Just make sure you at least attempted to contact your opponent.
If hasn't responded until the end of the week he will be disqualified.

I tried ingame, and on the forums.. and asking some people in the game if they have him on skype or some what if those count. :(

For future references
can we not host tournaments during exams
thanks

Updated the bracket @ main post.
Modified one of the rules regarding spectators.

I'm gonna have to forfeit i'm working away and haven't got the time to get online so i'm not sure if somebody takes my place or if my opponent wins but good luck everyone

I'm giving you guys 1 more day bonus before I disqualify all of you who didn't even attempt to contact your opponents.
For those who attempted but the opponent did not reply will be transferred to round 2.

Round one has finished, for those who did not respond to their opponent's message have been disqualified.
I've made on exclusion for Jupiel although none of you attempted to PM each other I let him move to round 2 as he seems to be more active in general.
Round 2 will be prepared shortly ~

I like how you guys pay some attention to gladiator, hopefully this tourney ends well. My two cents:

1. Why do you hate Kodachis?
2. You need to stipulate what happens in the case of a draw. I see that you put "first to 11 kills wins" but imagine this: the score is 10-10 and then the next round is a double KO. Oh shit. I'd imagine that whoever gets the next kill would win, but it's something you should mention because some players just require idiot notes.
3. "Pedal" is so loosely defined that anyone can claim that their opponent is pedaling(which in most cases they do anyways). The best thing you can do to address this issue is to have a time limit to rounds, which is what you did. 3 minutes is too long though, shorter rounds would encourage more aggressive play. Average round duration of high level play is around 30 seconds, even with 120/100 stats and rusty swords.

1. I just literally copy pasted this from a previous gladiator tournament, but I guess the reason is due to Kodachi's being different than swords and all gladiators usually fight with normal swords.
2. It's highly unlikely, but if that happens then obviously they have to re-do a match.
3. That's why they have to record a replay, in case someone accuses the other person of something, we can check it.

It'd probably be a good idea to have a staff member monitor the gameplay. @Deviok, sup bro been awhile.

1. Yeah and they'll continue to only fight with a katana if every competition bans them for no reason. If there's not a valid reason for not allowing them then maybe write out the rules yourself instead of copying and pasting. Also, no reason to not allow the few kodachi users around.
2. It's not unlikely, and nothing is ever obvious to everyone.
3. Then you need to clearly define what pedaling is in more depth than "over and over again." Can't exactly hold players accountable to a criteria which isn't even defined.
4. Hai jetmenz. Just lurking as usual. When there is a thread about gladiator, cosmic forces will draw me near.

1. Now you're being unreasonable - I don't see anyone crying about kodachi's not being allowed..?
2. It actually is rare, I don't even think any ties occured within the last 2 tournaments, even if there was, like Dave said there will obviously be a rematch.
3. It's 2015 and we're playing GunZ. I'm pretty damn sure at least everyone in this tournament is familiar with pedaling and if he/she is not, one could ask what it is.

Stop looking at the downsides of things. Yes, it's good to be prepared for the worst, but it's not really necessary.

3 days until round 3, seeing that nobody even attempts to contact their opponent, a lot of people will be disqualified..

Dq me cant workout timezones with lauren + dont think ill be able to make time i the future games, pls consider ppl who are doing their exams atm have sympathy m8 and host it in le summer vacationz

I agree with this. We kept on having to compromise work/school related things because of the timezone differences, in the future I also think you should include players who have the same timezones to play one another, as well as hosting ones that are longer than 7 days, simply because people work and have exams/school - resulting in people not being able to play.

If you are too busy because of school/exams/work, you shouldn't of signed up in the first place...
Also not everyone has exams at the same time as we all live in different countries where the system works differently, some may have it 1/2/3/4 weeks before or after you have your exams.

Then consider placing players in similar/close timezones to other players.
Also consider giving more than a week. Something like 2 weeks, where it will give players more time to setup a match.

Then maybe a strawpoll to check on if whether people want it now or for it to be hosted later because afaik between may and june people do have exams and dont really have a flexible schedule as some of us (hell, maybe most of us) do, i signed up for it thinking the timezones wouldnt be a problem and i would finish my games within 30 minutes or so, but seeing i was matched up with lauren it honestly didnt work out at all as we both have work and school/uni to deal with, i had to stay up till 1 am (which is 5 for her) to play a 30 minute game which i cant find time for xd

Since there was 1 remaining match, the person who was the most active on the forum/in-game of the remaining match has been set to the winner of the round.

I think Deviok is right about the pedalling, considering that most of the dudes in the tournament are players who either don't play gladiator often or are gunners who probably do not know what pedal is.

Good Luck Guys,

-Elemantion

Good Luck:D

I find it very funny how my partner 'Shimazu' actually got me disqualified when let alone I couldn't even talk to George about my issue with my laptop or bring it up.
Unfair also how my partner didn't even bother me to set up a proper time and yet he was the one who made it, cute.
