as a side note, i have to commend you edal. not only are you coming up with creative ideas for competition, you're using your own money to reward players for success. that, and you're certainly bound to encourage more people to play sim with competitions like this.

so, a big THANK YOU goes out to you.

I'm up for it if allowed

Northern Ireland
GMT + 0
Evenings and weekends mostly

As for the format discussion I don't mind which way it's run, better and more experienced people than I can decide that. If you notice me online PM me to commence the tryout whenever it suits you, even if I'm playing a difference game.

If there's only 10 matches, then option A is better. If the matches are 20 minutes, there's not much need to play two of them and against a total of only 4 people.

time-zone grouping doesn't work so great for me though... the time of day I'm usually online is mainly when players from Europe are online. Around 10pm to 7am PST which is 6am to 3pm gmt. Cause I work evenings, I'm on a different schedule than my own time zone.

TRK29 will host that extra 10 minute match (if it is ok with him) since we all trust him. In the case that TRK29 happens to be the person I tie with, then he and I will have to agree on whom we want to be referee.

Yes that will be fine for me to host the session.

favorite map: stalingrad, daytime, good weather

somehow i have a feeling i will be making an early exit from this tournament. there is a lot of great competitors and i haven't been flying very well lately, even with practice. oh well, this is all about having fun.

I would not worry to much about not qualifying, instead think positively. Consider that there are 20 participants and of those 20, 16 will pass (so, only 4 wont pass). Try your best (this goes to everyone) it is more likely that you will qualify to the Eliminatory Stage than not.

- Think of it like this, you have an 80% chance of qualifying, is that not a big chance or what?

* recommendation to do well are:
- practice on Aviator Layout if you are not yet using it (watch my video to see why this is advantage)
- Be sure to visit this thread regularly, so that you dont miss any matches. (I have a feeling that some will forget about checking for news and will end up forfeiting a match or two)
- Add all of the Participants and practice with them under the tournament's settings (Get used to your map, and exploit any advantage it may give)

A thought:
I know many of you are excited about Call of Duty MW2 release, I also have a copy of this game already, but, personally, I am more excited about this tournament than playing CoD MW2 (I barely have played it). CoD MW2 will always have thousands of people ready to play (night or day), you will all have PLENTY, I MEAN PLENTY of time to work on increasing your rank. Please dont forget about this competition, get into it, practice.
