EBO June Team Tournament

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Last year I had an abortive attempt at getting a team tournament up and running. Safe to say, it didn't work out so well. I'm going to give this another shot since we have had some requests for fitting 2v2's and 3v3's into a tournament context.

Rules would be thus:
1. Players are limited to 1 faction choice through the entire month, just as in the 1v1 tourney. However you can pick a different faction from your 1v1 tournament if you'd wish.
2. The match would have to be accepted as a tournament match by all players as to be fair.
3. Signups would be on the forum but walk-ins throughout the month will be accepted.
4. Players are not limited to teammates, rather anyone can team with anyone. Players will be required to police this themselves so as to prevent abuses but I think the community as a whole is honest and not too concerned with titles.
5. Points will be awarded like this: Each victorious team a player is a part of earns +1 points for him individually. Each losing team he is a part of earns -1 points.
6. The winners will be based on point total, or theoretically, we can have a final match up in the last week between the 1st through 4th best players for the month. Logistically this may be tricky however so I'm still not sold on that.
7. Replays will be required from the winning side to prove their valor in battle!

Thanks and see you on Hamachi!

Sauromatae

Will be nice playing with gamegeek for a change, you dont show up often.

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

He's here a lot. You are just in the middle of Arabian Nights when he comes to play.

[Kival]

So we will have fluid teams? Hm...

[The Celtic Viking]

Don't worry, Kival: there is one whom you can always put your faith in...

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Well if you'd prefer fixed teams that is fine. I'm ok with doing the initial tournament either way. From my personal perspective I just feel as if due to player availability during certain hours, the same matchups will be constantly happening. Also, this does not allow for 3v3's or the rare 4v4 from factoring into a tournament context. But let me know people! This is a democracy and everyone has a say.

[Arjos]

With fluid teams I can't see why 3v3s and 4v4s should be excluded :)

[vartan]

Dare I say this is starting to sound more exciting than Blizzard's latest game...

[capomafioso]

put me down as averni please

[Yavana]

Dare I say this is starting to sound more exciting than Blizzard's latest game...

I completely agree with you!
BTW Does anybody know what happened to that lil shak kiddo?

[Arjos]

BTW Does anybody know what happened to that lil shak kiddo?

ODed poor lad, we warned him countless times :P

[Yavana]

ODed?;o
You mean he overdosed eb or was he an actual junkie?;o Too bad either way I liked him...

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Yeah I was a little unclear. I meant that with set teams you couldn't use 3v3's or 4v4's. With open teams, all levels of team battles become a possibility.

[Kival]

ODed?;o

He has been very busy and I suppose it's still that. But I'll try to ask him to come back for this tourney.

[Yavana]

That would be great :D

[lmt96]

PS (Pre-script :D):I lol'd at the OD joke :D
Sign me up as Getai.

[vartan]

I completely agree with you!

He's most certainly not 'lil' neither a 'kiddo', haha. He's a good lad. I do hope he can make it this time around.
