----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recently my guild (wee free men) and I invented a little game called dodgeball, posted details of how to play it here along with a video and suddenly it seems to have taken off. Half of my friends list has changed its name to "xxxx dodgeballs" and dodgeball matches were going on on observer mode today. So with that in mind we're going to run a 4 v 4 dodgeball tournament.

You can see the video of dodgeball in action here:
http://rapidshare.de/files/20402864/Dodgeball.rar.html (About 40mb)
http://files.filefront.com/Dodgeball.../fileinfo.html - (About 79mb) Thanks to Kuntz for this video.

How do you play dodgeball?

Each team rolls 4 mesmer/elementalists with 16 fast casting, and 12 air magic. They take 5 superior fast casting runes, which drops their health to 105.
This means that 1 lightening orb (85 damage + armor penetration) deals 108 damage, killing a player in one hit.

The mesmers have only 4 skills, lightening orb, air attunement, elemental attunement and windborne speed.

The flag stand serves as a mid point and no team is allowed to cross the flag stand, teams must toss orbs at eachother from their side until the opposing team is DPed out. Should Victory or death occur, all rules are off, players may move freely across the flag stand until one team is knocked out or the guild lord is dead.

Signing up

Teams will compete as guilds, so if a guild signs up to the tourny they can only have one team, but that team can consist of different guild members each match.

If your guild is interested in entering the tournament leave its name in this thread, along with its guild tag and it'll be added to the list.

Referees

Each game will be observered by 2 referees, 1 on either team.
Each referee will be an Ele with ob flame and glyph of energy.
If a player crosses the flag stand they will be asked to move back, if they cross the flag stand and make a kill, they will be ob flamed.
If a player out right cheats they will be disqualified.

Equipment Required

All mesmers should wear enchanters armor, with 5 superior fast casting runes attatched, every mesmer should have a SWORD with 20% enchant mod, and a 20/20 air artifact offhand. No items or armor should give health or +armor.

Playing the matches

Matches will take place in the Wee Free Mens guild hall, and one member of WFM will join each match to play referee. If a guild should break the rules they'll be disqualified from the tournament.

Prizes?

Prizes will probably be in the form of a currently undecided amount of gold. Donations to the prize fund would be more than appreciated.

fiery · May 15, 2006, 01:24 PM // 13:24

Nice idea.

SLuiP · May 15, 2006, 01:27 PM // 13:27

Currently no time has been decided.

skretth · May 15, 2006, 01:52 PM // 13:52

wow, no sooner had i posted something almost identicle on our guild forums it appears on guru

i wont say it was my idea from the beginning, but grats on your tourney

Red · May 15, 2006, 01:57 PM // 13:57

... that is quite possibly the sexiest thing I have ever seen.
I'll be organizing my own guild group, I think. A question, though... what do I do if more than four people from my guild want to play dodgeball? o_O;

Kabale · May 15, 2006, 01:58 PM // 13:58

This looks awesome.

I'll see if some iA people want to come along. Is it 4vs4 then?

SLuiP · May 15, 2006, 02:05 PM // 14:05

It is 4vs4, but switches of players between matches are allowed.

If more of your guildies wants to play, you just have to organize it

.
Look in the signup thread here.

Hurry up though, maximum 16 guilds are allowed in this tourny ^^.

well we posted a video of us playing dodgeball a few days ago on the forums, so yea :P we thought of this some time back.

Hilarious. I bet the creators of GW didn't expect an independent GW sport

Guildy #1: "Who wants to Kill Shrio and save Cantha from the evil plague that could wipe out the entire contintent?"
Guildy #2: "I can't... Dodgeball."

Get copyrights quickly before they nerf it and make us pay for Guild Wars 3: Dodgeball!

Trippy · May 15, 2006, 03:02 PM // 15:02

what about armor and weapon? there's armor that gives extra health now. you can go up to 140, and then there's the weapon with 2x +30hp if you pick a staff.

demon dantes · May 15, 2006, 03:08 PM // 15:08

this sounds cool but what would the winning team get for winning the tourny. is it just the prestige that they won at gw dodgeball or is there a grand price?

SLuiP · May 15, 2006, 03:13 PM // 15:13

No + armor or health any places. 105 HP is what you need. Updating rules atm. Keep checking the main post.

demon_dantes: Check the main post under "Prizes"

Nice guys! It's Of No Consequence (you might remember me? I joined a couple of your PvP groups). Nice idea, I love it

Good luck with the Tournament

It's a cool idea and I think it'll be pretty popular ^^

Thanks,
