I'm gonna need 16 players who are interested.
Also, what is everybody's opinion of Sunday day ish? 5pm EST maybe? I would like to make this as Euro Friendly as possible.
Post here if you want to participate. I want a rough idea on how many players we got wanting this, and what time would be best.

Yes murdr.
The 1st one would be a 16 player, pre-registered bracket with random plane selection for each round.
If the 1st one goes well, I will get a new map made and we'll up it to 32 players.
Fairly "standard" duel ladder rules.
Agreed upon pre-merge alt. (future map will have bases @ 2k, 4k, 6k etc)
Hard cap pre-merge. (i.e. 4k agreed upon, no climbing over 4k b4 merge)
No firing 1st pass.
30 sec. extension limit. (after 30 sec you HAVE to turn and merge)
Best of 5 wins.

Count me in 5 pm seems just fine
-
I'd be interested, but would prefer the old Airwarrior Dueling Ladder rules.

I'm open still on what the rules will be.
Less is best IMHO.
ALSO... we need a name.
I would like one I can shorten like we do with KOTH or FSO.

The ones that D.B. hosted in AW that I eventually started CMing was called the ThunderDome Tournament, with the premiss "many will enter, but only one will leave". Those were a regular monthly special event.
Many other tournaments were one-offs and were named by their sponsors (eg. AWCenter P38J Tournament).
Just throwing some name ideas out...(trying to avoid the word 'ladder' since that usually indicates a challenge system rather than a knockout tournament)
ToF Tournement of Furballers
FDT Fighter Duel Tourney
AHKoT Aces High Knockout Tournament
FUR Fighters (or Furballers) Ultimate Rivalry (had to find a way to get "FUR")
AHFE Aces High Fighter Elimination
CoD Clash of Duels
CoF Clash of Fighters (or Furballers)
AHDT Aces High Dueling Tournament
Less utilitarian names
AHTD The ThunderDome :)
AHPG The Proving Grounds
AHFS The Fighter Showdown
KoTD King of the Duels
Agreed upon pre-merge alt. (future map will have bases @ 2k, 4k, 6k etc)
Hard cap pre-merge. (i.e. 4k agreed upon, no climbing over 4k b4 merge)
No firing 1st pass.
30 sec. extension limit. (after 30 sec you HAVE to turn and merge)
Best of 5 wins.
That was pretty much the rules we used, with a redo clause for warps that "materially affected the course of the fight", and discos after the first merge counted as a loss.

If needed I could fly in it.
I'm sure my opponent would like a bye into the second round.

A CM put forth
"Top Gun" for a name.
All jokes aside it's really not that bad.

got a definite time set? and is it gonna be in the SEA and a specific terrain that may need downloaded before hand?

CoF Clash of Fighters

This is going to be a Special Event hosted by me once a month in the Special Events Arena.
It is (as I have said earlier in the thread) a "16 player, pre-registered bracket with random plane selection for each round."
Hopefully we'll up it to 32 if there is enough player participation.
You will have to go to http://ahevents.org/ to register.
(WHEN I TELL YOU IT'S READY)
I don't expect this to start untill Nov. (MAYBE this month... maybe)
-
Check. My misunderstanding. I thought this was an impromptu thing...

ROFL, Lute, there was about 28+ people in the DA waiting for it around 10 minutes to 5pm EST :D

IF that's true, then I better get crackin'.
I'll go see if we can't get the registration setup.
(The CM who deals w/ the website is on vaction IIRC tho'....)

I would be delighted 2:D

so what is the news Lute?
got a registration set up yet?
and how about different divisions?
a flat out 1 player vs another tournament
a tournament for say 2 vs 2
and a tournament for squads? say 4 vs 4 or 5 vs 5 ( have a roster of 6 to 10 per suqad to draw from, so incase a squad member ould not amke it on a certian match date? )
id this what is going to be replacing the FriKOTH , fuzeman mentioned that KOTH would only run 1 time next year on saturdays, instead of having a FriKOTH and a SatKOTH......
anyhows, get er butt to work and keep us posted........
Sourkraut started a 2 vs 2 ladder and a squad ladder but neither never really took off.......his 2 vs 2 ladder did start but people just stopped.......on his 1st go around with the ladders.....the 1 vs 1 went quite well back then......then after his revamp alot of people offered & registered but never fully committed and it died out , which was a shame!
I think if it is hosted by the CM/Events staff and run properly it will become just as well attended as FSO's, Scenario's, KOTH, snapshots and the AHERL has become.......
GOD LUCK, I know it will be another great event for the AH community......and offering 2 vs 2 and squads will make it all the better........

Is that true??? Please, don't do it! It would be a shame! :cry

Gianlupo,
then the AH community needs a volunteer to step up and host the FriKOTH......
wish Gremlin or BigMax would return or maybe you would consider volunteering for CMing the friKOTH?
if I could know for sure I could get off work and host it I would, but I been thinking of , ah nevermind......just need a volunteer to host it and be trained by the KOTH CM's!!
that aside, hope Lute hurrys up with getting his tournament setup and going..... I think it will be even better than the KOTHs...or at least the KOTHs I have observed lately.......( that is just a self opinion, the CM's always do a wonderful job hosting, opinion is toward some of the participants )
-
How about T.K.T. Total Knockout Tournament??
sounds like a pretty spiffy name to me;)
-
this is not a sub. for Friday KOTH.
TKT has merit.
I have a registration page avail. for us to use, and will try to get the first one started this month, or early in Nov.
Just hammering out the fine points.

Ah, I'm afraid I'm not your man. As you may have noticed, I took part in no more than 3/4 KoTH this year... I can't apply for a CM position in this period of my life. :(
Maybe Biggles is your man. I know he said many times he could have been CM for Euro racing, maybe he'll do it for KoTH.
Lute, speak English, dangit! :D What do you mean with sub? Substitute?
Btw, TKT rings right to me! TNT would be even better... Total kNockout Tournament... ;)
EDIT: Lute, where's the registration page? Can't find it at ahevents.org.
