final.

Ru; any luck getting microplay chris to come along with some mates? and what about dj evil? more cs players the merrier.

On Tuesday night, gor and I will be hosting some counter-strike coaching running from around 8pm onwards. This is aimed at the players who do not have a lot of match experience. We'll look at general strategy and a few tactics in relation to the maps we'll be playing. We'll also be happy to go over anything you wish.

I'll stick the server details up shortly and it'd be ideal if you're all on the Pause Gaming Ventrilo server at that time.

My mate Chris from uni may be getting posted in to complete Pickles Protocol!

Had a word with captain_caveman the other day, and we could make a n00b team. Need 1 more though.

Nice one DAve. I've updated teams slightly, and took the liberty of adding Viper (because hes such and good sport) and GingerPrinz (missed out on the action last time) to the looking for team list.

Dont worry about not having a team at this stage folks. I expect some last minute teams and names to enter on saturday.

Remember; coaching at 8pm on tuesday for those that want it!

Did you pick that to clash with the previously arranged LFS practice on purpose mark?

GingerPrinz

Missed out and would love to play, so cheers for the add Mark, but I'm afraid I don't own HL2, was gonna buy it for the last LAN but this time around the funds do not permit. Sorry dude. I'll see if I can get one of my buddies to lend me their steam account for the weekend.

You can borrow mine, puter not working. I'll just need to work out my password and username, since they are on my puter...

Nice one dude, much obliged.

wasn’t aware of that yega, and Sid, who did pick the slot, certainly knew nothing about it.

I haven’t seen much in the way of interest for either, yet. So its hard to gauge how much on an interference it will cause.

ches and phizz for team E plz! :o


gonna have to rearrange work if us noobs are gonna play. :s

Sid
5th March 2007, 14:29
Ah, sorry. I picked it when we were on ventrilo the other night, but I didn't realize any LFS was happening at the time. What time does your LFS start (still can't find it after searching for all your posts, actually)? Ours will only take an hour, maybe an hour and a half at the very most, so I'm sure we can run both on the same night.

Tiberio

Meh, might as well join team E, someone has to be there to save you:-P

Hey DAve, Caveman, I'd love to join your n00b squad.

Tiberio
5th March 2007, 16:47
The Cats?:-P
I seriously don't know, perhaps "the Rejects"?

Captain_Caveman

Hey DAve, Caveman, I'd love to join your n00b squad.

Sounds good to me.

As an aside, does anyone have a spare TFT of any description I can borrow for the lan, to save me kidnapping the 19" CRT from Lynn and her being unable to do comicyness this weekend.

/me crosses fingers
