I was thinking of a SDOE Tournament! We have had several attempts before, with varying degrees of success. I was hoping to have a tournament with very simple rules and lot's of missions to choose from to fly. There would of course be Prize Money at stake (I'm thinking another $100.00), as well as the accolades that come with winning such an event. I believe we could have both squad based and single player events.

My initial thoughts are to have guidelines that all participants have the settings for SDOE be the most advantageous to online play. That being 1) Fog set at 5miles 2) Clouds off 3) 800x600 screen resolution. Things along those lines. I had hoped these settings would be best for keeping the frame rates as high as possible.

Missions could be submitted by all for the tournament. The players involved would choose missions. Then the two competing squads/individuals would (for the sake of fairness) play the selected mission/missions from both sides. Or maybe the missions would be selected by a random generator once all missions were submitted.

As you all can see I'm still thinking this out. I need and desire input form you all.

The one thing I do know is I would like it to coincide with the end of the contest. Then maybe the fruits of that (the planes) can be used for the Tournament.

O.k. torch me, rate me, debate me, but please....help me.

I don't want this Tournament to get muddy, and bogged down with rules and regulations, which sometimes can happen. I think this can be simple, and still fun.

As far as other prizes in addition to the money...I see no reason that couldn't happen, but I have no such guarntee's of anything else at this time.
