Everyone interested would join the discord at ''x'' hour
Teams would be selected the day of the tournament by a draft of the players present (Number of team or the number of players per team will depend on the amount of players obviously). Captains will be the highest rws players.
If there is not enough players we could make a bo5 with the players present or in other words competitive pugs (obviously we should discuss the details in this thread). And if by some miracle we have way too many players, we could simply double the format or introduce a group stage (but the second option would be very time consuming).
To prevent having to modify the format at the last minute, we could make a list of players interested to participate to gauge if we need to modify it prior to the draft/tournament.
The goal is to have everything done within 4 hours.
Tournament format :
Double elimination with upper and lower bracket.
Upper Bracket
Match 1 - Seed 1 vs Seed 4 (Loser goes to lower bracket)
Match 2 - Seed 2 vs Seed 3 (Loser goes to lower bracket)
Match 3 - Seed 1 vs Seed 2 (Winner vs Winner, Loser goes to lower bracket)
Lower Bracket
Match 1 - Seed 3 vs Seed 4 (Loser eliminated)
Match 2 - Seed 3 vs Seed 2 (Loser eliminated, Winner goes to finals)
Finale
Best of 3 - Seed 1 vs Seed 2 (Winner of upper bracket vs winner of lower bracket)
Maps
Maps Pool: de_dust2, de_inferno, de_nuke, de_season,de_cache, _de_tuscan, de_cpl_strike, de_train, de_contra and de_russka
Rules:
Etiquette
You must behave professionally during the tournament since it's meant to be serious. No whining about registry, p90, teammates, strategy, cheating, etc or starting flame wars/arguments during matches. No forfeiting or ragequitting matches either. Even if it's 15-0, you're expected to finish every match.
Pauses
Each player on a team can pause the match once for 60 seconds. Pauses can be extended by having a teammate or opponent use their pause. Do not use !pause unless you need to use it (strategy, emergency bathroom, internet drop, etc). In general, it's better to take bathroom breaks during half time than using !pause. Pauses take place during freezetime or the next round's freezetime.
Gameplay
Typical league rules are also in effect. This means certain gameplay isn't permitted, such as:
certain spots (de_train, de_tuscan, etc). The boosts on de_inferno are fine.
crouch spamming (standing and ducking repeatedly and rapidly on bomb or gun fights).
illegal defuses (you must have clear line of sight. obviously excluding barrels/teammates/flashes/smokes)
Standard War-Lords rules apply for areas not covered here.
Failure to abide by these rules will result in bans from future War-Lords events in addition to an in-game ban.
