RCIII - Civilians ~ 3v3 ~ $1,200

Multiplyer is standart x2?

Multiplyer is standart x2?

The Cheat and Build multipliers will be left at the default 2.0,
unless specifically set in the options section of each game map.

Right now we have 2 set options for Every game:*
1- Full share
2- Auto generate markers always
*Any other options will be marked with a yellow 'dot' on the map.

Make sure all 4 mods are loaded for every game,
as the AI mods work integrally together with markers and such.

Sim speed ++ means normal speed of time and refers to a performance improvement?

@LargeMaleBennis yes

Yes, I believed it replaced the mod - "Quality of Performance."
It cuts down on the number of particles produced on certain effects to help keep PC's from slowing down as much.

It is common mod for multiplayer games.

I suppose you refer to cancer games. I know signups are closed but I am up to sub as well (probably subbing for a sub then).

There are multiple players who have asked to be put on the standby list since the draft period has ended.

So, I am opening the tournament to new players who would like a "chance" to play.
Players who wish to play will be put on a "Restricted" Standby list and still have an opportunity to play.
The way the Standby list and the Restricted Standby list will work is as follows:

ANY player on the pre draft - Standby list can fill in for anyone no matter the rating differential.
A player on the 'restricted' standby list can Only fill in for a player with a higher rating.

ie: A 1640 rated player drops out and needs replacement -
the team captain can choose an 1800 player from the standby list or
a player rated 1639 or lower from the restricted list.

So....... If you missed the initial draft and still would like a chance at play,
We now have additional players on the restricted list.
Sign up now for the restricted standby list.

If you allow people to register after signup is over, and not as a part of the draft, then you allow people to do things like:

• 2100 guy signs up late
• is now a sub
• guy picks a 1300 for their team
• 1300 strategically forfeits slot
• now this 2100 is on the team

Ah, didn't see your restriction about the higher rating thing. I still think it leaves the door open for abuse in the form of someone clearly overrated signing up only to forfeit and then getting your pick of a particularly good 1800/1900.

Sub could not be higher rated then the person who drops,,
so to get a 2100 , a 2105+ would have to drop
That Protects from such devious nous

Replays with this mod pack are decynced

The cause for the desynchs was discovered and fixed in the last patch.
-Fix: Changing the path calculation for c-engine to early was causing desyncs in replays.

The Draft is now over and the Teams have been selected.
Congratulations to all who were selected.

The 17 players who were not selected are now in the Stand By pool,
and
if any team is Not able to field 3 Players to play....
Before or during Day 1 or Day 2 of the tournament.

ANY player in the Stand By pool can be chosen as a substitute.

Players in Stand By:
Be prepared for an early call up, and
be ready on the Tournament Days, for any last minute No Shows.

Best o'Luck to All.

Here is how the Maps for the Finals will be chosen:
I wanted a surprise map for finals game 1,
and
I didn't want to make the HUGE decision for the last 2 maps that will decide the whole Tournament.
So, I want to leave that to the Players.

This is the idea that I have come up with that should be fair to both teams.

Finals
Match 22 > Game 1
Finals - Game 1 Map - Will be a surprise,
released "Shortly" before launch.
Training and Preparation got you here,
Playing by intuition will win this one!
.
Finals
Match 22 > Games 2 & 3
Games 2 and 3 maps will be chosen by the Captains as follows:
Each Captain will send list of 8 map numbers, from the map pool to veto.
The remaining maps will be vetoed 1 at a time until 3 maps are left,
and then high seed Captain will pick "Odds or Evens"
The winner of the "Odds or Evens" roll, will then choose the map
to play for Game 2.
Odds or Evens will be decided on Aeolus by using the command - !roll -.
If a game 3 is needed, the other Captain,
will choose one of the remaining 2 maps to play.
(the 3rd remaining map will be used if a Tie Break is needed.)
