Outline:
Two players sign up as one team
Bracket(s) will be setup
Single elimination (1 game or best of 3 series will be determined)
Fan created maps only - will not be given out in advance to make games interesting so players can not prepare
Winning 2v2 team will have a choice between 3 prizes: Sealed Pre 9/11 box copy of RA2, Tibieran Sun Soundtrack, Sealed Havoc Action Figure
All of the details, such as Renguard, are not worked out, since this is still just an IDEA and is not actually an event yet.
I believe I've hit 3 of the most active forum communities (excluding CW) with this thread already. There have been some people that appeared to be interested.
Feedback?

How are people going to play if the maps are not announced. They may not have the maps.
What server will it be anyway?

Thanks for that tip.
I'm awaiting responses from a few people before I post any specifics about the tournament.

Fan maps are awesome, and I like the idea, only what about people who don't have somebody close to them who plays Renegade (Well)? Are the teams pre-selected, or randomized at the start of the tournament?

Uh... you would probably try to get someone that you know well... 
I know its kinda hard to do sometimes, but I managed to get a partner for this within around 5 minutes of when I read Icyy's first announcement on the ren-archive forums. Maybe someone should make a topic for people that don't have a partner or something?

Sorry, obtaining prizes costs money and take time. It also requires server space, the smaller the games the easier it is to run. If it were to be a common map tournament clanwars players would win hands down. Renegade lacks strategy when there's only a handful of maps to play. New maps require strategy since most players will be unfamiliar with the maps. It will also involve a little luck.

No, it will involve some players that already have played the map, so know it and at least find their way on the map (not getting lost) and the others who haven't, loosing the map.
You should at least give out the map 2 days before the games so people can at least explore it.

That's the luck part. Just because one player knows the map a little better than the other 3 doesn't mean that his team will win. It may be an advantage for the team and that's part of the tournament.
For example consider a C&C RTS. Occasionally you might play someone on a map you haven't played before and that map may be the other players best map. The player familiar with the map doesn't always win. The player that knows the map could be a complete newb who doesn't understand how to play a 2v2. Most of the players that are great in 2v2's are players that only play standard maps and know every possible strategy there is and knows what works and what doesn't.

Renegade is a strategy game, to be able to define some kind of strategy, you need to at least not get lost on the map.
You could at least give out a list of all maps between which you will choose maps so people can explore them + you'll be sure the players actually have the maps.
And you could call it luck but if you put me on a fanmap I played several times and i know how to move from the tunnels in an enemy building whereas the enemy gets lost in the buildings, then is it a fair match? Then is it a good game? then is it fun? No: too easy for one team, impossible for the other team.

I was thinking that fanmaps would be a good idea until I read this. Some of the fanmaps aren't very linear and someone could go in the complete opposite direction of the other teams base.. rofl..
/me goes to go play in LAN 1 player games with the uber mappack now..

And if we play standard maps you may as well crown any of the teams from Clanwars that signed up before the tournament even starts.
Anyone that gets lost on a map like Siege, for example, is a complete idiot. I'm not just going to randomly select any map and say you're playing this map. Any maps played in the tournament will be looked at by me before any team plays on them. If you don't want to explore, fine, play defense, wait for the other team to attempt to attack, do not let them destroy a building then you have the cash advantage.

Describe the meaning of a lot of people? I don't see more than 2-3 servers running ANY fan maps that regularly get a fair amount of players on them. If you don't like the tournament you don't have to play. I have played against Clanwars players before, this is the fairest way to do any AOW tournament. Even when Clanwars would do their 1v1 2v2 3v3 tournaments, there were already one of two possible winners picked out that always ended up winning. Fan maps make the tournament interesting, makes everyone think in a different way. A common map tournamnet would be a total waste of time.
If you'd like to prove me wrong, go get a few friends, practice a strategy on a particular map, go to the Clanwars.cc forums and challenge anyone there. You will get massacred.

As a clanwars player, I think that the fanmaps idea is pretty neat...that way we may have better individual skill, but the opponent may know more about the map layout. Besides, I doubt that ultra map pack people have played too many 2v2s on those maps...so every team will have to think up some new tactics.
lol

I'm not saying fanmaps is bad, I say you should at least say which fanmaps you will choose out.
Many fanmaps are huge btw: 2v2 will be a very long run then.

I believe Icyy will pick smaller ones anyway...there are enough to choose from. I like the surprise factor...but my question is: How do you determine which side you're on?

Since there will be a minimum of two maps, before the maps are announced each team will get to pick the side they want in game one or game two, game three, if neccesary, will be the side you load on.
