Who would have imagined that we'd be getting ready for BaldEagl's FIFTH TRI-ANNUAL ACES HIGH ONE-ON-ONE DUELING BRACKET CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT. It just sounded like a fun thing to do at the time that I started this. It was in response to a thread by someone on the BBs who suggested a tournament for money (and no one seemed too interested). I just decided to take the bull by the horns and go with a bracket tourney. I could never have imagined the response or the enthusiasm from the community.
I'm getting started a day early as I've been busy since going back to work. I was also slightly disappointed that we ran the last tourney on the 64 man bracket rather than the 128 man bracket that the two prior tourneys had been run on. I'm hoping it was just that it was summer and people wanted to enjoy the out of doors.
Sign up here by stating so clearly and posting your in-game name even if it's the same as your BBs name. You have just over two weeks to sign up. The opening bracket will be posted on Sunday, September 26 and each Sunday thereafter until the tournament is concluded. You have until noon CST/CDT Sunday, September 26 to join the fun. Late entries will not be considered. Even if you don't want to join please spread the word in the arenas. Many don't read the BBs and may not know about this event.
As always I encourage players of all skill levels to get involved and welcome the recent transplants from Fighter Ace to join. Since initial match-ups and plane selections are by random draw you never know who or what you're going to get. Besides that it's fun and can be a good learning experience if you want to improve your ACM.
I will periodically post an updated roster in this thread. Please check in to make sure I haven't made a mistake in your in-game or BBs name or your status regarding the tournament.
Once sign-up is completed I will start a new thread in the General Discussion forums titled “Fifth Tri-Annual Dueling Bracket & Results”. That's where you'll find your match-ups and post results of your duels.
Here's the links to the past tournaments:

Congrats to moot, JB11 (two consecutive championships) and TonyJoey as our past champions.
For this tournament I am going back to a volunteer review committee. I need four volunteers; three regular and one alternate committee member. Some tournaments have created work for the committee, others not. Just like the tournament itself, you never know what you're going to get. You may be asked to review films within a 36 hour window. I'll select four (hopefully long time community) members from all volunteers.
Don't let the rules intimidate you. It's all about fair play but situations have occured and people have asked for clarification and thus we have what follows. Please read and understand the rules
(continued in next post)
-
- Brackets will be determined by random draw of names produced by a random number generator in MS Excel.
- If the number of players exceeds a full round I will work them into the bracket although they will have to fly one more round than other players. They will be chosen randomly and disbursed evenly through pre-selected slots in the bracket to achieve balance at the nearest bracket root(s).
- If a player changes their in-game or BBs name during the tournament they must either post that change in the bracket and results thread or PM me with the change.
- Duels must be arranged between the players by PM, IM, e-mail or other means to take place by noon CST/CDT Sunday following each bracket update (6 days).
- Duels will be best of three until the quarterfinal round. From the quarterfinal round forward all duels will be best of five.
- First duel plane selection will be assigned using a random number generator to select from all available fighter and fighter/attack aircraft (except the Me163 and Me262). This will be done individually for each set of duelers.
- During the elimination rounds the loser of each duel selects the aircraft for the next duel. This allows the loser to pick his/her best aircraft to get back into contention and if it goes three rounds each player will have had one plane selection. From the quarterfinals forward the player who is behind in the series chooses the next duel aircraft. This means they could choose as many as three times consecutively to try to get back into contention (they lose the first and second duels then win the third making it 1-2 and get to choose for the third time for instance). If the series becomes tied at any point then the loser of the last duel chooses.
- All duels will take place in the DA canyon area.
- All duels will be 25% fuel load out with player’s choice of gun package and convergence.
- All merges will be guns cold (no firing until you have passed your opponent's 3/9 line).
- All merges will be co-alt at 10K until within icon range at which point a merge break can begin. In addition all players shall observe a 10K ceiling and floor (within reason) at all times prior to the merge.
- Anything goes after the initial merge.
- In the case of a draw (both run out of fuel for instance) that duel will be re-fought using the same aircraft.
- In the case of a collision:
* If only one player collides (only one gets the collision message) the duel continues.
* If both players collide (both get the collision message) the duel immediately ends and will be re-started in the same planes.
- Ditching or bailing constitutes forfeiture of the duel.
- The intent is for players to remain in close proximity to one another (2-3K max). That said if at any time the players lose icon range on one another the duel ends immediately and will be re-started using the same planes. This should allow a dueler to simply turn away from a runner to nullify the duel.
- If an uninvited third party interrupts the duel the duel is immediately ended and will be re-started using the same plane. The dueling participants may move to another mutually agreed upon set of fields in the DA in this instance.
- Once one player has been shot down and the other receives a kill message the duel ends. There is no need to land.
- If a player disco's the duel will be re-fought in the same planes as soon as the discoing player re-logs. If he does not or is unable to re-log within 15 minutes he will lose the duel series by default. A second disco by the same player in a duel series will result in forfeiture of the remaining duels in that series.
- Both players will film all duels from take-off in case of a dispute. These films must be saved until at least noon on the Tuesday following the duel or until 48 hours after the end of any granted extension in case of a dispute. If a dispute arises then they must be saved until such dispute is settled.
- Films must be posted by the winning player for all duels from the quarter final round forward for the viewing pleasure of the community. Films may be posted during earlier rounds if both participants agree.
- The losing player will post in this thread after the duel series in the following format:
Plane - Winner
Plane - Winner
Plane - Winner (if needed)
The loser posting is a means to verify that the results are uncontested. If the loser hasn't posted by the deadline then the winner may post the results but they will be deemed contested and films will be required to verify the win.
- This information must be posted by no later than 12:00 noon CST/CDT (as appropriate) Sunday following the posting of the updated bracket so that I can get the brackets updated and re-posted on Sunday afternoon/evening.
- If a player does not show within 15 minutes of the arranged time they forfeit the series. In that case the winner by default must post a message confirming the arranged duel time and a screenshot of the DA roster showing that the opponent is a no show no later than 12:00 noon CDT Sunday following posting of the updated bracket.
- If a duel cannot be arranged between two players each player will have a chance to post the circumstances in the Bracket and Results thread prior to the posting deadline. If only one player posts and it is clear that they are making an attempt to arrange their duel then that player will advance, provided their post was at least 48 hours prior to the round closing deadline. If both players post and it is clear that the issue lies with only one player then the player not at fault will advance. If it is unclear which player is at fault, if neither player posts, or if a single player posts inside the 48 hour window then a random draw will determine which player advances.
- Each player has the opportunity to review films of their duels for potential rules violations. If a player suspects a rules violation they can petition the review committee via PM. Both regular and alternate committee members, the tournament administrator and the opposing player must be copied on the petition (the review committee members, alternates and administrator are listed in the roster). This petition must be filed by the regular deadlines. The player must include a posting of their own films with the petition along with a description of what they believe the rules violation to be. An initial determination will be made within 36 hours of the petition. If the review committee finds sufficient evidence to further their investigation a committee spokesperson will contact the opposing player for their films of the duels. These films must be submitted within 36 hours of the committee's request or the duel(s) in question will be forfeit by that player. The review committee will then make a final determination no later than 36 hours after receiving those films. The review committee may overturn posted results. If a clean determination of a winner cannot be made the review committee will determine an appropriate course of action which could include a rematch, a random draw or the expulsion of one or both players from the tournament. These stated actions are not intended to limit the actions that the review committee might recommend. The review committee's determination will be final. In any case a final determination will be posted by no later than midnight Thursday in a worst-case scenario. If a final determination is not posted by noon Wednesday the winner of the dispute and their next opponent will automatically be given a 48 hour extension of their next duels, which must then be completed no later than noon Tuesday of the following week. If a determination is made by noon Wednesday the normal noon Sunday deadline will be in effect. Because this could delay both the winner's and his/her next opponent's ability to arrange their next duel it is in the best interest of everyone that the players reach an agreeable conclusion to their duels on their own.
- Violations of the official tournament rules as stated could constitute grounds for expulsion from the tournament.
- Any player caught breaking the rules twice in any tournament will be automatically ejected from the tournament.
- The initial bracket will be posted on Sunday, September 26 and each Sunday thereafter until a winner has been determined.
And here's a blank sample bracket:

I was just looking at player participation in past tournaments.
4 tourneys - 14 players - 9%
3 tourneys - 26 players - 16%
2 tourneys - 35 players - 22%
1 tourney - 85 players - 53%
Total over four tourneys - 160 players
That's a 47% hold rate. Pretty astounding in my book.
If you haven't joined one of these and there's essentially a 50/50 chance that you're going to like it enough to return for another it seems like it would be worth a shot right?
Another way of looking at it is 160 players over four tournaments; 3 different champions. The likelyhood is your going to lose along the way anyway so why not give it a shot? I know for myself my losses keep driving me back... one of these days I'm going to get past the first round. I thought I had it last tourney if it wasn't for that collision. :cry BTW, great fights Ink, that was the most fun I've had in one of these yet. :salute

If someone were coming back to the game say the first or second week of October, is there any chance they could still participate in this?

They could sign up and take their chances at first round bye.
Every tournament has some byes during the first round. Usually more if it's on the 128 man bracket than if it's on th 64 man bracket. Everything is by random draw and I won't play favorites to "let" someone have a bye. If they didn't get a first round bye and weren't able to duel by noon CDT October 3rd they'd forfeit the round and be eliminated. If they did get a bye they would have to duel during the week of October 3rd, completing a duel series by at least noon CDT October 10th or they would forfeit and be eliminated.
If I had hard dates in advance I could allow a 48 hour extension to complete the duels in either case, giving until noon Tuesday, October 5th or 12th depending on the bye situation.

If I have my count right we're at 43 players (maybe 44 if Ink gets back in time). With just over a week to go we need at least another 20 players to fill a 64 man bracket.
Where's all those "it's all about the fight" guys? if ever it was all about the fight this is it.
The time it takes to arrange and fight your duels is about 20 minutes a week as long as you'r still in the tourney and scheduling is flexible. Most go off without a hitch.
For the better pilots it's a challenge to go 6-7 rounds flying all types of aircraft against increasingly difficult competition.
For those less skilled it's a valuable chance to work on ACM, to fly planes you might not normally fly and to meet new people. Ask the person your flying against to go a few extra rounds for fun. Film and ask for pointers. Go back to work and come back next time to see what you've learned. This is a much better way to measure improvement in the game than watching your score or rank.
If we don't get to 64 players I may consider reducing future tourney frequency beginning with number seven to semi-annually (summer and winter editions). We'll see how it goes.

I know it's been brought up before and I've resisted but would creating a seeding system encourage less experienced pilots to join? It would create a lot more work for me but the idea would be to pit the pilots who have played in and advanced furthest though past tourney's against each other early and similarliy pit those who have never participated and those who have lost early against each other.
The downside is a lot of good pilots get eliminated early. The upside is less experienced players potentially get to advance further.
Either way the match-ups should be at least somewhat closer.
Another idea related to this would be to have the upper seeds fight best of fives instead of best of threes to add to the challenge.
Thoughts?

Meh, I've never seen a tournament bracket set up like that before. Usually it's set up the 1 seeds play the worst seeds, but obviously that is no good for this. I think random matchups are the best.

I think the random factor works well for this type of event. And it doesn't seem to be broken so why fix it?
-
+1 for keeping it random, it's kind of nice meeting a new guy every week that you've never fought before. A lot of the people that have made it to the QF and beyond are people that fight each other regularly in the DA anyway

ROSTER UPDATE
Hardly any additions since the last update. This might end up being the smallest tournament yet. We're up to 44 and I'd like to see a bracket filled so we need 20 more with a week to go. I doubt we'll get there. :frown:

Usually, these sort of seeding systems are just designed so that the very best players don't meet in the early rounds and eliminate each other.
I was considering signing up, but I'm so new at this, I doubt I'll last 10 seconds against even the worst players. If you need bodies though, I'll show up and fly.

Man, I'm not any good either, but these are great fun, and really excellent learning opportunities. Even if you get totally owned, you have the film to study of a pure 1v1 fight, no MA interferences, and your opponent at your disposal. Usually guys will stick around with you and fight a few more. If they completely dominated you, most guys are good enough dudes that they'll gladly help you out or let you pick their brains. I guarantee if you participate in a couple of these you'll get better every time. And last but not least, you can meet some really great guys that you didn't know before. I met Changeup in this past duel, and he's one of my favorite guys to fly with nowadays. It's absolutely worth getting into, you'll have a great time!

All the more reason to have a go....this is a good fun tourney...no chest beating and the like...I have always come away with new tips to take back and practice .....
-
I like to think that this event helps to encourage people to improve their ACM and ultimately give them the skills to be able to enter a fight in the MA with confidence in their ability to at least give their opponent a good go if not win the fight.
I also like to think that the better pilots who participate are willing to share their knowledge with others in order to improve he quality of competition in the MA's.
I might be wrong but that's what I like to think.

I don't mind getting owned, at all, it's just a game and I don't expect to be great right away.
I'm trying to think of a way to say this that doesn't make me sound like a jacka*s: I was not sure if this is sort of a 'best of the best' type of tournament, and perhaps I should hold off participating until I can at least hold my own against an "average" stick (whatever that means).
If no one minds, I'd be happy to have a go at it.

That is clearly not the case here roadblck.
Last tourney I was pitted against the tourney winner and eliminated first fight. Having made it to the finals and semi finals in past tourneys I think it is accurate, and not boastfull, to consider myself as difficult to fight as anyone who signs up. Therefore i think your fears are unwarrented. Many of the top duelers face each other in the early rounds. Even if you get a 'top stick' don't panic. Anything can happen in three quick fights. Everyone has good and bad days. Just play, the worst that can happen is you make one new dueling partner.

I'm trying to think of a way to say this that doesn't make me sound like a jacka*s: I was not sure if this is sort of a 'best of the best' type of tournament, and perhaps I should hold off participating until I can at least hold my own against an "average" stick (whatever that means).
If no one minds, I'd be happy to have a go at it.
Nah man..sure there are some good sticks that sign up, but this is an all ages gig.....KOTH is the best of the best comp. No body would mind at all ...sign up ...nothing ventured nothing gained :salute
Extend the sign up another week or so and you'll get more people. Like me.
close it now...close it now.... :D.. seriously though..sign up.. I'm pretty sure something could be worked out if you didn't get a bye for the first round.......<looks to the competitors and judges> couldn't it?

Just realized the official "sign me up" format is to post in-game and bbs names.
In my case, they are the same. Roadblck/Roadblck.

Possible reference to the flesh and blood Joachim? Because we all know Yenny can't fight his way out of a paper bag. (joking :) )
So what do I do when my shade meets my real name in the tourney? ;)

That's why there's a Review Committee. I'm hoping they rule in favor of the shade.

Probably. "He" has been getting more flying time than me anyhow, he will wipe the floor with little old me.
