Hey Guys. If you don't already know there is a sub Reddit called "mctourney" that hosts race for the wool tournaments every few months, which you should definatly check out. http://www.reddit.com/r/mctourney
I think the idea of having Minecraft mini-game tournaments is a great idea! Over at mctourney they have a great community, but they limit the number of teams that enter the tournaments to 32 (<- I think that's right), and there only have them every few months.
My solution is to constantly being running a tournament so everyone can join in on this amazingly fun experience. There are a few different mini-games that these tournaments could run on;
Tournament Games
Tower Control is a team based tactical game made by "sethBling"
Pit Frenzy is a 1v1 arena map made by "sethBling"
Cluster Chunk is a team based PvP map made by "three_two"
If you don't know what race for the wool is, go Google it.
For the first tournament I'm going to have a Race for the Wool. After that I will take suggestions and we can go from there. If you want to participate in this tournament you need to come up with a team to compete. Teams will be made up of 4 members.
Important:
If you don't have a team that's absolutely fine. You're still welcome to join. If you guys want, you can group up with other people, who signed up with partial teams. If not i will be creating a list of teams when i set up the brackets and i will pair anyone who's team isn't full then with other people who have posted.

I'm hoping we can get at least 8 teams so we can have a decent tournament. Please tell your friends or anyone who might want to join so we can have a good turnout. If this thread gets a lot of views and we can get 8 or more teams together relativity soon, the tournament will start in a few weekends. If not we might start sooner and make do with only a couple of teams.
Please post if you have any questions or ideas. Thanks.
This seems really fun, even though you posted the idea before me . Oh well, I'll still join, even though I don't have a team.

Quick question, which race for wool map are you going to be using? If it's one that I don't know, I'd like to learn it before the tournament starts.
Note: at the moment, hurricane sandy is probably going to hit me tomorrow, so I might be without power for like 3 day, so if I don't reply, that's why (if I do reply, then completely disregard this lol).
Also, since 1.4 was released today, you could also probably do cube control. I don't know how many people have played it so far (because it was on the snapshots), but I think it might be a pretty cool map to base a tournament around.

I haven't decided on the map yet. I'll pick one when we get two more people to sign up and then give everybody a few days to learn the map.
As for Cube Control it sounds like a great idea for future tournaments, but i want this one to be a race for the wool for nostalgic purposes.

That works! If you're doing it for nostalgic purposed, Direct Fire would probably be the way to go, just since it's been around since 1.8. And yes, cube control for future tournaments, not the first one. I was talking about for future tournaments anyway. Can't wait for the tournament!!
Cube control would be a lot of fun. Looking forward to the tournament. I am on the east coast and Hurricane Sandy is supposed to be here visiting monday or tues I think so like Cab21 I may have no power for a few days. Hoping that doesn't happen since it will mess up my work also :o(

More members to come (hopefully)
Alrighty guys we now have roughly 6 teams if conway and his team will join and jockey can find 2 more players. So if next Friday November 2, works for everyone I think we'll have our first match then at 4:00pm Mountain Time UST-7:00. Please pm me to confirm that you have read this post. I will use your pm as your confirmation into the tournament. Captains can reply for their team. Also pm me if you can't make the time on Friday so i can decide which teams are going to play the first match. Since people didn't really get together about their own teams I'm going to assign them based on when everyone signed up.

As for BRACKETS for the first round it's going to be:
Team 1 vs Team 3
Team 4 vs Team 6
Team 5 vs Team 2
These teams were picked from random.org
Since were starting with 6 teams the second round will be a little unorthodox, but don't worry I've got it planned out.
Please get together with your teams before then and familiarize yourselves. We will be hosting a TeamSpeak server for the event, the info is below. You can either hook up with each other on the TeamSpeak or you can exchange Skype and get in contact yourselves. There will be 5 lobbies set up before the tournament for getting in contact with each other.

Now for the unveiling of the map. This map will be used for every match in the tournament, so learn it well.
I will be make 1 small change so LISTEN UP. At the beginning there are 4 double chest with a crap ton of supplies. I'm going to be limiting the supplies to 4 singe chests. Each chest will have 1 iron sword, 1 bow, 64 arrows, 64 torches, and 4 cooked pork chops.
Another think I want to discuss is referees so LISTEN UP. I would be great if in addition to the 2 teams who are having there match if there are 2-3 other people to fly around and make sure the teams are playing fairly. My friend and I will be referees while we aren't play, so if anyone else wants to be a referee for matches please let me know.
Thanks
Thank you guys so much for taking an interest in this tournament it really means a lot to me. I've been wanting to give back and do something for the Minecraft community lately. I think I've finally found it with this tournament and hopefully with future tournaments as well. Again if you have any questions please let me know sooner than later. There is still a lot of organization to do to get everyone together. I don't know how to get you guys to get in contact with your teams to come up with a strategy and plan, so with regret I have to leave that up to you. The best I can do is give you the TeamSpeak server and hope you can all find time to talk.
Goodluck to all the competitors and happy Minecrafting.
I am really looking forward to this. ZZrules and TJOKM and I have been in touch through PM"s already. I should warn you though that I am in NJ and right in the path of Hurricane Sandy who is supposed to knock on my door Monday night or Tuesday. The power company here is suggesting that we prepare for power outages that will last from a few days to a few weeks. In the event that I have no power I will try to find a place that has power and internet before friday to let you know. Can't promise that will happen.
Hope everyone else is somewhere that will be dry this week.
