Since half a year we experience always a critical error when the rounds end in the tournament mode. When we play scrims we always have to setup 13 rounds so it doesnt crash. When we setup 12 rounds, right after the last round the game crashes for everyone.
Is it fixable? Later I can post the exact message the crash log says.

And also it is when one team does objective the other team sees a message like "Reason: Objective hack" or something like that. It would be better if there was a message like "Objective has been made". And not including the word Hack

We didnt care about those crashes and messages before, but with the cup coming we would like to have it flawless. Thanks guys.

Can this thread be moved somewhere where only Admins of Assist and KARI-30 and [HT]-d0n-@-KeIIo- have read / write permission ?



Hello Admins,
as some of you for sure know me and HT-Kello are organising a new competition website. We plan on having cups regularly and a all year ladder running. Like one week fast cups with only one map and cups with maps choose. We are hoping our website would be the official competition provider for AAO 2.5 Assist. The design of the website is still being updated and should be ready in the next few days, but the features (ladders, cup modules) are to this point fully functional. We are using the Webspell 4 system. We try to run the competitions as fair as possible. This project started to spark a new wave of competition players to return to AAO or new players to enjoy the fun with competitions. Any of you admins are more than welcome to help us or superwise us so it is clear that we run it in the best way possible. We have already talked a bit with Sergio but I think this is a better way to let other admins know what is going on and to hear their opinion.

(It is still possible to change the domain name)



Questions from our side:

1) Could our competition website be the official competition provider for Assist ?

2) Is it possible to have a button up on the assist site somewhere in between "Home", "Info", "Media", "Forum" Which would say just "Competition" and would link to our site? We have it the same way on our site linking to assist.

3) Could KARI-30 receive moderator permission so I could write news about the Competition community on the Homepage of assist?

4) Question to Johnny (i think). Could it be possible to write a little script that would check regularly who is in the ladder on the 1st place and the players of the team would automaticly get a new army icon that would say something like "Ladder 1st Place". Writing a script would make it check the 1st place automaticly and no of the admins had to worry about it further. Players who would see other wearing that icon could be motivated to also participate in the competition scene.


Please post your comments, sugestions and question. Thank you very much.

AAO25CUP RULES:

1) All teams from all over the world are welcome to participate in the AAO25CUP, however the cup staff reserves the right to remove any clan from the tournament if it violates cup rules. The whole tournament is going to be played with 4 players each side. (4vs4)

2) Cup staff also reserves the right to remove any player from the tournament who is violating rules or has recent unclean gaming history. If the team does not accept the removal of the player of the team, it will result in removing the whole team from the tournament.

3) It is forbidden to use any 3rd party applications and in-game hacks during a match that are not allowed from AAO25 admins. Teamspeak viewer is allowed to be used ingame.

4) Bugusing of any kind is strictly forbidden. For example jumping on the roof of the West objective building on Urban Assault. Doing so will result in a warning or may lead a to direct loss of the round. Pronebugging also isn't allowed. (Meaning shoot and go prone at same time.) If you are uncertain if it is counted as bug or not, simply don't use it. Fast weapon swap is allowed.

5) There may be a cup staff member observing the match as "AdminConsole" in case there are indications of rules violations. Both teams will be informed before the match who and why is watching the game. Any team may request a cup admin to observe the match if they have feelings that the opposing team is violating rules or intending to do so.

6) It is up to the teams to decide on which server the match is going to be played. If there is not an agreement, the match will be played on a server located in Europe. You may ask the cup staff to prepare an official cup server for the match. The server is located in Central Europe, with low pings and minor lags.

7) Before a match the two teams need to select their maps from the maplist and the overtime map. Each team eliminates 5 maps from the mappool. Home team starts eliminating 1st map, Away team eliminates 2nd map, Home team 3rd, Away team 4th and so on until 10 maps are scratched from the list. After the 10th map is eliminated the Home team picks a map as his map of choice. Then the Away Team picks his map. (Can be the same like the home teams)

8) The overtime map is being selected in the same way, only there are going to be only 4 maps eliminated from the maplist. The Home team starts eliminating the 1st map, then the Away team eliminates the 2nd map. Home team then eliminates the 3rd map and the Away team eliminates the 4th map. The last map that wasn't scratched is the overtime map to be played in case of a draw after the first two maps.

9) It is possible that one map can be played 2 or even 3 times.

10) The home team's map will be played first. The away’s team map starts immediately after the first map is completed. To win a match you have to win 2 maps. Winning 7 rounds on the map automatically wins you the map. It is mandatory to finish all rounds. But may be discarded if there is time pressure, that depends on both teams agreement. If the situation occurs where one map has been finished with the result 6:6, the map will be counted as tie and teams proceed to the 2nd map. If there is a tie also after in the 2nd map 6:6 the overtime map will follow with the rules described below.

11) If there is a tie after the 2 maps, an overtime map is played. The same rules apply for the overtime map. 7 rounds win the map. If there is a tie 6:6 the game continues as long as one team has one 2 rounds in a row for example: 8:6, 10:8 and so on. After the 6:6 state the server needs to be reconfigured so the "Swap Sides Every: 1 round" is enabled. This makes sure the teams change sides after 1 round. So one team plays 1 round Assault, 1 round Defense. Not playing 2 Defense rounds in a row. If the the result is still at 10:10, the match needs to be reseted and goes on until a team wins 2 rounds in a row. It is recommended to setup "Rounds Per Match: 20 rounds" so there are no more delays.

12) All players of all teams have to type "demorec" in console in the planning round before every match. That way the admins can demand the demorec file in case there has been a complaint about rules violation. The team must provide the demanded demorec files to the cup staff.

13) In case of a "Spawn bug" (meaning a player of a team did not spawn / start a round) the round must be immediately discarded by both team captains. In case the team captain of the team who didn't have the spawn bug doesnt discard the round, the round won’t be counted.

14) A team captain cannot ask for a discard after the 1st death of the round has happened. That applies also if a player has a critical error during the round and someone has already been killed. If someone has critical error before someone got killed it is possible to discard the round.

15) On a map where there are multiple objectives and both teams can secure them for example Urban Assault and MOUT McKenna. If one teams has secured 2 objectives and the other teams has secured only 1 objective, the team with 2 objectives wins at the end of the round. Same when one team has 1 and the other 0. Simply the team who has secured more objectives than the other wins the round when the round is over. If the teams have secured the same number of objectives at the end of the round, the round is considered a tie.
