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.

Current sign-ups for the tournament
SleveN
hanzee_panzee
LL22
Sonic
joint
gio
Viitapiru
Jazzy
dikzak
Néroné
Maxwell
Beyazz
Sommarel
Chibi

sharp

Possible (yet to confirm) cast
Whoopz

*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.

That was fucking good these rounds !
And viitapiru and hanzee have been really patient (crashes on crashes )

Chibi · 2016-01-28 21:28:33

Eerily even. Both won the BF109 rounds, 4 to 5.

KarlsoN · 2016-01-30 11:30:45

Whoopz · 2016-01-30 12:11:28

tuia · 2016-01-30 12:55:02

I guess you have up to 1 week to play every round.

Serebro · 2016-01-30 15:21:18

I offer you my apology for not being able to play my match .
Especialy for Viitapiru of course, but also for all who waiting after me .
The unexpected work kept me away from home and this will continue.
I wish you all an excellent tournament.
Best regards

Jazzy · 2016-02-02 16:46:09

I wonder when Gio and Maxwell are gonna do their dogfight?

gio · 2016-02-02 16:56:22

Well I was just checking my conversation with him and he hasn't answered since the 28th ( 5 days ago) . Sooooo... idk

seVen · 2016-02-02 19:56:34

I suggest you remove maxwell from the table so gio and chibi can play their match and LL22 and jazzy.

seventy · 2016-02-03 16:43:36

This is getting exciting, good job guys.

Serebro · 2016-02-03 17:49:32

I want to record some match in free cam mode with someone voicing it.

Better to play your own matches first.

As I have learned, it's hard to voice a dogfight when there's nothing going on for the first 30min.

Serebro · 2016-02-03 21:41:48

Because pilots should comment this shiet

Cause some maneuvers and tactics aren't that obvious for usual players. Like sacrificing altitude and speed to make a tricky move to shoot down an enemy which can sometimes be a bad risk which will lead to a loss.

a pro commentator must have skill to talk even when nothing exciting happening ^^

Whoopz, there's still hope for you to be the weirdest BF-42 commentator!

At least he's doing something to help, unlike you always criticising other peoples work and accomplishments while doing nothing.

At least you consider me a pro commentator ;')

twigs · 2016-02-04 18:32:03

ja you pro

LL22 · 2016-02-07 17:53:04

I would like to shoot down jazzy but i must wait gio vs maxwell.

Chibi · 2016-02-07 20:01:26

I hope that match happens soon too..

Black Mamba · 2016-02-07 21:02:09

All right, I updated the bracket. Dikzak won vs romsharp 5 - 4 and goes to Round 2 of LB. Maxwell failed to show up to play vs Gio, so Gio wins that match by default. He moves on to face Chibi in Round 2 of the WB.

Look at the brackets to see who your opponent is guys!
