Learn To Run Madden 11 Tournaments For Friends

Madden NFL has a cult following throughout the globe. It has captured a big chunk of the football video games market. This EA Sports release is awaited eagerly by fans everywhere. Its popularity has encouraged its makers to simultaneously release an adaptation for all the gaming mediums like XBox, Nintendo, Playstation and the PC. Madden 11 tournaments are held all over and fans who take their gaming seriously, participate in large numbers. To host one of these events, these are some of the basics you should know.

Not all of these contests are played for reward money and monetary prizes. Some are held unofficially between friends, playing for fun. However, for tournaments and for contests held on television, the reward is substantially more. The top notch, experienced players take part in these and take game play seriously to win the top spot. For your game to be credible, as a moderator, it is your duty to ensure fairness. Although there are not a bunch of rules that the gamers have to be abide by, some common courtesies are followed and these are like the fundamental rules. Most of the events have these with minor variations. As a moderator, ensure a fair game and treat all players equally. The controller and the console are usually provided by the organisers. Under no circumstances are the players supposed to use their own. This is obviously to eliminate chances of tampering. Tampering is dealt with severely in these events, most likely with the player getting booted. All the players are given similar controllers and consoles to ensure fair play.

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. Any usage of vulgar language is generally frowned upon and also abusing the referee, verbally or physically, can land the player an instant disqualification. When play is on, no interaction with the spectators is allowed. Using a headset, damaging equipment, physical abuse of referee all can land the player penalties. In extreme cases, the player can be booted. You must clearly get the rules across to the players, including the punishment for not sticking to them.

No game 'fixing' is tolerated and any attempts to do so will get the player booted. Madden 11 tournaments rules vary according to the type of event. A live game will have slightly different rules from an online one. You may also have to stipulate the duration of game play, the speed of game and the difficulty settings.
