[FACTIONS.I] FINAL INFO

[PACO]

What was I expecting? 8 teams.. What was I hoping for? 16 teams.. What did we end up with? Something in the middle. The first three teams to sign up were given BYEs through the first round. Availability for the tournament was always labelled as a being on a first come first serve basis and these teams automatically clinched a berth in the second round (pending no more teams joining the tournament). The seeding was all done randomly and if lady luck was able to shine down on you.. great. If she didn't.. well then she must not like you. Win or go home, it's the name of the game. The bracket will be on the website and will feature a match result page.

Signups close at 12pm EST this Sunday so if you would like to sign up and play.. JOIN IMMEDIATELY (http://www.ownedwell.com/Tournaments/UT99/FACTIONS_I) and start searching for a team. There are many great players still looking for homes.

Times/Maps:

Initially the tournament was going to start at 2:30pm EST/3:00pm EST. We were going to run a BO3 BO1 BO1 BO3 however after giving some teams BYEs in the first round, an initial problem reemerged. We don't want people forming teams and being instantly eliminated in a BO1, we want teams to play a real series. This meant that we are adding a BO3 in the second round and with a BO3 in the first, second and fourth round, it seemed silly to have a single BO1 in a crucial third round.

The tournament will now start at 2:00pm EST/7:00pm GMT/8:00pm CET and it will be BO3 throughout. The map picks will be as follows:

BO3 Round 1: Gauntlet, NIX, Adonis, Elsinore, CampLinfort
BO3 Round 2: Nuance, NIX, Adonis, New Command, CollarDreams
BO3 Round 3: Gauntlet, Nuance, Elsinore, CollarDreams, CampLinfort
BO3 Round 4: Adonis, NIX, Elsinore, CampLinfort, Nuance, Gauntlet, New Duku, New Sprinta, New Command

Round 1-3: A eliminates 1, B eliminates 1, A picks 1, B picks 1, remaining map is TB.
Round 4: A eliminates 2, B eliminates 2, A eliminates 1, B eliminates 1, A picks 1, B picks 1, remaining map is TB.

Team A and B will be sorted by a coin flip in an IRC channel and it will be done by the match admin.

server selection?

since ddos'ing is running rampant on non-ip7 servers, what's the plan if something happens mid game?

[PACO]

Thanks for catching that. I was bleary eyed while pasting names into the bracket. I'm hearing rumblings that there might be another 1-2 teams signing up. Stay tuned.
