The Olympics will be fought in all 5 modes, i.e. CTF, Team BM, Team Scrum, Individual Scrum, and Individual Battlemode
A single person can represent their region in more than one Mode. Allowing them a chance to win more than 1 Olympic Skin (Medal)
Our Olympic Team Coordinators!!!
Team USA: Ben (SA)
Team Canada: Jangles
Team Europe: Kris & Jinx
Team PR/Global: SteAlth & Gorilla
As team Coordinators, it's our job to determine who gets to represent the team for each mode (i.e. TBM, TS, CTF, IS, and IBM) We need a 5 man team for all three team events and 2 worthy worriers for the Individual competitions.
Please post your picks here by Wednesday the 17th.
The Official TT Olympic Schedule!!!
Rules
Team Events,
Highest total score of 2 rounds wins!!!
Individual events,
one round!
2 representatives from each Team!
Tie Breakers will then be fought separately! 1 on 1, 3 for all, 4 for all, etc...
Example
Final Score of Round 1
USA Olympian A: 10
Euro. Olympian B. 10
Euro Olympian A: 8
Can. Olympian A: 8
PR/G Olympian B: 8
USA Olympian B: 5
Can. Olympian B: 5
PR/G Olympian A: 0
USA Olympian A and Euro. Olympian B tied for 1st, so they go 1 on 1 Winner Takes Gold, looser takes Silver!
Euro Olympian A, Can. Olympian A, and PR/O Olympian B Tied for second, so they go at it, winner takes bronze!
Everyone else is out...

@ -Z-, that would be fine, except that some of the Individual BM reps are also Individual Scrum Reps... If I'm wrong about that, then by all means... lets do 2 servers for individual events as well :-)
Sorry I misscalculated the time on the team events... but the Individual events may be 3 rounds each, I don't imagine them being more than 4 rounds...

PR over US 15-13 in round 1
US over Eur 28-6 for bronze
@-Z-:
Thanks for "picking up the torch" on co-ordinating! For CTF, are we going with 1 game or 2? There was A LOT of waiting around and not much playing time today in Team Scrum. If we aren't starting the first round of CTF until 10:30 AM as you estimated, I would very much like to play only 1 round.

I propose we all get to our servers at 10:30 a.m. pct, and 1st game is played at 11 sharp (or the closest to it when the server restarts), and that way there is a posability of being done by 12:00 p.m. pct, or a little after. BTW, I think it is 2 games.-Michael

Sorry USA. Next time, I won't assume I can't beat a number 2 seed.

Woot team Canada!
Tourney a bit disorganized, lots of wait etc.
Stealth we still can't see the schedule.
Thanks to planetthinktanks.com for hosting.
Shame on those who sign up and never showed up when your team needed you! ;)

Pacific Rim beat USA 15-13 (both teams agreed on one game)
Canada then marginally beat PR in the finals 31-29 (total score)
So...
Gold goes to Canada,
Silver goes to Pacific Rim,
Bronze to USA
===========================
Rules of engagement for CTF
===========================
Servers will be up at 10am PDT / 1pm EST / 6pm GMT
Estimated game start 10:30 (half an hour later - allowing for the teams to sort themselves out and players to arrive)
Each of first match will be one 20min game, and if the scores are tied (or within 3 points of each other) a second leg will be fought.
The final (and playoffs) will be the same. One game of 20 minutes, with a second leg should the scores end up tied or within 3 points of each other)
If a second leg occurs, the teams will swap colours, and the final score is the total of the two games.
Each country submits 5 players for their team. I would be grateful if team captains could post their lineup so that I know who is supposed to be (and who is NOT supposed to be in the games)
Team Pacific Rims line up is looking like:
LeaderOfThe(SM)2
Gorrilla
MOE
Michael
and myself.
=======================================
INDIVIDUAL EVENTS: BATTLEMODE AND SCRUM
=======================================
Each team submits 2 players for each of the two events, and Gold, Silver, Bronze goes to the three highest scorers. In the event of a tie, a further game will be fought to determine the medals as detailed by stealth at the top of the page.
The Individual events will take place (obviously) after CTF. It's difficult to say how long CTF will take, how many rounds are fought, how much dilly-dallying there is and so on. There will be a short break in between so that the servers can be reconfigured and that those who were just playing can take a breather before their next games.
I am estimating that if CTF starts promptly at 10:30am PDT then it should be over by around 12:00 (PDT) Therefore the Individual Battlemode event can start at around 12:30pm PDT (3:30pm EST / 8:30pm GMT)
Individual Scrum will start one hour later. 1:30pm PDT (4:30pm EST / 9:30pm GMT)
Again, could the captains please tender their player nominations for the solo events so I know who sould and shouldnt be there - preventing the actual players from being able to join the server.

Also a shame FP isnt able to play at the moment too.. we would have won gold in Team Scrum with him there I am sure of it.
If Serrial Killa shows up at all tomorrow, then he can play by all means.. I've just chosen the names out of the people who have bothered to show up so far, based on their performances in the team events.
12/20/2003 (4:07 pm)
You will certainly be missed in CTF.. (any cyber-cafes near you? lol)Also a shame FP isnt able to play at the moment too.. we would have won gold in Team Scrum with him there I am sure of it.
