|
|
If you're tired of the traditional 5-flag/15-minute CTF game, we have something for you. How does a 1 HOUR game with no flag limit sound? That's friggin crazy! Lets throw 10 guys into zdctfmp-map01 for an hour and see who starts to break down under that intensity. If you're interested, keep reading.
Endurance CTF:
2 30-minute games separated only by a 5 min break.
5vs5
Map: Zdctfmp-map01
No flag limit
We're looking to make 2 teams of 7 players. Each captain will draft a player from the roster on a turn-by-turn basis until we have full teams. Being 5v5, theres obviously 2 subs on each team. Subs are just as important as anybody else. In the event certain players aren't here when the game starts, subs will fill in. If a player drops during the match, subs fill in. Captains will have full control over their teams. If the captain asks a certain player to sit out, please respect his decision and do whats best for the spirit of the game. If you're asked to sit and you fail to comply within reasonable time, you will be removed from the game. We'll ask captains to make sure their team understands all the rules and etiquette before the game begins.
This will be a 2-game series. Each match will be 30 minutes long with no flag limit. At the end of the first game, there will be a 5 minute break. I know it's a short break but its as short as it is to help assure players won't cause a delay. Use that time as best as you can. Don't leave your team hanging by thinking you're gonna have time to make some pizza. Short breaks also encourage the concept of a endurance match.
If by extreme chance the final score is a tie, we'll go into sudden death. Sudden death will be decided by a 5 minute match. That will repeat as often as necessary until a winner is decided.
I'm sorry to say but I do need to point some things out. We're looking for people who take tournament play seriously. We expect this to generate a strong roster. By entering yourself into the pool, there is no guarantee that you'll be drafted onto a team. Please don't be discouraged though. If you're interested in this, please support us and sign up. If everything goes well, we'll highly consider making a second endurance CTF in the future which can possibly be expanded to larger teams or more than 2 teams. Take advantage of these events to make your time here on Zdaemon count.
This idea was originally proposed by Mantis-X from back in the early SIN days and is being organized now in dedication to Envy. He'll be leaving Zdaemon to expand his personal life soon so we're throwing him a little parting gift. That being noted, we think its best to have both Envy and Mantis-X as captains. It wouldn't be right of us to dedicate this to him and risk him not participating. We think that's pretty understandable.
Sign-ups will open once this is posted and close on Sunday, July 12th at 11:59pm EDT (GMT-4). Once the roster is locked, captains will pick their teams. First pick will be decided by a coin toss. I will be 100% completely honest. People who know me know theres no reason to contest it. We're looking for an estimated game time of the weekend of the 17th-19th. If you anticipate possible complications, please note it in your sign-up.
Once the final roster is locked in, players will be encouraged to offer contact info on a more private forum. I doubt many people here wanna post their e-mail to ZDaemon.
-- If you can't post on these forums, contact Wrath, Mantis-X or Envy on irc.quakenet.org #doomevo.

There was some controversy over the maps selection. Some thought it was best to vote, others didn't. However, we felt that map01 was neither too big or too small for a 5v5. A small map is too intense and a big map allows a sort of resting period. In order to emphasize the endurance aspect, it needed to be somewhere in between. |

Was asked to sign Chewy and Nostar.
I'll edit an active roster into the initial post once enough people register.
Oh! LoL! I guess I should sign up too. |

Count me in. (if you don't know me, I was once [SIN]Hatred)
I do have a problem with weekends somewhat. I work every other saturday 9am-5:30pm and I'm out playing basketball for a league on sunday nights at 8:00pm, so it'd have to start around 4 or 5 in order for me to participate. I know this is probably an unlikely fit for me, but if it's anytime in between those timeframes, then I'll be there. |

That sounds like something from the ninth circle of hell and personally I would rather stick a fork in my eye. |
