Hey, everyone! Some of you may know that it's been some time since the last competitive Classes event happened. I want to change that!
This event, as suggested by the title is a bit more old fashioned than some of the more recent tournaments. We've had a lot of interesting changes to the ever familiar game type, such as draft picks, or changes to the pace of the game itself. Though all of these are fun and exciting in their own right, I think it'd be time to go back to our roots for old times sake. With this I hope not only to bring back some good memories of way back when, but to also open up with a more lenient system to invite a broader audience.
The tournament will be done in a typical 'Double Elimination' bracket. You got your winner's bracket, and your loser's bracket. (http://challonge.com/tournaments/bracket_generator?ref=iehXAZqZQu) There will be deadlines set for each stage of the tournament, those who neglect their match until said deadline will be disqualified. If you wish to back out of the tournament prematurely for any reason at all, please contact me immediately and I will allow your opponent to advance.
There are no longer any prizes due to the time taken for this tournament. I hope you all enjoy yourselves for the matches coming, however!
RULES AND GUIDELINES:
The rules for the tournament matches are as follows:
1. Duels must be running MM8BDM-V3B.pk3.
2. Duels must be using the required files, mentioned later in this post.
3. Duel mode must be played.
4. 5 Frags, no time limit.
5. All vanilla maps allowed, no custom maps.
6. All servers must be hosted on Best Ever [BE]. To learn more about hosting, look here. (http://www.best-ever.org/) Because of Best Ever's server migration, this rule is no longer in effect. Instead, I will require a third party be the host of the server, as well as have their name or server name declared with the match's results.
7. Scores must be confirmed by both parties. Screenshots are not required, but highly recommended.
8. The duel must be mutually agreed on beforehand in order for the scores to count.
9. You can freely choose from 4 classes determined on sign-up, and those alone.
10. First map is a mutual pick, loser picks next, and then the last one is also a mutual pick.
11. Best two of three duels.
The following classes are banned:
Galaxy Man, Proto Man, Bass, Rock Man.
The servers must abide by these requirements:
No chasecam
No crouching
No forced respawn
No autoaim
No suicide
Votes enabled
Spawnfarthest enabled
Nightmare skill
The following wads must be loaded:
The most recent version of classes (currently classes-v7bh.pk3)

*ahem*
Alright, sooooo, Turbodude has given me permission to help him out! In exchange, I'll be dropping out. So whoever wins the match between Bikdark and Magnet Dood gets to skip me and go straight ahead to EazyDI.
If I can, I'll be bugging some people to get their matches done. Remember to have v3b with you!
So I beat Dood
Screenies because I actually remembered:

Just wondering if Korby tried to contact Scarlet Devil on Friday because he/she said they will be available to play all day last Friday. Was Scarlet Devil not able to be found or did they just not contact each other?

Last Friday was the 20th. Scarlet Devil was not on during that time, and I also spoke with King Dumb (who is hosting the duel servers) and he says the most recent time he had Scarlet Devil online on one of the servers was early morning of the 19th.
While I spoke with Korby and he admits that he hasn't made much of an attempt to contact Scarlet Devil, Korby has posted that he was ready whenever Scarlet Devil was and was much more active, while Scarlet Devil only appeared once to update their situation and Korby never received a message from them.
However, again, Scarlet Devil has not been disqualified from the loser rounds, and was given a second chance.
Also, after speaking with King Dumb, I'd really appreciate if more than just a post was done as far as communication goes (unless it seems inevitable otherwise). I'd also really appreciate it if any of the contestants could tell me when such communication is going on as I want to be informed of what goes on that could delay a match being done.
