pretty simple, pick from the list and number them in order of preference (or leave them off the list if they don't mean anything to you!)

Basically just want to find what people enjoy playing, want to play more of competitively for prizes. The next season will start around late may early august which will kick off with the duel comp again, a little differently ran to mix things up a little.

So basically 1 being your favourite/most wanted and 9 being least favourite.

* Duel
* FFA
* CTF 4v4
* CTF Runes 4v4 (or 5v5?)
* iCTF 4v4
* TDM 4v4
* TDM 2v2
* CA 4v4
* CA 2v2

Signups Close: Friday 19th of March
Day of Tournament: Sunday 21st of March, check in by 2.30pm, starts 3pm expected finish around 5pm

Couldn't be bothered playing Quake Live because it's too hard to setup? Too many good players to compete against? Not in a team? Don't know anybody?

We are assisting in further bringing new players to set up for our next duel competition with an early and fun FFA competition. This 1 day event will be for noobs only, no players that have competed in a 4SG comp may enter meaning you've got two weeks to get good You have a one in twenty chance to win a decent prize for playing a game you don't even have installed yet, what could be easier

Signup Rules
* Players must not have competed in any 4Seasons Gaming tournament to date (excluding the CTF, if they are signed up)
* Players must be considered below div3 duel skill level
* Players who signup, must check in on the Sunday 20th @ 2.30 pm, and be available for maximum of 2 hours

// for div3+ players looking for a FFA comp, we will be running one after the CTF is finished. Should anyone try to alias for the 'noobs only FFA tournament', they will face banning from all future 4sg run tournaments

Match Format
* 1 Day Event, 2 hours expected time of tournament
* 20 Player Signup limit
* Two Groups of 10 Players will compete in 3 maps, first to 50 score (frags)
* Players scores will be added together for each of the 3 maps, and the top 5 will go through to the final group
* The top 5 from each of the two groups, is the final group and will play another 3 maps
* The player who is leading, by sum of score, after the end of the three maps, wins the tournament and gets the prize

// Should we get more then 20 signup, then 30 will be the limit with top 3 going through, 40 means top 2, and 50 means top 2. All group sizes will be 10 player maximum

The Prize will be a choice of 1 of these 3 items


Maps
First groups 3 Maps
* Grim Dungeons
* Demon's Keep
* Campgrounds

Final group 3 Maps
* Temple of Retribution
* Chemical Reaction
* DredWorkz

Yes we would

SyncError has promptly responded to our humble request to even up the playing field with some Adelaide Private Servers. Source

As for the new ruling regarding players from WA, I will be speaking to a WA representative, a Queensland representative and a New Zealand representative to try and assistant in the fairest 'most agreed upon' rule. Obviously people are still hanging out to hear when the next Duel Comp is, and all I can tell you is it will be some time around may.

During the next few weeks we will be shooting up a FFA competition for rookies only and if all goes well then after the CTF finishes you will see a FFA comp for the pros.

Enjoy your quake, because we've stepped into the kitchen and be slowly c00king something up

Thread: Click here, and post +1

Quote:

Hey, I come from 4Seasons Gaming, and in the coming months will start our 4th running duel comp. It is currently Australia's Largest online Duel Competition (120 players), and we are to continue expanding our numbers for the next season.

We are finding it really hard to establish a player base in Western Australia, due to the ping difference so a thread was created by the WA players to push you allow for internode to put up some servers. Unfortunately, for I have no idea why, the servers are not spawnable via the Administrator Spawn Access, and I am here to track down why.

I have contacted Internode "Acalia: I've shot ID an email about the server and getting access." but it is with no luck "Acalia: I haven't heard anything back yet." I have decided to take an alternative approach to getting your humble attention.

In order to get a little bit of attention to this thread (as we are fully aware your inbox's would get smashed everyday from Quake Livers), us Australian's will be using this thread as a momentum build up to hopefully get the Adelaide Internode servers privately spawned.
