Aces High 1v1 Dogfight Cup 2016

Black Mamba · 2016-01-13 15:06:13

Hi all. Due to recent interest in hosting another competitive event, I have decided to host a dogfight tournament. It is my honest opinion that cups and tournaments bring more life in the game and that more should be hosted. As such, I have decided to host more small to medium scale cups in the coming months. There will be at least one other DF cup as well as an infantry cup coming up but that's not yet confirmed.

The DF cup will take the form of a 1v1 with the usual rules of engagement. Those rules will be explained here more in details once I am familiar with them, but if someone knows them, please PM me or reply to this topic.

Players can choose the map of their liking for the 1v1, it can be League DF maps or vanilla maps. Server and map choice must be agreed on by both players. The 50/50 rule will be applied, meaning if an American player fights a player from Europe, there will be one match in the American player's server of choice and the other in the European server. If one player doesn't have a server to play on, both matches will be played on a server agreed on by both contestants.

Matches will consist of one round per plane, i.e., player A starts with Spitfire in round 1 and plays with BF109 in round 2 and vice versa for player B. Matches will be no longer than two rounds. Since some dogfights can take a lot of time, score limit to win a round is set to 5.

I have decided to host a cup with 16 contestants. Sign-ups are first come, first served. The cup will be a double elimination knockout tournament with a winners and losers bracket.

I'm open to different suggestions for cup systems.

*VERY IMPORTANT! It is your responsibility to play your cup matches. I will not be the police and run after people to beg them to play their cup matches. If you don't show up for your match, then your opponent wins by forfeit, no exceptions. There will be no rescheduling of matches, except in the event where both contestants cannot make it.

For any questions regarding the cup, please PM me. Since this is a 1v1 tournament, there is no need for complicated sign-up forms. If you are interested, just say so by replying to this thread and I will add you in the list of confirmed sign-ups.

EDIT: SIGN UPS ARE CLOSED. THE TOURNAMENT HAS STARTED ON JANUARY 24TH, 2016.

i officialy request to sign me in too

Black Mamba · 2016-01-15 07:34:48

Added. Room for 6 more players.

SleveN · 2016-01-15 17:48:45

I think its better if you make it to a pure 1on1 ladder mambish. The winner will always play against the winner and the loser will always play against the loser.

Black Mamba · 2016-01-15 17:51:05

How many players would we need for that?

Black Mamba · 2016-01-15 17:54:37

4 more players needed

SleveN · 2016-01-15 17:57:09

Atleast 8.

Black Mamba · 2016-01-15 18:13:07

Or 16. Let's see if we can get 8 more before I close registration, if not then we will start with 8.

dikzak · 2016-01-16 14:56:45

I would like to sign up if i'm not too late

Count ComBat · 2016-01-16 15:02:54

no sign up by me cause i suck @ df n have anyway too often conprobs, but id like to watch it, and this controllable free-cam-spectation would be much better there than to watch in the player-based view i think, any plans in this matter?

Flettnerman · 2016-01-16 16:39:54

Sad it have no flettners, but good luck to all participants!

Believe me, it's not fun chasing planes around in free-cam.

Black Mamba · 2016-01-16 20:32:55

dzikzak I'll add you to the list.

Also it's far easier to have the Chase view when recording, rather than constantly pressing a key to follow the planes.
So Chase cam will be on by default to spec/record.

We have 9 participants, there is still room for more. Combat, it doesn't matter if you are not a pilot, it's for fun.

It's actually dikzak, but dzikzak sounds cool too

Serebro · 2016-01-17 02:50:57

Combat , do it! FOR THE FUUUN!!!!!

Sommarel · 2016-01-17 13:03:02

why not

Count ComBat · 2016-01-17 14:25:17

Sorry guys, i can never know when this 2nd user is online, if so it buggers up my con totally, unplayable then - would be an absolutely distortion of the competition if that would happen while the tournament.. thats why i just gonna watch, will also be a cool fun, still missing some names here thou, comon guys where the heck are u?!

Btw @ Whoopz: it is total fun to chase the planes by free-cam-mode if u hit strg (or was it shift - idk anymore) in addition, makes u 10 times faster than the planes u r following, makes it easy to get in the best position to watch n gives a perfect overview.. well, not that important, but i hope someone makes a video this way so we can watch the whole thing later again )

Nerone · 2016-01-17 16:34:46

Hello all .
If this is still possible, I'd also be part of the tournament

I know you can hit shift lol, that makes it even harder to follow them.

bud · 2016-01-17 18:54:44

Count ComBat · 2016-01-17 19:23:32

Perhaps, I don't find it funny to chase planes around though, lol.
