2. Battle Mechanics
The tournament will be held on the Akhma Server (or any other non-congested server)
Captains of each team will draw lots to determine their match number and the team they’re going to compete with.
Teams will be given 5 minutes to set-up their characters and check hardware.
After set-up, teams will be summoned to the GM Land (or any GM specified battlegrounds)
Each Team will be given a starting point/area before the fight.
The GM will announce on when they may start casting buffs.
The GM will start a countdown from 5. Match will start after the “GO!” signal
Tournament Rules:
Eliminations will be one round knockout
The Revenge Phase (semi-finals) and Finals will be best of 3 race to 2 wins
Each round will be 10 minutes long
No player will be allowed to leave or respawn (in case of death) in the tournament area at anytime. Otherwise, that character will be removed from the match.
A Team will score Death Points [DP] for every death, which may be reduced by a successful resurrection of a team mate. Scores will be computed as follows:
1 Death = 2 Death Points [DP]
1 Resurrection = -1 Death Points [DP]
The team with the least amount of Death Points [DP] will win that round.
Wipe out will be automatically count as 1 win [DP] will not be considered
In the event that a player disconnects, the match will continue. Disconnected player/s must reconnect as soon as possible.
Only if there are 5 or more players have been disconnected will the match be stopped.
After the elimination round, the tournament will enter the semi-final “Revenge Phase” of the tournament.
The Revenge Phase (semi finals):
The Revenge phase will proceed directly after the elimination round, and during the semi-final round.
This phase of the tournament gives the previously eliminated teams a chance to claim vengeance against the team that defeated them during the elimination round.
Defeated teams will have to face each other in order to gain a “Vengeance Option”. This will also be one round knockout matches.
Eliminated Teams could only claim vengeance with the team that defeated them.
Teams who have already entered the semi-final round will have to be beaten twice before they could be ousted from their current spot in the tournament. This will be best of 3, race to 2 matches.
If a team that claimed Vengeance managed to beat them twice, they will gain that team’s place in the tournament.
Teams that were beaten via Vengeance are considered out of the tournament.
Sample Revenge Scenario: Click to View Image
Based on the image above, we will follow the paths of Team 2 and Team 6. Both teams were defeated during the elimination round by teams 1 and 5. During the Revenge Phase, Both Teams will have to face the losers of the 2nd (Team3 vs. Team 4) and 4th match (Team 7 vs. Team 8). After winning those matches, Teams 2 and 6 have both gained a Vengeance Option. Using this option, they will get a rematch against the teams that defeated them during the elimination round (Team 1 and Team 5) should they choose to do so. After defeating their opponents in best of 3 race to 2 matches, they would have ousted Teams 1 and 5 and are now back at the tournament. They will now face Team 3 and Team 7 during the semi-finals. Teams 1 and 5 are now out of the tournament as well as teams 4 and 8 since they lost again during the Revenge Phase.
