So I'm thinking about hosting an FFA event.

I am debating between allowing people to sign-up so we can sort them into predetermined groups on the night this would occur, or sorting things out when we see how big of a turn-out we have on this night.......due to advertising it on the forums, irc, servers, koth, etc. . . What do you think?

What would be the best night for this(friday or saturday?)

I am thinking about having the 'final round' of this only consist of 4 players in the end. As in, the last 8 players that have qualified typically in the final round would play for one of the 4 spots available in another round. What do you think of this idea? I'm thinking that if we weeded it down to the top 4 guys, that it would be much more competitive, intense, and perhaps more entertaining for people on tastycast(I'm sure jehar would be up for the job). Besides, it's not like we'd be losing anything being that there's already a top 8 battle in order to qualify for the actual final. Let me know what you think.

ALSO, feel free to post just to say that you'd be interested in participating

Friday, 9 PM would be good for me.

Depending on turn out , I think having 6 players per qualifying group would be ideal. Say theres 24 players. 4 matches top two players from each group move on and battle in two different groups of 4, for a final consisting of the top four players . That allows for a decent ffa playing experience and a challenging road to the finals

I'd probably show up. I think Saturday would probably have a better turnout.

Are you kidding me! I'll do this! I love FFA. But, if I can't make it, then I guess I won't. Most likely will do this though

I was thinking on the lines of 3 maps..

dm1, dm8, and ___. Unless everyone disagrees. . .

Maybe something like that? Any suggestions for the ____ ?

Ok, how about this...

dm1, dm2, dm3, dm4, dm5, dm6, dm7, dm8, and tastydm2.

Pick your three.

DM1, DM8, and tastydm2.

I should probably participate. Would be fun. I like the format of more familiar maps (instead of those MASSIVE 64-player maps with a bazillion people running around) and smaller numbers. Makes it less of a spamfest. DM1 and DM8 are great picks. DM2, nah, DM3, kinda small, DM4, too big/boring, DM5, maybe, DM6, has that awkward outside area, prob not, DM7, I'm thinking no, but maybe. I'd say no to Match1 too, in case that comes up. So, I'm unsure about what my personal choice would be for a third map, but I guess 3 maps seems to be the traditional "ideal" number of maps to play.

I definitely like the 4-man, or smaller numbers for a "final". Makes it much less campy/spammy. Basically it'll be: stay out of trouble, avoid attention... listen for action, and charge in and pick off the other 2-3 that are fighting with chain/ssg/rockets =)

I'd definitely prefer non-quad maps, or at least quad disabled. Otherwise it's a game of who can control quad the best, as the skill gap between any of the better FFA players, or even TDM players, isn't so large that quad wouldn't put them clearly in first place.
