*EDIT*
Just letting people know that I'm still working on this, just going through different simulations in my head to figure out what I need, what I don't need, what's working and what's ruining it.
*EDIT*
Title may change as this idea grows, but my last 2 ideas were shot down without having a chance to really make necessary changes or even receiving information on how to make it run more to the "under 1 year length" policy.
I have 2 ideas for this tournament running atm. One is if the fellows over at the MAFIA Forum decide to agree, we'll have teams of 4 (Depending how many Mafia guys join will determine how many "open" spots there are for non Mafia players). This tournament will have something that is infamous to Mafia terms called a "Lynch" and points will count toward winning the tourny.. or sacrificing a few points to perform a "Night Action" which can either cripple your enemies or give your team the edge. More details will follow on this set up in the near future (This isn't suspected to even be in sign ups until October).
My other idea if not enough Mafia guys participate is have games on maps like Supermax: Prison Riot and other mafia/cop related maps. All with teams of 4 and very quick eliminations (Round Robin Elimination, in which the bottom half of the teams each set of rounds will be eliminated from the tourny). Think of it as... a lap knockout in a racing game. If you don't score higher than half the teams by the time the lap is over.. your team is ejected. This process keeps continuing until there are 2 teams left. Each team selects a player for each map setup, unknown to the other team (Through pm's) and the team with the most wins 3 or 4 out of 4 wins the tourny. HOWEVER, if it comes to the result of a tie... the two winners from each team face each other in a team doubles game which will be the final judgement call.
Both set ups are in their skeletal phases of being set up. Still waiting to see how many Mafia guys are interested if the 1st one is to be the tourny.. the second one may be a later tourny idea (Maybe next March? or sometime) If I get enough Mafia guys in on this.
If any tournament directors see a problem as this tourny is set up, it is advised to pm me what needs to be changed and suggestions. From my last two tourny's being shut down, my patience is very low on it being locked out of the blue without a chance to correct anything that needs to be changed. Just forewarning you so you don't need to deal with a pissed off player due to something that can/could be avoided.
