The 3rd Beginners MRT (hosted by me and the Elite Begginers)

[Swift]

Sorry Cheah. You also have nearly 700 hours.

[Cheah18]

I'd actually considered myself a beginner, but I'm flattered haha.

Count me out then

[Swift]

You would actually be the 16th and final player if i allowed you . We don't all win.

[Swift]

Still looking for a sixteenth player for the tournament.

Also, for all of you in the tournament, I need to contact you all to confirm that you know your instructions and what not. You can add me on Steam through the Elite Beginners group and we can talk that way or I will pm you on the forums.

If we enter do we have to ref for other games or can we enter just as a player?
Also was there anything I missed?

I am sorry, but you will be on the waiting list as although your post comes before the one below, they contacted me on steam immeadiatly with details. Whilst I would love you to play, it isn't possible.

If you want to ref/host please do.

Brackets and final rules will be posted later today. Until they are posted sign up is open.

I am still waiting on confirmation and rules discussion with the following players:
-Sir Christof the Improper
-otown
-Commissar Dzemo
-Death Marine Primarch
-Even TGZero, since I sure my rules are different to his

Good luck with the tournament.

[ChrisNihilus]

I'm Sir Christof the Improper, Master of the Pink Bloodletters.

What kind of confirmation do you need?

[Swift]

Christof, add me on steam, it is would help a lot. All I need to do is discuss rules.

[Swift]

Brackets are up for Beginner's tournament #3.

I will be posting further player and referee rules tomorrow.

[ChrisNihilus]

Cool!

If I beat my first opponent i will have a rematch with either Atlas or Otown, both my opponents in the last tournament.

[Swift]

I am I getting a sense of nostalgia, or rivalry?

[ChrisNihilus]

They are friends, so it's all in good sport.

Atlas and I promise each other to try and win until we face each other for an epic rematch.

Last time we did some very good games, in which i won 2-1, but were always very close.

[Swift]

I look forward to seeing your games then.

I know you were confused when I said confirmation, but what I mean I need to discuss how to report scores, submit replays etc. it is just a short thing and the reason for talking individually is so that I know you all understand. I will be posting all of the rules on this thread a little later.

Yeah man let's have a good, clean sweep of the tourney and I'll see ya at the finals.
And then....

[Swift]

Commissar Dzemo and otown have yet to confirm their places so this post is directed at them. Contact me please, I need to discuss some final rules with you.

[Dzemo778]

Ohh sorry, I did not pay attention to this Thread after applying. Of course I'm confirming if its still possible. Ill contact you on steam when you will be online.

The tournament begins tomorrow at 7:00pm GMT. I will be posting certain tournament guidelines in this post:

For the players:
-You must be in the Elite Beginners group chat before the tournament and throughout the tournament's duration. This is so scores can be recorded in one space and they are easy for me to look at as it won't be a string of new tabs for me to check all of the time.

-To record the score you must tell me who won the game you just played e.g. Marutectz vs TGZero 1/0. Report in a way that is suitable for me to understand who played and who took that game.

-Most importantly, You must save the replay. This must be done for validity reasons as without a replay I can only assume the match never happened therefore cannot be scored. To save the replay press the save replay button and name it suitably. I have provided a guideline of how to name it for this process: BMRT#3 PlayerX vs PlayerY Game 1/2/3. For example, BMRT#3 Marutectz vs TGZero Game 1. This a good thing to follow because I will know which game is which.

-To retrieve replays outside of the game, go to: My Documents/My Games/Dawn of War II Retribution/Playback. The file will be in there with an automatically assigned name. Search for the file by date and time, so you need to know when it happened. Do not alter the name, it makes ranking them confusing, I just need to know where they are from in you email. To send them to me, attach them in an email to:

swiftsabre28@gmail.com (no spam please, a big ask I know, but I don't like it).

Instructions to Streamers/hosts:
-Please ensure that players obey rules and save replays. It is not the host/streamer's job to save replays/submit scores, so prompt the players to do so. If a player accidentally continues and no one has saved, remember you can always alter the name of the temp.rec file to get it.

-You must also contact me if things have gone wrong.

On other notes:
-NegrQdamus has dropped out, so Azurand will need to take his place (I have informed him, but he has not responded).

-I don't have enough streamers! So far I have Codex, with Nurland possibly co casting, Slaaneshi has been asked but not confirmed, Milty has been requested but not confirmed, Vocaloid has unfortunately dropped in favour of education, and I am informed that Crazyman has been asked, but there is nothing from him so far.

Sounds bleak, but it will work.

If there are any problems with this post or things you do not understand, please respond.

[Swift]

Tournament streamers and games.
The first round of the tournament will be split into two parts, with four match ups going on, followed by the next set of four match ups.

First round (first four player groups):
- Codex: TGZero vs Vandrar
- Crazyman64335: Dark Shadow vs Death Marine Primarch
- ReaverFeaver (New World Order ): Marutectz vs Atlas
- Unconfirmed streamer: Azurand vs Crimson Crusader666

First round (second four player groups):
- Codex: CorbecJayne vs Commissar Dzemo
- Crazyman64335: otown vs Andric
- ReaverFeaver (New World Order ): big blue doggy vs Sir Christof the Improper
- Unconfirmed streamer: Ummm... vs PunishTheNoob

These are the assigned games for the streamers. It would be nice if we could get some cocasters out to spice things up a bit. There is one space left for a streamer to join, and so far it is a possibility that Slaaneshi Cacophony will be taking that spot, though there are others who may take it instead.

Streamers can contact me over Steam if they want to confirm things.
