---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT UPDATES:
Round One matches should be completed June 12th @ 2PM EST
Tournament has started! (06/05/15)
Signups are now closed! (06/05/15)
Rule 4 has been updated; Round One has been extended to a one week duration, games in this round must be completed by noon Friday June 12th. After round one we will revert to the 3 day limit on each round.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the "back 9" of the season. Things are tight at the top of the leader board and with 3 rounds left to play and lots of points left to hand out I expect some crazy shit to go down.
As always, if you haven't played in rounds 1-3 feel free to signup for this round (or any of the next ones as well. There's still lots of points on the table, you'll get to add some good players to your friends list and hopefully have some fun just playing the game.
If something isn't clear in the rules please ask. In the end it'll be my interpretation that matters so ask now and there won't be any surprises.
The Tournament Rules
1. Tournament structure is single elimination.
2. All rounds are best of 5.
3. Decks can be modified between all matches. Please try to limit the amount of time you spend modifying your deck, it really shouldnt take longer than 5 minutes.
4. Round One will last 7 days, after which every round advancement is 72 hours from the completion of the previous round. Three days should be more than enough time to play your games, I know shit happens, but if you contact your opponent on the first day things should work themselves out. Please dont put me in a position to make a call on who advances without actually having a match played.
5. All games must be played on North America server.
6. A match draw will be considered a victory by both players. If this causes their bracket series to end in a draw a single tie breaker will decide the winner.
7. If its been determined that a player knowingly went against any tournament rule they may be disqualified from the tournament.
8. Previously disqualified or problematic players may be refused entry into future tournaments.
9. Results must be posted in this thread by the winner. It hasnt been an issue in the past, but Id obviously recommend taking a screenshot of the match result, or even better record the match.
10. Entries must be submitted by Thursday June 4th midnight EST. To enter just post your BattleNet ID in this thread along with your chosen classes.
11. First cards can be played Friday, June 5th at 2:00PM EST (or whenever the bracket goes up) As rounds progress feel free to contact your next opponent once your match for the next round has been posted
12. Battle Net down time greater than 12 hours will extend round advancement 24 hours.
13. Rules are subject to change.
14. The next tournament is will be scheduled to begin the fourth Friday from the completion of this tournament. I'll post the date in this thread once the tournament is over. The thread will go up one week in advance with signups closing midnight Thursday before the tournament starts. Obviously, this is subject to change, depending on scheduling conflicts
15. Points will be awarded to all tournament players and will be based on their tournament finish as ranked by the Challonge website. Point structure can be found here
16. When players tie in tournament rankings, points for all tied player positions will be pooled and distributed evenly amongst the tied players rounding down to the nearest half point.
17. The first season will comprise of six tournaments, with the top six players based on point standings receiving invites to an invitational tournament.
18. In the event a player is unable to accept their invite to the final tournament the next player in the point standings will be given an invitation.
19. In order to participate in the season tournaments and invitational final you must be a NeoGAF member with posting privileges. If you're in the top six when the finals come around and your account is banned, your invitation will be given to another player.
20. Any round bys will be given to the seasons point leaders, any additional bys will be determined by RNG.
21. Any players tied in the season point standings at the start of the round will have their tournament seed determined by RNG.
22. Prizes will be awarded for each tournament and are distributed via Payal .
23. This months special rule:
Last Hero Standing
Before the tournament sign-up cutoff time (Thursday June 4th midnight EST) each player must submit three heroes that they will use throughout the tournament. Each round will start with a player selecting one of their three submitted heroes to play. When a player loses a game that hero can no longer be used for the remaining games in the round. The winning player is free to switch heroes if they wish to do so.
If anyone is planning on streaming or recording their matches and wants to share, post the links and I'll update the OP with your information. I'd certainly be interesting in watching a few of the games and I'm sure others would as well. If youre in the finals and are not able to stream or capture I may ask that the two players who make the finals add me as friends on Battle.net so I can capture on this end. This is just a request so if youre not comfortable with me capturing your game or dont want me as a friend then feel free to say no.
