GENERAL INFORMATION
Greetings, after going through some administrative points and a overall favorable public opinion towards the idea, I'm happy to present you the first edition of the Warband Doubles Tournament [WDT]
This event will be a single elimination format, which basically means that if you lose, you're out. Though, The aim of this event is to gather all variations of players, try-hards or casuals.
So if you have a partner you wish to play with and wish to confront yourself to other players of the Warband Scene in order to claim the title, then don't hesitate to sign up!
Disclaimer: This being said, and before going further, I would like everyone to notice that this will be my first native event, and that even if I've managed to get the help of some experienced players and community members, I expect everyone to take that in consideration while signing up. Though, I used to run several successful events within the Napoleonic Wars competitive scene so I'm not a novice in term of organisation. I just prefer letting you people know that you can expect an event from quite a lower quality than those you're use to play in normally but that I will try my very best to run it as smoothly as possible in order to make it enjoyable for everyone. Thanks for understanding.
Rules :
1.
1.1 While signing up you obviously accept the rules of the event and make sure that you've read the "disclaimer" too.
1.2 This will be an All Class Tournament *Read rule 2.1*.
1.3 This event will be a Group Stage Tournament followed of a Single Elimination Knockout. Each teams will be dividep up in 16 groups of 4 teams each. The two best teams of each groups will make it to the Knockout Stage. Victory gives you three points, a draw 1 point, a loose 0 point. Rounds Difference will be used in case of a tie within the groups.
1.4 Each match consists of two sets, both first to ten on one map with two factions. You switch factions once a set (one a team reached 10 rounds) has been played. The winner is the team with the most points once both being sets have been completed and added up.
1.5 Each week the map and factions will be announced.
1.6 Matches can be played on any server as long as both parties agreed on it. If you face a difficulty finding one, I will try providing you a server so you can play your match. Just make sure to message a bit before you actually plan to play your match.
1.7 In case of a dispute, especially concerning match results, providing a screenshot is highly recommended so I can work out the winner. You're not forced to take a screenshot of the result at the end of each set, but bare in mind that it will always be easier for the admins and thus much appreciated.
1.8 *For knockout stage only* In case of a tie, the same map will be used but the factions will both be changed to Swadians. The first to establish a two rounds lead will be declared winner.
1.9 * For knockout stage only* Each rounds of the knockoutstage must be played in one week, which means that the deadline lays at the end of each week. The teams which have not completed their matches after this date will be disqualified. If it happens that in a round neither of the two teams showed a single effort to play their match, I will throw a coin and one of the team will pass the stage.
2.
2.1 All classes are allowed however you must always have one infantry out of the two players. Players can switch as much as they want between rounds as long as the first statement is respected.
2.2 There will be no restriction concerning weapons.
2.3 Picking up ennemies equipement like shields, weapons, horses or whatever you can find is allowed. Dropping stuff to your partner is also allowed.
2.4 1000 golds start. No upgrading.
2.5 Round time limit will be 4 minutes.
2.62.6 You're allowed to camp any bulding/positions you want but nothing obliges the ennemy team to fight you there. To avoid endless camping and as we can't prevent people from abusing it, a flag will spawn at 2:00. As for any other competitions, the team to make the flag reachs its highest point wins the round. Purposly delaying the round, aka running away with the only intention to refuse the fight will not be tolerated as well as trollish behaviors. The admins reserve themselves the right to decide if a player corresed the red line, or not.
2.7 You can change players during the match as much as you want if you've registered a sub but only two players can spawn at the same time to avoid people dropping stuff to their partners before swapping to spectators.
3.
3.1 In any case, at any time, please behave. There is no problem which can't be solved as long as a discussion can happen, so do prefer contacting me on steam rather than encouraging any kind of drama on the forums. Means no f****** around, both in-game and on forums.
3.2 As written before, screenshots will be the easiest way to determine which of the two teams actually won the match. This works as well for video. If you have the possibility, do not hesitate to record your matches so that you can upload it If we feel the need to. Records will always have a more powerful value than any endless discussions.
3.3 If you struggle contacting your opponents, or finding a suitable date for both teams, do not hesitate to contact me so I can help you out. The team which showed the most effort possible to find a date and play their match will be the most likely to pass the stage. Clear evidences such as screenshots of steam conversations will obviously help.
4.
4.1 A team consist of two players, and possibly one sub. No less, no more.
4.2 Changes within the teams are not allowed unless a particular situation happens which will be dealt by the admin team.
4.3 The only reason a change may happen is if one team hasn't play a single match yet and request a change. Once a team played their first match, this rule is null and void.
4.4 You can only play for one team at a time.
