17.37 Tournament of Champions

The Tournament of Champions consists of three separate competitions; 4v4, 2v2, and 1v1 tournaments.

Round Robin Competition
------------------------------
Teams will be required to show for at least one of these times and will be matched to fight in a semi-automated system. Matches may or may not start right away depending on the number of participants and open arenas. We will run matches as quickly as possible through the available. If a team fails to show often enough to complete the round robin matches, they will be disqualified.

Plan on having as many matches as we can run over the course of two hours. Matches will last a maximum of 20 minutes and the team with the most surviving members will win. In the case of equal surviving members, the match will be declared a draw. Teams will receive 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. After the round robin, the seeding for the finals matches will come from the top 8 teams/individuals. Only the top 8 teams will advance. If fewer than 8 teams enter the tournament we will change to a 4 team bracket.

Individuals in the 1v1 will be required to meet with assigned matches at any time as report results to the system. More information on this process will be released as we approach the event.

Round robin groups will range from 3 to 8 teams/individuals depending on the number of participants and will be randomly assigned.

In the case of a tie the following tie break conditions will be used in order:
- Kill/Death difference.
- Team with the most kills.
- Head to head result.


Finals Matches
------------------------------
There are no draws in finals matches. Winning teams will be determined by the team that most recently had the most members. In other words, the team with the last member to be killed. If after 20 minutes neither team has lost a member, the match will be restarted and you will be mocked.
