Then a series of duels will take place (Guild 1’s first vs. guild 2’s first, and so on) It will be a best of 5 series so first to 3 wins will win the match. This will be a single elimination style tournament until the final four. There is a pre-established boundary that can be crossed accidentally or if pushed out, however blatantly running out of it will result in a DQ.
Points are awarded as follows: 1st – 6pts, 2nd – 4pts, 3rd 2pts, 4th 1pt.

Here are some further details:

What is Guild Games?
Guild Games is an Olympic style event between participating guilds. Guilds compete in events for points which at the end determine who wins.

How many guilds participate?
8 – 16

Do the same people have to participate in an event once they start it?
Yes, before each event competitors must be named. Once they compete, they have to be the one finishing the event. If they are unable to complete the event your guild will forfeit that match-up.

How will Duels happen?
I will make a custom server in the sPvP. There rules will be established to ensure duels can take place.

How will you pair people up for the dueling tournaments?
Tournament seeding will be based off the rankings at the start of the event.

Will there be a prize for winning?
At this point, no. Just bragging rights. Without having a guild hall that can be decorated, there is no way to give a trophy of any sort.

This is an event I ran back in another MMO for a few years and bringing it to this game. I am looking for 16 guilds to compete and will accept more than that as fill-ins incase someone doesn’t show or will expand to 32 guilds if we have enough interest.
I currently have [SD] from Ehmry Bay, [ARMY], [ECHO], [LAWL], [PACT], [PS] and [vVv] from Fort Aspenwood , and [MCG] from Sanctum of Rall signed up. If you would like to have your guild sign up please respond to this post.

If you have questions feel free to ask.

Hello Crafe, this is an event on US servers though? EU and US servers can’t guest.

That’s a shame. :-/

I remember Crafe’s events from SWG, a lot of players participated and had a lot of fun.

Good luck with your event, Crafe!

Thanks Caer, it is too bad SEA won’t be able to make it since EU can’t guest on NA servers though :-/

Updated this to show that events will be held on the Fort Aspenwood server which is a North American server.

Updated a rule to the races stating that no teleportation is allowed. This includes spells, abilities that jump you ahead, and waypoints.

Updated a rule in the pvp events regarding boundaries.

Updated: Added a new racing event “Ebonhawke Hill Climb”

Hey Crafe,

Excellent event you got going here. Please sign up Solemn Dreams [SD] from Ehmry Bay. We are still working out our roster but we should be able to fill a spot if one is available.

Hey, got you added to the list, I will contact you in game as well.

This will probably round out the list of competitors. Was close to 16 before but a lot of guilds couldn’t get the interest so going to go 8 this time around.

If your guild is interested in being a fill-In in case a guild doesn’t show contact me.

Otherwise I will be running this event again in a few months for the fall. I plan to make that one much bigger.

Crafe,

You have the days and times laid out, but I had a question about the schedule. Are events to be held sequentially or simultaneously? That is will Saturday’s events start and noon and held back to back or all at the same time?

My problem is that we are having trouble getting enough to fill the roster for all events, so I was wondering if I could fill multiple events with the same guildie? Obviously that won’t work if all events are occurring at the same time.

Thanks.

It is 1 event at a time, so you can use the same guildies for diff events

Important Update!!!

I cant edit the main post for some reason and there are 2 events I am trying to add:

EbonHawke Hill Climb (1 Participant from each guild)
Contestants will line up at a pre-determined start point and race up the hill. There will be a banner waiting at the finish line and the first to pick it up wins the race. All races will be in 2 rounds – 4 groups of 4 in the first round with the winners facing each other in the final race. NO TELEPORTING of any kind will be permitted. Speed buffs are fine.
Points are awarded as follows: Make it to the finals 2pts. Win the final 4pts.

This will take place after the Wildspine hill climb on Saturday

Doubles Dueling Tournament (1 Participant from each guild)
Will take place on a private sPvP server. Contestants will stand idle while waiting for their duel. Others can spectate. Duel will start on a countdown from 3 and end when both contestant from one team are dead. There is a pre-established boundary that can be crossed accidentally or if pushed out, however blatantly running out of it will result in a DQ. This event will be in single elimination tournament format until the final 4.
Points are awarded as follows: 1st – 6pts, 2nd – 4pts, 3rd 2pts, 4th 1pt.

This will take place after the Singles dueling tournament on Sunday.

Another Important Update, there will be another event added.

Drinking Tournament
Using the new drinking game with the latest update, there will be a tournament using these tables. Pairings for the tournament will be in reverse order of overall standings.
Points are awarded as follows: 1st – 6pts, 2nd – 4pts, 3rd – 2pts, 4th – 1pt.

This event will be the last event on Saturday.

Day 1 is in the books, thanks to all those who came out.

I wasn’t calculating the points right during the event.. The results that have been posted are corrected and official results.

Day 2, 12PM Pacific time in Divinity’s Reach

Final Results have been updated!!!

Congrats to vVv and thank you to all who participated!!

Crafe can you review the results for Day 2 and the final standings, I think there might be some typos in there.

Day 2 event 1, the champion’s name was right, but the guild attribution is wrong, I think.

The final standings has 3rd place with 18 pts and 4th place with 20 pts. Not sure if the guild names are in the wrong place or what, but if you could review that, I’d be very appreciative.

More than anything I’d like to extend my thanks on behalf of Solemn Dreams [SD] for organizing this whole thing!! We realize this was no easy effort and we had a blast participating. We are excited to hear more about the next Olympics. Maybe ArenaNet would be willing to front some prizes for the next one (hint, hint ArenaNet)?!?!

Thank you so much for organizing this Crafe! I know it must have been a lot of work putting it together but these guys had a blast.

Hahaha, sorry… was on my last brain cells of the night after the 2 day event… I will fix it.
