Will somebody record duels?
Vulcan begat me: Minerva me taught:
Nature, my mother: Craft nourish'd me year by year:
Three bodies are my food: my strength is in naught:
Anger, wrath, waste, and noise are my children dear.
Guess, friend, what I am: and how I am wraught:
Monster of sea, or of land, or of elsewhere.
Know me, and use me: and I may thee defend:
And if I be thine enemy, I may thy life end.

Most duels will go unrecorded unless those participating in them decide to do it.

Warband_Battlestream will hopefully be recording the big fights. We'll try and avoid just recording the most obvious matches, though obviously they'll be recorded as well. Which match to record will I guess be down to those of us running it though if anybody thinks a duel of theirs will be particularly worth recording then they're welcome to drop me a PM. I'd stress however that considering the huge sum of matches it's not always going to be possible to record a satisfactory amount.

in the middle of the fight, no. But it is allowed between kills and death.

Are there any event admins who could watch a fight, to make sure people respect the rules?
The solution to beating good teams is to get better, not try to split them up  :lol:

I don't want to talk myself out of a seeded position but am I (and other people who didn't win a single duel last tournament) really deserving of one?

The list of such players (I think) includes:

captainlust
Carl
Elmira
Barbarian (who not only failed to win but failed to play a single duel)
Sev
Golradir

Kwal (won a duel but only by default)
Firu (same as above but also failed to play a single duel. Sorry Firu!)

See Killfacer's reply. I'll set up a recordings/media thread too. Besides Warband_Battlestream, any other individual is of course welcome to record duels.

is it aviable change weapon in the fight? i mean i started with 1h, then wants use 2h for example.
i mean without pause

See in the rules: "Players may change weapons between duels, however, once a duel has started they may not change weapons until the duel is over."

This means that once you may change weapons in between separate fights, but not while a fight is going on.

Are there any event admins who could watch a fight, to make sure people respect the rules?

Nditions server admins will of course help to keep duels safe from randomers, and can offer advice if they think people are deviating from the rules. At the moment, and complaints/issues people have would be going straight to me.

Yes this is a problem. The seeding for this tournament is absolutely terrible once you get beyond the first ~10-15 seeds. This is due in equal parts to the far larger scale of this tournament to the last, and the structure of the last tournament.

One advantage of this tournament's structure is that it will allow me to seed Nditions IV (if that happens) far more accurately than this was seeded.

The advantage of having the people you listed there is that there is at least a fairly solid guarantee of one person who has at least played in a tournament before, and should know how it works per group.

To some extent I also want to get the seeding system right this time round, so I can have an easier job next time.

If that's the case then I think it's fine and perfectly justifiable under that reasoning. Honestly even being seeded, I doubt I'll make it past the group stage.

I saw in the rules that all matches are to be fought on Nditions but out of curiosity can exceptions be made for example two Americans or two Russian players etc to fight on a server that suits them both better?

Nope, there's a reason it's called "Nditions European Dueling Tournament" and not "Dueling Tournament"

most russians now okay to play with 60-120 ping.

but rus server can be amazing but it disbalance for non-russians
