Skurge -> =OS= Fourth PvP Elemental Tournament - Signup here! (11/21/2013 20:20:25)
|
Greetings and welcome to the Fourth Oversoul Forums Tournament! Get ready for a rocky ride because it's all about the EARTH!
What is it again? Well, we thought it might be a nice idea to hold a PvP tournament on the forums in the spirit of fun and sportsmanship. So, carefully read all the information below before deciding to post and participate!
We've taken in the feedback from the previous tournament and will try some different things this time around, and hopefully things will run smoother. The changes are:
1 -- Best out of three battles - Matches will be comprised out of three duels, not five.
2 -- Countdown Timers - Countdown timers will be provided per match so that you know how much time you have left to duel. [e.g: http://countingdownto.com/countdown/416085]
3 -- Timezone-matched Tourney start - After generating the matches with a random number generator, we will try to correct for timezone differences as much as possible, so your first match will be with someone who is in a timezone closer to you.
GENERAL TOURNAMENT RULES AND GUIDELINES
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.
Duelists must use only characters of the element the tournament's theme is. In this case, this means EARTH. If your character is listed under "Earth" in the Characters List in-game, it qualifies for this tournament!
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.
Five day period for players to sign up, starting from the time stamp shown in the first post of the sign-up thread.
For a valid sign-up, players must make a post including their in-game name as well as your (roughly) Timezone! If you do not know what time zone you are in, just a general continent would be helpful (exp; North America, Europe, East Asia, Narnia, etc.) Please do not post your actual address or zip code or even state! We only need to know enough for match-making, nothing else.
After the 5 days sign-up period the thread will be locked and you can't sign up anymore.
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 either Skurge or Beck 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. Duels must be carried out within 48 hours of the challenges being given. Remember, no-shows = 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).
Once more, please remember that since this is a Forum Based Tournament, the winner will not be getting any recognition or perks ingame! Just bragging right on the forum.
All Artix Entertainment Forum Rules and Oversoul General Discussion Forum Rules apply in the tournament forum threads.
This tournament's element is EARTH. So get ready to rock and roll your way to victory! Sign up now!
