ROSE THORN DUEL TOURNAMENT EVENT!

[Ethel Rose]

"How Tough Are Ya?"
——————————————————
WELCOME ONE AND ALL TO THE VERY FIRST ROSE THORN DUEL TOURNAMENT EVENT! (or whatever you believe sounds better).
(2ndary note: Not the very first "Duel" Tourney but the very first event hosted by me- you get the idea)

Starting from TODAY till the 5th of November, you and others will be able to battle it out to show who's the toughest
and the best around in red-hot firey duels! All you need to do to Sign-Up and your set! (NOTE: This won't
include CBM)

IMPORTANT! (Note: Rules will be updated accordingly to what others suggest)
Rules:

(click to show/hide)

1. All Duels will be played with the current version of MM8BDM, being V5C on the server [TSPG] Painkiller: 8bdm - Vanilla Duel Server and can be used for practicing.

2. Duels will be played with the latest version of Duel Item Patch that is available
https://allfearthesentinel.net/zandronum/download.php?file=duelitempatch-v5c-1.pk3 (Thank you Lego!)

3. Each Duel will be played according to the guidelines

(A) Each match will be a best 2 out of 3. Meaning 2 Duels per match or a 3rd Duel if each player is tied up. But the final match/winners match shall be a best 3 out of 4.
(B)Each contestant shall vote for one map, a 3rd map if nesscessary will have to be agreed on by mutual agreement.

4. If a player fails to show up 3 times and/or postpones 3 times but fail to show up the 4th time while trying to do a match can/will be disqualified from the Tourney so that the others can move on, I want to make sure this Tourney does actually finish rather than being forgotten.
but, if they give a good enough reason as to why they can't show up (or if lag gets in the way) they will be excused for missing one match only.

5. Please be respectful of who you duel against, we seriously don't need an issue where
a player talks down to another player to make them feel bad that they lost.

6. Be sure to report all scores on the thread, most notably with a screenshot confirmation along with confirmation from both contestants.

Normally these types of tourney's are Double Elimination Bracket-Style Competition but I decided to mix it up a bit.
This tournamet will be a TWO-STAGE Bracket-Style Competition! This meaning that two separate groups of players will compete against eachother untill the Winner of each bracket face off in a firey Winner’s Match!
(May be subject to changing if there aren't enough contestants)

Sign-Up's Have Ended

I wanted to point out that the version of duel item patch presented in this tournament isn't the one created by King Dumb, who used to host the more played duel tournaments in years past.
duelitempatchj is the one made by Jax which fundamentally changes how certain systems work by introducing new items and pickups that veteran players may find themselves unfamiliar with. These changes also fundamentally change the balance of the core game and can thus heavily impact the experience of those participating.

I took the liberty of updating KD's duelitempatch-v5a-2.pk3 to function properly with v5c. There were no fundamental issues so all that was changed was the removal of the SkullBarrierWepGiver replacement since that was a change made in core, and added a credits file to properly list who made the file to begin with.

You can download this patch here should you wish to use it on the official servers for this tournament.
Thank you for your attention and best of luck to all those participating.
