IMPORTANT: SOME RULES HAVE BEEN CHANGED SINCE THE LAST TOURNAMENT.
If you are interested in participating in the Clan Tournament, please make sure to READ THESE RULES!
- The tournament will be single-elimination style, as pictured above. Starting brackets will be assigned randomly. Winners of the 2 Semi-Finals will play each other in the Final Round to determine 1st and 2nd Place. Losers of the 2 Semi-Finals will play each other in the 3rd Place Playoff to determine 3rd and 4th Place.
- Clans who wish to participate in the tournament may register a team roster of up to 10 regular members + 5 alternates by posting in this thread using the form below. The deadline for entry is the 2/17 scheduled maintenance (0:00 midnight PST). Once this deadline has passed, changes to team rosters may no longer be made. When conducting matches, only players on each clan's team roster may participate; players not included on the registered 15 person team roster will not be allowed to play, even if they are members of the competing clan. This is in order to avoid any allegations of team stacking. We highly suggest that all clans who wish to participate register a full 15 members, as we will not allow unregistered alternates to take the place of regular members who fail to show up.
- Up to 16 clans may participate. If more than 16 clans apply, the 16 applicant clans with the highest Union Wars CP contribution as of the 2/17 scheduled maintenance will be given priority (In order to view the Clan Contribution Ranking, click on Show Details from the Channel Select screen). CP from this week, as well as CP from next week (up until the 2/17 deadline) will be counted, so make sure to play lots of Union Wars with your clan mates in order to ensure that your clan gets a place in the competition!
- Matches will be 10 vs. 10, and will be held in special password protected clan fight rooms. All participating clans should plan ahead to make sure that all of their members are available and on time to matches. We will not postpone or reschedule matches due to any scheduling conflicts on the part of clan members, and matches will be played even if one team has a numerical disadvantage.
- In order to ensure that matches begin smoothly, teams should complete all customizations, commando changes, and other such adjustments before hand. We ask that all participating players kindly refrain from opening the garage while waiting in the clan fight room.
- Once clan members have entered a room, that room's password will be announced globally in order to allow spectators.
- As shown on the chart above, Blocks A and B will play on 2/18, Blocks C and D will play on 2/25, and the Semi-Finals, 3rd Place Playoff, and Final Round will be held 2 weeks later, on 3/11. This delay is due to the fact that CyberStep is attending GDC in San Francisco, and will thus be unable to run the Finals on 3/4. The tournament starting time for all three days will be 6:00 PM, Pacific Standard Time (a.k.a. Server Time). Current PST/Server Time is displayed on the top of the main CB website, as well as on the in-game clock.
- Clans wishing to participate should fill out the application form below and have a clan member post it in this thread. Application rosters may be modified and reposted up until the 2/17 deadline. When filling out the roster, please use the IN-GAME PLAYER NAMES of your clan's members. Note that in-game names may be different than Community forum nicknames.
- The first regular member listed on the roster will be responsible for receiving room passwords from GMs during the tournament and passing them along to other members via clan chat, etc. If the first member becomes unavailable for whatever reason, passwords will be sent to the second member down on the list, and so-on.
--------RT PRIZES--------
Rt prizes will be distributed as follows. Rt prizes are for registered Clan Tournament participants only.
- A 300 Rt 1st Place Prize will be given to each member of the 1st Place clan who participated in at least one Clan Tournament match.
- A 150 Rt 2nd Place Prize will be given to each member of the 2nd Place clan who participated in at least one Clan Tournament match.
- A 10 Rt Participation Prize will be given to all players who participate in at least one Clan Tournament match.
*Note: There is no special Rt prize for 3rd Place other than the participation prize.
--------JOINT PART PRIZES--------
Joint Part Prizes will be distributed as follows to all members of the top 3 clans, including members who do not participate in the tournament. A tally of all participating clans' members will be taken as of the 2/17 entry deadline; only players who are members of their clan at this time will be eligible to win Joint Part Prizes. (Example: If Clan A wins the tournament, all players who were members of Clan A as of 2/17 will receive pennants, but players who joined Clan A after that date will not receive pennants.)
