Rules
Outline
The tournament will be a Swiss-system tournament. There will be a number of rounds even to the binary logarithm of the number of players rounded up; so if we have 5-8 players, we'll have 3 rounds, 9-16 players, we'll have 4 rounds, 17-32 players, we'll have 5 rounds, etc.
Everyone starts with 0 points. If you win your match in the round, you will get a point. Once everyone has completed a round, we will seed the next round, putting players as close as possible to other players with the same number of points. If several players are tied in points (or evenly away from other players in points) we will randomly seed the round, including at the beginning of the tournament. Players will also not play the same opponent twice in the same tournament.
In this way, people who win the first round will play each other, and those who lose the first round will play each other. As the tournament progresses, we should have people more and more evenly matched as the points even out.
If there are an odd number of players in the tournament, one player chosen completely at random will have a bye each round. (The same player will not be chosen twice.) That player will get one point for the bye.
If anyone states they will be unable to play any games for the week ahead of time, every attempt will be made to give them a bye or match them against another player who is unable to play that week. In that case, they will get half a point. If this matchup is not possible, then they will be matched against a player who could play; they will get 0 points and the player who could play will get 1, as if they had won the match.
Each round will last until all matches have been played or one week has gone by. Players should make every attempt to play their match within the week given. If a match cannot be played within the week, the tournament organizers will determine the outcome of the match, with a default of both players receiving half a point.
Winner
The winner will be the player with the highest number of points. In the event of a tie, we will have a playoff game.
Matches
Matches will be Best of Three; players will play each other until one player or the other has won two games.
The first map for each round will be determined randomly (and will not be repeated in the tournament). Loser of previous game will pick the next game's map (if a next game is necessary).
The 1v1 maps to pick from are:
- Blistering Sands
- Desert Oasis
- Scrap Station
- Steppes of War
- Xel'naga Caverns
- Kulas Ravine
- Lost Temple
- Metalopolis
- Delta Quadrant
If one player has to leave before the three games are played, players should make every effort to complete their games later during that round's week. If this is not possible, the tournament organizers will decide the outcome of that round based on the games played, the player who had to leave, etc.
Spectators are allowed, but only if both players agree. Spectators should not contact the players of the game through any means during play.
Reporting
Following completion of games, players should do two things: Report the results to the matchup/results thread for the tournament, and e-mail replays of the games to the tournament organizer. Games will be hosted and available for anyone to download. Please determine who will e-mail the replays of the match prior to beginning to play.
Ratman_tf: 8/21-8/28
Li of Orchid: 8/22-8/28
