LAN Double Elimination Matches, reducing number of teams from 8 to 1
Compliance with all general rules and game-specific rules of the event are a mandatory condition of participation in The NVIDIA Championships at QuakeCon 2006.
1.1 Registration:
Roster Requirements, Required Player Information, Wait Listed Teams, and Team Substitutions
There are openings for sixteen (16), five player teams in this competition. All teams will be registered onsite on Thursday August 3rd, 2006 between 8:00AM and 8:00PM. Registration is First Come First Served.
A single representative for a team may register all team members; all members need not be present for registration:
Minimum Roster Size: 5 players
Maximum Roster Size: 7 players
Wait-Listed Teams:
Wait listed teams are not guaranteed a position in the tournament in any way. Wait-listed teams are encouraged to keep in touch with Tournament Staff to ensure their opportunity to compete.
Substituting Teams:
If a team is removed from the competition during the first round, a wait-listed team may be selected by Tournament Officials to replace them. This is not grounds for a challenge or dispute of any kind.
1.2 Tournament Structure:
The Enemy Territory Tournament will be a double-elimination competition. All teams begin in the winner's bracket. The winning teams from the first round will continue in the winner's bracket - the defeated teams will be placed into the loser's bracket. This continues until only two teams remain - one from the winner's bracket, and one in the loser's bracket.
1.3 Seeding:
Seeding will be decided by the tournament staff based upon, but not limited to, prior tournament records, or online leagues.
1.4 Match Format:
Matches will be played in the Stopwatch game mode, in an ABBA format. Two stopwatch sets will be played. The higher seeded team will attack first.
Stopwatch set 1 (AB):
Team A attacks and sets goal time. Team B then attempts to beat the time.
Stopwatch set 2 (BA):
Team B attacks and sets goal time. Team A then attempts to beat the time.
The set winner will be awarded 3 points. The loser will get no points. Should there be a full-hold (neither team completes their objectives in the maximum time), each team will be awarded one point.
Possible Outcomes:
1 ) Team A wins both sets
Team A: 6 points
Team B: 0 points
2 ) Team A wins 1 set, teams tie second set (full hold)
Team A: 4 points
Team B: 1 point
3 ) Team A wins 1 set, team B wins 1 set
Team A: 3 points
Team B: 3 points
4 ) Teams tie both sets
Team A: 2 points
Team B: 2 points
In example 1 and 2, Team A wins.
In example 3 and 4, tiebreaker rules would go into effect.
Tiebreaker Rules : One AB set will be played. A coin toss will be conducted to decide which team gets the option to attack or defend. The winner of the coin toss may concede the option to their opponent. The result of this round will decide the outcome of the match. Should the round be tied again, a BA set will be played. If the match is still tied, a coin toss will be conducted to choose the winner.
1.5 Tournament Maps:
The following maps will be available for ALL rounds of the Enemy Territory 5v5 Tournament. Maps will be decided by the participants from the list below. The attacking team for the set will decide which map will be played.
Map Name: braundorf b4, radar, reactor_final, battery, supply, depot2, sp_delivery, sw_goldrush_te.
* Radar: command "forcecvar r_drawfoliage 0"
Enemy Territory Tiebreaker Map Selection:
The tiebreaker map for Enemy Territory matches will be selected as follows: The two maps played in the first two rounds are removed from the map pool. Each team then is allowed to throw out two maps each - one at a time. The remaining map is the map to be played in the tiebreaker.
1.6 Scheduling
The times for each match in the winners and losers bracket will be posted and will not be changed or modified due to non-official tournament problems. This includes if your team or individuals are scheduled in other tournaments, are late or have transportation problems. If a team does not show within 15 minutes of the time scheduled for their match, the team will forfeit that match. Seeding and scheduling will be done at the sole discretion of the Tournament Officials. Failure to comply will result in immediate removal from the tournament.
In the losers bracket there may be an instance of a team having to play back to back matches during the tournament.
Due to unforeseen on-site circumstances the schedules may be modified. The contact information provided by the teams will be used to contact the teams as well as notification outside of the tournament area. It is required that all teams report to the tournament area at least 15 minutes prior to their scheduled start time.
It is mandatory that all teams and players are available to compete in tournament matches at any time between 8:00AM and 11:59PM for the entirety of QuakeCon. This means that all members of the team must be at QuakeCon between those hours.
1.7 Match Rules:
Warmup: 5 Minutes
Number of Players: 5
No player substitutions may take place during a match. In case of an emergency, only an officially rostered player may be substituted. Illegal player substitutions will result in an automatic map forfeit.
Timeouts: ONE 60-second timeout per team per set. Timeouts may be extended under the sole discretion of Tournament Officials.
1.8 Menu, Console Commands, and Cheating:
Players may change any item in the menu before the match begins. Console variables and commands may also be changed
* Device drivers which permit players to see through walls, or enable any form of transparency not intended by id Software, are strictly forbidden and grounds for immediate removal from the tournament. Players may use aliases, however, no alias may be used which assists players in determining spawn times, or performing any action which in any way inhibits the ability of an opponent to perform a legal action in the game.
* Except for control drivers and device settings, no commands are allowed outside the game or in command line. Except for control drivers and device settings, no alteration, deletion, or addition of files is permitted. Your player model, colors, and name must remain the same throughout the match. Any commands or combination of commands that allow seeing through walls, player warping, message spamming, auto-aim, radar, or similar action will be considered cheating and grounds for disqualification. Questions regarding setting of variables and commands and how they relate to cheating should be brought to a tournament official before your first match.
* Third-party additions will NOT be allowed. No exceptions.
Examples of illegal tactics:
1. intentionally blocking a door on any map
2. making weapons recharge faster, or making recoil disappear
3. making any map environmental aspects (fog etc) disappear if forbidden by PunkBuster/ETPro settings
4. boosting more than 1 person
5. using any tactic that causes you to "lag" or "teleport" or "simulated packet loss" meddling with the video card to go against any of the pb settings.
