I've noticed there are more and more people from that part of the world playing ZDaemon, and I always think it's pretty rough that for them to take part in a tourney they have to battle with impossible pings.

I would love to give an Aussie tourney a trial run, even if it was only an 8 player one (provided we could get a tourney server hosted).

Would anyone from that part of the world be interested if we could get gamearena to host the server?

That would be great, but do you think there would be enough players for a tourney?

I'm pretty sure there's quite a number of people who could enter, if they wanted to. And if it was put on the news, we might get enough.

Is it worth a trial run do you think?

There might be enough players. I'd have to go around mentioning it to people though.

And yes, it's definitely worth a trial run. =D

Even if it doesn't work out perfectly the first time, it may just take 2 or 3 tries before the ball really gets rolling.

Austrailia sucks.

Yep that happened with the euro Int. tourneys, I had to go and recruit players for the first two. I don't think it'll be as bad with an Aussie tourney.

As long as Raider agrees to this and deathz0r can arrange the server, this will take place at the same time as the October tournaments, it'll be added to the news etc at the same time as the others, so hopefully it'll get a good turnout Smile

Plus deathz0r will be persuading people to join Wink

I'll be there.

What wads do you use for the tourneys? Not dwango ones I hope.

There's also:
Starburst
Jstb4udie
Blahnana
Helmaster
Wavarian (probably be the lowest ping he's ever gotten)
and plenty of others....

The wads are chosen by the tourney admin who take it in turns each month. The map to be played in the tourney is kept secret until registration is opened, this gives everyone a week to learn and practice the map.

We try to keep away from maps that are played often and use old, new or rarely played maps, any really as long as they are decent 1 v 1 maps. So you'll have to wait and see Smile Urhash will choose next months tourney map, as I chose this months. And no D5 map 01 won't be used anytime in the near future nor will any other maps used in recent previous tourneys.

lol Scave, you're probably right there.

This sounds like a pretty good idea Samiam, I really hope it comes to light.

Anyhow count me in, I'll keep an ear out should a particular date be mentioned.

The registration will be 25/09/04 - 30/09/04 we can try for 16 players, it can always be made into an 8 player tourney if need be.

I mentioned it to Lachy too, as he's playing in the Euro Int tourney (if the two of them can ever manage to work round the time zones, school and work).

The dates will be exactly the same as for the other tourneys, which for next month will be;

Registration: 25/09/04 - 30/09/04
Round 1: 1/10/04 - 6/10/04
Round 2: 7/10/04 - 12/10/04
Quarter-Finals: 13/10/04 - 18/10/04
Semi-Finals: 19/10/04 - 24/10/04
Final and registration for November Tourneys: 25/10/04 -
30/10/04

Raider has approved this, so we're just waiting to see if there will be a server available now, and waiting to see if deathz0r has enough time to be admin for it Smile

If I can't get into contact with the GameArena server admin (he seems to be on a vacation of some sorts?), I'll probably try hosting a 1-on-1 server as long as humanly possible. It just depends on what happens within the rest of this month.
