Tournament

With all this talk of Elitism and some people not wanting to enter it because they arent "fast enough" and not welcome, how about Burnoutaholics host a tournament. Maybe under that tag and hosting, people will join in and now worry so much about not being invited to tournaments...

 Are you trying to say that we have an all BURNOUTAHOLICS TOURNEY?......If you are then i think that it is an absolutely fantastic idea.....and im in for sure......im sure that we could fill 3 rooms easily.....but what kind of tournament would it be because obviously there arent alot of people on here who have played in a while so id like to hear what your thoughts are and where there going on this.....but im sure i could help you out {if you wanted it that is}....i think its a great idea ......

Just for the fun of it, but since i will not be back for atleast a month may be more, your're going to have to wait, lol.

Need to get 'numpty in it too and MonkeyCMonkeyDo, but we old timers would need a weeks run up to get the muscle memory back, lol.

Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when it's going to run out?

 omg i havent raced MonkeyCMonkeyDo for like ages....i reckon this is a really cool idea and i agree that people may need at least a month to get back into the game....it would be great to race old friends again.....and to see if they still possess the skills that Burnout Revenge injected into them............

2 weeks of Races:

1st week: F, or S, or Su

Burnout Revenge Races... points acrue to be used in 2nd week Tourney

 

2nd week: F, S, or Su

Burnout Pardise Races.. points earned are added to previous point in revenge Tourney.

This way, we all get to play an All-Encompassing Burnout Tourney, not restricted to one game but applies to both games so that people who are good in one game may not be good in another, vice versa.. Should make for some interesting matches and challenges..

Of course the set up for the Revenge should be as like previous Revenge tournaments and I have not touched my Paradise game so I wouldnt know how to set that one up, someone else may need to take that up.

Of course all player entering should have both games?? It would only make sense to either have it or rent it if one needs to enter. And this could be done in a day's time frame rather than two, but the set up must be changed to determine that.. Of course two days would always be better as it would probably make for a less hectic schedule..

 well i was all up for it until you said that we needed to do Paradise too.....i dont have the game anymore and i certainly dont intend on renting it.....but hey i think im the only person on here that doesnt actually own both games so i guess that automatically counts me out.....well you guys have fun and ill just read what happens and enjoy the sarcasm that will succumb out of it............nice idea nito....

I would not race in Paradise on any level, unless they fixed it, like not!

Maybe Burnout 3?

Its just a suggestion because how can you have a Burnoutaholics Tournament without including Paradise in it? Anyways, it was just an idea that could have work but there were too many variables to account for. Of course Burnoutaholics could set up a tournament for Revenge and Paradise seperately, that would be cool too.. and having the Burnoutaholics sponsor it would only increase its members, popularity, and definitely would probably ease up on people not entering because of the certain unwritten "fast racers" only rule..

We are more then up for having a BurnoutAholics Tourney, and we set up a Tournament Admin role for anybody who wants to run a tournament on the site. This includes leaderboards/tables etc that the Tournament Admin can edit.

Unfortunately tho, we do not have the time to run these ourselves.

We would be happy to host and can do so on Burnout 3, Revenge and Paradise as long as the time is right for us.

So, if anybody wants to step up and be the BurnoutAholics Tournament Admin, please let us know!

Administration? Administrator? Is that what this thing means? Cause I officially vote for Eezo to host one up.. None of his tournies have been considered as an elitism kind of tourny so far..

 I couldnt agree more i think Eezo would be the ideal candidate.....his tournaments are great they were FUN too....and ANYBODY who thought that they were good enough to join could join.....Eezo has my official  too... but would he do it thats the question.....

Stick me down. Not very good but I am one of those people who has managed to convince himself it's not the winning it's the taking part!

Can't do Revenge because...I haven't played it and I don't own it...

Why do I feel embarrassed by that???

again just thinking about setting up tournaments.  Seriously seriously lost sleep trying to think about every way it could go wrong lol, and no matter how much you plan for it, you always overlook something.  Theres no way I could commit myself to it right now with school and work taking up alot of my free time.  I couldn't honestly give it my best shot and I wouldn't want to half ass anything.  When things cool down around Nov - Dec I'd be willing to run with it.  It'd be cool if whoever wins the tourneys could get a small icon or tag on their name here for site champion or something, or a small sticky to show current champ.  I think the people who that would be enough incentive for are the people I'd like to host for.  Nothing official from me right now, just happy you two thought of me :-)  That does mean tho that you've been tapped as volunteers lol

I think having a sticky or similar on the front page showing who is the current champion is a brilliant idea! Tagging the profile of the champion(s) would also be possible.

I like your ideas Cog.  The comments I assume you may have gotten about 'unspoken fast racers only rule' and 'eletism' kinda irk me.  I think you did a great job with your tourneys and calling it Elitist overshadows alot of the work and planning you put into it.  I think from the very beginning you stated what you wanted as an outcome for your tourneys and I think you accomplished that.  You wanted a fast tourney of the fastest Revenge racers.  Not everyone is gonna fit into that category.  You came up with alot of new ideas that streamlined the whole process.  If anyone ever wants to run a tourney, they would benefit greatly by reading through your format.

That might just cause probs and harrassment from people who want to challenge these Champions...

We would of course not name any names if the "champion" wanted to remain annonomus

Yeah, most people dont realize that it takes a lot of planning for everything to work out. Most of the time a lot of things dont ever work cause there's just too many variables that you could not control. Just take a look at what happened during the last tourney. I had to cancel that because so many people couldnt make it.

You are right about one thing and you as well as I know that it the work that one puts into it will show how much youve done to get it right. People will always complain about stuff regardless of what you do, and sometimes it just gets to me. Sometimes, but not everytime.

The process is for everyone to use. Ive always said that because the point was to have as much tournaments without me just hosting it. I do have other things to attend to on a day to day basis. I wanted to have other players host it as well and to add their touches to it, because you never know a really good format could come out of it.

I really have no idea where this whole elitist stuff came from ini my tournaments. Its true that I did invite fast racers, because I wanted a really fast room. No doubt about that, but I have opened up spots for other racers for the last two tournaments. The first one was special invite only, but the other two wasnt. Zombs entered which was a good thing. So im hoping, really hoping that others will follow in her steps soon. That way we could have a good tourney next time.

I do think my tourneys are in haitus right now. I havent found time to do things lately and if I were to host one up, I would definitely need a co-planner with me so that we could get the word out more when Im not around in XBL. That would definitely help me out as that would create a second host as well. Maybe well have one soon. Im still disheartened that the last one was cancelled and that may just be a sign for me telling me that Revenge is out?? Who knows because there are still people playing the game. They are however the hard core Burnout Revengers now...

Well that would be interesting. Exactly what are these champions of? Racers? Crashers? Road Ragers? or the 110% Completion Addicts? or are they the Tournament Players?

If that was the last one? Then you are bound to see the same 15 names appear on that list over and over again. If you meant racing only.. in Revenge.. and probably the same different set of racers in Paradise..
