This is an announcement for the third Combined Arms tournament. If you're interested either reply here or message on Discord.
As of right now the plan is as follows:
- To begin in August, played on v1.07.1.
- Swiss style group stage (5 rounds, 2 games per round (1 point per win so each round allows for 2-0, 1-1 or 0-2 record)) followed by a best of three, double elimination knockout, with best of five semi-finals and 3rd place match, and best-of-seven finals [note: number of games open to change subject to player agreement]. Top 8 will progress to knockout stage.
- Flexible schedule, where the brackets will be filled in as matches are played, and it'll be up to the players to organise their matches within a reasonable timeframe (will make a decision on what that is nearer the time). We have players in many timezones, and I'd prefer a longer lasting tournament where as many can participate as possible over a more restricted timeframe which excludes people.
- Where either player is concerned about faction counter-picks, in group stage the 1st player listed picks their faction last in the first game, and 2nd player picks last in second game. In knockout stage, first player listed picks last in first game, loser of previous game(s) picks last in subsequent games.
- If anyone has to drop out I'll attempt to find a suitable replacement, otherwise their opponent(s) will just have to be given the win.
- There will be prize pool, but contributions aren't finalised yet. Estimated to be minimum £200. Allocated as per the previous tournament (50% for 1st Place, 25% for 2nd Place, 15% for 3rd Place, 10% for 4th Place).
- For group stage, each player picks one map since there are 2 games to be played. For knockout stage, first map for each matchup will be pre-selected by admin, loser of previous game picks following map. The same map can't be played multiple times in a series, if both players pick same map in group stage then second map should be randomly selected.
- Fast clicking macros/programs are allowed, but anything more sophisticated isn't.
- Games to hopefully be streamed via replays (or live if they're at convenient times).
- Games should be played on one of the tournament servers which have config locked and non-tournament maps can't be chosen, however if connections are poor other servers can be used as long as the settings are correct. Replays sent to Darkademic in #tournament-internal channel.
Cheers!
