Classes 2v2 Antidraft Tournament (Sacrifice for Zand 3) (Also Slashman)

[Orange juice :l]

The Christmas Season, a time for togetherness, friendship, and spending time with your family. Also. to beat up other friends and families? This tournament, organized as a formal sacrifice to usher in Zandronum 3.0 for early in the new year, and thus interrupt the tournament, will see you teaming up with one other player and will include CBM. However, you'll be leaving your comfort zone as your opponents will be picking one of your classes!

Win one map and your team will earn the Cutstuff Enthusiast Medal!

Matches will proceed as thus:
When each team signs up, they will BLOCK and BAN 5 classes each for the entire tournament. These are freely changeable until their first match happens.

Final Arbitration: Block - Ban - Map - Nemesis - Pick

Teams are not obligated to play as classes they block. Ergo, they should BLOCK classes they do not wish to play.
Neither team may plan any class banned by either team. Ergo, teams should BAN classes they do not wish to play against.

When a match begins, teams will block another 5 then ban another 5 classes, alternating each pick. This happens before each MATCH.

Once all blocks and bans are in place, both teams must deliberate among themselves as to their NEMESIS PICK. This is a class that the opposing team must play as, but the team playing the class selects which player will use it. Both teams' Nemesis Picks will be stated at the same time and may not be changed once announced. Recall no banned classes or classes blocked by the opponent are valid Nemesis Picks. Nemesis and Self Picks are done every MAP.

In case it wasn't obvious, you can't ban a class that was already selected in the Nemesis Pick.

Once the Nemesis Picks are complete, each team will select a class for their other player to use in the map. They do not need to announce what this class is before the match begins or who is using which class. Remember that no banned class is valid for this pick- you may use a class your team blocked if you so wish.

Each match is comprised of a best-of-3 maps. Maps are selected as most tournaments before: one team selects a map, the other team selects the second map, and both teams must agree on the third map if applicable.

Matches will take place in TLMS with 6 respawns per player that are NOT shared. If one player loses their respawns, their teammate is on their own!

Double Elimination Bracket.

MM7CLO MM8CLO MM5WAV MM5GYR, CTF and custom maps legal on mutual agreement only.
MM7STR is BANNED.

Unlike prior tournaments, players are allowed to use the same class if desired. Please note this implies you want another dose of what the opposing team is serving you, of course!

Footnote: Remember that since this is TLMS, copyweps will be given a selection of weapons. As a discount deal, you can spend TWO of your bans or blocks, either permenant or per-match, on the full Copywep package:

SACRIFICE RULES:

Because Zandronum 3.0 and thus MM8BDM-v5b and hopefully a classes compat update are coming soon, the tournament will be placed on hold in case this happens. If uncontinuable on modern versions for an extended period of time, reverting to a previous build will be considered. Else, if updated, the tournament will continue as normal but all global bans and blocks will be reassignable in the case balance is changed in the compatability patch.

Also note that because of this, I would like this tournament to proceed as quickly as possible. Thus, teams may not be accepted if players have poor attendance records in prior tournaments.

BONUS ROUND?

This tournament will be Double Elimination with 8 slots. Maybe more if people desperately want in...

How bad can it be?

I love trying out new classes. When are we aware of the opponent choices, anyway? Just before the match starts? At least give the player some brief period to try the class's weapon system.

Good news, everyone! I've filed for a government grant prize for the tournament, and now players can vie for the Cutstuff Enthusiast Medal!

In order to win this medal, your team must Win One Map (and not be disqualified for lack of participation). That is to say, you must win a best 2 out of 3 rounds on only one of the two or three maps you play against another team. Remember this tournament is double elimination, so one bad matchup isn't the end of the world.

If you're interested in participating but can't find a teammate then feel free to use this thread for matchmaking and soul-seeking. There are bound to be others out there who want a go at the medal...

Please review your banned classes, Evil Robot is included in the copywep bundle, so you've currently banned him twice.

[Drarky]

Please review your banned classes, Evil Robot is included in the copywep bundle, so you've currently banned him twice.

Oh, I thught that you only banned the Copy weapons and not the characters itself.

Alright, I'll fix it.

[Trillster]

I'd also like to mention that you have Doc Robot blocked, but considering you banned him in the Copywep Bundle, he's not usable at all, even as a nemesis pick. So you could just replace him with another class that you wouldn't be particularly fond of playing.
