The time of the last slates of games will be determined by the community.
If your full team cannot make a match, this is what will happen:

1. Teams will play without players who cannot make the match (Try to schedule between captains as to avoid this)
2. If an agreement can be reached, gentleman's rules are acceptable (if one team is down a man, the other team offers to bench a player, creating even teams)
3. If no one from your team shows up for the scheduled match, your team forfeits by default
4. If neither team can agree on a time for the match, or no one shows up for the scheduled match, then the outcome will be decided by a coin flip

As for lag issues: If a consensus can be reached that a game was unplayable/heavily affected for players, then the game will be replayed. If a player unexpectedly drops out of the game, the game can be restarted, if the other team agrees. If not, then the player who had dropped out can just drop back in, with nothing restarted.

Tips
1. Communication is key! PM/chat with your teammates and captains.
2. Try to schedule early.
3. PM monsterfracas if you have any questions.

If you'd like to upload your match footage, PM me a link, and I'll update this post.

Major props to monsterfracas for putting this all together. I tried helping out with scheduling, but failed miserably. Now it's pretty much all him. Thanks dude!

Putting this into Gaming side probably wasn't the best idea... it is a 'community' event after all.

but I guess Team Daedalius and Team CarryFu are playing tonight; what time?

Zerofire suggested 7 PM pacific. That would be at 4 AM for me. I can be around at that time but I'd prefer it if it was an hour earlier.

When you guys get decided on a time, I'll add it into the OP. If you guys don't mind me lurking your fileshares, I'd like to put a link to each match in the OP.

I can do it after 5:30CST... fuck 7 PST? That's like 10pm my time. Also, 4 am for you, wtf!

Also how'd we end up playing Slayer on Powerhouse? Pit/symmetric would be better for slayer.

I think for the next tourney, we might want to keep US separate from Euro, considering the time difference.

I'm saying you should use it to coordinate everyone's schedules instead of posting here a million times, which seemed to be what you were asking people to do. Or at least do it via PM?

I've got work until 5, and then I drive home and eat dinner, so 7 is probably about the earliest I can do it. If I'm able to get on earlier than that I'll let you know

I'm not saying you aren't, but it probably could have been scheduled better so you didn't have to do that.

I'm not sure if that will be enough notice for Sanjuro, I know Demon is online now but Sanjuro may be busy.

If we're busy tonight, I'd like to see if I could get something done before 2pm EST tomorrow, which should be a lot easier for the European players.

Booties if you're reading this please let me know if you can play tomorrow morning or around noon time.

edit. I will PM Sanjuro now and ask him if he's available tonight.

A GAF wide tournament should be set up at some time.

A few weeks into halo 4 would be ideal for the most players i think.

We thought about it, but I believe there's about 70 players as it is. Any more and it would be really difficult to organize.

That being said, I'm all for another tournament near the launch of Halo 4. provided fracas does all the work

A GAF-wide tournament would have to be separated into a European ladder and a US ladder for the sake of time zones/people's work schedules.

That would get rid of a lot of the headaches.

Depending on how this one ends up, I'd be down with organizing another one. I wouldn't be able to help as much, though. Only reason I'm doing so much with this one is because I'm on summer break.

Although last time I tried to do a GAF wide gaming event, it didn't go too well.
