Skurge -> =OS= Fifth PvP Elemental Tournament: Sign Up Thread! (5/21/2014 21:29:05)
|
Greetings and welcome to the Fifth Oversoul Forums Tournament!
So.. Water you doing you may ask? Well, you may want to grab your fish hooks and sea your way to the nearest Grotto to krill some monsters - in less cringe worthy words, it's Water!
Nasty puns aside, it is advised you 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:
-- Best out of five battles - Matches will be comprised out of five duals, not three. Yes, water elements tend to heal a lot, but at the same time, we want to remove any possibility of a lucky win. Only the strongest get to win!
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 five duels with the same opponent. If you lose two matches, you are out of the tournament!
You must win the best out of five 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 (two wins each), continue dueling until someone wins two 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 WATER. If your character is listed under "Water" in the Characters List in-game, it qualifies for this tournament!
No level restrictions. Duelists may use characters of any level. (Disclaimer: Tournament participation could mean facing off against a Level 20 opponent, so be prepared!).
No card customization restrictions. Duelists can use any CC cards they have at their disposal.
Seven day period for players to sign up, starting from the time stamp shown in the first post of the sign-up thread.
For registration to be valid, players must make a post including their in-game name as well as their Timezone (roughly)! If you do not know which time zone you are in, a general geographic location would be helpful (e.g. Europe, Australia, Central US, Land of Purple Doom, 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 seven day sign-up period the thread will be locked and you will not be able 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 forfeiture in the tournament thread, AND also PM me ( Skurge) so they know to update the bracket and battles list!
To ensure that everyone has a fair chance, ArchKnights will PM you (via the 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 PMs) to arrange duel times. Duels must be carried out within 48 hours of the challenges being given. Remember, no-shows = forfeiture!
Please ensure you post the results of your duel in the tournament thread! 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 guide 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 in-game! Just bragging right on the forums; which is just as good, eh?
All =AE= Comprehensive Forum Rules and =OS= Oversoul General Discussion Forum Rules apply in the tournament forum threads.
Once again, this tournament's element is WATER. So get ready to splish, splash, and sploosh your way to victory! Sign up now!
