Thought we were done with summer-hype events? Think again! The last vanilla duel tournament MM8BDM saw was in 2012. As mapping events tone down and nothing else MM8BDM stands to occupy you, the time has come... the time to find the next Duel Champion.
No classes. No teams. Nothing to distract from the meaning of the competition. Just raw dueling; one-on-one, head-to-head action. Your will to win and be the best will drive you through this competition. This is the reboot, the redux, the sequel...
The 2nd Cutstuff Duel Tournament of Champions!
THE BRACKET

General Rules
1. All duels will be played in MM8BDM version 4a.
2. All duels must be played with the newest version of the Duel Item Patch, currently on version v4-4. Grab it here! (http://www.best-ever.org/download?file=duelitempatch-v4a-4.pk3)
3. All duels must be to ten (10) frags, with no time limit.
4. Each match will be best of three duels. Each duelist will pick one map, and the third map (if necessary) will be decided upon mutually.
5. The following maps are banned, at this current time: MM5CRY, MM5GYR, MM5WAV, MM6WIN, MM8CLO, MMWTDW1, MM4DIV. MM3DW1 is open only to mutual agreement. Non-vanilla maps may be used upon mutual agreement, though I reserve the right to disqualify a duel if I discern that the map used is not at all capable of housing a proper duel, or if any glitches, bugs, etc. are abused. These bans are subject to change.
6. Server hosts must ensure that the following parameters are in place (in addition to all normal parameters for public hosting):
a) Crouch OFF
b) Chasecam OFF
c) Forced Respawn ON
d) Skill 2
e) Unlagged OFF
f) Autoaim OFF
g) Drop weapon on death OFF
h) Suicide OFF
i) Spawnfarthest ON
j) Mapvotes ON
7. If you do not duel one on of the Best-Ever duel servers that I run, the server host must be able to provide logs should I request them.
8. 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.
9. 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.
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.
Instead of a group phase and a double bracket phase, this tournament will be a simple, double-elimination, bracket-style competition. That means that if you lose once, you will enter the loser's part of the bracket, and will still have a chance to win the whole thing!
As mentioned above, I will be updating the Duel Item Patch before the matches for this tourney begin.
This tournament, like all others, depends upon the commitment of its competitors. Not only skill, but determination and willpower as well will be your allies. Remember, this tournament is about more than winning; it's about conquering your personal obstacles and proving how good you can be. I'm going to make sure this tournament runs smoothly and briskly, so start training now! You'll need it; this has the potential to be one of the most competitive tournaments we'll see. So sign up, commit, and carry yourself to the top!

Good games, was fun see if I get into a better spot next time.
With the duel tourney now down to 9 competitors, I figured it was the perfect time to make an image of all the cutstuff players getting ready to throw down. Without further ado, I present to you my work of art:
