Important: Upload mode has to be on!
Rules:
Gentool version 8.6 + Upload mode ON = Mandatory!
All replays most be uploaded here, no replays = no win.
Fair Play Rules and Standard Tournament Rules apply.
Banned and Suspended Participants are not allowed to sign up.
The Hosts reserve the right to deny a player from signing up for the tournament.
Arrangement topic is leading in determining effort to play, arrange or confirm arranged matches there (once available).
Any player exceeding a deadline date will be disqualified (DQ), unless of extremely apparent reasons.
Tourney done via Challonge Single (17 players or more) or Double (up to 16 players) Elimination
MU table in use, see attachment
MU points to be inserted in Challonge, not normal scores. So if set is First to 15 points, the player with 15 points or more, wins the set. Means it it can go 20:5 for example.
First map is a pre-defined one, after that loser can pick the map. No map should played twice.
Players can choose army they want to play. Can also go Random if they like. MU table kinda balances this out if you get a weak army by giving less points for a win.
E.G.: You can pick China vs China and get 6 points for the win. There is no rule that specific mu are blocked in any way. You can't pick china vs china more than once but have to pick another one between your choices.
If both players can't agree on their respective army or matchup:
You start with a China V mirror in the first game to make it balanced and after the first game and if you can't agree in the following games then loser always has the right to pick the matchup.
If both players can't agree on their respective army:
First Round: You start with a China V mirror, then loser picks matchup vice versa.
Second Round: You start with GLA Tox Mirror, then loser picks matchup vice versa.
Third Round: You start with Air Mirror, then loser picks matchup vice versa.
Fourth Round: You start with Tank Mirrow, then loser picks matchup vice versa.
Games for third place and finals: You start with GLA Stealth Mirrow, then loser picks matchup vice versa. [/b]
No random reverse!
Maps can't be picked twice for a variaty of maps played


• Our Fair Play Rules apply. Placing scaffolds beyond their intended purpose to build and complete the structures are not allowed with the exception of:
  • Removing GLA scraps at any time and any location on the map
  • Blocking vehicles from running over GLA workers within close proximity of the GLA supply
  • Forcing guarding enemy air units within close scaffold proximity to shoot onto the ground
  • Placing for survival purposes to keep units alive but not interfering with enemy units or buildings
  • Placing within own base proximity at start of match to trick opposing waypoint scouting efforts
• Livestreams mandatory for semi-finals and finals.
• If any player is suspended for whatever reason at any time during the tournament, even if its for 1 day, he will be disqualified from the tournament.
  
  If the game mismatches or someone disconnects, the game will have to be re-played unless there was a clear winner at the point of disconnection/crash/mismatching. In this case that player will be awarded the victory. If you are unable to agree on this, upload the replay and a tournament referee will decide.

Because I am stupid I have called the free tickets "Freilos". This is just German. Getting old as it seems.
If you have a free ticket in the first round feel free to arrange your games with the opponent in the second round.
Please don't play further than the first two rounds without asking for permission.

P.S.: Good luck beating Mara @NickName. Haha

Sure, put me up vs Marakar

I can play almost daily (not today) after 18GMT. Weekends more flexible (let's say between 9-19GMT).



Biased host, put me up vs Freilos pls

Freilos - I like this word^^

At first I wanted to give you NickName. But that would be the biggest Freilos
In case someone is wondering:

I have used the random generator from Challonge and put NickName between Excal and Marakar. Thought that would be fair.

Wow what a draaaaaaaaaaaaaw !!!
Big relax we can talk in discord
RIP Nickname
RIP king toxic

Welcome all!

This is quite a test baloon for a MU table tournament.

We can change the amount of MU points required at certain points. It might cause some drama, we'll see.
Also if someone wants to play his army, you are invited to pick it!

A new map will be thrown into the pool once ready. If you wanna test feel free and give support.

Also we will take away 2 "Freilos" for eventual late coming players up to Friday 16 UTC.

I am keen to know which maps are your favorites. Hope to see more variations.

Have fun!

@ Lifttruck: We will find a time for our games!

Mr. Nickname lets play Friday 10GMT

Also Mr.Nickname, explain to me the rules and format

And to me its hard and complicated turni

This is a joke, right?
It is really easy.
You get points based on matchups.
You pick a matchup ( china vs air) and will get 6 points if you win it with china. If you lose it the opponent gets the equivalent of points ( e.g. 2 points).
First to reach the points needed is the winner.

Sadly, my weekend doesn't start that early Saturday/Sunday is my weekend, Friday I can do after 18GMT.

Btw, nub host: First map is a pre-defined one

Maybe define the maps?

Not gonna say something to you here. Big old nub.

Dammit Excal. All right, gotcha.

Marakar, hope you are good with China/tox, swg/afg, tank/inf

I see a lot of discussions in regard to the table incoming as well as a lot of army switching ingame.

We'll see!

I thought china vs air is 10 points
So if i win china vs air and china tox i won the set?

I made an example with the points. You can find the proper points in the table ( first post, biiiig picture, many colours).

You can choose China as a first army and your opponent can choose air.
You win.
You get 10 points.

Now he picks USA and you pick nuke.
You win.
You get 10 points.

You won the first round.

Both give you 10 points and would be enough to win the first Round, yes.

Any win with a weaker army against a stronger one gives you more points.

You could also play vChina throughout if you like and if you win, you get a lot points.

Anyway, I doubt that this will always be the case that someone gets 9 or 10 points.

Isn't it that player A picks the first matchup (his own army and army of his opponent?

That is what I understood from the rules:



Because I need some very imba MUs to get on the scoreboard

This is just a guidance. If both sides agree to play China vs Tox and then Air vs Nuke: Go for it.

But if both players can't choose an army and discuss -> Top player can start telling a matchup.

I thoght this would be clear.

Made it even more clear in the rules.
