It is good, but difference between 2nd and 3rd/4th seems too low. Maybe 50/25/12.5/12.5 would be better.

My plan is still for ICCUP for this weekend - mostly because I'm not going to be around myself to try to help smooth out any hiccups lol.

Regarding doing 12.5 for 3rd/4th.. I considered it, but I like round numbers lol

good distribution imo. I respect your pov, but i dont see a big incentive to play on 1.18 at the moment to be honest, i honestly think ICCup is the better choice atm, regardless of my affiliation with iccup.

1) 100 % of users who want to play on in this tournament have access to ICCup. This tournament doesn't attract beginner level/ casual level amateur, the "worst" players in this are around my level, C-/C Rank at iccup or better. While most of the better and top foreigners play on 1.18 too (on FISH server), many mid level players still don't. i don't have any exact number, but many of the people i know on this level still play ICCup exclusivly.

2) Current patch is having a lot of issues Current Thread with complaints. I didn't read the whole thread, but apparently there's massive problems with CPU usage this time.

3) ICCup offers support to all Tours run at the server. We can do serverwide announcements for events, offer Chat moderation when needed and cooperate to a certain extent when it comes to smurf-checking. This tour needs no smurf checking tho, that's more important when you intend to restrict the access to a certain group of players and have a hard time figuring out who-is.who.

So, as i said for me personally it doesn't matter that much, but i don't see the benefits of using 1.18 atm. Scham mentioned his issues with hosting and casting games on 1.16. I think that's a matter of experience. Once you're router ports are forwarded and you have no color glitches ingame, there's basically nothing troublesome from my experience in streaming with 1.16.

I want to second that no tours should happen in 1.18 until it's at least up to 1.16 functionality, from the player perspective at least. Of course 1.18 works fine for some people (including myself) but I see no reason to jump over to a product that is constantly changing and garnering complaints.

Hey guys, I am in need of an Admin for this weekend's event. I am going to be out of town, vacationing with the wife. If anyone knows anyone who would be interested, send them my way.

I wish it could be me but I am not a reliable candidate.

I have a tendency to not "give it my all". I'm flaky, and disappear at random intervals of time. And I do not have good judgment.

Just as a quick update:
I have not had any luck finding an admin for this week. If I am unable to find one today, I will need to cancel this week's tour (as I will not be available to do it myself). I will update the thread later tonight to let everyone know whats going on.

I tried it with FILTHYBW4 and it worked. Probably not intentional...

Yeah thats the old code (we didnt use up all of it). I am working on getting the new code fixed. And we've secured an Admin, thank you so much!

The filthybw5 code should be fixed now.

We are moving to a new chat channel. The new chat channel is "op filthycup".

I've updated the OP with this information as well.

hey guys, I'm still out of town but PLEASE go ahead and use the matcherino code. I'm going to leave this open til the morning and payout from my vacation then, to give people time to use up all the codes. Otherwise I'll make up the difference myself before I payout.
