dashnerIt's set teams I am 100% certain, but there is talk of a draft tournament on Friday night for fun.

I've always run a Friday night draft tournament at GXL and everyone seems to really enjoy them. I don't think nick is gonna have the time tho with how big this LAN is going to be.

freakinwilling to donate manpower to help organize draft tournament for friday

A few things to take into consideration if you want to do a draft:

- you will need rcon access to the servers, so get in touch with staff about that ASAP.

- in previous years we would only get like 4 teams for the draft, but considering how big this LAN will be you will likely get a lot more. I would consider a cap on how many teams you allow.

- If you remember what I did with the index cards, that is very important. On my notecards I had the rules printed, along with spaces for players names/handles and the classes they are willing to play. I would see how many players to determine how many teams we would have, them select the medic mains from the cards. I would call up the medics and assign them as captains. I would have all the player cards laid out on a table and shuffle the medic cards and draw them at random to determine the initial picking order. I used an NHL style draft system for picking (1,2,3,4,5,5,4,3,2,1 etc). The cards are also important because you will have a mix of high level players down to casual players who only play pyro or something. Every team would end up with a couple good players and 1-2 casuals which made it fun and unpredictable. Do the cards.

Edit:

Also:

- $5 max buyin per player (only allow them to hand in their draft card with their fee, otherwise you will lose track of who paid)

- buy a little safe and lock it down to the table and keep the prize money safe.

- single elim only (needs to be a fairly short tournament) winner take all.

1. Last year's GXL had people arriving between later Thursday night to early Saturday morning. This one will be far bigger - so arriving on Thursday or early Friday will actually make a lot of sense.

2. GXL does allow you use the facility to sleep (it's a BIG convention hall). Hotel details will be updated at a later time (I think fragile's on it)

3. Nothing special here, just have a buddy take you to the facility from the airport.

4. Use a fellow gamer and buy him a drink.

5. If you arrive Thursday, you'll get to chill with the "early bird" people that paid $15 to setup a day early.

Nailed it.

But yeah, please don't show up on Saturday morning unless you're certain you can get there before the tournament starts. I am going to be very strict about not letting the tournament start late due to people being late/delayed.
