Posted: Thu Jan 09, 2014 4:25 pm
So reading [player]anamainiacks[/player]' interview in the latest issue of the Dispatch made me want to create a tournament, but something slightly different. Welcome to Caffeine Rush!
This is a premium only tournament, sorry.
As you've seen, this is a Doubles Tournament, but with a twist. Open the spoiler for an explanation cuties.
[spoiler=How the Rounds Work]Round 1
Each team will randomly be placed into a group. There will be four groups of four. Teams all play each other twice within their group; once on their first choice home map and once away. The top two teams from each group advance to Round 2. Games will be divided into sets of two. In the case of a tie-breaker, teams involved will play on their maps again, plus a tie-breaker on Classic with the default settings.
Round 2
This is where the twist kicks in! Doubles teams will be combined to form a team of four. The winners of Group A will team with second place of Group B, whilst the winners from Group B team with second place of Group A. This will be reciprocated for Groups C and D. The new teams will then use their second choice home maps. Each match will also include a game on World 2.1 with the default settings, but replacing escalating with no spoils.
Round 3 - Finals!
Four teams left. These four teams will play a round robin using both their home map choices. Game sets will be divided into sets of four, so a team is only playing one other team at a time. In the case of a tie-breaker, whichever team has won the most games throughout the tournament is declared the champions. If this doesn't resolve the situation, the teams will play three games on Random with the default settings.[/spoiler]
Map & Settings Restrictions
Beta maps are not allowed. Nuclear, zombie, no forts and freestyle are not allowed. Manual is allowed on conquest maps only. Trench games will be made with a 30 round limit.
Please sign up with both your home maps and settings.
