Groupfighting Tournament
Linebattle events are fun, but it is not there where you can show your true gaming skills.
After the fall of regular The Deluge League (beautiful times on version 0.552) many of us still lack those competetive forms and our thirst for blood is merely being satisfied by occassional clan 1v1's. Today, strongly believing that the new community of Deluge mod is ready for reintroducing the clans' competition element, I come up with an idea to organize a small groupfighting tournament that will boost some life into this mod, and, if successfull, will be a good foretaste of something bigger going to happen...
MAKE DELUGE GREAT AGAIN!
Tournament form:
Signups are opened for teams consisting of 6 players + eventually reserves (that cannot play in another team!)
Make note! - One guy may be signed as a reservist for many teams, but once he decides to play in one, he's bound only to this team for the rest of tournament.
The idea of groupfighting is as I guess already well known for Warband players - battle rounds on open field with no ranged weapons and no formations. Cooperation more than recommended!
Trusting that you're not such lifeless tryhards to cheat, I am not going to prepare the list of your in-game IDs. Should there be some doubts about any player, then I will of course check it. If it turns out that one player really did play matches in two diffreent teams under fake nicks, both teams will be instantly disqualified.
General rules:
The tournament will be played in round-robin system, which means each team will play with all other. Depending on the amount of teams signed, it will dure about 1-2 months when playing 1 match per week. The matches setup will be generated randomly using http://challonge.com/
Team captains must find a date within their matchup week that will fit them both and ask at least one referee to come and do the admin stuff - players are not allowed to join on admin pass during their own match!
If one team is unable to bring 6 players, that's their problem (should have thought about getting reserves...) and they need to play outnumbered.
All matches must be played on The Deluge Reloaded server.
List of referees will be updated here, if you want to help and become one, pm me. It would be nice to have at least 1 referee from each clan participating in the tournament.

Map, Factions and Weapons:
There's only one tournament map, small flat terrain limited by walls, completely no lagging objects (will be shared here once we are done with it so you can check and train there)
Factions, units - HRE mirror match, only pikeman unit allowed.
Players spawn without weapons (server setting) and with maximum 10 body (torso) armour. Helmets, boots, gloves - no limitations.
Weapons are going to be placed on both spawns (6 in each stock), so that you can take what you want each round. Choose the weapon configuration wisely, then take position on the white line and let the referee know that you are ready. Each match consists of 10 rounds.
List of weapons:
Main: Pike 5m Pike 4,5m Pike 2,5m Halberd Short halberd Lochaber axe Great long bardiche Long teber Two handed sword (flamberg) Two handed sword (claymore) | Secondary: German rapier German hilt sword Sinclair hilt backsword Schaviona Polish sabre Hungarian sabre Hungarian broadsword Good czekan axe Persian broadsword Kilij |
Points and table:
Win = +3pts, Draw = +1, Loss = +0
Won and lost rounds will also be counted and taken into consideration in case of multiple teams having equal amount of team points at the end of the tournament.
Each match result shall be posted by the referee in the 'tournament table' thread and confirmed by a screenshot. I'll be updating the table after each weekend.
Signups end on Sunday 07.05 !
We are planning to start just after signups close - first week will be 08-14.05
