VOOT Team Challenge 2!
WELCOME! WELCOME!To Oratan's Second Team Challenge. I am your host (XboxliveGT: SolarSonic)
Now with that to the side lets...
with the Details & rules...
>As some of you may know, You get points based on how well you do in USITS (US-International Tournament Series. For competing in a given tournament, you are awarded points equaling 1+ the number of matches you won in the tournament. Your USITS Ranking is a running total of these points.
So, these rankings will partly be used to enforce how much skill can be on one team. Here's how it works: depending on the sizes of the teams in the tournament, a team will have a "point cap" that the total points of all people on the team added up cannot exceed.
>Players who have not played in a USITS tournament have 0 points and are essentially free to add (this should encourage people to bring in newcomers). But a problem arises if someone doesn't compete in USITS tournaments and wants to play in team tournaments because he or she will not have accumulated points to count against his or her team's point cap. To remedy this, There is another player value called Team Worth (TW).
TW is calculated like USITS Ranking, except that for USITS tournaments the player does NOT compete in (after their first tournament), he is awarded points for that tournament equal to the number of points he received in the previous tournament he played in. Here's an example:
>Say Player (A) competes in USIT1 and earns 3 points. Player (A) does not compete in USIT2 and USIT3, but competes in USIT4 and earns 2 points. Player (A)'s Team Worth is now 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 11, and a team that adds him to their roster loses 11 points from their point cap. Simple, eh?
Team Worth ONLY matters in the context of point caps.
>Because this is a lot of information to keep track of, There Is some additions to the awesome VOOT wiki. Incoming links:
http://voot.wikia.com/wiki/USITS - US-International Tournament Series (our monthly tournaments)
http://voot.wikia.com/wiki/USITS_Rankings - The rankings
http://voot.wikia.com/wiki/Schooly_D - Schooly D's player page. Use this as a template to make your own! (this will make keeping track of points and TW much easier) Now on to rules
>Team Tournaments are randomly seeded in a single-elimination bracket. When two teams face, one person from one team plays one person from the other team. The team that wins the most individual match-ups wins the match and advances. Tie-breakers may be needed for even-numbered teams. The team with the lower Team Worth gets to choose who fights whom in a given match
>This particular tournament will have> 3 pilots a team with a team leader and a team color. The first match-up between teams must be started by the team leaders. In other words, Leaders fight eachother first and followed by the rest of the team.
>Game settings are 80 secs, 2 rounds/best 2 out of 3. 6 observers Including Sandsfel and myself. Matches will be held one at a time with a few seconds break inbetween. Matches will be held in a party that i start or join and confirm from my own mouth that it is the official party. Any matches held outside this party are invalid, but you are welcomed to practice when not apart of the official party.

TIME: 8PM Eastern (provisional)

> Team Color is the color you and your team all agree on to make a custom VR with mainly That color. Only main colors of the rainbow should be desribed. No violets, just say purple.

They all make custom VR's with mainly Light Blue parts and sport their team spirit against "Team Whoevertheyare" who all have Dark Blue as their team color. Make sense?

I know that EpyonsEclipse, CYBERTR00PER, and Saffire Wing are down. You should ask them to formally register.

Re: VOOT Team Challenge 2!
DeltasrtikeX update us on what your official team is.
Yes Schooly you are right. I will fix it.
So far the 1st round includes:
-Team IBO VS. -TeamActionTeam
-Schooly D (Lead) VS. -DeltastikeX (Lead)?
the team with the lower Team Worth (TW) will determine Who will fight 2nd and 3rd match.
So far the 2nd round will be determined by today 7:30pm. If another team does not sign up by then, The 2nd round will be:
-Team PhantomStarMoose VS. -Team FACEPUNCH!
-MentholMo0se (Lead) VS. -SolarSonic (Lead)
In this case, My team (which has the lower TW will determine who fights in 2nd and 3rd match.
So if there is 1 other team out there, You will either be slipped into The 2nd round or be in a 3rd round against one of the winning Teams.
If there is more than 1 team that registers, then All this could change

Re: VOOT Team Challenge 2!
(1) How can Delta and I BOTH decide who fights the second and third games? I thought the team with the lower TW gets to choose who fights whom.
(2) Delta's team goes over the point cap. I've notified him, so he should be changing it.
