Still could be explained better, and maybe have a player cap so we know when we can start. Imo having a reserve is pointless, we need as many teams as we can. And get rid of all that banned item nonsence it makes a mess of first post, we know what to expect on tdmax.

Don't really want to deal with teams dropping down but if we can fill all the 2 divisions it would be nice.

By what I've heard an early version of Tdmax had Skulltag items.

Okay, I am going to explain how and where games are going to take place.

1. According to the location of the registered players, we will use 2 servers as default; Supposing one located in NJ/BE and the other in UK.

2. If there's a team including an Euro and American/South American player, they should tell their opponents what ping they have and which server is better for both teams. Example: Team ABC got 110 ping average on NJ, and Team BCD 125 ping average... They must have their games on the said server.

3. If an Euro-based team is facing off an American-based team, each game should take place on the given servers (cf. UK and NJ/BE) and if they tied, the server for the tiebreaker game will be chosen by the team that HAS LESS FRAGS THE MOST FRAGS - BUT - the other team will choose the tiebreaker map. This is as much applicable for the first round and playoff matchs (BO3) as for the final matchs (BO5).

4. Who's gonna pick the server first ?
- The team that picked the server first will also pick the map in first position. The arrangement for selecting a server in first should be done by the teams and their opponents.
- As mentionned in paragraph 2, if 2 teams play all the games in the same server, the team with the highest average ping will pick the map first.



Note that only the final matches will be based on a Best-Of-Five format.

Meaning of BO3 and BO5:

A best-of-three playoff is a competition between two teams head-to-head which must win TWO games to win the series. TWO is chosen as it would constitute a majority of games played; if one team has won TWO games before all three games have been played, the games that remain are omitted. Possible scores: 2-1, 2-0

A best-of-five playoff is a competition between two teams head-to-head which must win THREE games to win the series. Three is chosen as it would constitute a majority of games played; if one team has won three games before all five games have been played, the games that remain are omitted. Possible scores: 3-0, 3-1, 3-2


EDIT: Also, the signups will be closed 2 days after all slots filled in order to have a short list of free agents.

Can we pick our partners? I'd sign up if I can play with a friend of mine.

[Kara Kurt]

Yes but only when signups are completed, and I'm declining your idea Nati, sorry.

Yeah I'm actually fine with people choosing their own teams if it's really gonna draw more people in.

As Chronique said, yes, make him sign up and he will also be able to play.
Also we need more people in division 2, badly. Don't be afriad to give this a go!

To make it clear, teams consist of 2 people, but we have added the possibility of having people sign for the free agent poll, who can be chosen as temporary partners in case only one person is avaiable (I'm thinking on having no more than 4-6 free agents, probably will start from 4 and will add some more if there is any need)

Tiebreaking Procedure update:

* To sum up, if 2 teams from different continents confront each other (eg Euro vs Usa), they are going to have to play on two servers (homefield and away) and switch to their opponents server as soon as the game ended.

* If they tied in the penultimate game, a Tie-breaker game will be played, but before that, the team with the most frags have to chooses server, and the other team chooses Tie-breaker map.

* For the Best-Of-5 games (only applied for the finals, remember) the order of the server will be as follow: USA, EURO, EURO, USA and vice-versa. It is important to keep this order because if the team A play on their server 2 games in a row, win them, switch to Euro, and win it, the team B will not be able to play twice on their server, since team A made it 3-0.

* If 2 teams got common ping on a server, they must play all their game here.

All of the teams must play. If a team refuses to play or deny the match; forfeit.
