Instructions for The Strategy Plus "Am I DOOMed" Tournament
Think you're pretty hot with that rocket launcher, huh bud? Been
toasting all them beasties like they were mere marshmallows at a Boy
Scout overnight? Well, your scouting days are over son. That's right,
you heard me. Pack up the sleeping bag and park yourself in front of
your computer. It's time to play with the big boys now.
Think you can hack it against a real, live opponent? You know,
he's the type that eats, breathes and sleepwalks the corridors of
DOOM just like you do! Well, now's your chance to let your plasma
rifle do your talking and enter the "Am I DOOMed" Tournament. It's
the chance of a lifetime to prove your metal against the best of the
best. Heavy metal dudes are just what we're looking for, ain't that
right guys? Uh, guys? Hey, come on! Whose playing with the light
switches?
The Rules
The tournament rules are simple. The tourney will follow a single
elimination format which means that if you get scorched in your first
match, you're out. Each match will consist of a two out of three head-
to-head contest against a live opponent. Players are randomly placed
on the same level of one of the facilities of the shareware version of
the game and have in their possession all of the colored keys to open
the mechanical doors. Many types of weapons, first aid packs etc. will
be scattered about the level, both obvious and not so apparent. The
competitve mode contains a little twist in that once you pass over an
item, that item stays on the ground and is still available for your
opponent to pick up.
The automap is available to help you in your quest. Keep in mind
that the bad guys are roaming the facilities as well, so if you get
smoked by the nasties before your opponent sears your butt then the
battle is restarted from scratch with all of the accumulated weapons
restocked on the floor.
Each tier of the tournament must be completed within one week of
the match's scheduling (matches will be posted every Monday evening
for the duration of the tournament). Players who are unable to play
their scheduled match will forfeit the match with the winner advancing
to the next round. If a player is unable to reach his opponent to
schedule their match, notification must be made by phone to Strategy
Plus no later than 72 hours after the match has been officially
posted.
Keep in mind that the tournament involves a fair amount of long
distance calling. As schedules are posted, the player's name appearing
on the top line of each bracket is responsible for the first call,
the player on the bottom is responsible for the second call, and any
tie-breaking games will be made by the player on top.
The tournament will begin May 1st, 1994. Results of each match
must be posted to CompuServe (Modem Games Forum / Network Games / DOOM
Tournament), America Online (Computing & Software / Games / Message
Board / General / DOOM Tournament) or phoned in to the offices of
Strategy Plus at (802) 860-6467 by no later than Sunday of each week.
If you are interested in entering The "Am I DOOMed" Tournament
please call Strategy Plus magazine by April 20th at the number above
and ask for Marc.
Players will need to have downloaded the latest version of the
shareware version of DOOM and must have a modem capable of handling a
minimum baud rate of 9600. Players must be eighteen years or older to
enter the tournament. Employees and family members of Strategy Plus
and id Software may not participate in the tournament. Guys, don't you
give me the evil eye! Oh? Whose eye is it?
The Prize
Did ya think you were wasting those goons and maroons for
nothing? Heck no. The First Prize winner will receive five free games
(registered version of DOOM included) from the Strategy Plus prize
vault plus a one year subscription to Strategy Plus. The Second Prize
winner will receive three games (registered version of DOOM included)
and a one year subscription to Strategy Plus and the Third Prize
winner earns a free one year subscription to the magazine (in the
event that the winner already has a subscription to the magazine then
we will extend his or her subscription by one year. If the registered
version of DOOM is already owned we will substitute it with another
game).
The entire tournament schedule, results and it's winners will be
published in a future issue of Strategy Plus.

Well, not quite but we'll do what we can to make the slugfest worth
your hard earned effort. We draw the line at peeling grapes though.
