Deadlyx39 and Red Blaster Present: The Team Bracket Tournament!
Much like how it was when the first bracket tournament was hosted back in March, this tournament format is back once more to provide a bit of a fresh take on the tournament scene, this time with some new found flair added to it.
Registration: - You can register in one of two different ways. You can register for the tournament by either posting in this thread that you're interested in joining, or you can send a PM to Deadlyx39. Either way works.
- Sign-Ups will last until NOVEMBER 7th 11:59 PM Server Time. YOU MAY NOT SIGN UP AFTER THIS DATE.
- Tournament will then begin on Saturday, November 7th at 9 PM Server Time.
- Round 1 starts Wednesday, November 12th at 11:59 PM Server Tome
Format: - This tournament will be a double elimination bracket tournament.
- This tournament is unique, as players will be allowed to create their own teams in this tournament!
- Teams must be between 3 and 7 players and have at least one person in each of the following groups: (Divisions 1-3) (Divisions 4 & 5) (Divisions 6 & 7). Another restriction is that you may not have 2 players on the same team that are in the same division, so players can be spread out better. NOTE: If a person drops out of the tournament on your team, you are allowed to find a replacement for that person, however they must be in the same division as the person that drops out.
- You may be asking: "What do you mean by 3 to 7 players per team? Wouldn't that leave the teams unbalanced?" That is actually not going to be an issue, as scoring will be based off of your team's average PA (Your Goods-Averages-Misses-Boos Spread). For example, if you have a team of 4 players, and their combined PA is 12-8-0-4, then the team's average PA will be 3-2-0-1. PAs will then be averaged thanks to their good equivalents (1.8 Goods for an Average, 2.4 Goods for a Miss, 0.2 Goods for a Boo), meaning that the 3-2-0-1 Average PA will be equal to a 6.8 Equivalent.
- The reason why this scoring is used is in case a member of one of the teams is inactive, it won't hurt that team.
- Seeding will be randomized. There will be NO qualifying round, meaning a team might end up with a first round bye if there is an uneven amount of teams. Don't blame me if this happens and you don't get the first round bye, blame Challonge RNG.
