**News** - Download the shared lives wad here! livespool-v1a.wadPlease give Lego a big thanks for making this for the tournament!Clarification on the life pool system. Ignore the Zandronum, engine life counter; it doesn't display correct information with pooled lives. Instead, Lego has a added a new counter that is accurate. Just remember, each team gets
5 respawns, after which every death will be permanent.

Last time on
CUTSTUFF TOURNAMENTS...Our last tournament saw contestants develop their individual skills, both technical and strategic, and we saw a lot of intense matches and impressive moments.
This time, though, your ability to work as a team will be put to the test. This tournament differs a good deal from the last team tournament we saw, as I think now we have the interest and drive for something bigger... This is...
The Real Super Power of Teamwork - 3v3 TLMS Tournament!!That's right, I've decided to take a shot at 3v3 tournament. The mode of play will be TLMS, the most popular team-based game mode.
The gameplay will be vanilla stock TLMS, with one key difference. During each game, a team of three will
share a pool of 5 lives. This means that teamwork will be
of the utmost importance. If you can't work as a team, the enemy will pick you off at their leisure!
I really believe that we have the interest and quality of dedicated members to make this 3v3 tourney work, but I do have back up plans should we struggle to come up with enough teams. But I doubt that! I think everyone, casual or competitive, frequent player or less frequent, should have a lot of fun participating in this tourney. And I encourage everyone to come up with good team names, there will be a test.
General Rules1. All games will be played in version v4b of MM8BDM.
2. All matches must be played according to these guidelines:
a) Each set is best 2 out of 3 games.
b) Each game is a 5-life (shared stock), 2-winlimit game of TLMS.
c) Each team will pick one map, and the third map, if necessary, will be decided upon by mutual agreement.
d) To decide which team picks the first map, EITHER both teams agree that one or the other picks first, OR a third party (that is, not on either team, unless agreed upon by both teams) will toss a coin. Heads means that the team on the TOP of the Challonge match up will pick first. Tails means the team on the BOTTOM of the Challonge match up will pick first.
3. At this point, there are no banned vanilla maps. This may change in the future. As for custom maps, I'm trying a new policy. Custom maps may be used without consent of the other team if and only if you notify the other team and me about what your choice will be to give both enough time to study the map (and make sure it's fine, in my case), in the case that they are not familiar with it. This rule is valid only for IX-Pack, SHARP, AMP, RozPack, LegoPack, the Jam Pack, and KNDM. For other custom maps, the other team must approve of the map (mutual agreement.) In addition, you may still request a custom map not in advance, but the other team must agree to battle there. I may go through this list later and hard ban specific maps in some packs, but this is the rule as it stands now.
4. Servers used for the competition must use the appropriate settings. Of course, I will have at least one server up myself.
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
j) SV_Maxlives 6
5. Server hosts must be able to provide logs of any and all matches if I request them.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. You must report all match/game results on this thread, preferable with screenshots or mutual team confirmation.
9. 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.
10. Activity clause. If a match goes undone for 2 weeks after the match up has been decided, OR if a team is unresponsive for 5 days since they last communicated, I reserve the right disqualify the team that has been less active. Being active means communicating with me AND your opponents to set times for matches, and making those scheduled times. Depending on the circumstances I may allow more time, but keep this in mind. I also reserve the right to change these time limits at any time, provided that I notify you all via this thread. In addition, I reserve the right to disqualify a team at any time if they are the less active team of a match up that is stalling the rest of the competition to a significant degree.
11. As always, report all scores here on this thread, preferably with screenshot confirmation and confirmation from both teams.
And, I forgot to mention, this tournament will be
double elimination!Download the shared lives wad here! livespool-v1a.wadTLMS is a very popular and well-liked game mode, that even casual players enjoy and can really get into. If you've stayed away from tournaments in the past, this a great opportunity to grab a couple friends and get in on some action! The shared stock and team-based nature of the tournament mean that any one can go far! But conversely, if you're a competitive player looking for a new challenge, this tournament will put your abilities to the test as you try to combine your skills with others to reach the top.
