Basic Rules- 5 man player limit (max per side)
- Best of 3
- Game and Limits:
- Siege 1000
- Annihilation 100
- CTF - 5
- Dreadnought - 30
The above must never be deviated from, or it will screw the entire tournament scoring system. 5-player limit is to accommodate chapters who do not have 6 or more members. This limit also makes the game far more intimate and tactical. Your entire chapter roster is eligible at all times to compete in the team.
Rules can be anything a chapter wishes them to be: weapon restriction, no perks, no class changing, pistols only, etc etc. Anything goes, the only thing you cannot do is force one class (eg all Tactical) because some chapters have players that only ever play a certain class.
Armour schemes are simply the chapter/warband you choose to represent. You're reverse faction armour can be whatever you want, but you must all wear the same chapter/warband colors. So if you are playing as Blood Ravens when loyalist, you must all be using Blood Raven colour schemes when loyalist, this can be a mix of DLC and custom.
Note: The team whose rules you are currently playing should be hosting that match, this is to balance out the lag-generated-advantage
DLC Note: You cannot pick a mode or map if all players do not own it!TerminologyRound: A vertical column of games on the above tournament bracket, there are 5 rounds in total
Phase: a Sub-Component of each game - Each phase is a unique game, 3 to a round
Gametypes and RulesEach team picks 1 map, 1 gametype and specifies 1 set of rules. This covers 2 of the 3 games (or phases) in a round.
The third game (or phase) is picked by the disadvantaged team, that is the loosing team after phase 1 and 2. In the event of a draw, the lowest scoring team picks.
Siege: 1 Siege Point = 1 Victory Point
Annihilation: 1 Kill = 10 Victory Points
CTF: 1 Capture = 200 Victory Points
Dreadnought: 1 D.A. Point = 34 Victory Points
Use the above to calculate total score in the event of a draw
(if you cannot clearly see who is the loosing team). The team with the lowest Victory Point score is the current loosing team.
Permanent Rules- No trash talking
- No spawn camping*
- No glitching
- No hacking - aka Trainers
* Defined as shooting into homepoints or killing when they exit. On some maps this will block heavy defense of some points (like B and C on Hab Centre).
Note: You may not shoot from the homepoint either, fair is fair.Reporting ScoresMatches must be recorded in the Challenge Forums (
link). Scores and participants should be posted in the Forum post, and agreed upon by both leaders.
Please tag the matches [Winter 2012] so I know which posts are relevant.[/b]
Only Leaders and XO's (plus nominated "Officers" as explained in Leader Council) can post in this section, this keeps it nice and tidy. Should you wish to use it, the Challenge Calender will create an instantiated thread for that game for all members of that chapter to post in. However, scores and player list will be recorded from the main thread, matches posted in other areas (such as generic Space Marine, or chapter areas) will not be counted as part of the tournament.
Please update the first post in the thread to include the following information.
If teams agree the posted scores are correct, the results will be entered into the tournament. Note that at the end of each round, Crucias will make all scores known, for the purpose of comparison and conversation, however you can make discussion threads before then if you wish, it is a social event after all.
Note on ForfeitureThis is an eye-for-an-eye tournament, should any team refuse to play by another teams game-type/rules/map then that team will take an automatic loss
for that phase only. If they were to have won the other phase, that would create a draw, in this case, the non-forfeiting team picks the ruletype again; however, they must not pick the same (identical) combination which caused the original forfeit, they can however choose some parts of it.
Also, refusing to play any other chapter for whatever reason constitutes an automatic loss. Since pairings are controlled by the Umpire, everyone will play everyone else at least once.
If a team forfeits too many times they will be dishonorably discharged from the tournament. It's a game, and you are all expected to show good sportsmanship. What constitutes "too many times" will be judged on a case by case basis, and then peer reviewed before action taken.
Limits on EntryOnly people who have been banned, are currently suspended, or have a pending suspension from Gothic Wars may not enter this competition. Also, players may not mercenary, if you play for one team, and then feature on the roster for another, then the second team would be automatically disqualified. So, Leaders please be careful with chapter transfers throughout this tournament!
Again, please record the players who participated (for both teams) in each phase in the thread, both for the purpose of maintaining rules, but also so I can construct a good snapshot of how teams are doing, and who to look out for in later rounds.
Prize (Gothic Wars Only)Aside from bragging right that is!
First Place: Purity Seal on Chapter Banner
Second Place: Service Stud on Chapter Banner
If it's possible to change prizes for the better, then we will.
