Conquer Club Olympics 2015

[Ffraid]

Couple of things:

Judging by the pattern of the other events, which seem to be open for 24 hours, I think you may have meant that MegaBarge Racing will be closing on Sep 19 at 12 AM.

Also, am I understanding this correctly? If I want to enter one of the tribal events, I must join a tribe at anytime from, well, now, basically, until Sep 21. If I join after that, it's too late?

Correct.

[sempaispellcheck]

only 1 member from a Tribe may enter each iteration of [a Tribe] tournament.

How many iterations of each tournament will there be?

That post was superceded by this one:

I guess with all the behind-the-scenes discussions setting up this event, I misunderstood something, and it needs to be corrected. Only a few of the tournaments are designnated as Tribe-only, and for those* there is a rule of one member per Tribe/Clan. All others are wide open, open to tribe members and non-tribe members alike.

The four tribe-only events are marked with an asterisk in the list.

*The Tournaments marked thus will be Tribe Tournaments, meaning that to join you must be in a Tribe, and only 1 member from a Tribe may enter each iteration of the tournament.

[sempaispellcheck]

The part I quoted came from that post.

Is there only going to be one iteration of each tournament, then?
Or is it that a new iteration will be created every time an existing iteration fills?

Yeah, they should re-iterate for the full 24 hours as long as they keep filling.

I can say that with confidence for the individual events. For the Tribal events I'm not 100% sure.

It would be nice if they did reiterate for the Tribal Events as well, so different players get the chance to represent their Tribes, and so Tribes don't get closed out of an event.

I'll have an answer for you before the first Tribal event launches on the 21st. I haven't been as on-the-ball with regards to CC as I used to be. Have quite a bit of stuff happening in R/L/.

[jmyork82]

so there is no gold in the opening ceremonies?

[MrJody]

"Player is not allowed to enter this tourney due to Entry Rules: Membership=P, Templates:!3141"

Will any of the games be for non premium players?

Go My Tribe!

[IcePack]

"Player is not allowed to enter this tourney due to Entry Rules: Membership=P, Templates:!3141"

Go My Tribe!

If you go through the list, looks like there are 4 events that have no premium requirements.

"Player is not allowed to enter this tourney due to Entry Rules: Membership=P, Templates:!3141"

Most of the tournaments are Premium-only. Each tournament stands alone and has its own entry rules. Membership=P means premium-only. There are four that allow freemiums:
Sep 25, 12 AM to Sep 26, 12 AM CC Olympics - Holiday Decorating
Sep 26, 12 AM to Sep 27, 12 AM CC Olympics - Settings Dredging
Sep 26, 12 PM to Sep 27, 12 PM CC Olympics - Glow-in-the-Dark Archery
Sep 29, 12 AM to Sep 30, 12 PM CC Olympics - Closing Ceremonies

You can join those four.

It'd be nice if speed tournaments were made more obvious. I joined the MegaBarge tourney via Central Command so didn't really pay attention to the details, just jumped in which is admittedly my own fault. I had no idea they were speed games.

Furthermore, the first round games ended over 30mins ago and no more have started. There's also no notification when they do, so players basically have to keep refreshing to see if the game(s) started. Up to an hour or more of that? No thanks. I'm glad I deadbeated.

[dkmaster]

I havent played speed much so dont now how they usely works. But yes it was a pretty bad setup.

I was the last person to join so expected the games to start soon after that. It didnt happen so refreshed until it startet. Still managed to miss first round though. Afterwards I saw PM was send as usual when an auto tournament starts but in speed that is not much of an announcement.

Then after all games in first round was finished I waited over 40 minutes refreshing and refreshing and refreshing until second game startet. There was no announcement anywhere of that game starting. Whether PM or popup.

Then again after round two was finished it startet over again. Refreshing, refreshing, refreshing over 40 minutes before final game startet.
Again no anouncement anywhere.

That was not was I expected of playing in speed games. Kinda like dancing slow fox in a strange way
Not quick quick slow quick quick slow but instead quick quick quick slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow

Inexcusable.

It's happening right now in this tourney as well:

Yeah, it's just another iteration of the same tourney, so it carries the same flaw.

It's only been about 10 minutes since this was reported to Bw, and he said he'll get on it immediately, so just hang tight.

[Ukey]

I figured. Will do and thanks for the quick response and attentiveness.

[Dukasaur]

You're welcome. Problem should be fixed now, and BW has joined the next iteration of this tournament so he'll know right away if the fix doesn't work.

[shoop76]

Joined a speed tournament. Have waited 1 hour and no one else has joined. Didn't we learn anything from last year? Why have all these speed tournaments for this event? No one plays them.

The number of speed tournaments has been significantly reduced from last year, but some people do like them, so we didn't eliminate them completely.

The tournament you're talking about did have three, I think, or maybe four, iterations fill today, so it's not a completely lost cause.

[shoop76]

Now its 2 hours and we are up to 5. This can't be the way its intended to run.

Like duk said, it's on the 3rd or 4th remake, so yeah sign ups begin to slow down.

[t4mcr53s2]

i was confused by this in opening post asterisks
*The Tournaments marked thus (with an asterisk ) will be Tribe Tournaments, meaning that to join you must be in a Tribe, and only 1 member from a Tribe may enter each iteration of the tournament."

i assumed the second half of the sentance applied only to those tournements(events) asterisked that the first 1/2 talked about ; but i understand that i'm wrong ....

However it seems a second clanmate can join another iteration of the same event at least for the non asterisked tourneament events ;
