1. When does it start?
Qualifier Date: Nov 29th but signups are open till Dec 6th - https://discord.com/events/1083437281756594216/1310252796507062292
Playoffs: Dec 14th at 17:00 CEWT (Central European Winter Time) - https://discord.com/events/1083437281756594216/1310253308585443410
WARNING: THIS IS NOT 17:00 IN YOUR LOCAL TIME. For a timezone conversion, look at the Discord events as linked.
2. Who can join?
Anyone can join regardless of skill level. Divisions split in 3 skill levels.
3. What is the format?
Victory Point Control: 500 VPs
Starting Location: Random
Resources: Standard
- The tournament will be played in the 1 v 1
- The tournament will be played on the current patch at the day
- Qualifier BO3, Playoffs BO5
- By public vote, there will be a maximum of 8 matches per division and player. If a division has 10 or more players, the Qualifier is split into 2 groups.
- Little less then half of the active players but maximum 8 will reach playoffs of a division
- A player counts as active, if they played at least half their matches
- This is evaulated per group. So if one group ends up with 9 active players, it will send 4 to the playoffs and one with 5 active players will send 2 to the playoffs
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 winner to contact the organizer regarding scores after all sets of a match conclude.
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 regard 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
- every player is limited to the 5 heroes he picked on signup
- /flip in Discord "map-and-coin roller"-channel
- map vetoes may be placed after a map is rolled but not after the first pick went in
- winner of coin flip starts picking race (not a hero) and announces it in the in-game chat
- the one who follows picks a hero for himself and announces it in the in-game chat
- the race picker may change his hero within race
- any hero can only be played once per match and player (unless random)
- any player can veto a hero after the other one called race or hero. Even after the first pick locks the hero.
- If it limits the race player to one remaining hero, he is allowed to switch race and pick another hero. If that was his last on this race, he needs to switch race.
- Random can't be vetoed, but Random players need to anounce their hero at game start (before the first unit starts capping a point)
- while map veto is permanent, hero veto only lasts one map
- overall, one hero and map veto per player and match
- who ever lost the last game can decide who picks first (race) and who second (hero) 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 (Playoffs)
- 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
