Tourney Rules:
1)The tourney will be held on
2)Players will be selected on a first come, first
serve basis. In order to qualify the player must either be recognized by myself
as an old school br.comer or have posted a report
with a rating higher than 7.0 in their lifetime. This is to make sure the
people playing are part of the br.com community and not people just looking for
the prize. This tourney is about the br.com community having a little fun. To
sign up just email me at mark4@battlereports.com, include a link to your report
or tell me how old school you are, and the name you'll compete under as well as
your b.net name and usual name. The number of entrants is essentially
unlimited, but if we get more than 64 you’re going in as an alternate and
may not get to play. If we have an off number of people some people may get
randomly generated first round bys.
3)The tourney is designed to have a little fun. Please
be good mannered towards your opponents in the channel, and of course any cheat
programs and map hacks are entirely prohibited. This shouldn't be taken as
forbidding any cheese tactics you happen to enjoy using during the games
themselves. Excessive spamming of the tourney channel or another player may
result in your disqualification. I don't think we'll have much problem here
since it's a community tourney.
4)We might have a few disconnects during the games. If
both players agree, then you may restart the game from a saved game or restart
the entire game. Otherwise the non discing player
wins, no matter what was happening in game. Finals games will be restarted from
a save.
5)Since it's a br.com tourney, I'm sure that we will
have plenty of people wanting to observe the games. If a tourney admin wishes
to watch, they must be allowed to. Second priority goes to officially selected
people wishing to write a battle report on the games. Other observers are
optional and must be approved by all players. No observer may say ANYTHING to
either player in the game. The finals and semifinals will probably be full of
officials, so don't expect to get to observe them. Any observer must leave on
request of the players except a tourney official.
6)In keeping with the BR.com philosophy of spreading
the wealth, the first place player will be given $75, the second $50, and the
third $25
7)It's a single elimination tourney. This is for two
main reasons. First, it’s a lot easier to run and keep track of. This
makes it funner for everyone when you don't have to
wait on an admin to figure out whats going on.
Second, we have a lot of truly good players, but I want to make it fun for the
more casual participants as well. In a single game, single elimination tourney
luck plays more of a factor and wierd and unusual strats that work only once can be used. Finals will be best
of three.
8)Maps are as follows. I expect five rounds. If both
players agree on a map, they can use any official blizzard map, WCG, or PGT map
on melee setting and play on that map. If players don’t agree during
round one, they play on
9)The winning player must save a replay from each tourney game and email it to me after each game. I ask that you post the replay at the br.com replay section.
BR.com Admins:
Mark4, JohnnyVegas, and Zerg~Ling
will be acting admin if he gets eliminated early cuz
he wants games to
