Good night everyone,

As you all have seen, the latest Duellist Cup is almost over (we are still waiting for the giant final showdown between Vegito and FireSworD however) and it turned to be quite successful (well, of course it had a usual amount of forfeit losses and victories, but not enough to determine the tournament as unrepresentative, I think)
Now this introducing cup is over, it's time to start with the real thing: the Jazz Jackrabbit World Championships Clan Cup ! After two successful seasons with R3ptile as host, he passed the stick to me, so this time it's my turn to let the major clans clash
Anyway, a clan cup would be nothing without a nice amount of clans participating, so this thread will be used for clanleaders to subscribe their clans for JJ2WC.

This year's tournament will start at January 15th, 2006. It used to be January 8th first but I postponed it one week, since the Duellist Cup took so long that I forgot to start the subscriptions on the day I promised. The time it'll take depends on the number of participating clans.

These are the main rules for subscribing:
- A clan can only be submitted by it's leader, or someone who is allowed by the leader to subscribe the clan (the leader needs to confirm this in an e-mail, PM, MSN conversation or post in this thread)
- People can only submit one clan.
- Players who are already submitted as member in one clan can't be submitted in another. In this case goes: the clan who submitted first, is the clan which the player will play for (unless the player states in this thread that he isn’t involved in that clan, or in any other way mentioned in point 1)
- Clans all agree with the rules as noted on the JJ2WC website. I did not complete these rules yet, but I’m working on it.
- Clans need to specify in which tournament they participate: Capture The Flag, TeamBattle, or both.

I’ll give you an example of how the clan should fill in their subscription.

Clan Name and Tag: 8th Dimension (8-D)
Website: http://8d.ncmv.net/
Leadership: ChippieBW, Yasco, Ragnarok
Warteam Members:
- ChippieBW, The Netherlands, chippiebw[at]ncmv.net
- Yasco, Belgium, rsyasco[at]xsdclan.tk
- Ragnarok, United Kingdom, sabatazayoni[at]hotmail.com
- Vivando, Finland, double3[at]luukku.com
- SquirreL, Belgium, fireball_xsd[at]hotmail.com
- DarkSonic, The Netherlands, darksonic1990[at]hotmail.com
- Elliot, USA, waternav[at]hotmail.com
- Black Ninja, USA, blackninja[at]fooproducts.com
- Sonyk, USA, sonyk[at]fooproducts.com
Tournaments: CTF, TeamBattle.

In short, the information we need to know about each clan is: Name and Tag, Website (if any), Leadership (enter the co-leaders and leader here, nationality and emails are not required here), Warteam Members (for each member, fill in name, nationality and e-mailaddress – MSN address would be the most convenient), Tournaments the clan participates in.
There are no limits for the quantity of the warteam members, but subscribers cannot say “the whole clan”. Each player needs to be specified as the rules above show, or they won’t be counted. There is a minimum amount of warteam members required though: a warteam needs to consist out of at least 3 members, more are recommended. Members recruited after the subscription is closed cannot play in JJ2WC3. Leaders can edit their subscription before the deadline is closed, though.

The subscriptions will stay open for 4 days or 96 hours, they close at [b]Friday December 30th, at 8PM GMT[b]. Before that time, 6 clans have to be subscribed for a tournament to make it possible. If CTF has 7 clans and TB only has 4, only the CTF tournament will be organized. This seems cruel, but else it’s just not worth the huge effort of organizing.

That’s all for now, speak you later.

tb > ctf k

*wishes Chip would cancel the CTF tourney and start the TB tourney earlier instead*

ctf > tb k
We are a bit too many in CC to sign up as one clan in my opinion....

However, it isn't still too late to start a 3vs3 cup instead is it?
The teams could get a temporary tag and a name even each with 5 members(and some members may take turns in being in front-line and as a backup.) Just something like Dynamic Trio(or Pentad, whatever), or Dream Team both as DT and DTE? :P

Heh and CC's got around 40 members for jj2 anyways from which actually only a small piece is regurarly active, or let's say, almost half, whom have played at least in this month for a few times. I mean visited public servers and such.

They have many men (ok women too), but few soldiers...

What about FoF? Or perhaps the Dark Gurus?

I know what FoF is, but dark gurus?
u've got to be kidding me

Since we'll never know what might happen (some "warteam" players might stop playing, while some normal members might turn out to be very skilled), I'll just sign up the JJ2 division as our warteam.

WHAT THE CRAP?

THAT week is EXACTLY the week that I have about THIRTEEN (13) tests at school! (we call that a 'proefwerkweek') I dont know how Im going to do both RR and my school, but this really isnt very useful for me. Hopefully, I can play in it, but now I gotta find at least 3 members who want to be in our warteam (I think that isnt a problem, but still I have a HUGE problem with my school now) and I hope I will see you then

*cries*
(...)

ehem we will easily beat The LEgen]ds >8[

...as if one ban wasn't enough.

I will come up with a (small) list of people this friday...

also, Vegito said the matches are only in weekends, that means the chanses for me are much bigger, only the 15th will (well, could) be a problem... also, what was the WC website again? I havent put it on the favourites of my new PC yet.

It's www.jj2wc.ncmv.net

We are at about 40% of the time, so far 2 clans have signed up for TB and CTF:
- 8th Dimension
- Cracco Clan

Hurry up people!

I will post my list on friday

Can the tournament be played with 3 clans? ;P

if there isn't enough clans, we should do 3v3 tournament instead :P loads of ppl would enter then

Would it be fun? ^^

I just prefer a 3v3 CTF tournament, and a 3v3 TB tournament. double fun ;P

I just prefer a 3on3 TB tournament only...

From my point of view, most of the people are already bored of CTF, and that's why there aren't enough sign-up's too. Just think about it, A TB tourney would be a fresh change to the whole competitive JJ2 scene and could make the tourney a lot more attractive, especially if that stats recorder (which is already done, hopefully) will be used.

Uhm interesting phrase, from my point of view, and most of people in one sentence.
I think it is just your point of view rep, I dont like using the phrase most people, but in this case i think it is safe to say most people still prefer ctf to tb.
There are of course a lot of people such as yoursef who are either bored of ctf, or love tb dearly so I suppose 2 tournaments would be great, but harder to organise of course...

Most people prefer CTF? Why aren't there more than two sign-up's then?

[si] already said they'd sign up only for the TB tournament, and I will either create a team or force VS to join the TB tournament too. That makes the amount of participating clans 2 times bigger, Urbs.

If this tournament won't work out I'd like to participate in some 2v2 or 3v3 tournament , indeed. CTF or TB , I don't mind actually =O...Can't we just edit the existing levels to TB(because many people don't know too much TB levels ;P)

There are enough TB levels at the moment..

I suggest putting Dethroned in the TB mappool, btw.

And put 6 good maps instead of lots of decent ones.

I don't find TB any more special than CTF. It is so far the same just without bases. It might be indeed underhosted or not-too-much-played mode but still, there isn't, so far, much difference to CTF...And so is also a rather boring one because: If there was a built-in TeamBattle in jj2 or however it's called...with the possibility to have players for 4 teams to play at the same time, it could add interest slightly for me at least...though that would have to change the gameplay in the tourney or be not used of course.

CTF is played too much. IMO, teambattle is just better, so I say, lets do teambattle... there should be a poll about what must be done: TB, CTF, both or none! Then I should vote tb.

EDIT: can I change my list after friday?

No. This will NOT be changed. You get BOTH tournaments if ENOUGH clans sign-up. In the 3v3 tournament (if the clancup won't work) you'll get BOTH tournaments if enough teams sign-up. :P

You should have suggested that when the mappool was announced.

emperor says he cant be at ALL matches, but at quite a lot he can come. May i add him to my list then?

Now [si] and VS have to sign up and we got 6 teams for the TB cup. Hurray!

And since TB is a total new game type which was never played before and requires lots of practice this is my suggestion for the map list (instead of few good ones and lots of crappy ones):

- (EvilMike's Untitled Desert Level)
- Abandoned Robotrics Factory
- Battle Game XC
- Decrepit Ruins
- Dethroned
- EvilMike's Evil Fortress
- First Strike
- Shock Station

Haha, none? Then what kind of team game are we supposed to play in JJ2WC III? Assault?

But it was annouced months before FS even started his remake contest.

Lol R3p.

One word:

YES!

assault is boring

Team Ground Force!

Treasure hunt?!

(Claim) Page.

Uhm, how an improved teambattle where your team gets 1 point for roasting an opponent player, and (for example) 10 points for each flag-scoring?

Hay guys.
I decided to sign up VS to both tourneys. I'm just letting play these VS'ers who wants to. Don't expect much from us. Our old, skilled members from war teams from the previous JJ2WC's editions probably won't play, so...y'know..it will be more like VS-B or sth ;p However, I hope that VS will complete some war team and play some good games ;P So, gl & hf.

Personally, I might play only in CTF Cup
Also, as I see, it isn't likely this clan cup will work...so whatever.
