I'd be interested in this.. if we could play one map on chile server then the next on an american server anyway?

[komodin]

it could be an option, we will discuss about it

[TeRRor]

I'm interested too.

[Boons]

When is it?

[komodin]

Between wednesday and friday we are going to decide which map we will play. so, as a tempative date, I would say that the tourney will start on saturday or sunday

We talked about this and the decision was that all the tourney will be played in Chilean servers. if you would like to participate, just let me know.

p.s. I'm translating the rules for you

[Rab,d]

I will not participate. gl to my fellow North Americans and Euros that do, though.
I hope it's a decent server. Everytime i play on a chilean server there is lag that is not relative to my ping. I ping like 200ish, which would be fine and competitive...but it plays like i have a 1000 ping. Not sure what makes this happen. If it's like this...the non-chilean guys will have a snowball's chance in Hell.

server ip so I can check out to see if the server is playable?

201.238.222.123:27910 this is the server ip

the tourney will be in the private server which is better than that one and the ip is:

201.238.222.123:27911 and the password is: dday

[komodin]

these are the rules from the tourney, to make it clear.

Matches will be at 50 kills (or more, depending on the map) changing sides.
The tourney will be played in 3 rounds
there will be an specific map for each round (1st, 2nd and the final)
General rules from dday Chile will be used and new rules for this tourney. it

means:
- squads have to wait until the countdown get to 0 (go) to go out from the

spawn.
- there will be one person as judge who will make the players follow the

rules.
- no team killer
- do not throw grenades into the spawns
- Airstrikes or rockets into the spawns are not allowed
- do not use bugs from maps to get advantage over the other squad.
- every player must record a demo as a backup, in case it is neeeded to make

the game clear. (cheats, wallhacks and so on)
- one person from each squad will be designated to post the results of the

match.

Process:

- Squads will be formed randomly. Squads will be divided into groups (all vs

all). the squad with higher score from each group will pass to the next round.
- the best loser squad (the one with more points but that could not pass) will

pass to the second round.
- Finally, the final will be played between the best two squads from the

second rounds. it means, higher scores, more frags (kills) in favour.

(*) in the case of play maps with objectives, points will not be considered to

pass to the next round, only scores (if you win) and frags in favour.

Scores:

- victory : 3 points
- draw : 1 points
- defeat : 0 points

Penalties:

any fault against the rules established for this tourney, 1 point will be

discount to the squad.
in the case of the one squad commited the same fault 3 times in the same

round, 4 points will be discounted from his final score.

Rules are not definitive, they can be modified throughout days.

It's always the ping problem. I have high ping on every server except coolnet, so deal with it.

[InFerNo]

Are we going to get randomly seeded with Chileans as well?

Not the same. I was on one of their servers last night...i had a 145 ping.
But, couldn't hit anything...fell to my death all the time...turned around and would be in a diferent place than a second before, etc.
it's major packet loss...you can't play on a server when 6 out of every 10 frames are lost.

Maybe it's their servers, maybe it's a poor international connection, i don't know..

[Paul]

the problem being the bad connections of non-chilean players vs. the incredible low ping skills of the chileans.
It would be fair if there was a server where both parties have the same ping.

if you prefer, you could be pair up between you. so, I need to know who would like to participate to give them the maps and arrange the match schedule.

anything, feel free to ask

Maybe we could organize a tourney with those characteristics later. same conditions.

[TeRRor]

How about an intercontinental tournament. N. America, S. America, Europe...

Boons couldn't even get the Squads to play. They are formed, but do they play? No!

hahahaa, last tourney there were a bottle of rom as prize. everybody played lol

Until tonight, I had not played on a Chilean server in years but in the past the connection was never a problem. Grinder, with his much higher ping, and I would play there and do fine. I ping 140 on the server now but Rab is correct, it is as if I ping 500-1000.

I don't think they have the same problem when they play in the US. I remember Roman playing on Dirk's and he seemed to do fine.

I missed the constant stream of text binds after each kill. Seeing it tonight brought back memories of the halcyon days of Chilean Dday.

[TeRRor]

Played there with my 250 ping. Only minor lags. Maybe you are too used playing with low ping.
