Dont worry all the rounds will be easily identified on the web page I am making.
If you have any questions before a game, post them here and during the week, it should be answered the same day.
After all, this is a Noob tourney so I don't expect everyone to understand the first time!  j/k LOL

I just want to make sure I don't miss anything if you know what I mean. I also don't want to let people down by screwing up the rounds.
well I can't see how you could screw up the rounds... it's for fun so we'll be able to set games up and (like angelito said) we can always save and go at it again...
Conan... I'm assuming you want to look after the noob tourney side of the web site... I'd like to take care of the 2vs 2...
Pandora.. I'd really like to learn how to set up a tourney on line so if you're available and have the time and patience... I'm game (get it??? game) LOL

Jebus, it's a deal. I've got the Noob tourney and you have the mighty alliance.
I'm sure Pandora will be able to teach us both.

Hmm, I have access to upload to a friend's webspace, but it's not something I can give out :S I would probably recommend a free webspace provider then if you are making the page and updating it yourself anyways, my help is probably not required 
You're both Canadians eh? contact your ISP's I bet you have access to personal webspace and you don't even realize it hehe
I'm not really sure what help you would want from me I ran the Bastard Tourney for a few years , had a period of offline time that ultimate killed it) but that was very successful - and fun!
I would be happy to help with whatever you need still, I'm just not sure what capacity you need help in.
By the way the Bastard Tourney was named that way because it started as a small thing between some friends and we always referred to each other as Bastard, the friendly greeting was "Hey ya Bastard!" So it seemed it was the only name we could give the tourney  The whole idea really was to have a fun tournament where we all knew each other and trusted each other - but we still had a points system and titles to make the gaming more interesting. Tho, we weren't so serious there either
**edited** removed image to satisfy some member's complaints. I'm sorry.
But anyways, take a look through the site, its quite dead now but maybe it will give you some ideas? Feel free to ask me any questions,I'm happy to help!

thanks Pandora.
I've created a site before on angelfire, maybe 6 years back but nothing as complex as you...
I do have webspace on my ISP provider. I'll try it out there.
We'll take it one day at a time.
For now, I'll wait t'ill we have enough players and post all the updates and rounds here (brackets style)
take care,
C.

I like it to see some enthusiasm coming over here.
And it seems like more and more newbies want such tourneys and canīt even await the start of it...
But like all things where many people participate, it needs some kind of organization, which seems to happen with these 2 tourneys now.
The idea of having 1 "chairman" for every tourney is a good one, but donīt blame anyone who wants to help and wants to get these started as soon as possible. Take all help u can get, coz when the enthusiasm curves down a bit one time, there will be others who can lend a helping hand...
Letīs get this thing started..

I'm having some serious difficulties with my game right now... I won't get completely into the details, but basicly the setup at my school is making it really hard for me. Everyday time I reboot I'll have to reinstall. Somebody give me a hand please or else I may have to back down (I really don't want to). If anybody know a way around this...

well, you'll have to be more specific, but I think that every time a programm is installed in school computers, it is automatically deleted when the user goes offline.
I don't think there is anything you can do, unless you hack the system, but I aint much of a hacker....

can you not install it on your account...
example: where I work each employee has their own drive... you can store private stuff here and it can be accessed from any computer when we log on with our own login... do you have a student login... if so do you have your own drive??
(I'm not a tecky either but wondering)

I almost had the impression these games were not TOH. But I can sign up for TOH, that's no problem.
If you're trying to determine if I'm really a noob, all you can do is take my word for it. But basically, I've never played any MP game ever.
Which brings me to a suggestion. Prior to the start of the tourney, it might not be a bad idea for everyone who hasn't done it, to play a short online game first. It wouldn't have to be an entire game, even as few as a couple turns on a small map. This way people can work out problems signing into the zone, problems getting the game to run, etc. It also gives the person some idea what to expect playing the game itself. Like I've done a lot of HOMM testing playing hotseat. I assume online MP is similar....the screen goes black between turns, a sign pops up telling you it's your turn, etc. If turns are timed, does the clock start when you hit OK to the "your turn" window? What happens when the time runs out? Does it just stop or what?
Edit: BTW I'm same time zone as you -5GMT. Also the same suggestion as above for the 2v2 tourney. I don't want to be cross posting.

No this is not part of ToH, the ToH handle was to figure out if you really are a Noob. Since you havent registered and never played online, you qualify for sure!!! congrats.
For your suggestion, I can simply hook-up with you any time and show you how it's done. I wouldn't mind helping a fellow noob before the tourney begins.
Let me know and thanks for joining.

when the time runs out it says exactly that... then you can't do anything more and have to click ok to end your turn... I think most of us are pretty cool about this type of thing... I myself have had alot on online issues... most of the time we can just set it up tcp/ip ... the zone is just a good meeting spot....
For the toh and ww thing, I believe (Conan correct me if I'm wrong) it was to check up on you.... LOL
(sorry Conan... we were typing at the same time ...)
