it just struck me that the last time we had a post in the tournament thread was in May of last year. is this because of the lack of a decent racer or just apathy?...discuss...

For me its the lack of being able to commit to a given time m8 . But I also think its due to the lack of anyone organising such a event. If it was a time trials event of sorts. I'd definately be up for some of that .

Badz' PGR3 tournament was going well until the new racing games came out - I would enjoy some time trial events for those times when I can't get online at the same time as the regulars.

They are ideal for those of us who don't play every night.


Games List : Bioshock - Chromehounds - Command and Conquer 3 - Call of Duty 4 - Conan - Fight Night Round 3 - Forza Motorsport 2 - Flat Out 2 : Ultimate Carnage - Grand Theft Auto IV - Halo 3 - Lego Star Wars II : The Original Trilogy - Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II - Marvel Ultimate Alliance - Oblivion - Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 - Project Gotham Racing 4 - Sega Rally - Tomb Raider Anniversary - Top Spin 2 - Viking : Battle for Asgard - Universe at War : Earth Assault - Virtua Fighter 5

The tournaments section wasn't/isn't just for racing games although that's about all we used it for apart from Pro Evo but with the live problems with that maybe not a good idea to do another compo for that for the time being, but thre's plenty of other games we could do stuff for, but lack of interest always seemed to be the main problem.
 
Well volunteered Flan, get to it.

e-mail chess, DAMN!, why didn't i think of that, Dante your a genius.

yes Pain, i was thinking along the lines of a time trial because you can dip in and out as it suits your work/tv/family commitments. it will also breath life into Forza/PGR4 as they are so deep in dust they are starting to fossilise along with my other games. a Top Spin ladder would be good, at least i know Fezza would be interested. a golf tourny as well, either Tiger Woods or Links. and no Chas, i wasn't volunteering, more a case of me standing still while everyone else took a step backwards. organising the Pro Evo league was like pulling teeth at times. i had hair like MG before i organised it...

u had hair!!! Hard to believe now really.
 
There's lots of opportunities to run some tournaments and I like the sound of the ladders, you could perhaps even do that for Pro Evo. Whatever we do though I think we need to keep it simple and short. I seem to remember towards the end people lost interest in stuff like the PGR TTs once people realised they couldn't compete and maybe weren't as dedicated as some of you others they drifted off. So maybe if we took one game at a time and ran something for a maximum of say 4 weeks then we'd get to play some different games and hopefully keep the interest up. No reason why we couln't have a few one of tournaments/knockout compos or whatever.
 
Ladders I suppose are a bit different and could be run for longer, but again if we reset them every few months to keep them fresh. I've got some ladder scripts somewhere I'll see what we can use.
 
Anyone else got some more thoughts before we go off and half heartedly try and set something up, not get much response then forget about it all again .
