Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am pleased to announce the second installment of KOTR. The first tournament (http://www.globalunreal.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=63) was a resounding success with Dewsick emerging as the victor and Paulie4567 as the cinderella story. When we started the tournament, we were small time. 55 signed up, 45 showed up and 4 rounds were needed to determine a champion. For this installment, I have something different in mind. The goal is 100+ signups with 5 rounds of elimination. 100+ people? Are you crazy? The long and short answers are both: Yes.

KOTR Website: http://www.globalunreal.com/KOTR/

IRC: irc.utchat.com #iPug http://webchat.globalgamers.net/?channels=ipug

What day/time will the tournament take place?
Sunday September 30th @ 3:30pm EST. Estimated duration 5hrs.

How will signups work?
First come, first serve. Signup and guarantee your spot in the tournament.

Seeding/Elimination method?
There will be a community poll mixed with admin discretion to determine the top 30 favorites of the tournament. If there are 10 heats of 10, the top 30 will be distributed equally amongst the initial heats. The rest of the players will be randomly placed amongst these heats. The rounds will go as follows: 100-80-40-20-10-1. So, 2-5-5-5-9 for each respective round.

How will players be re-seeded going into future rounds?
The players that advance will be ordered by frag total and re-seeded based on total frags, not placement in the previous round. Placement solely determines advancement.

What is the maplist?

Round 1 - Deck16

Round 2 - Viridian

Round 4 - Curse

Round 5 - StalwartXL
http://globalunreal.com/utstats/images/maps/dm-stalwartxl.jpg

Map Notes: Deck16 was the championship map for the inaugural tournament. I figured that I would switch up the rotation and have everyone start out on this classic. Liandri will have a few minor edits (nothing game changing for 99.99% of participants.. can call it the detox edition). Viridian is new to the maplist but as the second most popular iTDM 2v2v2v2 map in #iPug, it earned it's place. The map will be cramped and frag heavy, I'm expect high scores on it. The final map in the second installment of KOTR II will be StalwartXL. Hate it or love it, it's the Duku of iDM and the champion will have to persevere through a high fragging bloodbath against the top global talent.

Will newnet be used?
Yes. ZP is extinct in #iPug and on GlobalUnreal.

Heat Length:
15mins in the first 4 rounds, 20mins for the finals.

Main 3 Objectives:
1. Attract the top international hitscan talent for a gigantic tournament.
2. Expand tournament sizes and expectations.
3. Gain momentum going into season two of Global.iCTF.

Media Content:
The top fragger from each round will submit their demo to me and I will have it fraps'd and put on YT to archive. GoodGuyGrins will also be on the microphone keeping people up to date on the happenings of the tournament. iDM might not be the "most interesting" thing to stream but I can guarantee that we'll be keeping it entertaining.

PROMO VID: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBPxXTldx9A

I'm expecting to see a large turnout for this event. The competition will be deep but all skill levels are welcomed/encouraged and people should try and advance as far as they can. The Global.iCTF draft will happen two weeks after this event, so show up and strut your stuff while supporting the community.

Any questions? Post them or find me on IRC. Global.iCTF S2 details on the way.

your obviously stupid if its #ipug then it has to be ig. If it is King of the Ring then it has to be DM. A child can figure this out by using context clues.

oh la la, Sovvie entering the building.. might have to change it to QOTR. Winner gets a free trip to Costco.

@ACF.. it's FFA.iDM. 10 players, no teams. 8/10 advance in round one and then 5 are eliminated from each round until the finals. All skill levels are welcome and based on the current signups, we have quite a diverse range of player. 80 and counting..

Was pretty fun. What was funny is that round 1 took so long that I finished our practice right before round 2 started xD.

BTW Rays and me made it to round 3 of the tournament and got eliminated (top 40). So it was pretty crazy!!! Congrats to Shots for coming 4th place!

If the Great Soge and Shiva get eliminated in the first round you know the competition is tough!! Am not a big fan of instajib but I appreciate the work and effort in keeping this game going so Props to PACO and all the people @ GlobalUnreal for making this happen!

Was a lot of fun! Rounds 1-2 were painful to organize, hopefully that gets better the more tourneys they do. If you guys didn't already know, they're doing a IG CTF league now since KOTR is over. Starts mid October I think. http://www.globalunreal.com/leagues/players.php?s=2

We could advertise this on our instagib servers ....only problem would be the zp to newnet since majority of our players have not used it (pub server)

It'd be a problem because no one would be "used to it"

heh? Is that aimed at me??

If newnet is really that good I'd honestly have no issues with installing/testing etc I suppose I could make an approach to PACO / TIM but the problem is I don't really know them.

I've asked timtim and he said they are only giving it out to a select few people.

Though this was 2-3 weeks back when I asked.

no its not talia serenity aka sean is from the UK

i played kotr as well got thru first round with 15% pl dropped 101 frags

was going to play round two but it wasnt worth me playing with my constant packet loss i most likely would have got knocked out that round cos i was warping all over the place on round 1 as well as taking years to spawn ggs was fun anyhow

I'm not sure I wasn't around playing siege at that time. I came back to ut in 2008 and only played instagib/sniper lol.
