[EVENT] Rust Gladiators

[RustGladiator]

The Idea

So I'm aware that many servers already offer an arena death-match environment, however, I was wondering if any would like a weekly large PVP tournament consisting of various modes and weapons that ideally would be rotated each week. I'd be fine in donating a little bit to have some sort of prize pool weekly or a large pool as part of a larger tournament. To guage interest I'd appreciate as many as possible filling out this simple GoogleDoc [url]https://docs.google.com/forms/d/125Lh3vhJC_U6EaTxsp8PZ-rSbxAMwZCJULAb1eMVgb4/viewform[/url]
If you're still with me here I'll start to go into the specifics of what I had in mind.

The How
During the week my group would begin or upgrade a large Colosseum on an unannounced server that would be at least a little different each week. Signups for the week would begin on Monday/Tuesday and last up until Friday to give a good guage of how many would be attending. On Saturday the server IP would be announced in the RustGladiators steam group([url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/RustGladiators[/url]) around 1h30 to 1h before the start of the match to limit preparation time for any raiders. From that point all spectators would be spawned outside in gradually from bags and would be de-rocked at the door to prevent crowd riots. Competitors would be free until they were called on to spawn in a sleeping bag in an arena ready room. They would then use whatever was distributed into the chest and then exit and try to kill the other man. If successful they would give their weapons to the referees to allow the arena to be reset quickly, and be sent to wait in the stands for the next round.

This Week
To start off this week, I'd like to keep it simple, with either a 16 man or 32 man 1 v 1 duel tournament. Each round Ro16,Ro8 etc.. would feature a different weapon(s). At the end the winner of the tournament would either receive a small prize or be entered into the Champions tournament. (Most likely small cash sum, or steam games)

Involvement
If you would like to compete in this weeks tournament. Please do all of the following.

1. Add RustGladiators ([url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/RustGladiators[/url]) on Steam to enable Sleeping bag transference

2. Join the SteamGroup([url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/RustGladiators[/url]) to receive alerts about start times and what server the game would take place on.

3. Refrain from any Steam name changes to avoid confusion
That's it. If there is enough interest for this event I plan on continuing it for at least the following 8 weeks. Thanks for taking the time to read this wall of text.
