Yes yes it would!   

Edit: When does the ICW end exactly?

There is no exact time  It could end next week or in 3 months. it all depends on how things pan out as paople make attacks. I would guess it would be over in the next 3-4 weeks.

I'm enjoying the ICW so hopefully it keeps going for a while.
If theres no objections I'll start working on some rules since there seems to be some interest in this. Can you (Sev) let me know if you want to help out at all or just play in it.

[Helios]

Oh dont get me wrong ill help out for sure me and u can be Admins if thats what u want.

[{PLA}gdh92]

Thats good to hear. I really don't mind either way. I'll type up a first draft of the rules soon then you and other people can help make changes to improve it. What do you think about having 2 leader boards one for single duels and one for teams of 4?

Edit if you turn on xfire we can use that to save posting lots of messages here

[Helios]

sorry dont have Xfire no more made my computer Lag alot so we'd have to PM the drafts or what not.

[{PLA}gdh92]

No problem. Hopefully I'll edit this post later with a draft.

Edit: Full rules below.

[Helios]

Alright cant wait!

Edit on Sunday 8th: Hopefully this is the final version....

Rules and outline:
The swbf leaderboards tournament will be split into two sections one for individuals and one for teams of four and will start on September 1st. Thanks to Led/Buckler it will be hosted by SWBFgamers.

Individuals:
The first 20 (I'm optimistic) people to join will be be given random numbers to order them in the scoreboard. If you want to move up in the rankings you need to challenge someone within 3 places of you(for example number 7 can challenge 6, 5 or 4). If you win you take their place and they move down one. New players have to start at the bottom and work up.

Every player is expected to accept 2 challenges a week but there is no maximum. Admins will oversee any matches where a player requests it but both players can agree to no admins before matches. If you want screenshots from the other player you can also arrange this before the match. There would be a time limit of 20 minutes per match for individuals (then first kill wins for ties). There will be no CP bleed (meaning reenforcements will only go down with kills but CPs can be captured.

Teams:
Teams must have 6 registered members and can change only one member a week. Time limit is 30 minutes per match. Other rules are the same as individuals except teams can only challenge within two places and there will be CP bleed.

Both:
The defender would choose the era and map from Cloud city and Mos Eisley with the condition that 2 people cannot play the same map twice in a row. The attacker would choose the team. Gameplay would be capturing cps but no special units for the sake of balance.

Rules:
1.Screenshots must be taken of all scores.
2.No mods (minimap always on, transparency etc.) Only crosshairs and player skins are allowed.
3.No cussing/swearing
4.No wall hacking
5.Remember this just a game so be nice and play fairly with other players.
6.No challenging the same player more than 2 weeks in a row.
7.No special units (Jets, Wookie or Droideka)
8.No tanks
9.If an admin is requested for a match the match must start within 10 minutes of the proposed time. It will  then start regardless of how many players are present.
10.Matches are based on the position of the players before the match not the leaderboard. Example: If player 5 beats 4 he is then out of range of player 8 even if the leaderboard has not been updated yet. Its not as confusing as that sounds .
11.Any arguments over matches must be posted the smae day     
Penalties for breaking these rules will normally take the form of a place drop.

Please let me know if you think anything should be changed.

[Helios]

Yes and there will be 1.No wallhacking
2.No poor sportsmanship
3.No cussing
4. If u r going to join please make it to your matches

Led/Buckler has agreed to host the server for this tourey. A big thanks to him

[{PLA}gdh92]

Thanks Sev. I'll edit the last post as suggestions come in. Thanks Led for hosting. Since thats the biggest problem sorted I'll try and finish the basics by the weekend then leave this topic for general conversation and start another one with the rules and leader board where matches can be arranged.

Plaese keep ideas coming in and post below if you want to join. Then hopefully in a couple of weeks we can be playing in this

I'll definitely want to compete, although my schedule might get a big rough with school starting next week.

Not quite sure how i feel about the idea of CPing though, unless you disallow the use of specialty classes. I think jets would have an unfair advantage.

You can always use fair sides like I did in the I organized. I specifically chose the rebels because their were no jets and the droideka would have lagged.

[ComFrost]

I would suggest a "no tank" rule on Mos Eisley. Otherwise it would be really bad...
