ugghh too many questions tbh i was planning to release this was everyone registered but since you are so thirsty for information i will sate you.
No i Cannot give you the actual format because im not finished making it in the little cute arrow and box Microsoft picture thingy. so within each group (3 groups in each bracket) there will be 5 men and when they duel every other person there (each person duels all the others) the 2 people with the most kills in total will advance while the other 3 men are knocked out of the tournament, so they will participate in the next one. There is a reason im the only person who chooses referees, i have personally asked many people to ref because i trust them, while the application is for a small amount of referees. I trust the referees i accept and so should you and I wont have the time to revue every single complaint against referees so i leave it up to them, and its not really anyway they can affect the fight unless someone cheats or breaks the rules. Yes all duels will take place in duel sessions or if you manage to get a referee to count the duel, i don't care if you beat the other play 10-0 without a ref and then in the duel session he beats you 6-4 you lose, end of story and no discussion. Yes all weapons are allowed except throwing weapons for now, we are deciding whether bamboo spears are to be allowed or not (too spammy and long no skill what so ever to use), Armor is allowed, I don't know which servers yet.
That took a while hope your happy.
