3v3
Let's see how many teams we can get!

Date and Time

Start time is 18:00 UTC, Saturday 9th July.

Please be online about 10 minutes before so that the start is not unnecessarily delayed.

This time is morning-to-midday in America, evening in Europe and early Sunday morning in Asia.

Be aware the tournament is likely to run for a few hours.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to write me!

Results

[Spoiler]

Format

Round robin or Swiss followed by tiebreaks. (That does not mean that if you lose 2 games that the tournament is over for you three)
[Spoiler]

Map Pool

Subject to change.

Since this tournament is sponsored by Mr. Sea, there will be a Sea Map to choose from every round!
How to choose one of these maps?
3 Map/s showen: In each round the first team listed in the room bans a map, then the second team picks one of the remaining maps.

[Spoiler]

How to sign up?

Sign up with a team and a teamname below this thread!
for examble: " Hoppili+ @Chomolungma+ ethanmarcusg = "Nubs" Or if you don't have a complete team (3) yet: "I'm searching for 2 people" / "Me and PlayerA are searching for 1 guy."

If you don't have a team register anyway then you will be put on the "unassigned players list:" and people who don't have a team will contact you or you will contact people on the "unassigned players list:".If this is not the case by the start of the tournament I will divide these players fairly into teams.

If you show up at the last minute you might or might not get in, depending on the number of teams and whether anybody needs a partner.

Tiebreaks / Finals

[Spoiler]

To avoid issues on the day, will tiebreaks be decided by the same way as previous tournaments? (Which was the "TB" column followed by the "Buchholz" column on Challonge)

Yeah I think tiebreaks will be decided by "TB" column followed > "Median-Bucholz-System" .

quote: 4hundred: 3v3 is really hard for tourneys, always leavers. but can work more then 4 teams is still good

Well I can also make a 1v1 tournament again where you basically always see only the same people...
However, more and more players have written to me that they would like to have a 2v2 / 3v3 tournament and the majority has then decided for 3v3.
[Spoiler]

Other problem is OP teams, try to keep them to some degree reasonable, like 3x purple teams is too much

welocome all:)

quote: I think some team tourneys in the past have had rating caps on teams so the best players didnt make an unbeatable team and steamrolled everyone. Just a thought

What kind of rating caps are you thinking about, WHR limit?
Suggest what you think is best.

I would like to play. Need a team though hmmm...

forever, just like 1v1, team tourney results have historically fallen almost exactly in order of the collectively WHR rating. Keeping them in the same ballpark is advised imo.

Hoppili, WHR limits are complicated, I think the easiest measure is for you to just give a stern angry face if a super team signs up, and reserve the right to reject it, or request them to reconsider.

quote: Map pool. critique - Terra, Wanderlust and banana rep are some of the best for 3v3, please add to regular rounds - avoid risk of hour long matches. White rabbit, europe and moon q are too much. - For medium, large map rounds add folsam and\or dsd or something Just my thoughts, but if you do larger maps keep to same rounds, else you stagger long games throughout tourney.

I agree, except for with wanderlust -- i think it's too crowded for 3v3. Fallendell is a very nice small map for 3v3.

Terra is in my opinion, one of the best for 3v3 and possibly the very best map for the mode.
