The first Bannerlord Early Acces Skirmish Tournament is coming to an end and rumours for a new format have been going around for a while now.
That's why we finally present to you BEAST# 2.
Following on from BEAST we plan to have a rather more friendly ladder where teams should play more against teams of a similar skill level. Many teams have already expressed interest but please officially sign up here.
Code:
[B]Team Name:
Team Tag:
Contact 1:[/B] (Taleworlds & Steam)
[B]Contact 2:[/B] (Taleworlds & Steam)
[B]Banner:
Roster:[/B]
[spoiler]Player Name -& Steam[/spoiler]
[B]Preferred Division:[/B] A, B, C
The most important info in short:
-The finalization of the rules is still in progress. They will be based on the original BEAST rules. Expect some appropiate modifcations.
- Beast #2 is going to be an ongoing ladder seperated by seasons.
- We are looking into loosen up the class restrictions. We decided to let the clans vote on class restrictions again.
- We are planning to start this tourney roughly when version 1.5 goes live. As with the original tournament don't expect a perfectly balanced tournament since the early acces may introduce drastical changes to the gameplay.
You will find the revisited rules in detail on the Taleworlds Tournament Group once it's up.
The general idea is, to you use the data we gathered from the original tournament to create a more fair and engaging groups. We want to make competetiv play more fun for new clans, while keeping it exciting to the already well established clans.
I hope to see all the clans from Beast and hopefully some new ones in this ladder.
Happy signing-up!
Edit: please also add the division you want to play in. We will base the placement on your wish but also on our evaluation.
(Example if a team like RM, that did very well in Beast, wishes to play in Tier C we will ignore that and place them higher)
Edit: we changed the sign up formula and other info,slightly. Also, the new roster thread is up.
EDIT: Preview on the ladder format. Expect appropiate changes.

We are going to base our format on the ladder from WNL8
§ 4 Ladder Stage Format
(1) As the name suggests, during the initial ladder stage all divisions will be put into a ladder. Teams will be awarded 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss.
(2) Teams are sorted firstly by total points, secondly by their Buchholz score, thirdly by round difference, and lastly by rounds won.
(3) The Buchholz score is a running tally of each team's previous opponents' points from match wins, draws and losses.
(4) Teams will be automatically matched to opponents based on the following criteria: Starting from the top of the table, teams on the same points will be selected, with the highest placed team matched against the lowest placed team, the second highest against the second lowest, and so on. Any remaining team is then matched with the team immediately below them that hasn't been matched yet. Then the fixture selection moves to the next set of points, until no team is left.
(5) Teams that have faced each other previously will not have a rematch, instead the next closest opponent will be selected.

Again it's not finalized but you should get the idea of what we are planning. Ignore point 5 specifially for now.
Edit: added a link to the class restriction vote. Also rosters may consist of up to 18 players now, which will be added to rules soon.
