Match 3: Picard v. Aviator; Picard winning in 6-2 in overtime. Details below.
Within the twisting, turning pipes of Flyclub's XORB Raceway, Picard and Aviator fought a five-minute battle ending with a tie of 2-2. After a 2nd two-minute tiebreaker (The first ending due to network hiccup), Picard pulled ahead, 6-2. Aviator did score one point directly after time was called, keeping it from being counted. Picard will go on to battle the winner of the Mr_Mars v. KAWASAKI match.
AppleSky here, and I'd like to thank everyone for their cooperation thus far in the 1st ever Martian Open Dogfighters Tourney. Registration is closed, and below you can find the official tourney brackets, with player names inserted. If you have not already told us what times and days (with time zone) you can participate, we need you to do so quickly. Once we get times for the contestant pairs, we'll work on setting up a match time for that pair.
(Sorry about the poor state of the Tourney Brackets below. We're working to improve them for later use.)
A copy of the rules can be found here. NOTE: If you have difficultly viewing the rules, send me a PM, and I'll get you a copy of the rules.
****************************************************************************
If you have any questions, PM either KingDvo, PointyBagels, or myself, and we'll get back with you as soon as possible.

Yes, we agree with that point, but were unsure with how to correctly state it. Thanks for the help!

I'd like to point out something App forgot to mention in the rules.
The Ref will count down when to go, and both players must be in the air before any lasers are fired to be fair.
Hope that clears some things up!

(In Reply to Item) For only using buggys, have one or two referees start the game and turn off all other vehicles before others join. You should allow some beforegame referee time to perfect physics settings. Also, maybe referees could be allowed to use other vehicles if it is their preference because they are not fighting. You should ask Aubrey to make a new game mode like this.

Only 4 maybe 5 people will be in the server.
One Ref,
(Two?) Camera Men
Two contestants.
Physics will be the default settings, so thats cleared away.
There is a game mode like this,
It's called Marsxplr, where you can dogfight your heart out!
The competition is just something fun we're all taking part in!

(In Reply to Item) I have a question about settings.
Instead of default, can it be default plus powered loops and maybe laser speed up?

I don't like that Dvo, and I'll give my reason as to why.
When I think of a Dogfight, I think more of a power fight, beads of sweat dripping from each players face, eyes straining, buggies struggling! In other words, a Dogfight is what it is, a tough, demanding, challenging, and rewarding laser tag battle.
Thats just my opinion, it's really up to the organizers.

(In Reply to Item) Greetings aerial warriors! I would like to let you all know that I'm extremely excited about this ongoing event and honored that my name is mentioned on the same page as these many fine dogfighters. As much as I relish any opportunity to participate in aerial combat with skilled and cunning opponents, my ability to meet any sort of schedule requirements are severely limited at this time. My hope is that the games will be intense, fair and entertaining for those participating and for those spectating. Know this, if nothing else, the word "competition", if traced to it's root comes from "competent".
In recent months, there has been much attention paid to world creation as the major, positive thrust for Mars Explorer and duly so. I am in awe of what has come from it and how people's imagination and determination has resulted in almost endless challenging and beautiful places to play our game. Let's face it though, Mars Explorer was designed with vehicular combat in mind and the game deserves to be played and played with all one can muster! Otherwise, all the wonderful maps and incredible vehicles are not used to their full potential but simply cruised casually to escape boredom or as a pleasant backdrop for chat.
Here me when I say, aerial dogfighting deserves the attention that this contest brings as dogfighting builds so much more than the ability to "pwn" or to earn a reputation. Dogfighting builds skill, hand-eye coordination, determination and mental focus. Dogfighting can provide indescribable satisfaction from a battle, well fought, be it win or not! These attributes can be utilized in most all other aspects of life if one chooses to embrace them.
Behold! cheezburger bravely bloodying Seb's knee caps when one might assume a darker fate for the one named after such a common but delicious food product! In my recent server surfing, I have definitely noticed an increased sharpness of several players that are usually known for more casual laser fighting.
Go forth, ye and do your worst damage knowing that your opponent will surely do theirs!

(In Reply to Item) With the newfound publicity of dogfighting, and so many people excited about this tourney, the next tourney (Which I plan on hosting in around 2 months) might very well have spots for 32 Martians.
