Changes may include:

Free Lap Dances – Free Cigars – Free Jello Shots – Free Tournaments

First of all a fully integrated membership system needs to be in place before I can charge people for tournament entry and they feel comfortable doing so. Secondly the two BETA tournaments taught us a lot about the structure of the tournaments themselves. Nothing major from what you saw if you joined in either tournament, everything went pretty good and will remain unchanged.

As such, a longer break period will be in effect while I work on Part 2 of the WarCon Saga and construct the membership system. The tournaments so far have been mostly friends of mine and their friends.. I probably will be doing more BETA tournaments while working on those two things. If you want in, subscribe to the RSS Feed and whenever I plan on doing them I will still post them on the site as before. Just may be a few weeks before the next one so checking everyday might get depressing.

Don’t worry this needs to happen so the people who are new have a genuine experience they won’t forget and have no doubts in their mind they will be in the next tournament.

Also the desktop computer that hosts the Live Game Feed is down due to viruses. It will take a week or two to get it fixed so the live feed won’t be available until then.

Feel free to post comments with questions or concerns about anything on the site.

It is a five part saga with part one already published. Eventually it will be refined and expanded on to turn into a complete sci-fi novel.

Helium-3 is mined from the moon and becomes vital in ensuring our future energy needs. We turn Mars into our sister blue planet only to start a war that breaks out into a nuclear holocaust.  China vs Russia.. who will win? Does the United States military get evolved?

Only 6 including myself joined in the tournament, none-the-less, it was still lots of fun. 6 player FFA elimination, normal settings, small to medium maps, 5 minute time limit per game. Again, the host connection was flawless with most everyone at full bars. After each game the last player was out of the tournament but still played in the game. Until the last two were it dropped to a 1v1 on Rust.

Something I forgot to mention is you are still playing for most kills, assists and least deaths for the overall tournament. Even if your out the first round you can still win the rest and receive the medal for most kills or least deaths, earning you Kaos points. As always, the more Kaos points the lower the entry fee when CASH payout tournaments start (Date TBD.. Aprilish now).

The winner was Post x Mordem, congratulations!

Tonight (Saturday, December 19) at 9pm we will be doing the first Modern Warfare 2 BETA tournament. There will be no tournament fee or cash payouts but you will still earn Kaos points, rank,  ribbons and war medals.

If you are interested in having some fun and testing your skills send a friend request to KaosAdmin and be online at 9pm EST.

We had our first BETA tournament and it went very well! 10 players elimination, FFA Halo 3, MLG settings and maps. Still some kinks to work out but nothing out of the ordinary. Host connection was outstanding with everyone in the green.

The winner was PepsaY, congratulations!

BETA testing will take place for the month of December with cash payout tournaments starting January 2nd, 2010.  Click the links below to the games or game you play.

Changes made since the store hosted tournaments:

Cash Payouts Increased

Since we do not charge spectators and are currently seeking sponsors our cash payouts are solely derived from the entry fees.

The old store tournament payouts:
60% Host/40% 1st Place Winner.

The new online tournament payouts:
50% 1st Place Winner/
25% 2nd Place Winner/25% Host.

Entry Fee Decreased

The tournament store had a $10 entry fee or you could go for memberships that had monthly fees but decreased your entry. Silver was $25/Mnth Re-Occurring on a debit/credit card or $35 one time cash payment and entry fee was $5. Gold was $50/Mnth Re-Occuring on a debit/credit card or $60 one time cash payment and entry was $2. There were no chances for free entry and my previous business partners wanted to get rid of the cash payouts.. Insane right.

The tournaments online use the Entry Pay Grade Levels described on our Leaderboard you work your way from $8 entry starting out to $6, then $3 and finally to no entry fee. There are no confusing costly memberships or re-occurring monthly fees our membership is free. As of now we are still working on the membership system itself for the website.

Free Entry

Using the Kaos Ranking System players who are lieutenant general and above have no entry fee into the cash payout tournaments.

Live Tournament Video Feed

Bigger tournament websites don’t have the time or the resources to organize video feeds spectating the tournaments in game while their happening. We will have designated Referees on each team monitoring cheating and player skills. While the Ref is watching a real-time web feed from their point of view is visible in HQ streaming FLV. Watch your favorite team or analyze your opponents tactics LIVE while its taking place without actually being in the game.

If your thinking, “I’ll be able to watch the feed while I’m playing and basically ’screen watch’ my opponent.” Good Luck, no matter what connection you might have there will be at least a 4 second delay. Trying to analyze and predict the 4 seconds will only slow you down and get you killed.

Play Comfortably

You don’t have to worry about the pressure and anxiety of being at a big event with crowds over your shoulder throwing off your game. Play in your PJ’s with a cold beer on your favorite couch. You can use your screen, your controller, all your game settings and personal gamertag.

Ribbons & War Medals

When players pass recruitment and become NCO’s they can earn ribbons and war medals for achievements and recognition. They are given out for completing task such as most kills in a game, player of the year and highest kill/death ratio in an overall tournament. These ribbons and medals earn Kaos points that work you towards free entry to cash payout tournaments.

Check out our Leaderboard for more info

Team Kaos (TK)

Team Kaos (TK) consists of all the members of our house teams and our staff. To be considered for TK you need to get in contact with Andy or another staff member and have a resume with game and event background information handy.

Points Only Tournaments

There will be tournaments scheduled from time to time that are free but will have no cash payouts. Instead only Kaos Points, Ribbons and War Medals can be obtained. All of which increase your Kaos points moving your rank and Entry Pay Grade Level up reducing your entry fees into the tournaments that do pay out.

Tournament Schedule Changes

Our store had many different games on the schedule. We were able to do that because players were at location and we could watch and monitor everything that was going on. Our online tournaments require that we be host and spectate through XBOX Live or Playstation Network.This reduced the amount of games we could run tournaments with to games that have a spectator mode.

In First Person Shooters like Halo 3 and Gears of War 2 we have to actually have a member of staff on each team as a referee spectating for cheaters and fowl play. Modern Warfare 2 has a spectator mode.

Fighters simply need spectator mode period to be able to monitor the outcome. We can’t rely on the players to report honest standings. This reduced us to the three; BlazBlue, SUPER Street Fighter II: Turbo HD Remix and Marvel vs Capcom 2. Which all have spectator modes.
