Overview wrote:Tournament: On May 28, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. EST, teams from each Halo community will fight for glory, pride and honor.
Teams of six will compete using the Bungie Humpday rules: best of three, only members of your community can play for your teams and matchmaking game types only (excluding MLG, Team Classic, Grifball and Action Sack variants). A coin flip will determine which team gets first choice. The losers of each match will choose the next game.
Each site should choose one member to be its community leader. Leaders will be responsible for organizing his/her members. If it would be easier to have several leaders, that’s fine.
The leaders do not have to play in every game. In fact, they don’t have to play at all. We just need all of the help we can get.
Each site can have up to three teams (that’s 18 total people). This will help accommodate communities with large memberships.
Hello, fellow PA Forum denizens. A friendly (I'm assuming) tournament is at hand. Not quite the tournament type? 343 will be hosting those with who prefer the more laid back and no-pressure environment of custom games. They will be showering prizes on both crowds after the night is done, though.
Prizes wrote:Prizes: Everyone who plays in the tournament will be entered into a random drawing. Those who win the drawing will receive one free DLC code from the GameStop.com Xbox DLC store valued at $10 or less. (This can be Halo DLC, Mass Effect 2 DLC or anything in the DLC store that costs no more than $10.)
The tournament winners will be entered into the drawing twice, giving them a higher chance to win — but no guarantee! This is in addition to the bragging rights the tournament winners earn.
There will be a second drawing for one person who played with 343 Industries to win a DLC code. All players have an equal chance of winning.
Prize Update: 343's bsangel has added more incentive to play in the tournament.
The winning tournament community members will each win one of two XBLA games ("Full House Poker" or "Dishwasher: Vampire Smile,") a Green Spartan Avatar Armor code, a Halo Flood Pet Avatar Prop and both a red and a blue Avatar Helmet.
The six random winners of the $10 DLC prize will also win a randomly selected Halo Games on Demand code ("Halo 3," "Halo Wars" or "Halo: Reach.")
And here is where we come in. I am in charge of the Penny Arcade Forum participants. As such, I need to know three things about you:
1) Do you want to participate in the Tournament side or the Customs side? (You can't be in both)
2) If you are in the customs group, would you like to be an alternate for the tournament side just in case?
3) What is your gamertag?
Anybody who has a join date before today (Monday, May 16th) can play. There are no minimum skill or level or anything requirements. This is open to all subforums on Penny Arcade Forums. Just sign up if you're interested. Don't be shy! If we don't manage enough for 6 unique teams in the tournament, people will simply play multiple times.

I would like to teabag 343 and/or stab them in the back.
My dreams are shattered fyre, thanks.
sure, sign me up as an alternate/alternate.
(GT is Nocren v2)
Because I would love customs, but not if it means starting at 4am.
Yes, asshole o'clock.
Oh, come on, Leitner, what do we need sleep for?
I had basically all my best matches in H3 at asshole o'clock (GMT+1 though :P).
Still sign me up for customs tho (and for the tournament side if I dont get into customs)
GT is inpenetrableman

Can I be an alternate on the tournament side now?
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
I will say though, I'd join the tourney if somehow the numbers don't work out and you need someone else.
But I'm in for Customs - and very, very excited. I noticed though, no mention of the DLC maps. Am I still going to be ok if I haven't purchased any DLC yet?
Gamertag: MXrox
Or should I enter the tourney? Every tourney needs someone to lose the first round...
Can we check to see if its necessary?
Also I don't have a mic, but I dont think thats a problem?
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
The brackets are now available.
If you can crosspost it to SE++ without a server error, go ahead. I can't seem to be able to have the servers stabilize when I try to post there.
edit: I'll try right now though

1) 8 343 employees play against a team of 8 customs entrants. Game concludes, they invite another 8 people until they've gone through everyone they can
2) 343 employees split into various groups and play team/ffa games and rotate new players into the game until they've gone through everyone they can
You're entered for a prize win or lose on either customs or tournament.
