Tough crowd! :old:

I did just realize my mistake, Lazer has a invitation also being the 2020 winner.

As usual CM Eye will be on for spectators to watch the fights if they want to while NOT being a distraction.

A couple more from the upcoming December KOTH and that would be a good size turn out if we all show up.
Thanks for consolidating that fuzeman!

Well if I didn’t me or myself would have had to. It’s a wonderful team me, myself and I but it’s tough figuring out the check when we go out to eat.
Don’t know whether to predict an attendance from a positive or negative POV.

Thanks for getting me in there, I didn't know I qualified from last year. I'll try to be there for both December and TOC.

Eagler has only won 3, 🤣 😂 🤣
Just messing with you fuzeman, brother.... (referring to how you listed the invitations for April KOTH 🤔)
It would be an awesome fun turnout if all KOTH TOC invitations show up....anyone could win it!

I did list April’s different for some reason it seems. I was going for winner first, wabbits and special circumstances but messed that one up.
I forgot to remind you last KOTH too.

Thinking about the time it should be run. I don’t believe we have any euro-players this year so we can have it earlier at it’s usual time, 3 or 4 pm, or push it back later in the day.
I know we run into the ‘there is no perfect time’ scenario but the earlier we figure out a time you’ll be able to plan for it a little.

December KOTH event: preferably Saturday December 11th
January KOTH TOC event preferably Saturday January 8th or Sunday January 9th
This works for me best....
Hope this helps

I don't like Sunday events so KOTH sticking with Saturday as usual. I like routines.
Second Saturday of December is the 11th for KOTH and we have 5 Saturday's in January of which the 8th or 15th are candidates for the TOC.
That gives me time to run January KOTH later in the month.
I did state after February's wonderful KOTH I was done with the event but I've reconsidered which I'm sure will disappoint the CM Team but at least they wont have to run KOTH.
There seems to be 1% or less of the AH community that likes it so I'll hang on.

All those dates sound good to me, as long as real life don't raise up it's evilness!

Dec 11th has my youngest and his family visiting for Christmas so I will not be there.
Best of luck and thanks for hosting fuzeman!!!

The list is official with addition of: December- Peanut1, TC, tdgShane
TOC list- Eagler, FX1, JeffN, Lazer, Navy, Peanut1, Rylee, SEViper, Simon, tdgShane, TC, train45, trogdor, Violator, Wiley
I went back to the 2020 results post to find what plane Lazer chose and it seems I put up a post announcing the winner but didn't follow up with round by round results and that stuff.
The 2020 TOC Results post is so old I doubt I'll update it but the P-38G was the chosen ride.
Still wondering if an evening TOC would be better than afternoon for attendance.

evenings are generally busier in game in general, not sure if that would correlate to a higher turnout. Evenings definately work best for me.
-
I agree. I think the earlier slot was used to accommodate both US and Euro players but the Euro part of KOTH has disappeared but I did want to ask the participants who will actually be there.
-
Whatever works for the majority
Thanks fuzeman!

OK, how is this. After an in-depth Team discussion, :confused: , we are having an evening TOC. Being the TOC, I would entertain a later start time on Saturday night, say 10 pm, IF that would help attendance.

10pm cst? That's almost too late for me and I not that old yet.

Thanks for the feedback. :aok

That works for me, but it would be nice to hear from others on the list too.

Couldn’t agree more. It is always a thing where no time is great for everyone though.
We do what we can. :aok
-
Anything after 6pm EST start is too late for me, and Sat/Sun nights are usually no-go, too.
Sorry I haven't made it much this year. It's still my favourite event. I'll try to make TOC but doubtful.
Thanks for all your efforts fuzeman. :salute

Thanks for input Simon and I feel right in the middle of a dill pickle :confused:
I’d like you to have the opportunity to attend but now I have to balance having an early event that you may attend that late night people cant versus a later event that shuts you down but allows those late night people.
Argh, the joy of hosting KOTH. We’ll figure it out. I will sit down with a Labatt’s Blue Lite along with me who’ll have a Guiness with myself rounding out the team downing a non-alcoholic beverage. :uhoh
-
I don't ever expect to even win one of these KOTH TOC events.......with that said and dealing with what I recently went through back on December 3rd...
All I need is about a 2 to 3 hour text alert ⚠️ 📢 or phone 📱 📲 ☎️ 📞 call, to make sure I am awake, and up about moving around so my hands/ fingers/ etc are not numb, dead feeling...
Maybe even some of y'all might want to get together early a few hours before the TOC starts and warm up practice some??? Just a thought
<S>
TC
-
At least you get in :aok
I’ll try , WILL, remind you at T-180 minutes.
A few used to come in early for practice but it seems lately I’m in there alone flying through hangers until the last minute and folks start trickling in. More than once I’ve thought we didn’t have enough to run the event, 4 or 5 people, and I check the roster again and we have 7 or 8, still not enough for a real KOTH but it sort of works but the fewer people the more duels we have opposed to a KOTH.
I have noticed a time or three the early person who warms up with me does well with in the event.
-
Getting close so decision time, mostly :lol
This sort of shuts Simon out, but in his own words his attendance would be doubtful, but I'm going with its regular time slot, 9 PM EST.
If you can make the event it follows you can make the TOC. I think we can still swing it an hour either way if feedback dictates that.
edit- we are on ST now.

Do you have what it takes to be THE Aces High's King of the Hill?
http://www.ahevents.net/index.php/events/koth
We have our 2021 Tournament Of Champions to run on Saturday 15 January 2022 in SEA II at 9 PM EST, 8 pm CST, 7 pm MST, 6 pm PST with Lazers choice of the P-38G.
The reservation list for the TOC- Eagler, FX1, JeffN, Lazer, Navy, Peanut1, Rylee, SEViper, Simon, tdgShane, TC, train45, trogdor, Violator, Wiley
Winner of the TOC gets three months of Aces High. While you do need a reservation to fly in the TOC, as usual CM Eye will be enabled to watch fights as long as watchers do not transform into distruptors. CM Eye is enabled in the TA for testing and setup purposes I believe.
Concept:
All players fly the same plane type
Fight to the death
Winner of the round chooses the next plane
Repeat until someone wins three rounds,
which do not need to be in a row.

Don’t write off 2021 just yet!!! We have to finish the 2021 KOTH season with our TOC next Saturday. I have not flown all year but I have six days to figure out how I’m going to sit down for an hour or so. I’m thinking a 5 gallon bucket and a pillow should work.
-
Lots of stuff going on but we do have the 2021 KOTH TOC this weekend.
-
9 pm tonight in SEA II with P-38Gs will start the 2021 KOTH TOC.
You must have earned a reservation during the season and if you didn’t you can try for one in 2022 next Saturday when the 2022 season begins.
Spectators will have CM Eye to watch if they don’t disrupt the fights.
Winner gets three months of Aces High.
We will know THE King of the Kings Of The Hill when it’s over. :aok
I may have to take more frequent breaks tonight as I’m still unable to sit normally in a chair and will need to stretch the back regularly.

So whose going to be the person with the banner behind them?
THE King Of The Hill, That's who !! :airplane: :joystick:
-
Logs are up and round by round results up in a day or three.
Congratulations and -{S}- to Eagler for winning the TOC and being THE King of Kings Of The Hill 2021 was broadcast over the Announcement channel.
-
Was fun. Congrats Eagler, <S> all and thanks for hosting, Fuzeman. :aok :salute
Looking forward to the 2022 cycle. :joystick:
-
Glad you had a good time.
I just remembered SundayAM, think that was it, did show up but they were under a different gameID than the one they earned the reservation under and was unable to fly.
GameID changes are a problem for me and I probably could harass HiTech about it, and I am 1000% confident it would be harassment, to verify them somehow or track them; but it opens up the pandora’s box of who is really using that gameID? Some can see through a gameID and ID a player by voice, fighting style, among other things but I am not one of them. We have had impersonators in the past.
That’s another aspect where a players honesty and integrity, dare I say people have that online?, really comes into play. Maybe that’s another reason I keep hosting it, the people who attend it.
Then again….. maybe my ‘location’ has something to do with it. :rolleyes:
-
Thanks for hosting fuzeman!
Thanks for the great fights all!
Looking forward to next weekend!

Well, 2021 is a wrap! -{S}- and Congratulations to Eagler for winning the 2021 King Of The Hill Tournament Of Champions.
The TOC ran for around a hundred minutes and had eight rounds which is good I guess considering the attendance. First round only had four people but a fifth arrived in round two I believe it was and that was it. One person who had earned an invitation had changed their gameID and was unable to fly. We did manage to get three wabbits and Eagler won that eighth round, third for him, and landed to end the event.
Round by round results:
1} Eagler in a P-38G
2} Violator in a Bf 109F-4
3} Eagler in a F4U-1 {Wabbit}
4} TC in a C.202
5} Violator in a P-51B {Wabbit}
6} tdgShane in a D3A1
7} TC in a Fw 190A-5 {Wabbit}
8} Eagler wins in a C.202 and earns an invitatoin to the 2022 TOC.
Top five killers were Eagler-10, Violator-7, Navy and TC-5, tdgShane-2.
