The comps have been finalised for the LAN next weekend. These were based on the comments left in the May Comp forum thread.

1. "Balls of Death" Comp
Unreal Tournament 2004 DEATHBALL mod. This will be a 5-a-side, Double Elimination comp. We will be having 15 minute matches, with a Golden Goal situation in the event of a tied game.

2. MPU Open - Singles Tournament.
Unreal Tournament Open (Tennis) mod. Single Elimination based on a random draw. Preliminaries will be 20 minutes or the first to win 2 sets (each set has 3 games). The Grand Final will be first to 3 sets with no time limit. Hopefully we'll be able to put this one up on the big screen.

3. Trackmania Sunrise
The format of this will depend on the numbers of participants - We'll either do a "Rounds" based comp, or if we have sufficient players, we'll do a "TimeAttack" first, and take the top 8 players into the "Rounds" final. Tracks will be announced on the day, and you'll be given sufficient time to practise the new tracks before competing.

4. MPU Racing Cup
Round 2 of the MPU Racing Cup will be played using Colin McRae 2005. Missingo is still putting the finishing touches on this one. Stay Tuned...

Hahahaha Nice

Sounds like heaps of Fun

That's just awesome. Great to see that fun is the focus here. :)

man this sux, best ut on its way and im gunna miss it...

Good linkage, Blindside - cheers :)

Been playing a fair bit of Deathball since installing on the weekend - it's heaps of fun!!!

Bertie, might I request that the Deathball comp be changed to 4v4.

You'll get more teams participating, and the smaller maps dont get too crowded with only 8 in them.

And bertie, is the Trackmania Sunrise Comp going to be on the Demo or the Full Version?

UT2004 Tennis comp, w00t :D

I'll definatly participate in the DB and MPU open comps!

And sifn't some soldat action

TM sunrise w00t!

but yeah, full version or demo? (i vote full)

im pretty sure its full version

hmm ok, make it a good mix of all three vehicles then plz

Yeah, We'll be using the full version of Trackmania (go grab yourself a copy if you don't already have it - it's only like $40...). The tracks I have in mind use all 3 cars - even the slow arse one ;)

I was thinking 4v4 for Deathball - but that means if you have a dedicated goalie, you only have 3 others playing for the ball. Then again, that might encourage the goalie to get out and about - which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I'll leave it up to you guys - I'll put a new poll on the MPU home page. Vote there and the option with the most votes come 10am Sat morning will be the way we go :)

5 v 5 better imo, 4v4 means most of the larger maps are too big and that the more 'elite' teams would have a bigger advantage

lol, elite teams at Deathball

I prefer 4v4 rather then 5v5 for Deathball

4v4 - more players

5v5 - less players

and I don't think many people at MPU have played Deathball as much, by looking at the MPU rego nick list. (afaik)

im going! im going! im going! im going! im going! im going! im going! im going! im going! im going! im going! im going! im going! im going! im going! YAY!!!! w00t deth2ballz her i comez0r :D
