Area 85 MF tournament 2009

Description :
OK it is again time for some fun. Another autumn came I think it is time to do somethink with grail status table for several players.
Still without tyreal I am looking around for some good places how to find somethink.
So all of you you can join the fun and keep your MF quality on top level with another strong MFer playing vs stopwatch.

here is link for last year tournament :
sign up and progress
results


Rules
1) Running lvl 85 areas . Difference between other tournament is that you are not restricted by number of runs but by running time which is 20 hours.
2) You must run all the time with single char. (you can have more chars in tournament but you have 20 hours for every char).
3) SC/HC is allowed and the same with RRM/RWM mods.
4) You can use every players setting.
5) Drops counted to final score can be only from monsters in area. Drops from chests are not counted.
6) Start of the tournament will be 28th september 0:00 CET and end of the tournament will be 18th october 23:59 CET
7) Score will be based on MFO scoring system from area lvl 85 lvl 85 Areas (I used score sheet from jjscud thread).
8) End of sign up will be on tournament start but players which just have some char signed in tourney, can enter with another chars even during tournament. (But if you will send me PM that you want sign in even after tournament will start I probably will say "OK no problem" but not do it without send me PM )
9) Winner will be runner with best score of his top 5 items.
10) I will try make some prizes for top 3 runners but I prefer system without pick up of items because some players are selfound and some players have fear from loosing their grailers.
11) Each player after he will finish with his runs must send me his top5 scorelist and after end of the tournament I will post result table.
My email is mario(dot)babunek(at)seznam(dot)cz
12) If I forgot some rules let me know and I can edit it.



Here is a list of lvl 85 areas: The Mausoleum, The Pit, Maggot Lair lvl 3, Ancient Tunnels, Kurast Sewers lvl 2, Forgotten Temple, Ruined Fane, Disused Reliquary, River of Flame, Chaos Sanctuary (not including seal boss packs and Diablo), Worldstone Keep, Throne of Destruction (not including minion waves))


Here you can find some stopwatch programs for better system of time running whitch I used from jjscud MF pentathlon
Super Simple Stopwatch (free).
Stopwatch with save session feature (free).
Stopwatch with save session feature (shareware).

Or you can use classic SIlo´s run counter whitch you can probybly found in stickies and is very good choice.

I want to thank again jjscud for some references which I used here from his tournaments.

I've been waiting for this one, Bass, thanks :thumbup:

Well, before one week i could be in with three characters, now they are just two (my hammerdin died)...

Anyway, its chance for Grom to reach lvl 95 in Pits and at the same time chance for Ariadna to try out AT runs finally!And hopefully chance to find some grailers aswell :scratchchin:

GL to all runners, especially to all czech competitors :thumbup:

That's like an hour a day? I guess I can do that.

Hmm, it's been a while since I've been to the Ancient Tunnels... :scratchchin:

Bassano, you just forced one lurker to crawl out of his lair:wink:

I am currently working on a new area runner - maybe I'll add him, if I have enough time for two chars.

I'm in. Trying to go with two chars if I have the time, I just have to think what to throw on for the blizzy.
 
Re: Area 85 MF tournament 2009

Hell yes. I had a pretty awesome run last year, so I gotta see if I can defend my #2 position. I've got about the same amount of MF as before but a lot more safety, so I should get at least 50% more runs in.

Look out, world: TheReadMenace is here! :crazyeyes:

Same here as most in that I'm going to be working on a new area runner between now and then. If I progress enough, it might get added.

I never did enough runs with my FN sorc to really get a good feel for her yet - this is a good excuse. I might also get into it with a Pit runner later, but we'll see how the AT running goes first.

Also, I volunteer to contribute something to the prize-pool. PM me if interested.

I need to level new pvp sorc and this can be good occasion. She can't carry much MF, but still I believe she can be decent. Let's see.

And yes, I need some update in Grail status table :yes:.

I am entering with the first of my new pit runners. I may swap out for another, but that character is only going to be started tomorrow :thumbsup:.

A couple of questions though:

Do I need to have a trader profile for this tournament (in case I actually win something I give up the prize to the next one below me)?
May I change the amount of MF on my character during the tournament (I get a better pair of wartravs for example) or only until the beginning of the tournament? Same for player settings.

That'll be all I think.

Good luck everyone. :)

It's hard to avoid changing your MF during the course of running sometimes, especially if you're using a lower level character and have a Skullder's equipped.

Basically, this kind of tournament is only about the items that you can obtain; the details are pretty minimal. There were some people last year that changed their /p settings freely. It might be best for you to decide early by doing a few test runs before the tournament begins, but I believe you're free to do as you wish. Maybe you could read the '08 tourney that was linked in the original post just to get a feel for how it all played out.

...bassano will have to rule on it, though, since he's the director. :wink:

Count me in. Just built a new sorc the other day, Blizzard + Fire Wall, and she's seemed pretty great so far, level 77 now I think. Pretty sure I'll have her near 90 before the start of the tournament.
