Project Reality Tournament

[Toy]

I'd love to see a PR tourney of this ilk, it'd be a great way to attract more people to the mod. Why go to a more generalised tournament site when you can play in the official PR tourney?

However I would agree with what's been said previously - a properly run tournament of this nature requires a dedicated team of people to administrate if it's going to be at all successful.

Agreed. I would love to see a tournament, and would play.

However, I have seen good tournaments get ruined by:

(1) power-mad/hungry admins who rule with an iron fist (it is supposed to be fun)

(2) power-vacuum: admins who don't do anything and its a free for all

(3) rampant cheating/allegations of cheating

(4) lack of logistical support and servers not prepared for the strain of organized combat like this.

I have found that good tournaments have some form of historic context, and that good leadership and good admins make all the difference.

well i'm not too worried about points 1-3 with the kind of people that make up the group of regular posters here, but 4 is definetely something that you'd have to watch out for.

You forgot -

(5) power-mad/hungry players.

A good tournament does need a scenario, playing it each week simply to see who wins out over a set number of matches is not tournament play. It gets old very quickly. People want to feel involved in something dynamic, where winning the day is more important than just another match win. The old ways were good but it's time the tournament was brought up to date to match the next generation of games. A good tournament to my mind creates an atmoshphere and encourages players to return each week for more of the same, win or lose. The Admins and the way they approach members is also very imprtant, something I feel would be excellent here, even when an admin or Dev makes a rebuttle, it is in an explained and controlled manner. As for cheating, the only way to truely combat it, is to have totaly impartial Admins and IC and a referee in spectator mode who can watch for infringements and can be johny on the spot with a ruling when the need arises. I to have played in tournaments with these problems as have many here ( where did you play? ) and I firmly believe there is a reason we found our way here. If people learn from there mistakes ( not Beckwith though, he never follows orders and is a pain in the arse to find wwhen you need him lol ), then this could be one of, if not the best damn tourny out there.

Lol, yes, it did happen. Check out the tournament page of the site, although you'll have to get your friends organised pretty quick if you're going to play. And good luck in the scramble.
