1v1 League

[tehloserer]

Hi. After searching the forums I found that the word league shows up four time. There was a "tournament" that Devestaor ran, but it fell out in Apr. This isn't a tournament. I will keep track of points based from win/loss records. These "standings" will be posted in the second post in this thread. Wins will net three points and losses give one point. Round one will only be a two week round. Just to see if there will be enough interest to do longer rounds. Anyone can join at any time by reporting a win/loss. There aren't any prizes, yet, only bragging rights.

1: Games must be played with non-mayhem, low energy, no base settings.
2: Fog of War is up to the players.
3: Games must be played on map from the current map pool. (below)
4: Games must contain "1v1 League" in title.
5: If the game starts, it's legal.
6: If the game DC's then it's just that, a DC. Restart, no points.
7: No more than two wins may be reported per opponent per day.
8: Players are encouraged to play best of three matches, but are not required.
9: Winning player reports game.
10: Losing player may contest, but must have proof. (screenshot)
11: When reporting a win against a player that has never had any points, 1 point will be awarded. I keep a list of all player that have EVER had ANY points. If that player gains anymore points that round then retroactive points will be awarded.
12: Cheaters will be handled as needed. Both those that cheat in-game and in-ladder.
13: Play often.

Map pool:
(2)SK-HighGorund
(2)SK-Startup
(4)SK-GreatRift
(4)SK-RollingHills
(4)SK-UrbanDuel
(4)SK-Valley

I won't be participating in the first round, only running it.

All in all this is something that I hope will help get more player involved in 1v1 games. I'm looking forward to seeing you all on the battlefield! Play, play, play, good game! ^_^

I'm ready to fight.

[tehloserer]

Devestator is awarded 1 point for being first to show interest. Someone knock this kid outa 1st, he's been hogging it for weeks now. ^_^

[devastator]

I have just won 3-4 games one after another...my nickname online is GG_IT_.My stats are disapearing,so don'tlook at them,you won't find anything interesting.So...1v1 is a bit difficult for me,but,anyway,PM me,i'm devastator134 at X-fire,my ICQ is 581-830-518.Waiting for warriors :rolleyes:

[tehloserer]

Names of the ppl you beat, and map game was played on? So I can give them 1 point for their losses. Sorry, forgot to include this in the reporting section.

[eyestrain92]

Hey tehlo. It's ES92. I'm getting interested... Do we have a deadline in mind or is this still fluid?

[devastator]

Oh,I wasn't playing 1v1,I told about my victories just for fun

[devastator]

And one more thing...we can't put points to people that don't understand situation.So we(players) must write in game name that it's 1v1 league match.I,personaly,create server
"1v1 league match(GG_IT_)".

Good idea. Was thinking it would be good to report any games that met requirements, but I can see the abuse. Main line of thought was that if a player saw they had points, but never entered, they might be encouraged to play. On the other hand, players could make up tons of fake nicks just to scam point system. Hmm. Guess this isn't going to be as dynamic as I wanted it. So, for time being, report any games played under that kind of name so opponent knows it's a league game. Just as long as "1v1 League" is in the name. Tell opponents that don't know about it what's going on, and I will give ya one point and still give them one. If they join a second game, I will give the other two points for first game, if you won. This is to get player to encourage new players to participate in the league. A measure I don't want to have to resort to is the use of beginning and end screenshots (F10) of the player listing being posted or mailed with each report. This still doesn't fully stop participants from making up fake nicks.

Low money?mostly world standart is max money.Why low resource?

[tehloserer]

Low resource is to make the game as challenging as possible. Makes players have to make decisions like do I want to cut research to pump out of 3 factories, or pump out of 1 factory while teching off three research labs? Then there is always the ole' two and two play. It also makes oil that much more important.

[devastator]

What about letting players to choose configurations as they need?For example low money-max money,no bases-bases,fog of war-(don't remember name of option)...?

[tehloserer]

Why are you not allowed to have players lined up on the other side of skrimage? Why can't you pick-up the ball in Soccer? Dem's da rules. I gave my reason. Low resource is challenging for both players. Figure out how to manage your income better if you're having trouble with it. I'm running this under a standard game setup so player don't complain that someone else has an easier/harder time getting points. Everyone is playing the same game. Not just in the sense that WZ is WZ is WZ, but the same WZ setup for all players. Equality is fair, might be tough, but it's fair.

[devastator]

And one more question.I can play online,but most players online are not interested in league.Can i gain points playing any players or just playing with league players?
