Hello everyone,
I am not sure if my name is still familiar with you guys, but I have been part of the community for ~10 years. It’s fun to see that with the Bannerlord release and the lockdown due to Coronavirus that so many people come back to this franchise.
I want to use the momentum the (fading) lockdown creates and want to get rolling the first European Bannerlord Tournament. For that I want to gather teams and staff members who can help me administer the tournament. I’m an active player in the game, officer and one of three clan leader of my clan so I have other responsibilities as well and sadly cannot dedicate all the necessary attention to this tournament myself and I am in need of help. If you just read this and thought: “well this is a job for me to do!” then go ahead and fill out the form for staff and I will get into contact with you. If more people are helping – from different teams, communities etc. – this tournament will also draw more attention.
The current idea would be either Best of Three or Best of Five in case we will not get servers by TW for the tournament. I would like to let this be decided by the signed-up teams. The other stuff – the tournament bracket etc – will have to be designed by the numbers of teams joining.
Depending on the team number I thought of one group phase + knockout with a looser bracket to get as many matches and as much possible playtime and fun for everyone involved.
Preliminary Rules

This is just a concept so far, I'm very open to feedback. What I have in mind right now is to have class restrictions and the game mode (best of three, best of five skirmishes) to be decided by the teams.
Tournament staff (so far):
Aeronwen

Preliminary Rules
1. No use of the map glitches. We will provide a list of known glitches.
2. Be polite and friendly all the time! We do not tolerate unfriendly behaviour in this tournament. Be respectful always and do not insult your opponents or other players/teams in the tournament.
3. Each team must submit a roster with exact player names + steam profile. You may not change player’s profile-names during the tournament. The roster limit is 12 players.
4. Substitutions are allowed, maximum of two per substitution day (each Sunday). Removed players must be linked with steam profile while added players must as well be linked with steam profile. Substitution deadline is each Sunday 23.00 UTC and each substitution must be sanctioned by the tournament administration.
4a. A player nominated by any team may not be part of another team. If this is the case, the substitution will be rejected.
4b. A player substituted may be added again into the roster of his former team.
5. Players must be online to participate in the tournament, invisible is disallowed.
6. In case we get private servers for this tournament, the old system of spawn switch will be used. In case this is not possible we will play Best of Three skirmishes, the third one acting as a tie breaker.
7. The winner of a matchup is determined by the amount of won skirmishes. If there is a tie, won rounds will be used as tie breaker. If there is still a tie, the amount of gold left in the last round of each spawn/single skirmish is the next tie breaker.
8. Sunday 19.00 UTC shall act as def date. Matchups may appoint any time in their consent to play the match. If no common ground can be found to appoint a match, the Def Date shall apply. The party which is not able to play on the def date will automatically be declared the loser. If both parties cannot play, a second def date may be assigned by the tournament administration. The same rules apply for the second def date. If both parties cannot play on the second def date, the match will be nullified.
9. To claim a match screenshots for each skirmish with time stamp must be presented to the tournament administration. In addition, each team is required to stream the match.
10. If a team breaks a rule in a match, please take screenshots to prove it, so we can act!
11. The tournament administration is the final authority.
12. To adress multiclanning: each player can only be in one team at a time. If multiclanning is detected, the case will be judged individually. The player will be suspended regardless, if only temporary. If a player is listed in a roster, then substituted and then is added into another roster, the substitution will be granted on the third substitution day after the deadline.
