Set up almost like the NBA/NFL. I know several attempts have failed miserably and thats why im doing things a bit different.
There would be 4 teams.
1. A "Bid" is taken for "manager" spots. Basically the 4 highest bidders (with tickets they have) gain the 4 captain spots.
2. After establishing who the captains are, they can recruit 3 players to play for them. Forms of bribery in tickets etc. are allowed BUT i must be aware of who got paid what.
For example. KidOni wins bid, recruits Ibo for 20tickets.
2 "1/2". Anyone can be recruited. If a player doesnt make it to a game. A "back-up" player needs to be in order.
3. I understand "omg trip thats gunna b alot of tickets". In the real world owners have a poo load of money. Loans are taken out, and contracts made. Right now, we have players hoarding 100+ even 200+ tickets. Lets get the economy rolling.
4. For obvious reasons, only trust worthy players should be recruited.
example "Play for me, i make sure trip awards u certain % of the winnings" you 2 agree...i document it!
5. For 4 weeks there would be games played every Saturday. One round at 7pm est the Other at 8pm est.
Finally. Thats a long time whats the prize? Remember those tickets from the bid? The "manager" will regain the tickets he bet at the bid. Then the rest are divided between a team.
Depending on the bids, your looking at making...20-50 tickets per player. Plus your guaranteed a CTF match every saturday at a specific time. None of this "boy i hope a ctf is hosted!" or "I hope im one of the first 8!". Not to mention immortalized as the first team to win a real CTF Tourney.
Please do NOT post on this. Contact me in game

Ok, I got trip's permission to post here.
Look mr/mrs big shot massive-ticket ammount greedy captains/managers:
There are a few things you must realize if you want to win this thing:
1)Defense Wins Championships. Enough Said.
2)Players don't want a massive ammount of tickets if they are going to be on a poo team. Don't go for one superstar and 2 average players. The superstar will leave after the 1st season if the team sucks.
3)Divide up the tickets fairly evenly. If one of your players makes a bunch more than the others, then you could have greed issues. Try to keep the ticket payment within 5-10 of each other, so everyone seems even.
4)Don't just get the best player you see. Chemistry is the key to ctf, aside from defense. I've seen stacked teams lose to decent teams b/c they just couldnt seem to work off each other. Find players that play a lot and work well together.
5)Knowledge is power. I've theorized for a long time that the smart players will win. Players that know what to do in situations, or have those 'ctf instincts' have the intangables that you can't measure. It's things like these that can make the difference. Look for it.
Have fun.

Oh right. The above post wasn't even my original plan.
For you managers out there, you need to know who's available to recruit. Although everyone that is online is open game, obviously some are better than others.
Here's a list that should be the cream of the crop:
Clel
Thor
Ibo
Trip
Gladius
Jet*
Kill
Laura
Mighty*
Deophite*
Shimmy
Nighty
Rob*
Tobi*
Lyzix*
Xaphan
Zero*
Rufus
KidOni
Mystic
Yump
Luda*
Zedo
E26*
Eillen*
Sneak
Ranger*
Note: Players with a * next to their name indicates the fact that they don't log on as much as they used to. Thus they are no guarenteed to always be around when you need them. Recruit at your own peril.
Recruit these people soon!
Shouldnt have left anyone out...

Managers for the CTF entrance fee will be a flat fee of 50 tickets. I will expect PMs this Saturday (the 17th). IF for any reason i dont get the 4 captains, the date will extend to Sunday, The 18th.
If you can get members without paying, good job...personally im playing for whoever pays me the highest.

Appears KidOni steals the last manager position. Those who have manager spots will obviously control their team.
Buying this team is almost like stock. As manager we will agree on the starting date of the League, as well as the Deadline to have at least a 4 player Roster. Look for the topic "Deadline/Schedule" and we can discuss firstly the Deadline to recruit the 4 man roster!
Afterwards will be the scheduling CTF match dates (since you dont know who's on your team and their schedule we cant do this yet!). Will keep you posted on updates.
also will be requesting the full 30ticket entry fee now.

Its come to my attention that there are nobel players out there! If for any reason you can only get 3 players online,and if your opponent agrees to a 3 on 3 that would be acceptable. BUT if they say no, its a handi-capped match of 3 VS 4. This is a fair solution, since it was a captains duty to recruit reliable players  (because im NOT accepting anymore additional players to the teams from here on out...will post who's got who now) Team Clel Roster: Clel, Rob, Flameboy, Zedo, Deophite, Kill Team Mystic Roster- Mystic, Zero, Brett, Lakuta, Shimmy Team Trip Roster: Trip, Ibonic, Glad, Thor, Laura, Cannabis Team Oni Roster: Oni, Yump, Rufus, Mighty, Wikkid, Jsoze, Luda, Mimic, RM, Amplified No more add-ons now |

Well it seems that Trip is stepping down, and that I, Gladius, am now running this show.
Ok, well, I have a few things to announce:
First off, games will be played, at least at the start, with even teams. If it's 2v2, or worse, then the gametype will be LoL. But no more 4v3 or other uneven games.
Second off, teams need to have 3 ppl that for the "core of the team". They are the people who will 90% of the time be automatically online for the matches. Teams can have more than this "core" number, obviously. But I want 3 ppl guaranteed to be on. If teams are unbalanced, say 4to3 at the start, then the lesser team can find someone off the street. But if teams are 3v3, for example, neither team will be able to get someone, instead it will be played 3v3.
Third off, I plan to move the "All-Star Match" to later in the tournament schedual. Week 3 is too early, IMO, since there have only been 4 matches. Plus, team mystic is in slight confusion right now. And, for the other teams, not all the people have been able to play so they can't strut their stuff the same as the other people. I'll reconfigure a new schedual soon.
Just thought of a 4th thing: If both teams have 5 people on, or maybe even 6, then they can play with all their players. But only at the start. If the game starts 4v4, then someone else from both team logs on, they have to wait to be a replacement. Obviously, a 5v5 match could become a problem if someone leaves. Either the other team can be nice and have someone step out, or the lesser team can pick up a drifter.
If you have any other questions, I guess you can post em in the Ratings about CTF or w/e thread.

Well I have redone the schedual to look like so:
Week 1: 1 Sumo, 1 Small
Week 2: 1 Large, 1 Future
Week 3: 1 Small, 1 Large
Week 4: 1 Mode selected by team with least wins (Sumo, Small, Or Future)
Week 5: 1 Future, 1 Sumo
Week 6:~ALLSTAR Weekend! Before the weekend, each player will have a chance to vote for 2 players from each team. The 2 players from each team with the most votes will be "All-Stars". The 8 players will be divided into 2 teams, with the combos being Trip+Mystic and Clel+oni. A grand 4v4 match will be played, though not sure on what gametype yet.
Since weeks 1 and 2 are done, upcoming on Saturday is the Small gametype once again. Team trip will face team mystic, and team clel will face team oni.
Sunday will be Large gametype, with matchups being mystic vs oni, and a rematch between clel and trip.
