ESWC Finals - Maxrounds 15

Posted by Myers at 15:02 14/4/2003.

In some rather baffling news, or the beginning of a mini-cs rules revolution, the Esports World Cup Committee have decided to change the finals event in France from the 8th - 13th July to maxrounds 15. Here's the statement

The ES World Cup rules committee decided today to use maxround 15 (MR15) for the final event in France the 8-13 july.

This decision is only valid for the final event. The qualifier tournaments will stay in maxrounds 12. The various tournament rules will be available in a few days.

pff, prefer mr12 personally, pistols play a big part that should stay and mr15 takes too long ;/ [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I people wonder why gaming will never really be viewed as a sport.

No governing body, no 'official' rules. That gamespy guy was right. Everything is just all over the place... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

In Rugby there are 2 different sets of rules, or a lot more if u consider american football, australian rugby etc...

Basically whoever has the most money will be able to set up the rules in gaming

Anyone know who created the rules for football?...Cambridge University... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i reckon from a spectator point of view its better

i dont think as many people would watch a football match if it was only 45mins long.

however, if its a really boring game then it will turn spectators off the idea [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

imo they could do it like with snooker tournaments, MR7 for the first 2 rounds, then MR 12, then MR 15 for the quarters and semis, then MR 20 for the final.

btw I'm taking the p*** ;) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

"Anyone know who created the rules for football?...Cambridge University..."

Not quite, lots of the public schools had their own seperate rules and even basic things such as size of pitch, dimensions of ball, whether you could catch the ball or not were different between organisations (three major ones Uppington, Cambridge/public schools, Sheffield and the FA). The most important rules were those of Sheffield (the first football club), who borrowed from all rules and laid down their own.

They merged with the Football Association and created "Association Football" which is the same football played all around the world, and is due very little to Cambridge's involvement. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i think some 1 shud b the governing body over cs tho, will b a huge step into making it a 'sport' and will encourage sponsers, but can just say, wot is wrong with mr14 or mr13 =x ? ( i admit 13 is unluky but 14 wud own 15) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Was Sheffield Hallam Football club, I know this for a fact as its about 5 mins walk from me and every time I walk or drive past it the big sign says to me "Hallam Football Club - the oldest football club in the world"

So believe it or not Nick is right.
