Some updates regarding the event!

 

Deathmatch Madness Championship:

Every last Sunday of the month, a special Championship is played among all players who wish to participate. This event follows the standard FFA rules, but with some modifications to accommodate the best players and raise the skill curve a bit. Players must sign days before so they can receive a password and join the Championships, this way ensuring participation and a kind of exclusivity to interested competitive players. For this, they must contact one of the event hosts, like me.

 

Championship Rules:

- 6  8 players limit

- 50 frags per map.

- 8 minutes per map.

- Championship lasts 6 or more maps. Depends on the set rules.

- Deathmatch mods may or may not be included.

- Player with the highest frags by the end of the session wins the Championship.

 

League System:

Taking note from real ranking systems, the League system is a simplified, optional leaderboard that scores points based on a formula of kills plus wins. Because of a lack of an automated system, the League system is done by hand and is mostly optional to whoever wishes to participate on it, since close participation is required for better optimization.

 

The system is based on seasonal leagues that last for about 3 months, with some days of rest in between.

 

To calculate points, the system takes into account:

- Player kills.

- Matches won.

- Championships won.

 

Each player kill scores 1 point, while won matches score 100 points and Championships score 500 points.

 

Example:

Quote

Player1 League Stats:

245 Total Kills | 9 Wins | 1 Championship.

Total Score: 1,645 (245 + 900 + 500)

 

This way, the system keeps track of a player score while still retaining a simple yet easy to understand formula. Of course, this is not perfect, but it’s a fun way to have a cemented league for the events.

 

While this may look very ''strict'' on a quick glance, is actually a simple, layback system to add some more fun to the events while at the same time encouraging healthy competition among players.

 

This is very Beta for now, so anyone that wants to lend a hand or some help, please contact me!

Hey Endless, just a quick suggestion that the server maybe shouldn’t have a password - I only say this because I find the best way to get a big DM going is to let anyone join, sometimes you end up with 15+ people going at it that way! If the worry is that stats will become too hard to track, we could always have it so that players who want their stats tracked could wear a tag on their name, perhaps [WZ] or something like that to signify their participation. Just an idea!

Noted. It is part of the plan to make the WDM sessions public, is just that I thought about making the very first session a bit private since it is also a ''testing the waters'' session to try out all the new features and see what works. Next ones are going to be public for sure!

 

Also [WZ] is a glorious tag :P
