Title: 2 vs 2 Tournament
Post by: Pooface on June 21, 2006, 01:46:19 PM
reading the flight ladder post, i thought that it might be fun to do a little 2v2 tourney. seeing as the world cup is on i guess we could have a little AH golden joystick competition of our own... :)


if anyone's interested, grab a partner, write both of your names here, and in a couple of days i'll draw up a fight chart :)

winners get to use a golden joystick as their avatard (i'll make one) :)

i reckon we could have a bit of a laugh with it, anyone want to volunteer?

Maybe they should come out with a cable pullin contest.

there wont be any of that...

im really hoping to get some of our resident aces out, aswell as some newer guys, to try and rekindle the art of the dogfight :lol

nah, it'll be decent duels all in the name of fun, we'll all agree on one plane for the entire competition, best 2 out of 3 for each matchup, and hopefully in a few weeks we'll crown the winners as top gunz and gve them a special priz, a carefully hand-crafted golden joystick avatard :D

i'd really like to see some guys take interest in it, would be nice to run something like this every so often...

Im a terrible wingman and always have been unless strict bnz.  I have this terrible habit of unconciously using my wingman as bait, and killing the enemy thats on him about 2 seconds too late.

I'm in gents.  I will get me a wingy.  Just put me down and I will post with wingmans name tonight sometime.  Need to ask a couple of people.

How will the times work for the dueling, Poo?  Nights? weekends?  I remember a previous tourney where those slotted against each other coordinated the times with each other.  We also filmed each fight so as to have a record in case of disagreement.

Hiya Pooface,
   Please sign Timid and me, OddCAF up as wingmen for this.
I've never done one before, but it sounds like fun! Thanks for
setting it up.
  I registered on "flightladder.com" a couple of hours ago
after Timid told me about this.

Regards,

ok, well, i was thinking that i would take down all the names, draw up a tournament table, and the teams responsible for each fight would organise a time between themselves, each recording the fight for later reference, and coming back to me with the names of the winners, who go to the next round...

best 2 out of 3, the plane is decided by the players for each fight, so whatever it is is up to all of you, spit16 or ju88...





it would be a really great help if you could all post you names together to make it easier for me...

like this:

someone
wingman

just makes it easier for me to find the names nice and quick and add them in.



firstly,

:lol :lol

yeah, unfortunately the only way to get it under 30kb is to have it in 4 bit colour which messes with it...

still, you get the idea :)

so, you going to wing with furby miss hurricane? would be cool if you guys took part :)
Title: 2 vs 2 Tournament
Post by: SOLAS on June 22, 2006, 04:58:22 PM
what about some flight training raptor? best will be you engage one bandit and i go for the other one, when i got my bandit shot down i will wait before i help you with your target, until you request assistance.

just type "1q" (thats for cryptical reason) and i will help you out, same when i have problems, you will know that i need you


anyway: good idea pooface. 2 vs 2 will be big fun, when we win, we will
sell your golden stick in a charity auction :]

Inevitably there's going to be some (cough, cough) pilots coming
up with an excuse or two of how or why they lost. For those guys, I'm
thinking this personally autographed photo of "JohnnyRa" might be
a suitable "booby prize". :D

Wldthing
BatfinkV

Pooface
croduh

Raptor01
SOLAS

Oobi

Clevman

Oddball
Timid

Todd420 ???
Sharp8th ???

then we have 3 others needing a partner:

brick31

i suggest you all either grab a mate or wing with someone else from that group of 4...

faster we get that cleared up the faster the table gets done :D

Post by: Pooface on June 24, 2006, 08:42:12 AM
i need to know your partners though, tinmans i mean.

the thing is, if you went with tinman, then we would have 8 pairs which works great, but if you guys were in two pairs, we would need 8 more pairs to run a knockout. if you wanna do it, maybe you could go with tinman?

ok, this is subject to change, but im trying to get it done quickly because i'm away for a week from tomorrow morning. i know there are a few guys who really wanted to do it, but without 14 more players it wouldnt work :(

perhaps we'll run this one as a pilot, and do a bigger and better one next time? :)



but what do you think of the table?

if todd and sharp dont want to do it we can replace them with you  and your friend DH, and, tinman and brick, if you dont want to wing together we can change it ;)

ok guys, seeing as there is a bit more interest, we wont do an 8 pair starter but we'll try for 16. that's 32 guys we need to find that want to do it, but it's the only way we can include everyone.


i have one problem though, i have to go away for a week from tomorrow. so i think, it might be better if we leave this for a week, get more people to sign up, and when i come back i'll re-do the table and we can have a bigger championship :)

sound good?


ok, so a week from tomorrow, im going to take all the names down and do the table again. we need to get a few more pairs, so go out and get your friends and stuff, and point them in this direction :)

ty for the help guys, we're going to have a lot of fun with this i'm sure :)

Kazaa, once a match has been assigned, those in that match must all agree upon plane, and time of flight.

tomorrow 5pm EST, raptor and me will start a first practice session, maybe some of you will join. we will practice early bandit move detection (EBD) and
fast track & fire (FTF) , than we will continue with practicing tactics to avoid atomic blast shockwaves (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_UvsJRXG80&search=nuclear%20explosion) with flying very low and trying to use dry river beds and tunnels as natural cover ;]

kazaa, super, the planes and fight times are totally up to you. all you do is find out who are are supposed to be fighting, make contact with them, meet them in the DA at a time that suits you all, and pick a plane for each round

best 2 out of 3 wins the match, and the winners go through to the next round.

meant to be like that so people with inflexible times can do it :)

sign up super, find yourself a partner, it'll be good fun :)

When is this going to happen anyway? would teams make there own arrangements to meet in the DA?

Kermit, seeing as the table is being re-drawn, TC could switch with me as it should have been and wing wldthing, and I'd happily fly with you. even if the pairs remain the same, both you and TC need a wingman, I'd happily fight with any of the three of you. so Wldthing, TC, kermitpost your thoughts and we'll have 2 pairs to enter.

I'll explain things to Z234.

The thing is, I am usually only online from 8:30 am to around 3pm PST,which, looking at the posts from the bad guys, isn't going to work out.

I am curious, exactly how are we deciding what planes we are going to compete in? and who will be doing the deciding

I have an Idea on this , if there is not plan in the works.
Title: 2 vs 2 Tournament
Post by: croduh on June 28, 2006, 03:16:45 AM
Poface is the one who decides the planes in fights. Times (fight date and hour) will be consulted with noth fighting sides and their players. That means fights don't have to be all in one day, but can, depends on if the players have time or not.

EDIT: Pooface is afk for a week.

Title: Rules?
Post by: Sketch on June 28, 2006, 10:17:03 AM
I am wondering about a few things and maybe together we can come up with some rules to this adventure.
1) When will we engage for the fight?
2) Altitude of the fights?
3) Are we doing the dweeb thing and HO every chance we can?
4) How many fights will it be, best of 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 99??

Any others any one can think of as well.

Title: Re: Rules?
Post by: Raptor on June 28, 2006, 12:38:59 PM
1) When will we engage for the fight?
- Teams agree on a time suitable to meet. Make sure to record the event so there are no disputes
2) Altitude of the fights?
- Teams would agree on an altitude and meet co alt.
3) Are we doing the dweeb thing and HO every chance we can?
- No HO on merge, but afterwards their is nothing keeping everyone from taking a Head On shot. What one might call a HO another might call a deflection shot.
4) How many fights will it be, best of 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 99??
- Best of 3

I agree on no HO on merge, but all open after the merge for those high deflection shots :cool:

OK, I gotta question about this one.  I've never done any formal 2v2 "dueling" so what are the rules on approach/altitude/angle off, to create a proper "dueling merge".   Do you have to approach side by side, same alt as your wingman?  Do you have to merge at the same time and from the same direction?
The reason I ask is that I had originally envisioned this would be a travel to the center area with your wingman any way you want, then engage as the enemy is found.
I don't care which it is, but need to know everyone knows the rules ahead of time.  

Oh, FYI as soon as I find a wingman with a terminal death wish, I'll send in the names.

Title: 2 vs 2 Tournament
Post by: Raptor on June 28, 2006, 06:08:58 PM
In a typical duel you would approach co alt nose to nose. 5 would work as well Lute, any more than that might seem a little redundant.
Title: 2 vs 2 Tournament
Post by: Lord ReDhAwK on June 28, 2006, 06:36:01 PM
Well Howdy Sloe,

Glad to see ya could make it sir.  Pooh has put out that the participating teams will coordinate through e-mail types of ac and specifics for the duels.  So, you may fight 1 duel in 38's at 10k.  Next duel may be Nikis at 5k.  Unless I have missed Pooh's intent that is.  :noid

You will absolutely love duel tourney's.  These things get way beyond the typical MA rush.  Better breed of pilot IMHO.  After all, there is a Golden Joystick at stake :cool:

Best of 5 would be 1st team with 3 wins, as opposed to 2 wins.  It's what we use on the dueling ladder, and IMHO works out well.

Guys,
  I'm signed up for this and I understand "Pooface" is away
for the week. However, I'm just wondering how we actually
contact each other besides coordinating it here on this BBS.

  Timid told me about a "flight ladder website" which can
be found here: http://flightladder.com/ (http://flightladder.com/)

  Is anyone else familiar with this, and would it work well for
what we're attempting to do now?
