BlameThePixel!

It's time for some more olympics, don't you think?

You know the drill! Worm Olympics is a large collection of tourneys to be hosted in a very short time during [b]July[/b] and [b]August[/b].
Previous editions have been a big success and we hope to make this one just as successful or (dare I say it?) even more successful!

Tourneys of any scheme are accepted! Just don't bother informing us if someone else has to host them for you :wink:

The old Olympics site is still up, but it will be updated as soon as possible.
You can send me a PM here, message me on msn/aim/icq or mIRC (I'm in #worms and #fb, PMs beep me and so does writing down DarkOne). Posting in this thread will help too
When signing up a tourney, mention the date including time (GMT, please: [url]www.timezoneconverter.com[/url] ) and be sure to upload the scheme you wish to use for that tournament. Also inform us how long you think the tourney will last. Note: it's not a problem if the tourney doesn't last as long as you think. But if the tourney lasts longer and it interferes with other tourneys, that'll just be a shame (and it's how one tourney never got played!)

Note to the people hosting the tourneys.
When taking signups, be sure to ask for the [b]clan[/b] and [b]country[/b] of each player.
Player names should not include a tag and the players are asked to use [b]one nickname[/b] during the worm olympics.
It's fine by me if you use an alias during a tourney, as long as the moderator knows who you really and has your true name is in the results.

Results of tourneys will [b]NOT[/b] be posted if the results are not complete. Even if one match result is unknown, the tourney will not be posted and no medals will be handed out.
If there are 4 people in the semi finals, the losers of the semis will have to play each other for the bronze medal.

Moderators are free to handle an odd amount of players in whatever way they choose, as long as there is no more than 1 freebie in each round.

If there are any more questions, feel free to ask them

a small note: does the GMT you account for the daylight savings? Current UK time is GMT+1 (BST)

There is only one GMT and it doesn't jump around for daylight savings. People just have to be aware that their offset from GMT changes when they put their own clocks forward or back for daylight savings.

yes, but that assumes everyone is using the correct GMT, and not just subtracting their standard timezone offset from the current time

This is exactly why I added www.timezoneconverter.com into my post, ReadMe. So everybody can see exactly what time GMT is in their time zone.

First tourney: Team17 (the scheme used on fb: http://www.laene.nl/fb/ )
hosted by Cheese on the 2nd of July at 7pm GMT
estimated length: 4 hours

Since the site is not yet up and we're not sure about how to go about with replays on the site, I think it's best if you upload your replay(s) to sites like http://xnr.be and post a link in one of the WO threads

this saturday (7th of July): hosted by Wyvern and myself. Hysteria.
Scheme: [url]http://files.xnr.be/bb2785e3a9e6e959b97335e12c30d457.wsc[/url]

Since I'm going on vacation next Tuesday, I won't be updating all these thread.
Instead, I'm going to use the T17 forums as a central place for announcing and such:
