Sun and Ice 3v3 Tourney

[CookieNoob]

Sun and Ice Tourney
3v3 tourney, under 4200 rating combined

Tournament Directors: [SNF]CookieNoob & [SNF]FlawlessNoob



When? Sa. 1th of July 2017, 14:30 GMT = 16:30 CEST*
End of Signups: approx 10 min before the tourney begins
IRC channel: #SunAndIce
Bracket and Matchups: http://challonge.com/uil7eo4u

*if you are not sure if I did the timezones correctly: the CEST time is the one which counts! http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/
or use this: https://time.is/CEST

The tourney will use an experimental tourney bot, which will allow to reshuffle the teams that are above the rating restriction or not complete. So if your teammates dont show up, just join the channel and we will find a solution. If you want to sign up and dont have a team, you can also register as single player without team and let the tourney bot decide. Predefined teams of 2 players are not possible atm (in this case try to find a third person). Make sure to spell your name and the name of your teammates correctly.

Important: One player of each team (except for the claustrophobia match) has to play nomads!

The rounds will use different game modes:

• round 1: normal game
• round 2 (and losers round 1): crazyrush
• round 3 (and losers round 2): hard FFA
• round 4 (and losers round 3): claustrophobia
• other games can be anything

Tournament rules:

Spoiler: show

- each team has to have at least one nomad player (except for claustrophobia matches)
- The "Pool Party" mod is enabled in each game
- Combined rating (global and ladder, the higher one counts for each player individually) of the players in one team is below 4200 at the day of the tourney
- each player has to have a minimum of 50 played games
- Maps will be chosen by the TD on the tournament start for each bracket(!). The maps from the map pool will not be played more than 3 times in total and only once per team (max).
- Tournament Director have rights to change the rules anytime.
- A team that is late by 10 minutes will be kicked out of the tournament. Try to be in the channel some time before the tourney starts, so we can start without delay!
- The games will follow faf rules and ethics, anything that is deemed bannable will cost you points.
- Any team that causes a delay of more than 10 minutes runs at risk of being kicked from the tourney.
- Standard game options are the default options. Advanced game options and spawn positions are set individually by the TD for each matchup before the round starts.
- If a player drops due to disconnect in first 5 minutes he might ask for a rehost, which must be authorized by the Tournament Director. (To prevent ragequits)
- Game is hosted by the player who is mentioned first in the ping with the configurations, see the manual https://i.imgur.com/EUt5J0T.jpg
- Always wait for your ally to die, so you don't desync the game by leaving!
- Host of the game has to make sure that the latest version of the map is played (check in the vault before each game)
- smurfs trying to join/playing in the tourney are banned for at least a week
- if the game takes longer than 45 minutes, the team with more players alive or the higher score (when the teams have equal amounts) wins. (put score on!)
- if a game is not started within 10 minutes after the matchup is posted, the team that causes the delay will be counted as loser
- The semifinal is a BO3 to allow the losers bracket to catch up.

+some new configurations for the new adaptive maps

Only in the first round: one of the tds will join and check if all options are set correctly. START THE FIRST GAME ONLY AFTER AN "OK" FROM A TD.

how to prepare:

Spoiler: show

• download the "pool party" mod
• play the maps in the list and try some of these configurations
• try alternative options, i.e. crazyrush, civilians,...
• play nomads!
• read the manual https://i.imgur.com/EUt5J0T.jpg
• download the mod "Hard FFA V3" and try it out
• try to get your teammates on teamspeak/skype/mumble

[EcoNoob]

Might be there might not, random me

[moonbearonmeth]

[CookieNoob]

I finally found some time to make a poster

signups are added

[Mach]

Signing up alone too.

[Romual]

I would like to sign up as well. Please_be_gentle in FAF, just in case.

p.s. I don't see any team sign ups. Do we have them at all?

p.p.s. Client says pool party is not in the vault and can't download it. Where can I get it from?

[CookieNoob]

uploading the mod didnt really work as it should (probably a server/client side problem), I already told Downlord about it and hopefully it will be fixed before the tourney (if not, then it will not be mandatory anymore). The mod creates parasols and icewaffles and replaces a few percent of the trees and stones with them. Its purely a visual change.

currently there are no teamsignups yet.

[WoundedElk]

Not got anything planned for Saturday as of yet, so I'll play.
