He's done it in my tank cup.

Don't forget to tell me when the date and time of your match is, so I can tell it to Whoopz who will do the shout cast.

Anyone down to do a live broadcast of the fights?

D'accord ca marche on jouera dimanche alors.

Confirmez-moi si vous pouvez jouer samedi le 30 ou bien dimanche le 31 janvier 2016 en MP SVP

That would take too much time and as I've already said, downloading those maps for those that don't have them is useless since we can have all planes added server-side in El Al or any other map. Basically there is no need to have 4 rounds or even two if both players play with their planes of choice (ex. If Player A likes the BF109 and player B likes the Spitfire, their match will be only one round. If Player A likes the BF109 but player B prefers the Corsair or the Yak, then there will be one round with Player A using BF109 and Player B using Spitfire, then, in the second round, Player B will use his plane of choice (Corsair) while Player A uses the corresponding plane in the pair, so the Zero.

I can add additional plane pairs such as Mustang/BF and BF/Yak9 since those haven't been added in the plane picking stage.

Round time is still set at 15 minutes.

Still one more contestant is needed!

Karlson you've been added. We need one more before I can start matching up people.

@Sommarel: there is an infantry 3v3 cup planned after this.

@Sonic: If Player A prefers, say, the Spitfire and player B also, then there will be two rounds for that match, so that both players fly the plane they want. If Player B wants the Spitfire and Player A the BF109 then there is only one round to be played.

Je voulais aussi dire qu'une ligue est en train de se former dans Battlefield 1942. Ce sera une ligue pour les petits affrontements entre clans ou teams, genre 3v3 et 4v4. Si vous êtes intéressé d'en faire partie et à jouer contre d'autres teams, je peux vous y inscrire. Les matchs seraient les weekends.

A +.

All right guys, to clear up all confusion regarding the rules I will dedicate this post to them. These are the new rules and replace the ones I set in my first post.

GENERAL RULES
- Please respect your opponent during matches. No name calling or disrespectful behavior will be tolerated.
- Both players are responsible for taking screenshots at the end of each round, but casters and specs might also do so. A match without screenshots will be considered invalid and will have to be redone.
- All matches MUST be broadcasted, a live shoutcast would also be highly appreciated
- Passwords should only be communicated to cup admins and contestants, as well as a predetermined list of voluntary spectators
- It goes without saying known hackers and cheaters are forbidden from entering the cup, even to spectate
- Most of all, have fun!

FRAGS, CRASHES AND SELF FRAGS
Since there seems to be a debate here on what constitutes a frag, the following definition will be used to define it. A frag will only be scored by gunning down your opponent with your plane's MG and/or bombing them. Trying to ram your plane into your opponent to score a frag doesn't count and accidental crashes neither. Crashing your plane into the ground accidentally will not penalize you.

Also, Friendly-Fire will be turned ON and the score system will be modified so that accidental self frags (via self bombing) do not penalize a player's points.

DRAWS
In the event of a 0 - 0 tie, and ONLY if both players fail to score a single frag versus their opponent in that time frame, a sudden death round will follow where the first player to score a frag automatically wins the match.

In the event of, say, a 1 to 1, 2 to 2 or 3 to 3 tie at the end of the match, their will be no sudden death rounds. Instead, the last player to score the tying frag will be eliminated. Example: Player A kills Player B first. 1 frag for Player A. Then Player B frags player A. 1 frag for player B. No further frags are scored until the end of the match. Player B goes to the losers bracket since it took him/her more time to score the tying frag. Time limits will be closely watched by the broadcasting crew so that each frag is associated with a specific time, and the time of the frag, screenshotted (for example, player A killed player B 5 minutes 30 seconds after round start, so at 9:30 on the clock). IMO it is only logical that in DRAW situations, the player that took the less time to frag his/her opponent advances to the next round.

GAME MODE
The game mode for the matches will be in TDM (Team Death Match). As already mentioned, score limit is set to 4 frags per round. There will be two rounds per match for a total of 30 minutes. If a 0 - 0 draw occurs, then a sudden death round will follow.

PLANE PICKING
Planes must be chosen in pairs. The following pairs will be accepted: BF109/Spitfire and Corsair/Zero. Each player picks their favorite plane in those two combinations and if there are differences in plane picking, then another with the second combination plane will be played.
Example: if Player A doesn't like using the Spitfire that Player B chose in the first round and prefers the Corsair, then in the second round he or she may use that plane if the first round was played with Player B's favorite plane. Furthermore, following the pair rule, if player B chooses to pick the BF109 in the first round then Player A MUST fight his/her opponent with the Spitfire and the same logic prevails in the second round.

MAPS
Since map choice is pretty much irrelevant in a dogfight, all fights will take place in El Alamein, and the map will be modded server-side to include the four different available planes. This will reduce the hassle of some players having to install custom maps (such as League DF maps).

SERVERS
League/Clan servers with PunkBuster will be used for the matches and the respective passwords for those servers will be sent to contestants via PM.

MATCH ARRANGING
Once you are signed up YOU are responsible for setting up the match with your opponent and COMMUNICATING the date, time, location (server) and any other important information (such as passwords) to the cup admin (me). A general time frame for matches will be provided as a reference however the official date and time of the matches is set up by YOU, the contestants. You are responsible to arrange sudden death matches if the event of a 0 - 0 tie as well. Once an arrangement has been set by both players, one of the two players will send me a PM with all the details regarding the match so that I can contact the person responsible of casting / broadcasting the matches.

PLAYER MATCHING AND TOURNAMENT SYSTEM
Player matching will be done when 16 players have signed up for the event. Right now there are 14, as already stated. I will try to match the players in the most arbitrary way possible. The tournament, once we reach 16 sign ups, will be a double elimination knockout tournament with a Winners and Losers bracket. Cup progress will be available to everyone on the site Challonge.com.

With Beyazz we have 14 people. We need two more to do the double elimination tourney with loser and winner brackets. Tournament will not start until we have 16 people.

I will post more about the rules when I get back home tonight. Crashes shouldn't count as frags, they're accidents. For that reason someone needs to constantly spec/watch the match and even film it.

Added.

Need a nice website banner. PM me for details.

The tank nations cup was done with chase cam , the same will be done here.

Nerone added. With 2 more we can start.
