Thu, Jul 3 2008 11:16:14 EST Bungie Day approaches!

NOTE: For those of you coming here from a link on the Riot - it’s already over :P

Bungie Day is this Monday, so don’t forget to hop on Live, get the free stuff only available for 24 hours, and play some Halo!

For Bungie Day, the RPWS plans to hold a special “Sevens” tournament, starting at around 8pm EST. This special tournament embraces Bungie’s favourite number in several ways:

  • 7 parties - There will be 7 parties hosted simultaneously.
  • 7 players - Each party will consist of 7 players.
  • 7 minutes - Each game will last 7 minutes.

So that’s 49 gamers across 7 parties duking it out. The winners from each party will advance to the final 7-player, 7-minute game, with the winner walking away with a sum of $77!

And yes, I did say $77. I actually have the money to pay for it ;)

All games will be default Slayer on Cold Storage (make sure to download before joining the party!), with no score limit and the aforementioned 7-minute time limit. If you wish to take part, all you need to do is reply here. Players will be divided into the 7 parties based on RPWS seeding.

If more than 49 players want to take part, then the first 49 players will be divided into the parties. Anyone who doesn’t show up in time will be replaced as necessary, starting with the 50th registrar onwards.

Have fun and see you on 7/7!

Notes: The $77 first prize will only be paid via PayPal to the registered e-mail of the victor. The prize is non-transferable. If the victor does not have a PayPal account, they must set one up before they can claim their prize.

Ah - you need to change the region on your console for the flag on your MGC profile to update ;)

On the night, you should get an invite from the person in charge of the room - or you can find them by using the “Friends of Friends” feature of the RPWS Members Gamertag (to which you will have received a friend request).

If all else fails, give me or another co-ordinator a shout and we’ll set it up, or post here.

Since I guess I’m in charge of Room 3, being the first person in the room, I was just wondering how many people there should be in the room before starting the game? Just in case 7 people don’t show up.

I’m not even really sure how to run this given that so few people signed up. I’ll more than likely gather everyone into my party first beforehand to discuss how to go ahead with the tournament.

Most likely, everyone will be split into 2 rooms, with the top 3 from each going through as well as a “wildcard” entry - or in the case no co-ordinator gets through, then the highest scoring co-ordinator.

Ok, that makes sense… there may not be 7 groups, but at least the groups that there are will have 7 people in them (or close to it).

Tournament is over!

After a slight change to the format with a low turnout, the final was changed from one 7 minute game, to an aggregate score across 2 games.

Both Capt Hacker and Its GH had the same leading score at the end - and both agreed to split the $77 prize fund, so both players will receive $33.50!

Hope to see you all soon for more regular season games and more tournaments! (Not necessarily all with prizes…)

Wait a minute! Math error. 77/2 = 38.5, not 33.5, that would be 67$.
