This tournament structure is single round elimination by team. Form a team of 15 Players (including 3 substitutes) and have your Team Captain submit an application for consideration. After we've received your team's application, each team member will be contacted via email with a request for more information.
Additional notes for Team Captains:
We will provide all Team Captains with Premium Time to facilitate custom options in the Launch Module. Team Captains must coordinate with the members of their team, and the team captain of their opposing team in order to reserve their match time slot. Team Captains are responsible for taking a screenshot of the End of Round screen as additional proof of the match results (we'll verify results with server logs). Screenshots must be emailed to events@infinitegamepublishing.com within 6 hours of the match completion.
Team Captains will be responsible for ensuring that match options in the Launch Module are set to the bracket's required criteria (see Bracket information for game mode, map, and other specifications).
First priority for team selection was given to the first unique teams to entirely fill with 15 players. Several teams had to be disqualified for a variety of reasons, including being an additional team for a Merc Corps already represented, or repeated in-game misconduct of one or more members of the team. While we greatly appreciate the enthusiasm of those Corps who managed to get several teams ready, our sincerest apologies go out to those who couldn't make it so that other units could also be fairly represented in this particular test tournament.
It is important to note that this is the first official tournament of this variety which we have implemented, as well as being in BETA as a feature. As such, the tournament should be regarded as unranked. Seeding for this round was aimed at fairly matching each team by overall ELO within the first bracket. We are eager to investigate the many possibilities of how to arrange future tournaments with both existing data (ELO/KDR/WLR) and new data from this event, as well as ways to organize a ranking/seeding system. Ideally, any such system would be both fair to the teams and fun for those cheering from the sidelines. Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated on this particular matter, as future tournaments will be less about testing systems and more about just having fun.
Terms & Disqualifications:
We expect participation in good faith with the spirit of friendly competition. Violations of our Terms of Use, Code of Conduct, or the use of other mechanics that could be considered exploitative, will result in disqualification from the tournament and all future tournaments.
