Simple had a knife tournament way back. It had a page with the rules, match results and a table I think.

Hey guys,
have you sharpened your knives already? We shall pull the Knife Tournament off then.
Let's do it next weekend. Saturday and/or Sunday, 17th/18th of February at 21:00 CET.
If anyone feels dissatisfied, tell us.

The first stage shall be an open qualifying.
Arena is the town square of St. Vith.
Axis vs Allied.

You have 20 minutes to amass as many kills as you can.
Watch your stabbing, teamkill means -score.

use knife only, wounding with guns or explosives -> disqualified.

refresh your HP and catch a breath in the APC's.

don't pick medic class, the codex forbids bandaging in the open.

don't mess with the trucks, driver's seat only for staff with APC licence.

After 20 minutes of the expected chaos, there is a scoreboard.
The top 4 scorers from each team (or 5, depending on the total number of participants)
qualify for the finals...

The St. Vith Knife Tournament combattants:

Zagros Mette.Soldier hrako
Serebro Karl Dönutz BabyIsDead
Jim Lahey Graizer
Alvarez-Latino Denny
K1ngKunn TheVicar
Xberg AngrySloth
Blindschuetz Maj.MerliN
MONTAG WILD BILL
Arp273 MadMax

Very interesting idea of having a qualifying stage. If it is doable somehow, it should be everyman for himself, no teams whatsoever and you just try to kill everything that moves.

Maybe as a quick set up, add all participating players to one team and have one player in the opposite team as a spectator, then all kills, which will be teamkills, would give plus 1, instead of minus score.

Not a bad idea.
That would be like uuuz's reg test server, only noone could be in the "other team" there.
The spectator could also just not spawn.

Blind can I still play?

This would be great if you could collaborate with uuuz. Seems like the perfect scenario to utilize his server.

Russian MadMax · 2024-02-13 22:33:25

Exactly!! Might be knife ffa at all too

Is entry, use of the church interior a valid strategy?

Lurking in the dark and ambush the unaware like a spider?
Yes, that's valid indeed.
In fact, the entire map is usable. Players can go fishing if they like.
Well, of course it's recommended not to stroll too far away from the APC's.

Yeah, a good suggestion, we keep that in mind.
The host server, provided by -=TL=-FearofthedarkHU, has the reg-patch installed, by the way.

A free-for-all mode is available (uuuz has done some nice mods), but -
Battlefield 1942 is a team game, Axis vs Allied, such is it's credo and we want to keep it like that.

Zagros AngrySloth hrako
Serebro Karl Dönutz BabyIsDead
Jim Lahey Graizer Michaels42
Alvarez-Latino Denny Maj.MerliN
K1ngKunn TheVicar Cpt.Karwsz
Xberg Mette.Soldier Lecter
Blindschuetz WILD BILL
MONTAG MadMax
Arp273

We start the coming weekend, Saturday, February 17, 21:00 CET.
If you cannot make it, don't worry, we intend do play more than one round, everyone shall have a chance to proof his/her skills.
On Sunday, February 18, 21:00 CET, you will have again the opportunity to join the tournament,
or you might want to play a 2nd round (in which case the better result will count).

No, its more like using the stairs, balconies to fight more spectacle like, the way its shown in Medieval and and mid millennium French fencing examples in film.

tuia · 2024-02-16 02:32:49

Are registrations still open? How many players can join the qualifying stage?

Too bad it is not a free-for-all mode, teams can be unbalanced and some players might not qualify if, by chance, they are on the stronger team.

Blindschuetz · 2024-02-16 14:35:55

Yes, tuia.
Anyone interested can jump on in the last second.
32 player slots are available, 21 participants are listed.
The server is located in Germany and is used as backup for Liga wars.
Also the most popular reg-patch is installed there.

This poster depicts MadMax testing the regs on Xberg.

Beware of MadMax, he's a beast! Poor Xberg.

Here is the updated player list:

Zagros AngrySloth hrako
Serebro Karl Dönutz BabyIsDead
Jim Lahey Graizer Michaels42
Alvarez-Latino Denny Maj.MerliN
K1ngKunn TheVicar Cpt.Karwsz
Xberg Mette.Soldier Lecter
Blindschlitz Møller WILD BILL
MONTAG MadMax
Arp273

Date:
Saturday, Feb 17, 21:00 CET
Sunday, Feb 18 21:00 CET

Open Qualifying, one round is 20 minutes.
Play as many rounds as you like, your best score will be recorded.
Top players will be promoted and earn access to the Knife Pit.

use knife only, wounding with guns or explosives -> disqualified.
refresh your HP and catch a breath in the APC's.
don't pick medic class, the codex forbids bandaging in the open.
don't mess with the trucks, driver's seat is only for staff with APC licence.

Watch your slicing and stabbing! Teamkilling counts -2, suicide -2.
Perishing in the barbwire or being pushed by Maj.MerliN off the belfry has no effect on your score.
Please refrain complaining 'bout hit regs, handling with your kitchen knives is different.
If it turns out to be really unplayable for combatants from West of the Atlantic, we shall look for an alternative server.
But as mentioned before, this one is suitable for clan matches.

Was very fun yday, ggs thx , a kind of repetition

Less than 1 hour to start the knife tournament. It is 2 rounds of play, 20 minutes per round. Be there or be square.

Liga Backup War Server [GER] 217.61.5.231:14568

Zatoichi · 2024-02-17 23:56:35

Sorry, spaced on the date, can we do one more?

Blindschuetz · 2024-02-18 10:14:35

Ladies & gentlemen,

we finished the first rounds of the qualifying.
The battle was intense. In other words, it was quite a bit of work.

So, where do we go from here?
As you can see on the score board above, the highest score of each player is highlighted.
You may play as many qualifying rounds as you like, your highest score counts.
The 8 players with the highest scores may proceed to the quarterfinals.
It is obvious that it is very difficult to kick BF2024 out of his quarterfinal place.
In contrast, Darwahl has to improve his score in round 3 and/or 4,
else he might lose his quarterfinal place to a new, more successful player.

The quarterfinals, semi-finals and the final will be held in the Knife Pit, in classic duel, 1 vs 1.

Rounds 3 and 4 are being played tonight.
Due to a clan war we start 1 hour later, 22:00 CET.

MadMax is saving up the kills for the knockout stages and BF2024 is a glutoon.

Maj.MerliN and the rest of the crew do not miss out your chance, tonight at 22:00 CET.

Russian MadMax · 2024-02-18 15:36:21

I played against people with a steel body, sparks bounced off them without damage from my knife strikes, I need to smear the knife blade with dart-frog’s poison like old Indians times

Your time zone is EST, it will start at 4 pm your local time. In around an hour from now.

Zatoichi · 2024-02-18 22:56:49

Said map not found, is it 4 pm on the dot or?

I only ask because I tried connecting after yesterdays first match and I connected just fine, it was bulge,
but now it says map not found.
