Tournament Information

[Tempus]

Ok guys, the tourney is about to begin.. Week 1 is schedule to start February 27th. The teams are nearly complete, and the schedule is finalized. Team recruiting is over, so if you are not on a team, you will have to hope to be a sub or a replacement for a dropped/missing player.

There will be six teams. Each match will be played on a map with each team playing each side once. After a team wins 6 rounds, the teams switch sides. The total number of rounds won will determine the winner of the match. If each team has the same number of rounds won, then each team is credited with a tie. For gameplay rules, please read the following, courtesy of Wyzcrak:

With so many different and dynamic opinions about what justifies a departure from the "expected" tactical decision during gameplay, the tournament will have no boundaries on the maps or in the gameplay. Players will move where their team thinks they'll be most effective at playing their objective. This may sometimes prove to be a valid departure from what many of us experience every night on the CS servers. If it's done correctly, it will be the closest we've ever come on these servers (and with this playerbase) to the responsible freedoms Apophis described during a recent thread here.. a more pure implementation of PCS.. more dynamic and exciting.

HLTV will be used to record demos of each match and will be used for admin review if needed. If you consider a player's decisions during a match to be a significant departure from PCS, complete the match and later arrange with an admin for him to review any demos you want him to see. Simply put: you share your complaint only with the admin(s), who will decide whether or not your complaint is valid.

Admins will not ignore complaints, but admins alone will decide how many complaints justify a player being warned and or removed from the tournament. Admins will not publicly discuss complaints and will keep between the admins and the player in question any conversations regarding complaints about that player. The aim of these conversations will be keeping the player in the tournament by helping them better understand what's reasonable and what is not. Complaints about admins will be handled with equal scrutiny.

Players who prove consistently unable to understand what is reasonable and what is not, per the discretion of the admins, will be removed from the tournament. If a player is removed from the tournament, the player's team is welcome to either replace him with someone who has not been on a team at any point during the tournament or to play their remaining matches at a numbers disadvantage.

Now... that's a lot to read, but it's very similar to every day thinking about here: if you're out of bounds, you'll find out about it. If you can't adapt to what's expected, you don't play here. Nothing new, but we'd rather not have any misunderstandings going into this.

Each team is responsible for scheduling their match with the other team. Once a time/day is agreed on, the server must be reserved for gameplay. If a match does not get played during its week, both teams will receive a loss. Teams are allowed to substitute a player from their team if necessary, but the new player must not be a player for any other team, and must be an established member of our community (ie. no ringers).

The map schedule is as follows:
Week 1: cs_Havana
Week 2: de_Prodigy
Week 3: cs_Office
Week 4: de_Contra
Week 5: cs_Italy

Championship: de_Piranesi

Week 1 competitions:
A vs B
C vs D
E vs F

Let the smack talk begin!

Yes Temp, very good job on the organization. But I have to ask... is it possible to post a chart of how it'll go with wins and losses? Like football tournys or whatever the charts with the ---[ things on them... You know what I mean. If I had enough brains to do that, I would... lol Not sure if anyone out there is good with that sorta thing...

.............I can't tell if that's good or bad?

[CingularDuality]

We need each team to come up with a captain that makes final arrangements with the tourney organizors and with the opposing teams. Just a point of contact, really (well, depending on how you want to run your team, I guess it could be more...).
