Official Gang Spar Tournament (GST) PICKED GANGS

[John]

Why would each round take 20 minutes? They wouldn't even last 10 max, the only thing that wasted time last year was setting up each match. All you need to do is get 3-4 staff to help you run the GST the day it starts, just make sure they will be on and actually know what they are doing. This saves you the hassle of doing everything yourself which will make setting up each round take awhile.

If you start it Saturday then make it a bit earlier or whatever time so the "Arab" players can play longer. You can set it whatever time and the rest of us will do it, almost everyone would rather spend 1 day playing for the GST rather than 3.

Lastly last years map was much better, look at how much cover the new one has, it is just overkill when it comes to barricades and walls. You think more cover = less spam, but it is actually the opposite. More cover = more spam because people will just sit and spam knowing that they are protected by different walls.

There will be no setting up this year, the players are selected upon the GUI given to the owners of the gangs.

The only lost time would be at the beginning where we will remind the players with the rules, telling them to select the players if they haven't etc.
But this is an average of 20 minutes.

Other than that, what do you think is a good prize for the winners this year? Help me up with some ideas!

Also guys, this is actually a good idea. John excellent idea.

This is called a spar tournament, and like all tournament, to make it interesting, it would be better for 2 days, even better, 3 days.

Cause if you try to rush all into 1 day, its really not that interesting. This is an event that only happens 1 year. Every gang will get to rotate members. Depending if they are there or not for the tourney. So this is an opportunity for all members of a gang to participate.

Good thinking john, 3 days should make the GST a BIG event, The last week of GST should be the moment everyone is hoping for.

John, all matches will be around 5 minutes. Last year, all matches were completed in about an hour and a half. This year won't be any different; it'll be much better to get over the tournament just in one day (Saturday). If the matches end up being much longer than how they seemed to be, then I'll understand why you want to split it up.

I also agree with Duke on the part where people can hide behind the obstacles instead of actually having to dodge. People can also hide behind the obstacles and shoot through the walls while they're hiding behind them. So I'd recommend you to make guns including snipers NOT be able to shoot through walls. Also, the obstacles shouldn't be long enough for players to hide behind them. I'd say, make the obstacles small (but thick enough for guns including snipers not to shoot through them) or just simply remove some of the obstacles.

But this is an average of 20 minutes.

So 20 x 8 is 160. That is only 2 hours. After all the first rounds you shouldn't need to state rules again because everyone heard it once and the member picking will be faster because the leaders already chose the first time. So each round of every match after the firsts would probally be 10-15 minutes. The next 4 rounds would be 40-60 minutes so this adds the total to around 3 hours. Then there is the semis which would take another 10-15 each. Now we are sitting at 3 hours and 20-30 mins. Lastly the finals would be around 20 minutes because of the announcements. So the GST could be all done in 4 hours or less. Last year even though it was split into multiple weekends the 2nd weekend was pretty much 4 hours.

4 hours is alot easier to commit to for one day then having to be on 3 different days.

Also for the prize what about a gun skin and hat? All i can think of would be gralats, hats, gun skins, gun, building, medal, etc.

Not everyone will be able to get on all three saturdays, it'd better for just one day

And especially since that arena is much more opened up, the matches should be even much more shorter than 5 minutes.

And not to be rude or anything, but I doubt the "Arabs" will get far in the GST.

Most people are going to miss round 2, 3 and 4 (which are the most important) because they moved their schedules around to make this Saturday available and the rest of them are unavailable... Please try and make it all on one day because realistically the first matches will not take long at all and gst matches never take 20 minutes and if they somehow did there would be VERY few.

Winning gang could choose any existing guns stats and design a new name, skin, gani etc for every member to recieve. Trophies and medals like last year.
