November 19th 1v1 Tourney

Apologize for late notice, I'm just throwing together a tourney real quick for November.

The tourney will be on November 19th at 10AM UTC.

All participants should arrive at 9:30AM UTC to show they are here. 9:55AM UTC will be cutoff time for entry and this is when subs will go in for missing people

Tournament rule.

Swiss match to determine top 4 players. Swiss starts with a random match-up, then players with similar scores play against each other. Depending on the number of players, it could be 4-5 rounds. Each first match is on a random map in the map pool, and thenm loser picks map. After that, it's double elimination.

We have a 15-30 mins break in between format.

Double elimination games are best of 3 matches and the final game is best of 5 matches. The first map is a designated map in the map pool, then the defeated team chooses a map from the map pool.

Tournament Reward:

Being worked out with devs.


Match Rules:


Swiss rounds have no time limit.

The Double elimination matches have a time limit of 60 min [with 5 mins extra]. Similar rules as above. If there is a draw, a time extension of 15 mins would be provided. If there is still a draw, a random coin toss would be used to determine the winner [or one side could accept defeat in a display of sportmantship]. In such case, we acknowledge that both participants are equal in skill and all this is just because the tournament must continue.

Match behaviour:

To foster a sense of sportsmanship [As requested by certain Devs], we ask that each official game start with both teams say a polite greeting to acknowledge a fight between equal.

[ The same system happen in all sport/game match e.g. MMA fight have opponents touch gloves before fight, taekwondo Olympic match have opponents shake hand before match, Shogi have opponents bow to each other before each match,…]

No name calling or disruptive behavior is allowed in the match. The team that violated this rule, forfeit the match.

About players who have to leave due to justifiable reasons or was unintentionally disconnected, the game can be paused for a small amount of time [<3 mins]. Any longer pause would need the consent of his opponent.

The teams, that are 10 minutes late or no-show, forfeit the match.
Post game analysis and congratulation are encouraged but not required.

Win or lost decision will be what both teams agree on.

If any member of any teams in the match disagrees, the decision will be on the Arbitrator.
Match replay link should be recorded for future complaints.

I'm free to cast. I should be able to cast the whole thing, but if it goes longer than 6 hours (which these tournaments tend not to) I will have to step out for a dentist appointment.

Also, why do I keep having to put in the "make check-ins 30 minute early in order to make the no-show/sub cutoff 10AM UTC sharp" reminder?! It's worked beautifully for the past two tournaments, there's no reason not to have it. I don't mean to be harsh, but I feel like this stuff is getting copy-pasted without considering later changes that worked made from these forum discussions.

Swiss will work better for 1v1, as there should be a few more participants. confusing?, everyone plays each other, u get win\loss record, which determines players knocked out and a draw for knockout rounds\finals.

Sorry Shadowfury333 threw this together in like 5 minutes and didn't have time to copy/paste earlier. Was going to do it today anyways XD

Will do.

*politely asks Shadowfury333 if I can co-commentate with a better mic this time

Parzival: In principle I'd be happy to co-commentate with you, but you are running the tournament. It's really tough to do that and commentate. Are you really sure you want to take on both tasks at once?

Sorry, this section didn't sound understandable, explain please?

Settings/Interface/Spectating/Econ. Announcer contains setting for configuring an economy based game timeout. If you are a spectator then it counts the metal and announces whether there is a winner, either locally or to everyone in the game.

Just like the last one!
