We urge you guys to start finding partners if you haven't yet and sign up.

Best of luck.

So I have spoken to a lot of you about this and everyone has given their thoughts.
I know the biggest fear of some guys is that us using tickers will scare away people, especially when we play together.
The pro argument is that it looks good, and it's nice to be able to represent even when playing on your own.

So I am going to say they are optional, if you would like to use the ticker, or give it a try and see if it scares people than please do. If you think it will effect your game and scare people away then you are by no means forced to use it.

Finally what is the ticker?
[VOLT]
Example:
[VOLT] TheRev

Why VOLT? Well I didn't want to use REV, and VOLT is also da part of revolt and revolution, and is pretty catchy.

Hi so please could you give this a read. http://forums.eugensystems.com/viewtopic.php?f=192&t=54478

As for the losers bracket of the 1v1, we are going to unfortunatly not continue with that. Instead we will set up the ladder, and continue to have ladder games played, the official ladder will be released in the next few days.The ladder rules will be detailed along side that.

The reason for cancelling the losers bracket, is it was felt that it is an unnessisary use of time when we could instead move into setting up the 1v1 ladder, and then look to set up another tournament along side that.

We will be using Stiggerz website and infrustructure which he kindly offered, and will make things a little more polished and proffesional. We are also going to look at setting up more tournaments and content both now and after full release, hopefully even have more on the line than pride with some prizes.

Interms of the team, it will more or less stay the same. Active players will remain the core of the team and we will look to be a prominant part of the expanding team game within AoA.

Again please let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you guys can get behind this :).

So we know have the winner of the knock out tournament, Well done Szalami1, but you may be wondering what now?

We still have the losers bracket games to be played. Now these will be less formal, you guys can kind of arrange them and play them yourselves, i won't be recording them. So yea if you could just speak to who ever you are meant to be playing and make sure the game happens that would be great. For the guys who are waiting on the result of a previous game before you have someone one to play, then just push those guys to get their game played. Just let me and or Stiggerz know who won.

Once those are done I will be able to complete the ladder and then normal ladder games can happen when ever where ever. You can see the rules for those on the previous announcement. A few guys like Pringles will be busy with a 1v1 tournament in another game, so just be patient with them when ladder challenging.

Other than that I will try and get us some team games / tournaments. If you are not really interested in those please do let me know. Szlami will be playing for another team that has popped up, but will hopefully play for us against anyone else other than them.

I hope you all had fun with the knock out tournament, I know I did. I will add to this if I think of anything else, if you have any questions feel free to ask :).

Hi guys.
So I would like to get an internal ladder setup, to do so I am going to have a knock out tournament.
Now I don't want people to worry, the ladder will mean very litle I just want to see who the strongest players are and who still needs to learn. I understand that some guys are not very good yet and that is fine, there is no pressure on you.

The tournament will be a single knock out, with each winner progressing and each loser playing the other loser to see where each person lies on the ladder.

Once the ladder is up you will be able to challenge the person above you. If challenged you will have to accept with in 48 hours, barring a solid excuse why you can't. You can only be forced to face a challenger once a week, but can choose to face a challenger more regulary if you'd like. If you are afk for a peroid over 2 weeks withour prior notice you will drop down the ladder automatically when challenged.

The No.1 Player will be considered the team ace and will will need to be available should anyother teams challenge us to a 1v1 or ace match. Any new team members will be added to the bottom and have to work their way up.

If I think of anything else I will add to this.

The first rounds are as follows:

Times:
02/09/15
WarriorWouds v Araton @13:40
Slandau v Enigmatic @20:00 CET Or after previous game
MRpringles v Neowave @21:00 CET
Szalami1 v Stiggerz @22:00 CET Or after previous game

If you can not make it on the time or date please let me know and I will find a solution. I hope you all have some fun.

Regards,
TR
