4th March LAN Review and results

4th of March LAN saw a good turn out of regulars with 2 new people and a couple of occassional visitors. Good to see you all there!

The action kicked off fast and furious with the First Top Gun event of the year. Unfortunately the server crashed about 16 minutes into a 20 minute match. We have used these scores anyway as with the new percentage based scoring system it doesn't matter. Thanks to Nightshade for giving me the idea on how to make this work.

Without Wayne to run the RAW WAR (he was in Japan) I was a little worried it might not go too smoothly. However my fears were unrealised and it seemed all had a great time. We had screen dumps (or scores recorded) for every game except the last race of V8's so we used the first 8 only here.
Powerslide guys need to remember to take sccreen dumps after every race not just at the end. We were able to work out the results however. Likewise DOTA and Generals players please give us your actual scores and ranking next time not just who won.

One point to remember is the way the scores are worked for all the RAW WAR Games. Rather than record the score we record the ranks. That is if there are 5 players in a server and you win you get 5 points. If there are only 2 players you only get 2 points. If there are 12 then you get 12. So it generally pays to play in a server with the most people in it as this is more likely to get you more points.

Finally for both Top Gun and RAW WAR the scores are going to be recorded for the entire year, but only the top 4 results for each player in each genre will be averaged to see who is the winner.

I have attached the results for Top Gun and the RAW WAR events for March as PDF files. Click the header to see them.

Tell us what you thought about the LAN. How can we improve it?
