CTF Spring Majors 2016

#1

Post by Zakken » Tue Mar 15, 2016 5:11 am

Introduction
Welcome to the first seasonal CTF major! Seeing as my previous couple of Tendency Monthlies have been successful, I've decided to try my hand with a more long-term and traditional sort of tournament. I hope you guys enjoy!

Schedule
Sign-up period: Monday, March 14th to Sunday, April 3rd @ 11:59 PM EDT.
Bracket period: April 4th to May 1st.

Teams
Teams must be signed up with 4 players, and one of them should be designated as a captain. Games follow a 3v3 format, but teams are required to sign up a 4th player as a sub in their roster. A set team name can also be defined in the sign-up. There are no clear restrictions for team names, but having some common sense won't hurt anybody!
Spoiler: More details (Open)
Server
The games will happen in Funcrusher+ (New Jersey) servers hosted exclusively for the event. They may also be used for practising purposes.

Format
The tournament will follow a double-elimination bracket, where the top placing teams from each group move on to a single-elimination bracket, its matches played out over the course of the latter two weeks.

Maps
The map list is comprised of 10 maps: 5 starter maps and 5 counterpick maps, all from the IDL201X wad.
  • MAP01: Fortress Collision - ZDCTF01
  • MAP04: R's...Magical Ice Forts - ZDCTF04
  • MAP13: A's...Base of Boppin' - THIRTY4-13
  • MAP15: The Hex Core - CORECTF20
  • MAP28: Isolation - CORECTF11
  • MAP03: Exophase - ZDCTF03
  • MAP08: Something Epic - ZDCTF08
  • MAP21: Scary Flaggers/Nice Sprites - THIRTY12-11
  • MAP24: Sanctum - RAGECTF04
  • MAP32: Collision II - CORECTF99
Green - Starter
Yellow - Counterpick


Games
  • Every match, group or bracket stage, will be scheduled by me to an appropriate time on its respective week based on the teams' availabilities;
  • The matches are played on a 3v3 format, and each round has a duration of 10 minutes and a score limit of 5 flags;
  • Each match follows a best of 5 system;
  • For the 1st round in a match, the designated blue team must ban one of the five starter maps. Afterwards, the red team must ban two other maps, and blue team then bans a fourth map. The remaining starter map is then played out;
  • For the 2nd round onwards, the loser of the previous round picks any of the maps (starters or counterpicks) that haven't been played yet. If the previous round ended in a tie, then the current round is played in the previous map again;
  • A team is victorious once they win 3 rounds in the bracket stage, or if they have more wins than their opponent after 5 rounds. If there is still no clear winner, subsequent rounds will be played until one of the teams wins.
Rules
  • Every participating player is recommended to upload demos from their games until their next week's games. If nobody from their respective teams uploads a demo from their match, they will be penalised with a one-round power play.
  • Trading players is not allowed.
  • Teams are allowed to field any of their players for each game, but failing to field 3 players at the scheduled times for their games will result in a forfeit.
Other info
The brackets for the tournament will be regularly updated at http://challonge.com/zctf_spring2016 as games are played. Also, the IRC channel where all things related to the tourney will be discussed is #zandroctf at Zandronum IRC.

To be honest I'm not sure why leagues always insist on fraggy priv maps to debut in. It's already bad enough IFL's list has map01 why does your league also have it as well as 04? Nobody likes new 28 and yea, maybe I might play but no captain for me. I definitely don't like the maplist that much since it's partially a priv list now.

Allow me to clarify on things!

If you don't have a team, you can't enter this tournament! I'm not automatically grouping a bunch of free agents together either. However, there is nothing stopping you from self-advertising in this thread for team captains to find potential teammates. In fact, I encourage it! Updated the OP to reflect this.

Team disbanded due to irreconcilable differences and a member's master ban.

Hello! Since I'm kind of short on time today, I'll make a group stage thread tomorrow. For the time being, I'll be asking around for teams' availabilities. Thank you for joining!
