1. Learn about hunger saturation (http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/a-little-rundown-on-hunger-food.14639/)
2. When you are being chased, and need to eat. Place down a cake and make a full circle (around a object so they can't cut you off) back to it and take a few bites. This way you don't slow down.
3. When you are being chased, eat when climbing vines/ladders because you do not slow down.
4. Use fishing rods to propel team mates or avoid foes.
5. Never underestimate a wood/stone sword. You can take out people with better weapons.
6. Use the element of surprise. Crouch around a corner, you'll get the first few hits and they may be the difference between life and death.
7. Use height to your advantage. Knocking people off and dealing fall damage really helps.
8. Know the maps, know where you can hide and where you can get good items.
9. Hiding is always a option. Don't feel like you have to outrun them. Just make sure they can't see you, hide and crouch.
10. Don't start punching wars, they waste time. If you are being punched like crazy, put on armour and punch back. Armour basically decided the winner of a punching fight.
11. The goal is to win, don't hesitate to betray people.
12. Take out teams as early as possible, before they get decent gear.
13. The corn should be a option, and you shouldn't rely on it.
14. Know how to use a bow. Plain and simple.
15. Play it safe, and take risks when it is your only option.
16. Practice tough jumps (such as from the top to bottom of the mountain in SG3).
17. Use your gold ingots for armour, a gold sword if you can't find a weapon or golden apples.
18. Boats can get you out of tricky situations.
19. If your better at fighting in the water, use it.
20. Use water to escape if it's your only option. Hiding is better.
21. Make tough jumps (that you are sure you can make) to escape. Chances are your chaser can't.
22. Use your team mate until you are certain you can win without them.
23. Know how to escape traps. Not all of them have a escape but some do (such as the SG2 pink house or SG4 airfield lava trap (yes.. I found a way out)).
24. Never give up in the death match if you are outnumbered or outmatched, there is always a chance.
25. You don't always have to rush the corn at the start. There may be a route you need to run quickly (like on a map like breeze with so little chests) , a high value item (old SG1 iron sword) or a area with a ton of chests (old SG1 pirate ship with a ton of chests).

Even if you knew most of these, I hope you learned something new! Disagree with one of these tips? Let me know!

Maybe you should add a few tutorial videos?

I have a few things to say about some of these.
.2 what if you don't have a cake? then what would you do?
.13 i agree, when in was playing in map 4 there where 2 "special chests" around my area and i ended up getting gold helmet and everything else iron armor, which is just as good as going to the cornicopia but NOT taking the big risk!
and i have a thing to add maybe if you had 1 more reason. well im gona say my story: i did the lava hardcore parkour in map 4 and when i was going to get out i got trapped in the piston, fail right? I only had leather helm stone axe and some food, i couldove just winged it and try to win with my stuff i already had but then i thought for a bit and i said to myself "theres probably a pile of items from a dead corpses that can have some value! armor stone swords ect"
so I knew what to do from the deathmatch. when the deathmatch started there WAS a pile of crap right infront of me so i picked it up, one guy got killed and then I tryed to fight the last guy and I ended up wining! from no chace at all to victorious i was!
so i guess another one would be THINK you could be smarter than your foes use whatever you know from you minecraft skills to outhink them! try it, it worked for me :)

About tip #10. I never knew armor blocked punch damage. Since punch damage is 1/2 heart, what else to negate there? Other than completely negating the damage, but that would never happen.

about #23 can you tell me the way out if you are trapped in the pink house? :D (I already know how to escape the lava trap in SG 4 :p)

The only way that i've found to escape the airfield lava trap is when i've WATCHED people glitch out. It makes me so mad.

I think to escape the pink house, it also includes the word 'glitch'.

Also, use low ground to your advantage! The opposite of using high ground to knock players to their deaths, if you're below someone, your reach is greatly improved over theirs, and you'll get more hits on them. This is because your top half is what counts when attacking, so you'll have a full block advantage in hitting distance over your opponent.

There is a hidden button to escape the pink house (or there was, not sure if it's still in).

And in the SG4 airfield, there's a safe spot near the back, or if you're fast, you can block jump out near the front. I did that and got the biggest "WTF!?" reaction from some guy who thought he was sooooo clever flipping the switch on me.

By block jump, do you mean punching a block until it breaks, then jumping into it? Certainly you wouldn't, considering you can be banned for that.
