Gallery / Basketball Arena (WIP)

« on: October 27, 2013, 05:49:03 PM »

So I've been building a new basketball arena for my tournament the past couple days. I decided to make a gallery topic to archive my progress as I build it.

Day 1, Painted the new floor and made the bleachers:

View of the arena:


Day 2, Began building the upper walkway around the bleachers, built the tunnels to the locker rooms, built the locker rooms and began construction on the walls and VIP rooms:

About:
Ravencroft and Whirlwind's Falling Tiles is a unique and new rebirth of the previously popular Falling Platforms game. Falling Tiles used to be extremely popular on Blockland, but died off due to lack of originality. This Falling Tiles server is full of amazing new features that include over 5,000 EVENTS! These features include exciting bonus rounds such as the usual pushbroom death match and falling rockets, but it also includes a snowball fight, projectile sweep, corner bricks only, middle bricks only, vehicles and even a gunfight later in the round! There are also new features that you can pay for with points you earned in previous rounds that alter the game, such as 2x size players, horse playertype and trick mode. The game may seem easy at first, but players will eventually notice that with each round the game gets harder. Platforms fall faster, more rockets spawn, and tougher bonus rounds are enabled as the game advances. This server also includes an awesome new theme instead of the ugly tile walls and a bland arena. The theme is techno/rave. The platforms are all neon colored and the walls have neon designs on them. There's also over 20 different songs that will be looping at all times. Because of this, it is HIGHLY recommended that you download music for the full experience!

About:
Ravencroft's 2v2 Basketball Tournament features fast paced and highly competitive basketball games in a high quality basketball arena. This tournament features 8 teams competing in a bracket format. Every team will start by competing against another team in the 1st round of the bracket. They will then move on to the 2nd round if they beat that team, and finally onto the 3rd round finals where they will compete in the championship game. Teams will be competing for the ultimate prize which includes...well...nothing! But surely people will want to form a team and compete at a high level. Teams are able to come up with creative team names as well as a team color of their choice. Players will also be presented with the opportunity to practice with their team in my server, which is open almost all the time. Practice makes perfect! Applications will be available for players when a new tournament begins, so think about who will be on your team and be ready the day applications are released. Signups are first come first serve, so be fast!

Rules:
• Players must have a basic knowledge of the sport and be available at specific times. If you can not make it to your game, let me know ASAP and I will consider changing the game to a new date or time. Failure to show up to your game will get you removed from the tournament, and possibly even blacklisted from future tournaments depending on the situation.
• Each game consists of 4 quarters. Each quarter is 5 minutes in length. There will be a 5 minute intermission after the 2nd quarter, also known as halftime. If the game game is tied at the end of regulation, the teams will enter into a 5 minute overtime period. If they are still tied at the end of that overtime period, they will enter another overtime period and continue on until one team wins. A game will never end in a tie.
• Sometimes teams need a moment to regroup or come up with a new game plan. This is where timeouts come into play. Each team will get 3 timeouts. Each timeout will be exactly 1 minute long, and game play will resume at the end of that timeout. Unlike real life basketball, you can call a timeout at any point in the game rather than only being able to call timeouts when your team is on offense.
• Game scoring will be based off real life basketball scoring. Scoring a basket within the arcing white line counts as a 2-pointer. Scoring a basket outside the arcing white line counts as a 3-pointer. Free throws are 1 point for each made free throw.
• After a someone scores, or the ball goes out of bounds, the team with the ball must pass the ball in to their teammate.
• Fouls/Penalties will play a large part in keeping the games organized. Every foul or penalty committed will result in 2 free throws for the opposing team, usually resulting in an easy 2 points. Sometimes players may commit a technical foul. A technical foul is a serious offence in a game and with it comes consequences.  A technical foul will result in the opposing team shooting 2 free throws alone. That team also gets the ball after shooting those free throws. If a player commits 2 technical fouls, they will be automatically removed from the game, forcing their teammate to play alone. Read the list of fouls/penalties in the below section.
• Players are allowed to confront an official while the clock is stopped and ask for clarification of a certain call, such as a foul, ruling, or basket. Players are not allowed to argue or complain about a call.

Fouls/Penalties:
Normal Fouls: (Will result in the opposing team shooting 2 free throws.)
• Stealing the ball before the half court line. This includes passes.
• Shooting the ball before the half court line.
Technical fouls: (Will result in the opposing team shooting 2 free throws and getting the ball back. 2 technical fouls results in an automatic removal from the game.)
• Arguing with the official about a foul, ruling, or basket.
• Talking in all caps because your are angry.
• Raging in the middle of the game.
• Protesting by causing a delay in the game.
• Spiking the ball against the floor making it bounce really high.
• Throwing the ball across the court for no reason whatsoever.

Tips n' Tricks:
• Left Click to shoot the ball
• Right click to pass the ball
• The basketball item is edited so that you cannot make a shot using right click, or the pass command.
• Practice often. The more consistently you practice, the better you will be. It will also help you become more familiar with your teammate.
• Be fast and confuse your opponents. You must be quick to prevent the ball from being stolen from you. Coming up with moves, such as spin moves and shot fakes will help you create separation from the defender and give you a better chance of making a basket.
• Come up with a set of unique plays that will help you and your teammate stay on the same page. Creating and executing plays is often the key to success. Also make sure to practice these plays.
• Come extra early to your games. Showing up early and practicing right before the game will help you prepare for the upcoming game.
