How To Run Madden 11 Tournaments For Friends

Madden NFL is a very popular outfit in the gaming arena. Every time a new version is announced, its thousands of fans wait with bated breath for its release. Its popularity is unmatched, be it in the Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo or PC mediums. Madden 11 tournaments are held every year amid enthusiastic participation from fans all over. To host one of them, these are the things you have to consider.

Few events offer prizes and rewards to the winner but others are just played for the glory. To host an event for friends, you should probably decide if there is going to be a reward and hence, a participating fee. The events hosted on television offer lump sums of cash as rewards. Only the best players take part in these.

Any competition is credible only if fairness is assured in the proceedings and the selection of the winner. There is not a set a of standardized rules that have to be adhered to. However, most of these events follow more or less the same basic rules. If you are hosting a competition, ensure that it is fair and that all the players stick to the common rules. One of the main rules is that on no account is a player supposed to bring his own console or controller. This is ensured so that tampering can be eliminated and all the players can start off on a level playing field. If there are any hints of tampering, either with software or hardware, you should immediately report it to the referee and punish the player. In such cases, the player is usually booted off the event. Every competition must have a referee to judge in case of disputes. They have a range of duties to fulfill. Not only do they have to supervise game play, being alert to note any attempts at foul play but they also have to ensure the tournament proceeds in a fair manner. They are responsible to ensure good conduct of all the players and also to enforce dress code.

The referee holds the power to rule on the appropriate moment to pause the play. They should have excellent technical knowledge to spot any tampering or attempts at tampering. Sometimes, the glitches in the game may give some players undue advantage over others. The referee should be able to recognize this and put a stop to this.

No vulgarity is tolerated and any attempts to abuse the referee either physically or verbally are grounds to disqualify the player. During play, player is forbidden from interacting with the audience. No usage of headsets is allowed. Damaging equipment is also considered grounds for punishment. Before game play begins, ensure all your players are aware of the rules.

No attempts to fix the outcome of a game are tolerated. Any player attempting this has to be ousted. Depending on the magnitude of the event, other rules can be incorporated, as per the requirements. Madden 11 tournaments guidelines for online events vary from live events. The time period of play, difficulty level and game speed also has to be decided upon. Some of these factors also depend on how many players are participating.
