UT4 CTF FACTIONS.I (October 25th, 2015)

[PACO]

Dear OwnedWellians,

I am pleased to announce our very first UT4 Pre-Alpha Tournament: CTF FACTIONS. The premise of the tournament is that people will be able to form their own teams however their will be some restrictions in place to prevent stacked teams. We will be running tournaments with no restrictions as the playerbase grows.

How do I play?
Join the tournament, get rated and then either join or form a team.

What day is the tournament?
Sunday October 25th, 2015. The tournament will tentatively start at 4pm EST. It is a one day tournament and we will use a single elimination bracket.

How will I be rated?
You must have at least three pugs played in #ut4pugs to be eligible to play in this tournament and your rating will be determined by active players and admins. It is the first tournament and we will do our best to assess skill levels as best as we can.

Miscellaneous Information:
-We will be aiming for a minimum of 8 teams however we can extend the bracket to allow for a play-in round earlier in the day. Team signups will be first come first serve.
-The maplist will likely be: Azcanize, Cynosure, Grendelkeep, Pistola, TitanPass and the matches will be bo3.
-The games will be played on the OwnedWell NA East server however we will be running European tournaments as well in the near future.

Questions/Comments/Concerns?
Ask away.

***TOURNAMENT UPDATE***

We are pushing it back a week to allow for more time to promote and organize the event. We will be keeping the action going on Sundays leading up to the event and expect a promo video by early next week. October 25th, 2015 is the official day.

Rankings and ratings will start Monday October 12th and the pug requirements will be in play before people are assigned a rank.

Apologies to anyone who this might inconvenience.

Is the site wide cheating policy set to be released prior to the competition? As referenced in the thread about ut99 bans.

Sundays for the foreseeable future are going to be fairly busy. Is there anyway to maybe have some of these events on Saturdays? I mean for God's sakes Paco just because you watch the other football doesn't mean we should suffer

At least could we have a vote?

Have you thought of doing an availability list or finding out who would prefer what? It may be possible that more people would sign up if we were doing this on a Saturday.

What day are the rankings coming out? Would be nice to start getting teams formed and rosters finalized a little bit before game day ya?

[banks334]

Sunday has historically been the most active day of the week. Only a handful of players cite football as a reason they wont show on Sunday.

Rankings have been posted by several people. I know at least a few of the captains already have an idea of who their team is going to be.

[gKi]

I registered and signed up, however don't see my name on the participants list. Does it generally update every 24 hours? Or will players be hand selected?
