So, as I've told anyone who will listen, I love the new swords.

It has occurred to me that we have yet to host any contests that involve fighting. I was thinking it might be fun to have a contest to see who the best sword fighter on Roblox.

However, I don't know how such a contest would work, since people live in different timezones, and we probably couldn't all fit inside one Roblox place to hold a tournament.

Any ideas?

Maybe you could just open your place up for most of the day, then when two or more people are in your place, two will teleport to an arena and fight, and if there is more than two people then just make the unchallenged fight with the loser, also, you could make a certain type of scoreboard that shows people's stats even when they leave the place. And make the people take turns. Is that good?

You could have it take place over a certain ammount of time...but that probably would not work either...

Have a sing up sheet
Randomly slect 2 people to fight.
when the two people are online at the same time they are warped into a arena.
They fight
winner proseeds
if a player is inactive for 3 days, he is removed from the contest.
Ect.

I was thinking something along those lines, but how will they know who wins?
and how can they write a code that will warp them to the arena?

Wow, that's a pretty good idea, but what if one or both of the people didn't want to fight at that particular time?

i gues the 2 players would agree on a time. and i think they should play up to a seartain amount of KO's like 10 and we'd need referys to watch every game

It's also hard to account for lag - you might have a player who is really good but is on a poor connection - not entirely fair.

I'd like to figure something out though.

Maybe we could have everyone thats in a certian time zone sign up for a certian round. So for the first round you would just have people of the similar time zone fight each other. Once it got to the later rounds you would have to, of course, both fight each other at a time on which your both on. That could get a little tricky.... but at least you wouldnt have to worry about the time zone problem for the first round or so.

A fighting tournament would be great! The only real problem is the time zones.

The first rounds could be organised by time zones, so that until the final or semi-finals everyone is fighting somebody in their timezone.
The whole tourny could take place over a week or weekend. The final or semifinal could take place on a Saturday so that it does not disrupt anyones daily routine too much.

As for not being able to fit everyone in one server maybe a video of the final could be uploaded somewhere for all to see. I think a tournament is possible.

I just realised koopa posted the same idea

Different timezone matches would need judges from that timezone too maybe, which i didnt think about, or Telamon could find himself on a 48 hour shift...

Maybe I am overestimating the number of people who will participate here. Only around 10 people ever seriously enter contests, will it be any different when it is fighting?

A way to stop the need of judges and get more players into the tournament is possible. What if a server was set up, and for the entire day of the first round anybody can go join the game (which appears in official roblox games). Everyone is put into a waiting room and gets to watch a fight between two players. The player who wins this fight is added to a list of winners. Both players are added to a list of entrants, and prevented from any further battles for the rest of the day. The next day only people on the winners list may battle. If anyone does not attend then they are disqualified. This continues until the entrants a sifted down into a handful, and the final 3 rounds or so happen at set times that suit these people.

One problem with having people waiting for a match in the same arena as the people battling would be lagg. If there are to many people all in one place it will generate a load of lagg. Although, i dont really have a better idea than yours Miked.

If there ways a sword fight
I would like to request two things..

1) that they would be differnt move (kind of like miked's soccer) so u could attack right or left or shright down.
2) that the people who make it to the semi finils or near the end get to make their own sword for the last few rounds( the sword would have to be of a certren size) or someone would make a huge one

oh i have a 3rd request-
that the winner gets to put a sword the the back of his or her avatar
but he or she would have the opsin of taking it off

1) I think there could be a problem with this first one. The admins would have to make brand new moves for this. I kinda think thats takes a while. So, it would work if they were to make new moves in the future. You can also kinda attack right or left, you just have to move your character to the left or the right while swinging. It doesnt work the best, but you cant still kinda do it.

2) This.... i dont think would really work either, cause people would have to take the time to make their own, either with bricks or with meshes.... It would be very limiting if there was a size limit... which there would need to be. You would also have to put everyones sword into the place.... which you couldnt do at one time very well, so you would have to constantly shut it down and publish a new one with the swords in it.

Sorry.... Just my thoughts though...

I have a lenghy idea:

Divide the tournament into the time zones. You can just announce each match up for each time zone normally, without the hassle of figuring out the times (yet...). The over-all winner of each time zone will move on.

This is where the hard part comes. In order to get the most convenient times, match up each winner of their time zones with the one next to it. For example, match up The Central Division winner with the Eastern Division winner. Central might start at 5:00, and Eastern might start at 6:00. If you tell the winners to pay attention only to their time, they shouldn't get confused. Though it will get harder to find times as the tournament goes on. Example, Pacific beats mountain, and Central beats Eastern, so Pacific faces Central. So Pacific might start at 5:00, and Central might start at 7:00 (I'm just using 4 time zones here, I don't know how many you plan on using). The whole thing would have to be planned as it goes on.

And that concludes my lenghy idea.

Well, that would just allow people that play the most to win.... and it ruins the fun of being in a tourny. Not to mention you would just get loads of people saying something like yo telamon i got 10000000 KOs today in your sword place. c ya.... Thats not really... well ya...
