Skurge -> =OS= Sixth PvP Elemental Tournament - Discussion Thread (9/5/2014 18:07:03)

The Sixth Oversoul Tournament is now live! So grab the most shocking characters to bolt to the finish line!

  • Great! Who is my opponent?
    You can check to see who you're fighting the bracket linked here: Energy Tournament Bracket
    Alternatively, check the following post for a running list of current duels!

  • Alright, how do I face my opponent?
    Hunt them down! First, send them a PM with your available times. It is recommended that you list all times in EST. Writing "I'll see you at sundown, Saturday" is too vague and will not help you and your opponent meet your two-day time limit for completing your duels. You may also reply in this thread to set up matches. It is recommended that post in this thread in addition to sending a PM to your opponent.

  • Good Game! My match is over, now what do I do?
    Post the results of your duel here! We would love to see some screenshots of your epic matches, so feel free to share! Do not forget to be courteous. We will be updating the bracket and Battles List continuously as the tournament progresses, so help us out by reporting your match results promptly.

  • Who am I facing next?
    You can check the bracket or Battles List, and PM your opponent.

  • What were the rules again?
    I'm glad you asked! Please check the following quote for the rules once again. The tournament runs much smoother if everyone knows what to do and what to expect. As always, if you have any questions regarding a rule, do not hesitate to post it either in this thread or in a PM to me!



    GENERAL TOURNAMENT RULES AND GUIDELINES



    quote:

  • PvP Double Elimination Tournament. Duel invitation only, so players will have to challenge each other via the "Duel" option for each fight, one after the other. The tournament will be identical to last time (double bracket). A double bracket consists of two different sections - an upper bracket and a lower bracket; when the tournament begins, everyone starts in the upper bracket. As the tournament progresses, those who lose will be automatically sent to the lower bracket and matches will continue there. If you lose in the lower bracket, you're officially out of the tournament as you've lost both matches. The final match will be between the winner of each bracket.
  • A match is a series of 3 duels with the same opponent. If you lose 2 matches, you are out of the tournament!
  • You must win the best out of 3 battles to defeat your opponent! The higher level player should allow the lower level player to go first; if you are both the same level, decide who gets to be the most courteous and allow their opponent the initiative! In the case of a tie (1 win each), continue dueling until someone wins 2 matches in a row. Alternate who goes first between matches. If the match continues to prolong for a long time, we'll use the Poker Rules described in the previous thread. This is only to occur when the match is causing the tournament to delay too much.
  • No level restrictions. Duelists can use any level character. (Disclaimer: Participating in the tournament could mean having to face a level 20 opponent, so be prepared!).
  • No card customization restrictions. Duelists can use any CC cards they have at their disposal.

  • It is very resourceful to check the forums regularly when the tournament has begun. This will make it a lot easier for both your opponent as well as yourself when it comes to arranging duel times.
  • If you must drop out for whatever reason, please post your forfeit in the tournament thread, AND also PM Skurge so they know to update the bracket and battles list!
  • To ensure that everyone has a fair chance, ArchKnights will PM you (via Battleon Forums) to indicate that your match timer has begun.
  • When the tournament starts, players will be responsible for contacting each other (either through posts in the tournament thread or through PM's) to arrange duel times. Remember, no-shows/communcation = forfeit!

  • Make sure you post in the tournament discussion thread so we all know the results of your duel! Remember to be courteous in victory or in defeat. Post evidence of your match if you can. We all want to see! (Please read this if you don`t know how to take a screenshot and upload it to a site).

  • Although there won't be any ingame rewards for winning, the tournament champion will get a custom made avatar for a short while!
  • All Artix Entertainment Forum Rules and Oversoul General Discussion Forum Rules apply in the tournament forum threads.


  • quote:

    Quick Note:

    In order to make things a bit more clear, I'll try my best to explain some of the rules said here.

  • Timer:
    Opponents have 48 hours to arrange a duel. If there is no communication from one end of the participant, he/she will be eliminated after the specified time period. Please understand that this does not mean that you only have 2-days to complete a duel, rather, 48 hours to keep communication between yourself and your opponent. If my fellow AK's or I find that someone hasn't logged in for 2-days, that's a very clear indication that he/she is making little attempt to participate and you will be eliminated. Additionally, If I get complaints from the participants, that will also affect your position within the tournament. It's always best to update your whereabouts and keep the discussion going in the thread!

  • When a match goes too long, what happens?
    Under normal circumstances, a match may be prolonged to an insane number of duels. If that numbers reaches 7-9+, we will use the Poker Rules provided in the Sign Up thread (Special thanks to Kiyone for the great idea!). When one of the AK's sees that a duel is creating inconsistencies in the bracket, we will personally PM the participants explaining the situation. If you do not receive a PM from us, simply continue the match like normal.

  • Double Bracket:
    The bracket layout itself is finalized. We tried to work around any inconsistencies, but we felt it was best to just stick with the layout. I also mentioned that we may have a single bracket this time, but after some consultation with the community, I felt it was best to go the opposite direction this time. With only 11 participants, I want everyone to enjoy themselves and really show what it means to be a competitive OverSoul player.

  • Best out of 3! Why?:
    With the previous Tournaments, I got one too many PMs regarding the length and inconsistency of the matches. Best out of 5 creates an unnecessary amount of duels and fails to prove much. Of course, these tournaments are completely community-driven, so if you'd like to have a conversation regarding the rules, feel free to PM me or post in the Tournament Feedback Thread after the winner is announced!

    Thanks,
    Skurge
