Here are some things ya might need to know for the tourney.

The matches will be held from friday 16-05-2003
till friday 23-05-2003

You will need to come up with a time yourself so ask ur opponent when he has time.

Each match NEEDS a referee else it will not be approved these are the referee's and ONLY these so no asking other ppl on the server.
-La Magra
-Silk Monkey
-Jake Kainite
-Maul (me :P )
-Aphex
-Luke Skywalker

So ask when one of these has time to come to ur
match.

REFEREE'S !! :

You are the ones that give me ther results from the matches u refereed. ONLY referee's can give results so i can be sure i get the right results :). Please give me the results ASAP at my profile or THIS forum !!

If you have ANY questions ask me or Silk Monkey :)

What I meant with the guns is, just because they are in the game, such as kick, doesn't mean we should use them. Ok, forget that analogy :P

About stances, hell man, use whatever you want. Lets not nitpick a things which are blatantly obvious yeah :) Just thing of this tourney as a sequence of duels on the servers, where you're not always palying to win, and if you do lose its not that bigger deal.

Here the stakes are raised slightly as winning does become much more of a primary concern. That doesn't mean however that you should change how you fight, but just doing one thing, namely kick.

In conclusion, like I said before, I know that there won't be anyone in this tourney who will kick spam, in fact if I hadn't of even brought it up, I doubt this conversation would be taking place.

Lets make this an honourable tournament, an exciting tournament and most importantly, a fun tournament.

Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government.

I’m not trying to be silly or offensive, but what about heavy stance? If someone uses nothing but heavy is that going to be looked down upon? I think using only one type of stance should be fine but others may not agree. Also what about saber locks. Or hitting downed opponents in general. I know this has been a topic of discussion in the past and I think we should be clear on what will be frowned upon. I’m really not trying to be sarcastic and I don’t want to “spam” anything myself. Thanks guys.

I don’t see your point about guns Jake because it’s impossible to use them in saber challenge mode. But I’m willing to abide totally by what the organizers and refs of the tourney think and decide. It all comes back to tolerance and respect. Like the other day I asked FaDed to duel me without using red and he said sure. He didn’t have to do that; he was just being totally cool by obliging.

Kicking on publics is so that you can win, kicking here would serve no purpose and benefit nobody.

The objective here is not to win (as such :P) but to all come together to showcase what we've learned, to learn from each other.

Using kick defensivley, or every now and then is, of course, ok as its part of the game. And yues it may be counterable, but that doesn't mean that you should have to just counter it, as that makes for a very boring and uninteresting duel. I wanna beat my opponent at saber dueling, not how fast I can kick or back up so he messes up.

Hell why don't we jsut allow guns ? Make it a FFA, then we wouldn't have to worry about any rules :D See where I'm coming from......

On public duel servers, yes kick is used quite a bit, but in public tournys or ladders, kick spamming is extremely frowned upon and sometimes even penalised.

Come on guys, I know pretty much everyone is this tourney won't kick spam, you're just questioning the limits of the rules, to see who else will :) If any one consistently spams kick in a duel that I'm reffing, I will be firm :)

this is just a little extra suggestion, that if you can't find a Ref. why don't you have someone take a demo of the duel in question and send it to silk or Darth

Yeah, what's wrong with using one move over and over until you win? I was on this public duel server where this guy was kicking A LOT. I thought it was cool but everyone kept calling him a "kick-spammer". When I fought him I just used nothing but the lunge. And I beat him:D

My point is that there is always a way to counter "spam"

I think as results are reported from duels, Silk will be able to perhaps pair up people who haven't managed to meet up with their previous partner by, for example, wednesday. That way they've still got a few days to duel their new opponent. (But hopefully by means of posting on your challenger's profile, you'll manage to hook up)

By the way, this is just my suggestion/idea ;)

What's wrong with using only one move if someone wants to do that?

Rendar: I know the flaws of this system. But I chose this system because people can duel at a time thats convenient for them and their partner, and hopefully the time zones wont make a huge difference.

There is one major flaw with the way this tournament is being run. Now im not blaming anyone or being critical, as a matter of fact Im highly impressed with Silk and Maul for putting in so much work. The only thing i see potentialy going wrong is this. What if the two duelers in each bracket never met up to do, what if you are in a situation like me and cant get ahold of your opponnent. Some people said automaticy win. But think about it, whats to stop other people from just loggin in, talking a ref saying theres suppossed to be a match, and then declaring themselves the winner by default. Or likewise what if 2 people never duel and dont tell anyone. Now there is blank spot on the ladder. Im just trying to figure out a good way to handle the case of default wins and how to keep a full bracket if not all the duels are fought.

No u ALWAYS need a ref and ONLY the ref gives the results of the match even if u are listed as ref here in your own duel that doesnt count !!

Hey Maul, Is there anyway that I can still be in the tourney, I wasn't able to sign up because I did not know about it. Well, anyway, If I cannot join in the tourney, let me know. I have alot of free time on my hands, and I can be a referee if Silk or any of you guys want.

Thank you,

I assume lame stuff will be classed as kick spamming. A certain level of kicking will be allowed but don't do it as your only move, hoping to hit your opponent to the ground before you swing your saber, that was my plan :P

Must be a seperate ref. The ref just makes sure there is no questionable (laming) behavior. The ref also must make judgements if someone lags out as to whether or not to continue the fight.

does that mean that any fights which have already taken place are null and void ?

Also, what about refs such as myself. Do I report my own wins/losses, or do I also need a ref ?

For my first match against huxley I really don't think a second ref will be nessacary, since he is the boss and has control of logs and such :) Like anyone would take my word over hux's anyway......:(
