[/list]
Reasoning for this change: As most of you are aware of we have an odd number of teams, which means one team will receive a BYE. Therefore we need to specify what will happen to the team that receives said BYE.
Due to the fact that many people may not be aware of how this tournaments group-stage and single-elimination works, I'll briefly explain it. If you still don't understand how it works after reading the ruleset and what I write below, please message one of the administrators or post in
this thread.
First off, every team in the tournament will make it to the single-elimination stage of the tournament. But that doesn't mean that the group-stage is insignificant. During the group-stage teams objective should be to get the best seeding possible, in order to have a "easy ride" during the single elimination stage.
Please check the bracket once again, as most of the matches have been changed.
Why did it change? Because I had to add two participants to the tournament (BYE and Take off the tags), and after adding them I shuffled the seeds. Apologies for the inconvenience!
Our servers are now up! You'll find them under the names UNAC_SERVER_1, UNAC_SERVER_2 and UNAC_SERVER_3. If you need access to these servers please contact the administrative team. Team captains and staff members will receive the admin password today, so if you fall under that category you don't need to contact us. The servers are currently using the WPL module, because we haven't finished our own module yet. You can find the WPL module
here, we should have our module finished by the end of the week.
Shoutout to our sponsor MarkMods for always providing us with quality servers!
With all that being said, our planned start date remains the same. Week one will begin on April 12th.
