RtCW-Cup 4 Announced

image: mainimage


Return to Castle Wolfenstein returns again in 2010 with the fourth edition of RtCW-Cup. It has been nearly 9 months since RtCW-Cup 3 with the release of 'Wolfenstein' bringing hope to rekindle a community, sadly it was not to be. Early XMAS Cup run by twister proved that people still want to play RtCW and we hope that continues over the coming months.

This edition of the cup sees the introduction of our website, www.RTCW-CUP.co.uk, as a source for your RtCW needs. It also sees the return of the 3on3 competition, based on sign ups, which we hope will improve the cups.

Currently we are on the lookout for anyone interested in lending a hand in certain areas like WTV camming, news writers, interviewers or basically anything you think you can offer to make this a better experience. Anyone interested in this should pm an myself or any other admin - we have already had a lot of offers and I will be contacting these people again soon to get a better idea on who is still interested.

The 3on3 sign ups are now open, we would ask that you do not limit your roster to only 3 players as the cup cannot be slowed down if someone is not available, forfeits will be handed out to keep the cup running smoothly and on schedule. Currently sign ups are limited to 16, if this is surpassed we may think about expanding the competition. We are undecided on format currently, it will either be a one-day cup double-elim or a group-stage then double elimination playoff over the course of a week.

More details on the 6on6 cup will come soon, but currently we are aiming for at least 16 teams, there will be first a group stage and then a double elimination playoff - a consolation playoff is also something that could happen. The Grand Final for RtCW-Cup 4 will be on Thursday 10th June or earlier.

The rules section of our site is still under construction - more rules will be added before each of the cups start.

So please mark your interest by signing up to RtCW-Cup website at www.RTCW-CUP.co.uk - we would recommend you get your team mates signed up now as well.

Yay, let's do this!
Looking forward to spectate this.
Quotewe would recommend you get your team mates signed up now as well.


sounds like effort

can't i just post our lineup or something instead
yea idd, way too much work
Parent
i'm avi : D
I am not available.
I wasnt gonna say anything. But now that you have made me register and confirm email I am forced to:
In the rules it says "All players on a team must where matching respectable tags".
where?? really??
why is that that all the time if there's a seasonal rtcw cup we need to register player by player to make the roster..

make registration == leader + a comment with all the names.
effectively this will be the last time you need to register as we hope to continue using this site for future cups - maybe other RtCW cups like twister etc to make it easier on them and more manageable and quicker for others.

Sorry for putting you through this, but long run it will be less work for you and admins of any cup :P
Parent
the site should be able to read my mind and self registr me :(
Parent
first time ever that u need to register for one of our cups, and for twisters cup i just put lineup in textbox. So spend 20 secs and register its not that time consuming.
Parent
whining is fun though
Parent
gl & hf every1

gonna be a nice cup again gj merl =)
Don't you think all weapon boosting should be banned not just objective?

I mean for example on ice if you do the south jump really well then you should be rewarded by being out of north first , which isn’t possible if boosting is allowed (any semi-decent strafer will still stop you getting out of flag at north).

Also I just think weapon boosting is bad.

The game was designed with normal movement speed to be assumed not weapon boosting. The maps are balanced so the timing is fair for both sides (especially ice and village first stages).

Also air strikes and grenades are weapons and that’s going to have all sorts of consequences!

All other members of the community who were in the channel agreed and also thought its always been banned anyway.
Agreed 100%

Just sounds like youre scared of KiH and fette's strafing and want to get rid of their "advantage" by allowing boosting ;)

and whats with the disallowing doorway-blocking? ppl have always done that on beach.

Cant find ANY logic why you should change these rules, which have been the samefor CENTURIES .
(dictator stated why the other one shouldnt, I cba to state why the other one blablbal dont care enough atm xD)
Parent
The rules were just a quick 5min writeup, they will be refined etc. Door blocking has always been against the rules unless you are killable, just like standing in the doorway on beach :) and all the other rules were taken from rules that have already been put down, we have not implemented anything new - its just now down on paper as there are some mongols about :)
Parent
I removed this line of the rule as it was misleading, but maybe i should of left it :P

Quote(STANDING in doorways like axis spawn on beach is valid)
Parent
There's no way to stop fette (and his script!) from strafing like hell.
Parent
script? plz!
Parent
yea I made the script for him as im such an awesome strafer compared to that mr 43 noob
Parent
not allowing boosting on a docs carrier is much easier to reinforce as a rule, most teams boost at some point and especially on the one you mention, ice - I personally would prefer none but how to enforce such a rule?

(just for info, last cups we didnt put an real rules down on papar, and people boosted... :) )
Parent
Who boosted ?
Parent
I've never boosted in officials and neither has any team i pld in since we thought it was banned. Same for NP.

It's easy to enforce lol. If demos show someone was boosted then they lose the round. (Everyone has to take demos).

Basically you can tell by the clock too. Just get fette to do some standard times if someone is faster they boosted.
Parent
yyyyep, I guess 118 was the only one whos been boosting then ! xD!!111
Parent
nope we never boosted in officials :)
Parent
This seems settled then it should be banned.

Seems none of the "top" teams did it anyway it doesnt matter much.

If you suspect someone has done it then you can ask to check demos (Maybe a good strafer can get some times for axis north spawn to flag to help).

If they cant provide demos (they'll have at least 2 to provide) then they lose the round.

Maybe just state in a further news post that this is the new rule.

I put this in the current one when I originally posted, as we just wanted to get the sign ups out there - thought this would be enough for the moment.
Parent
Well I caught Sipperi discussing it earlier with a few others, just thought the matter should be clarified.

Sadly , i havn't yet devloped the power to predict whether this was one of the rules that would be added at a later date so i thought i should ask.

Besides since you said no objective boosting it implied normal boosting was fine.
Parent
indeed, once competition announcements have been made best to leave any need for clarification until then perhaps purely to save time for the both of us ;) only sign ups are open atm no competitions have actually been pushed properly - expect a 3on3 and basic rule set within the next few days though.
Parent
I think explosive weapon boosting is obviously not allowed, and maybe should be clarified in the rules, and also I never wanted any smg boosting allowed either, but merl was just worried that it will be hard to police.
Parent
Owzo is a traitor! :P
Im in if I can sort out my psu shutdown problems on my main pc. cant play on my netbook really :<
avi for the cup.
