New tournament: NZF pugNation

[clip]

have not finalised everything but looking to be holding a tournament starting mid-feb boasting a new style not used in a tournament format yet (i think) that is, 6v6 organised pug play. Basically, needs 84 players for signup, making 12 teams of 7 (6 + 1 reserve) - however, the registrations will be individual players only, no team entry.

From this group pool of 84 people, 7 players will be assigned to each team depending on skill & experience to try and get the most even teams possible to make for a good tournament. Will follow double-elimination format and run for approx 12 weeks.

The tournament will be open to aussies as well however nz'ers will have first choice of servers & playing times, and teams will have 1 game a week. To accomodate for our aussie friends games will be starting at the earliest 8pm nz

Not only is this a good way to have fun playing in mixed teams, but also a great way to get people into competitive play and get some experience under their belts, and perhaps a few new teams may form after this - so if you know anyone wanting to get into the competitive/clan scene, tell them to sign up on nzfortress.co.nz and post in this thread to register interest.

There may be a prize for the winning team of this tourney, still to be arranged, will likely be pretty shitty but gives some incentive hey

Please post in this thread if you would be keen to play, and especially please advise if you would like to play medic, for the teams that don't have a dedicated medic one will either be chosen by admins per game, or that can be decided amongst/by the team on game day

Current player count: 73
Current medic count: 10

Keen keen keen.

Possibly might want to med, if it looks like there may not be enough, and if I get hooked up with a good team.

Genius move of behalf of NZF btw. Well done.

[ThermalSausage]

Sounds fantastic, sign me up!

Although I'm from Aus, can I perhaps suggest that matches be played at 8:00pm NZ time at the earliest? Because here I'm about 2 or 3 hours behind NZ and 5 or 6 pm here is about as early as most Australians could probably push it.

Those of us with things to do anyways.

Ay bru medic here sounds choice!

[Madman]

Madman - terrible scout/soldier (can medic if required).

You might want to also get people to put what classes they like to play so you can balance (at least a little) that as well when making teams.

[fane]
