Newbvember Cup

[FuFuSchmeri]

This is a tourney for newbies and very casual players that are around beginner and initiate level. It is leaning towards the rules that are used for full fledged 1v1 tourneys, but tries to keep thing a little easier with no vetos and some hero replayability. gl hf!

Short "What to do?" Summary for the lazy People:
- you tell me by DM, ping in discord or post here that you want to join - if your name is in the brackets, it was noted
- you check in 60 to 15 min before the cup (tell me or a co-organizer in discord or steam that you will actually be there or how late you will be)
- I'll reshuffle the brackets from 15 min to 0 min before the cup
- you find your oponent (discord event-chat) and make a lobby for the BO3 series and start esl
- you roll the map in discord (all maps are rolled)
- you flip a coin in discord "map-and-coin-roller" channel. The winner picks first in game one (the winner can't decide if he wants to be first or second pick)
- the player who picks first now picks and anounces his hero
- stomp, chop, shoot
- looser of the last game can decide who has to pick first next game
- if you win a BO3 you go to the next round, if you loose you go to loosers bracket and advance or drop out to finally watch some stream in peace

3. What is the format?

Starting Location: Random
Resources: Standard
- The tournament will be played in the 1 v 1 double elimination format.
- The tournament will be played on the current patch at the day of the cup.
- BO3


4. When does a game count?
- Contact the organizer asap if there is any trouble.
1/ Both players have to use the ESL Reporter (or save the replay and agree that this was the game in question, replay save and share is mandatory if you have an esl block active - looking at you Inekura and Bloodra1N!).
2/ Both players type L within the first minute. If an admin is present then 1 player typing L is enough.
3/ Players should contact each other and host the room.
- Organizing is done at "event-chat" channel of DoWII: Elite Mod Community Discord.
4/ It is the duty of the winning player to contact the organizer regarding scores after all sets of a match conclude. They are to be posted in event-chat.
5/ There is a possibility no referees are available so I expect each player to know the rules by his or her heart.
6/ It would be great if observer slots can help out players in game lobby in regards to rules.

5. Maps & hero picks.
- !fufuroll in Discord "map-and-coin roller"-channel to get the map (all games unless players just agree on one)
- any map can only be played once per match
- /flip in Discord "map-and-coin roller"-channel
- The winner of the coin flip starts picking (announces hero in the in-game chat)
- any hero can only win once per match and player (unless random)
- who ever lost the last game can decide who picks first and who second for the next map


6. Punishment for Not playing in time/Disconnections/Tardiness/Toxicity (what is wrong with you guys? smh)

Disconnections
- Both players may agree on a rematch
- If they don't, the default would be a loss for the offender
- The offender only gets a rematch, if he was ahead by the standards of a referee
- When the organizer or the referee deems there are too many rematches to the point it is delaying the tournament severely, a special rule is introduced to speed up the progress. The offender loses disconnected/dropped game. ESL reporter replays are used as a proof.

Tardiness
- In case of tardiness, the organizer waits for the player as long as possible until the point is reached when awaiting further will result in delaying the progress of the tournament. If the offender does not arrive before reaching that point of no return, he or she is eliminated from the tournament or replaced by a backup.

Toxicity
- no bodily harm threats and racial/heritage insults
