Rollerball Season I: Sign-ups.

jedirieb · Post by **jedirieb** » Sun Apr 29, 2007 8:07 pm

I've always liked Rollerball, a gametype similar to scrum. It has simplicity to it, because you still are trying to get the scrum into a goal. Only with Dazzle's invention, there are two goals, a timer, set spawn-points, etc. The only problem with this is that there are usually very few people (if any at all), in the Rollerball server.

I want to change this with a league. This would give us all a reason to get together and play Rollerball, with teams of up to 4 vs 4 (possibly 5 vs 5 if lag is good, but unlikely with a gametype like this). The season will start on Monday, June 11th, at 9:30 EST, with drafts about two weeks beforehand (these two dates may get pushed back, depending on the amount of people who sign up). My goal is to have six teams with six players each, and a few players as back-ups in the pool. This probably won't happen, but we'll see how far we can get on it.

It is required that everyone modifies their TT folder accordingly to the notes on the following webpage made by Nuts. This will help to reduce lag greatly, but only if everyone follows it (as has been shown in PSL). Thanks Nuts!: http://nutstank.googlepages.com/changingthepref.cs

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is needed:
-4-6 Captains (depending on amount of players)
-40 participants (24 for 4 teams of 6)

-Commissioner: Jedirieb

-Captains: TBD

-Players signed-up ( 18 ): Jedirieb, icEPiraka, Sersh, Cadc(*), Gray K., General Vig., Supra, Dazzle, Feathers McGraw, Leopard, Lonewolf, Player36(*), Bolo, CannedSplam, Tinkerbell(*), Jerry, Ollvar, Brandon

* Might be able to play.

Thanks to Dazzle, Cannedsplam, and everyone else who worked on Rollerball for a great gametype, and great maps to go along with them!

I thought this was going to be at an earlier time?

^ The later time is to allow for West Coasters to get off of work and have enough time to eat before playing. Besides, you'll be out of school by then, right? You should be able to stay up until 9:30 during the summer.

^ No, I can't stay up past 9:30, which stinks. Hope you have a good tourney. :wink:

Oh wow, you're right, lol.

Speaking of which, I'm going to ask If I can join again, I'm allowed to, right?
