This tournament has been canceled. Not enough participants showed up (minimum of 8)
AoAReplays.com is proud to announce Act of Dominance #3 ! This tournament is to start Sunday November 22nd at 14:00 GMT. This time around it will not be our standard Single elimination, but a Swiss system tournament.
Swiss system tournament, what is that you might ask? It is quite simple. Players are matched against each other based on their current score, so you always face a player of the same skill as yours. There is a predetermined number of rounds. Players never face the same opponent twice. So basically it comes down to more equal matches and joy for everyone that participates!
More information about the Swiss tournament system can be found here or here .
