Gears of War 3 2v2 Tournament Rules Help

[Timmy Skorcher]

I'm hosting a tournament next month in Tulsa, Oklahoma and I want to make sure I use good maps, settings, and gametypes. Can you guys help me out? I normally use MLG rules but of course there are none. I'm winging some of Hypefestation but I wanna double check. Help!

FYI this will be a LAN

Hypefest rules are fine, but if you're going to be running 2v2 Stick with Execution only and keep it to smaller maps to minimize stalemates. 2v2's play out much slower then 4v4's so if you include large or unbalanced maps like Sandbar, Overpass, ect, you're going to be there all day. Try to keep it to Hotel, Checkout, ect.

Rustlung needs to go. Its a KoTH map, with no power weapons, theres no need to push out for Execution. Other then that that should work fine, the only map that you may want to consider removing is Mercy, unless you want to throw a power weapon inside church, but idk if you want default swaps or not.

I wanna keep mercy only cuz its small but. There is a power weapon, the torque bow right smack in the middle of the map. Is that not a good spot?

The EGFC is running an in house 10 team 2v2 this saturday from midday(est), link in my sig. Full list of the maps we're using is in the thread. We'll be streaming most games too so you can watch and decide if you want to use the same maps or not.

Maps:
-Bullet Marsh (Exe/KoTH)
-Checkout (Exe/KoTH)
-Hotel (Exe/KoTH)
-Clocktower (Exe/KoTH)
-Old Town (Exe/KoTH)

=KoTH Only=
-Drydock
-Rustlung

Try shooting for a small map list. I just threw most of these out based on them being crowd favorites, but some I insist on due to them being small maps and since there's only 2 people, you got to make it more fast-paced.

Weapon swap(s):
Gorgon/Boltok Pistol to Snub Pistol

Standard Hypefestation setting. Nothing spectacular.

Game Type: Execution

===Rules===
4 Rounds
4 Minutes
Friendly Fire On
Classic Stalemate Off
Weapon Spawn After Pick-up

* Tournament is Double Elimination.
* Bracket matches should be best of 3. Finals matches should be best of 5.
* Default starter map = Checkout. Team that lost 1st round decides the next map. If goes to Game 3, 4, 5, repeat process until a victor is decided.
* BYOC. Bring deodorant. Leave the BS @ Home. Leave the excuses @ the door.

I hope all goes well for your tournament and good luck hosting it! I'll be attending an online tournament at the same time, so I won't be able to watch this. :(

Also, I suggest using TIO Tournament Organizer for your tournament for creating the bracket. It is completely random on the bracket making if you want, or you go in-depth and make seedings for the tournament. It SAVES me so much hassle for other tournaments I've hosted. You should try it out ;) Here's a link: http://tiopro.com/
It's pretty simple to use too. Everything is pretty much fill in the blank or is labeled obviously to sort things out nicely.

Hey man, I live in Texas and would definitely consider driving up for this event. When are you going to post some details?

Personally I think no because its too out in the open. In a 4v4 its fine, but in a 2v2 it will be harder to push on that. Nothing wrong with using it on default settings though if thats what you want to do, but Mercy would probably be your slowest map.
