Note: I've merged every thread that was in the "1st Annual [UK] AdrenalineX Racer's Tournament" forum (group subforums not included) into this big thread. A lot of it probably won't make sense but it's good to have it for archive purposes)

Hey guys,

Was thinking hard last night and this idea popped into my head.
I've talked to a few sampers and they all think its a great idea

Basically, it is a tournament for racer's to compete in. It will involve 64 racer's, in a Football World Cup style layout,
starting with a group stage and progressing to a knockout round to determine the winner 

I have all the details written down and if everyone is interested (hopefully everyone is) I will post the details and then continue
to determine the racers competing, dates, times and the rest of the details.

Hope everyone can get involed and by the title name, it can be a yearly thing 

EDIT: Turns out the servers birthday is in March. We can celebrate it with this tourney

I think that's nice idea , just hope that 64 racers will be enough

Can do it with 128 if theres that much interest

I'm at school at the moment, so I'll post everything when i get home.

Good to see everyone is liking it

One thing i remember is that UK's birthday is on the 27th of March, so it could start then, or if people aren't available then, we can sort out another date.

Ok these are the details as i have written down:

Selection
The top 16 drivers according to the sites highscores will be given a seeding (1-16).
Each of these 16 drivers will go into a seperate group (A to P). Each group will contain 4 racers.
Since there must be 64 racers, the other 48 will be chosen by whoever wants to get involved,
most likely, whoever posts first.

When everyone has been confirmed for the tournament i will post the groups on the forum
or make a youtube video if you guys want to make sure I'm not cheating 

Races
The races will be of 2 to 4 minutes in length. We must pick 100 or more of these races, to make sure they are not overplayed.
Since a lot of races aren't up to par, we could make new ones for this tournament.

I suggest we only use a small range or cars from the Street or Sports car categories and maybe the NRG.

The matches will be a best of 5 situation in a direct head to head. Races will therefore be won at
3-0, 4-1, 5-2, 5-3 and 5-4.

Races chosen for the tournament will be chosen at random for each match.

If you timeout, it is your bad luck...It's a measure to stop cheating.
That's also why it's best of 5

Groups
The groups will range from A to P, with 4 people in each like i explained before.
Each racer will play every other racer in their group once.
3 points will be awarded the winner of a match and 0 to the loser.
If however the loser gets the match to 5-3 or 5-4, they will get 1 point.
As well as the final result, the score of each race will be recorded so that
in the case of 2 racers finishing on level points, a race difference (like goal difference
in football) will be determined (races won minus races lost).
The top 2 drivers from each group will advance to the knockout stage.

example:


Knockout
After the group stage, the 2 drivers from each group will be randomly
picked to verse another racer (not drivers from the same group will be matched up against
eachother). The same rules apply as in the group stages,
best of 5 races.
The table will look something like this.


Complaints
If a driver or spectator beleives there was unsportmanlike behaviour during a race
(ramming, cheating etc.), a post can be made in the relative matchup's forum. Singificant
proof/evidence must be shown. Should a player have lost unfairly, there will be a best of 3
race rematch (scores from both matches will count in the group stages). Conduct deemed
bad enough will result in a disqualification. Incidents deemed normal racing incidents will
not be considered.

Other
I suggested to mooman that he make a section of the forum for the tournament, with a
section in that for each group. Posts for each matchup will be made to discuss times for
that match-up and anything else relevant to it.


If you have any suggestions, please post them

Made a small change to the points system in the group stage.
