  • The First Subspace Olympics

    I am currently planning with a few other people on a multi-zone, interSubspace tournament. Lemme know what you guys think.
    I really think this would be great if we got it to work.

    What is the Subspace Olympics?
    The Subspace Olympics is a multi-zone tournament. There is one round in each zone and whoever has the most points at the end wins the tourny.

    How many players should be recruited per team? How many teams are allowed?
    It is suggested that at least 15 players and up to 30 should be on each team. This allows for each team to have an adequate amount of spectators and subs. One team ONLY will be allowed to represent their respective zone.

    What should the Zone elected Captain do once he/she is selected?
    Each team’s captain should contact me, rootbear75, at rootbear75@cox.net with a complete list of the team roster. Also a preferred day and time that will best accommodate his/her team should be submitted. The captain is responsible for getting his team ready with practice time (whether it privately scheduled with other teams or not) and direct coordination with the offical Subspace Olympic Committee (still being determined) Zone elected Captains are also responsible for management of their respective teams (rostering, communication with teammates, starting lineups, etc.).

    How many rounds are there? And can i have my zone host one of the rounds?
    The total number of rounds is to be determined. It will most likely be between 5 and 10. If you want your zone to be hosting one of the rounds, it has to be balanced from the start. For example, (in my opinion) Hyperspace is NOT a good host for a round because it depends on each person's skill and how long they play. Trench Wars is a good host, because it is two teams competing for a single goal. Myself or the committee is not making solid requirements as of yet, but if you want your zone to host a round, please ?message me in game, or email me at rootbear75@cox.net.

    How long will the game last for?
    It will most likely be held over multiple days. One or two rounds a day.
    The average round, based on watching the multiple zones, will be up to 1 hour. The actual game time will vary.

    Are there any restrictions to gameplay?
    None that i can think of. The restrictions are set by each zone's default rules.

    Will there be a prize for the winning team?
    Yes. A banner will be created that depicts the winning team and their zone. This will enable the winning zone bragging rights for having “The Best of the Best” of Subspace/Continuum flaggers until the next Subspace Olympics. Any additional prizes or side bets optional and open for discussion.

    When are the Olympics going to be held?
    It depends on when we can get the teams signed up, when we can get the committee all sorted out.

    Can I be on the committee?
    To be on the Subspace Olympic Committee, it is extremely PREFERABLE that you are a staff member. This will enable the easiest coordination between the committee and the staff.
    Your zone must host one of the rounds.
    This is different than your zone being in one of the rounds, as i will be contacting the captains anyway.
    The Committee is for the planning purposes of the committee.

    I am still formulating other ideas in my head as of now. If i think of anything else that needs to be said, i will let you know.

    Any other questions please post. I have heard of someone attempting and failing. I would really like for this go on.

    Thanks.

    No offense, but something similar has been planned at least 1-2 times before, and never got off the ground. It just takes a huge amount of planning, coordination, and cooperation between zone leaders.

          uh.. i dont need the settings
          i just need space in the zone to host it; a subarena.

          Like i just said in the SSCentral forums, this is the attitude we don't need. The whole reason it failed was that the people coordinating it didnt believe that it could work. Another thing: this whole thing is gonna be an extension of the WZ invitational. If the WZ Invitational just sucks, then it is clear that a multi-zone tourny will not work.
          And i don't need the owners themselves. I just need one or 2 reps from each zone who wants a round hosted.
          Also, if TW wants to use the same roster as before, just lemme know.

            Tw Settings are easy to get.. I have them..

            and you need a private arena in tw for this? Or do you just need public map, if you just need public map you can just get an upper staff to advertise for ?go #olympics however only 40 people can join the arena;

            if you want custom settings feel free to contact me and I can set it up for you.
            help: (how do i shot) (Public 0): how do i travel diagonally? i only have up, down, left and right keys.

              no, locked public arenas are fine.
              need bots to run games, like pubbots in the publics.

                Just because you're in "TWDev" it doesn't mean you can just take the TW Settings and give them to any random person that asks for them.

                  I didn't say i'm gonna give it to him, I said "I can set it up for you if you want" and by setting up I mean I can give him the private arena but I wasn't just gonna give him that either.

                    SSO On hold

                    Attention everyone,

                    i have talked with Yzen, and he made the suggestion to focus right now on the WZ invitational
                    because if it does not turn out decently, then the problem of the SSO even working is mute.
                    so right now, im going to hold off on continuing the planning until it is over.

                    I will repost after the WZ invitational is over
