-------------------------------------------------
Come one, come all! It’s time for a MM8BDM competition like you’ve never seen before! In this competition, you’ll compete with a buddy through a bracket-style tournament of teams, playing all sorts of different team game modes to advance! What’s more, I have been granted permission from the admin team to offer an all-new Cutstuff Competition medal as the award: The Cutstuff Fighter medal!

What’s more, the second and third place individuals (more explained below), will receive the Cutstuff Fighter Runner-Up medal!

Now that I’ve got your attention, let’s get down to the details! As I said, you’ll compete in this tournament in pairs, and you’ll keep the same partner throughout the entire event. You and your partner will have to confirm each other in your sign-up posts.
This tournament will run bracket-style, so ideally, we’ll have 16 teams, with 32 participants total.
Aside from competing as a team, this tournament has another twist that you can use to your advantage to advance! Each match-up between teams will be a Best-2-games-out-of-3 match. For the first two games of each match, each team will choose a game mode (different game modes!!) and map in which they want to compete! The third game, if necessary, will be played in a mode agreed to mutually by both teams. If both teams cannot agree, each time will eliminate one game mode one by one (starting with the team that lost the previous game) until one remains. The game modes you can choose from are listed below, with the details for competing in each mode:
Team Deathmatch: Fraglimit of 30. Timelimit of 25 minutes. Winlimit of 1.
Team Last Man Standing: The choosing team has a choice here.
Option 1: Sv_maxlives 3, winlimit 2.
Option 2: Sv_maxlives 1, winlimit 3.
Team Possession: Pointlimit 3. Hold time 45 seconds. Winlimit 1.
2-Flag Capture the Flag: Pointlimit 4. Timelimit 25 minutes. Winlimit 1.
Each game mode will be played on only one map. So for any given match-up between two teams, up to three maps and up to three game modes could be played!
General Rules:
1. All games will be played in version v3b of MM8BDM.
2. All modes must be played according to the guidelines listed.
4. At this point, there are no banned vanilla maps. This may change in the future. As for custom maps, they may only be played if both teams agree to a custom map (one team still chooses the game mode, but in the case of a custom map that map must be approved separately by the enemy team.)
5. Servers used for the competition must use the appropriate config file/command line, given below.
6. Server hosts must be able to provide logs of any and all matches if I request them.
7. Duels played on the server of one of the participants (where they have that low, low ping) will only count upon agreement by both teams.
8. Cases of lag will be handled on a case-by-case basis. As general rules, lag related to clients’ local machines (ie, other programs, etc.) will not be excused; lag based on connection issues with the server will be excused in most cases and the appropriate actions will be taken.
9. You must report all match/game results on this thread, preferable with screenshots or mutual team confirmation.
10. As tournament host, I reserve the right to add, remove, or change rules as I see fit to maintain a smooth, functional, and equally fair tournament.
Config Files (for BE servers)/Command Lines for Each Server Type:
For BE servers, use these files as your .cfg file. For other servers, copy the text of this file and use it as your command line:
TDM: FighterTournamentTDM.cfg (http://static.best-ever.org/cfg/fightertournamenttdm.cfg)
TLMS (3 lives): FighterTournamentTLMS1.cfg (http://static.best-ever.org/cfg/fightertournamenttlms1.cfg)
TLMS (1 life): FighterTournamentTLMS2.cfg (http://static.best-ever.org/cfg/fightertournamenttlms2.cfg)
TPos: FighterTournamentTP.cfg (http://static.best-ever.org/cfg/fightertournamenttp.cfg)
CTF: FighterTournamentCTF.cfg (http://static.best-ever.org/cfg/fightertournamentctf.cfg)
Now then, as you may recall I mentioned earlier that there will be only be one 1st Place winner, one 2nd Place runner-up, and one 3rd Place runner-up. Here’s how this works: Teams will compete in the bracket like normal. Ultimately, two teams will compete in the finals of this bracket. After this contest, two things will happen:
The two members of the winning team will compete in a best-2-games-out-of-3 Duel for 1st and 2nd place.
The two members of the second-place team will compete in a best-2-games-out-of-3 Duel for 3rd and 4th place (remember, 4th place does not receive a medal, so fight hard!)
That’s about all there is to the structure of the tournament!
