OK lads, the draw is complete.

As you'll see the blanks have been randomly filled in and matches 8 and 12 have disappeared , but unfortunately, unless I've messed it up (very possible), we had to have one person spare, that person is unfortunately BarryH

Sorry Barry but unless you can persuade Gis-A-Job to respond or somebody else responds within the week to give you a game you'll have to hope somebody drops out

Unless anyone can think of a way of fitting Barry in ?


So the matches are as follows :

Match 1 - --------- v --Bazza)
Match 2 - 17 Scoobs v 22 MikeeB
Match 3 - 12 Ruthenium v 25 ****ting Duck
Match 4 - 2 Bog v 19 Paul.G
Match 5 - 10 Deano v 9 Neanderthal
Match 6 - 26 JT v 14 Tooting Popular front
Match 7 - 11 PTMW! v 24 Crispy Goose

Match 9 - 8 King_Ping v 5 Norman D. Landing
Match 10 - 15 Dead Man Walking v 4 Crackaddict
Match 11 - 21 Blow Dog v Dizzy

Match 13 - 30 Blind3r v 16 Tiggs
Match 14 - 7 Roadrunner v 1 HHxx
Match 15 - 20 Jimbrit v 13 Merlin


It's up to you to organise and post the time/date and referee (I'm sure you can both agree on somebody to ref) your match yourselves but if possible please post the time/date at least a few hours beforehand (or even a day) so spectators can be ready (to wind you up a bit before the game ).

Orb / Mike : Is it possible to limit the number of players to 3 for the duration of the match so that nobody else accidentally joins and restarts the round ? Any ideas ? (But we do want to allow spectators - dont ask for much do I ? )

I did suggest 19:00 - 20:00 be allocated for matches during this week (and maybe until the comp is won) but not had any responses to that so I'll take it that you agree

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++
SPECTATORS AWARE :


Please ensure that you join the server to spectate before 19:00 otherwise you may interrupt a match by forcing the game to restart the round (you know like it does when more people join if theres only two on ?)

Game on boys, let the fun begin.

Remember, only first place gets to go home and **** the prom queen ! (No not Steve )

We can get HLTV up and running for the games. Change the password on the server and everyone except the two players will need to connect to the HLTV server.

Sound good?

Norman D. Landing

Sounds good to me orb but I've never used ( or seen) HLTV before, we'll (or i will) need instructions ..............

Tiggs

few questions.....

which map?

having auto assigned are we then staying with that till the 5 deaths (is this fair as CT starting gun is better??- do we care about this? if not forget i mentioned it!)

have we decided on a camper rule? i think this should be VERY clear before we start.

whats an autosniper?

i assume grenades are ok?

thats all!

Bionic Tiggs

Norman D. Landing

Hmm good questions tiggs.

Map : We said DE_DUST for the first round and subsequent rounds get voted on.

Team selection, we said autoassign on first round for fairness, after that if both parties agree they can switch sides whenever they both agree if they BOTH so wish.

Camper rule : Hmmmm......... I think (and tel me if you dont agree) that we should simply ask people to use common sense i.e No camping for full rounds. Obviously the game itself does induce camping to an extent, it's in the nature of the game. But 1 on 1 does call for a bit of looking around, I'm not asking people to charge around but remember that you are there for one reason only, to kill your opponent (rather than publicise Maplins) !

Whats an autosniper ? - Bl00dy expensive ! Theyre the scoped automatic rifles (the highest numbered in the menus).

Grenades flashbangs,smoke, defuse kits, even nightvision if you like, are all ok !

Norm

Tiggs

what do u mean good questions? im not gonna ask daft ones

autosniper- they're crap anyway so that ok!

campers- i still forsee this being an issue but maybe i'm wrong.

eg. i hear footsteps coming so i back into a corner, the footsteps are still nearby so i stay hidden- my opponent is looking around near me for 20 secs or so- i stay hidden- when he finally wanders past i put a round in his head!

have i just camped? what should i have done? run towards his footsteps? why should it be me to go meet him when its him who gave himself away with big boots? etc, etc

maybe this wont be an issue but i thinkits best delt with now.

Camper Tiggs

Norman D. Landing

No, you did not just camp, you played the game as was intended, like I said, we cant ask people to charge around. People will (generally) move around until they do hear footsteps, then no doubt they'll both start walking (probably away from one another :roleyes.

But then again 'All's fair in love and war'

Common sense !

Gonna make for some tense games.

.............Hmmmmmmm, hows about, if a round ends without either playing completing and objective or killing the opponent, thats 1 death each, should it get to 5 each, sudden death !

Second thoughts, unless theres a cascade of 'yeah thats a great idea' we go with 'No mega camping, but waiting (as described above) is ok'

The HLTV stuff is all configured. It just needs to be started and the password changed on the server.

To connect within the HL console try.....
/password scoobydoo
/connect cs.whoc.org.uk:27099

Was trying it out last night while HHxx was connected.
