Update 6/4/14
Hey everyone! I've been keeping an eye out on our numbers for the touranment. We're currently at 37 sign ups at the moment. As unfortunate as it may be, that's not enough to hold one!
Please continue spreading the word about the tourney so we can get to the point where we have enough teams to even hold one!
If there's a way we can get this thread on the front page, that could potentially help boost our numbers.
Thanks to those who have signed up! I am really hoping that this will happen! If worse comes to worse, and we don't have enough numbers but people still want to play, we could potentially hold a tournament on a smaller scale. (I smell a poll incoming..)

TL;DR: GC Squad Tournament is a fun way to get to meet new people and have a good time during the break between campaigns. If you are interested in joining, please Sign up!: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bCfe_O ... =send_form

Alright everyone!
The campaign is over and we are now in the stages of GC where we are in a bit of a hiatus. For those who have been with GC for a few campaigns now, you'll know what I'm about to say... but for those who are new to our beautiful community, let me give you a good rundown of what this is.
The GC Squad Tournament is basically a tournament that takes place in between the breaks we have between campaigns. The idea behind it was to keep people involved within the community during the break and give people something to do on Saturdays.
Our hopes for the tournament is to allow people to get to know one another and gather around for some good ol' fashioned matches! We've had several very close games in the past few tournaments and with our amazing casting team, they're always pretty fun to watch and participate in!
In the past, we've typically done the tournament over the course of one battleday. However, after listening to feedback from our community, I've been considering doing a tournament that lasts over the course of 2-3 battledays.
I'll have a sign up sheet up at the top and bottom of this post so we can see how many people are interested. If there aren't enough people to hold a tournament, it will unfortunately not take place. In the past, we've had up to 12-14 teams playing before! It's a lot of fun and I hope we see a lot of people join!
Now that you have the general idea, let me lay down what this might look like:
1.) The tournament is largely shaped by the community.
- What this means is that you guys have as much of a say as I do in making this tournament happen. In the past, I've posted several polls to get ideas and thoughts on what people wanted to get out of the tournament. It's how we ended up doing a Squad CONQUEST tournament for our latest implementation of this series. Essentially, it is up to you guys to decide how this tournament plays out. Will it be Rush? Conquest? Defuse? It's all up to you!
Keep an eye out for new polls as we get nearer to the tournament date! I'll be asking for input and you will all have a say in how this all goes down. (But.. some things mayyy get overridden...)
2.) Teams may or may not be randomzied.
- This again, depends on you guys. But it is definitely something worth keeping in mind. In the past, we've allowed for people to form their own squads with their group of friends, but the last tournament we had was actually all formed randomly. People would sign up and I would randomly assign them to a certain team. This allowed GC members to meet new players and make new friends as they fought alongside each other toward the grand prize. However, this is subject to change as everyone gives their input and feedback into how they want this tournament to be.
3.) The dates for the tournament.
- This will most likely take place in Mid-Late June/Early July depending on our status on the next GC BF4 Campaign.
4.) Prizes!
- There will be prizes! We've had several GC members donate Steam games to the winners of the tournaments in the past. The winning team gets to select from a pool of games that have been donated!
5.) Have fun.
- The main point of this is to have fun. Don't forget this! We're here to have a good time and not claw each others' throats out.
For those of you who are interested in how this played out previously, check out this thread: http://global-conflict.org/viewtopic.ph ... tournament
It has all the knitty gritty details of what went down!
I'm looking forward to meeting the new folks! Let's get this show on the road! If you have any suggestions on how to make this go down, please comment below!
