Loose Deuce Shootout #2 - registration open!!

I will initially be placing pairs in slots as they register in order to show who has registered. Once registration closes, the first round will be randomly shuffled. I'll post a message stating when the 1st round is open and ready to go.

Running for an extended period of time to avoid an opponent is considered a forfeit for that particular flight.


What does this mean? Two minutes? Five minutes? 45 seconds?

One question doesn't seem to be answered: When?

Hard to quantify but I think it's obvious when you see it happening. Extending is one thing, but "extending" across half a sector is well ... "running". ;)

This has never been an issue and I doubt it ever will, I just wanted something in there to remind people not to "extend" too long.

Registration will remain open until all 32 slots are filled. The 1st round will be ready to go right after I shuffle the slots. I'm hoping slots will fill up fast.

I'd be interested in taking part, providing that the duels are at somewhat "Euro-friendly" times :) , since I'm 6 hours ahead of EST...

Setting up a time and place to fly your match is left up to the players. The names of each pair are email links to help you contact your opponents.

I'm pretty sure that if you scream like a little girl while "extending" you have violated the No-Running rule. really!:)

From the referenced page:

Initial Merge: Once within icon range (8K or so), the fight is considered ON and anything goes at this point with the following exceptions:

1.Guns may not be fired until after the first merge.


Ok, begs the Question, "What's the first merge in your book?"

If the "Fight is considered ON" once you are in sight of each other, then it's on.  Go guns on the first pass, and HO if you like.  If you can't fire till after you have merged, the fight is NOT on until then.  

Having a very small number of rules is fine, so long as they are very explicit and not open to interpretation.

(As far as the running thing goes, go ahead and run.  We both have the same fuel load, and if your running from me, I bet I can make mine last longer.)

Ouch out

yes

I'm leaving the CM team and will be resurrecting my old site with the Loose Deuce, Squad vs Squad and the H2H Ladder. I need to work out the rules for the squad vs squad, but that shouldn't take too long. I'll have more details later.
