EDIT: Due to lack of teams that have come forward to sign up so far, we unfortunately have decided to cancel this event. Playing with 5-6 teams would not be worth the time for you all, it sucks, but, we'd rather not waste people's time.

Hello! Your tournament staff team is proud to announce another upcoming event! You can find all details below, and may ask questions on this thread.

Overview

6v6 on the field
Unlimited roster sizes, alla the Clan system
16 teams, Best of 3 Single-Elimination
Saturday, July 11th, 12:00 pm EST

Schedule

Round of 16………12:00 PM EST
Quarter Finals……1:15 PM EST
Semi Finals……….2:30 PM EST
Bronze Match…….3:45 PM EST
Finals………………5:00 PM EST

Please note: we will be trying to keep to this schedule as much as possible, however, unforeseen circumstances may cause us to deviate slightly from it. We will keep you well informed of any changes, and hope that you will work with us to trouble-shoot any issues that may arise.

Read more here.

Bracket

The bracket will be posted and updated there, as soon as we possible can do so!

Signing Up

To sign up, please have your clan leader post on this thread. Clan leaders, please make sure that your full team is on board with playing before posting - as you will find out later when reading the Blacklist section of this post, there will be consequences if you do not show up for the event.

Seeding/Clan Roster Locking

Important: as only 16 clans will be able to participate, seeding is very important - it may very well decide wether or not you get to play in the tournament in the first place. Clans will not be selected on a first-come-first-serve basis, but rather, chosen based on the most accurate data we have of their skill level - Ranked SG ELO. For each team that enters, we will average the Ranked SG ELOs of the top 5 players on the team to rank them. We announce this now, 2 weeks in advance, so you are given notice of this and will be able to grind up if your team's ELO does not currently represent your ability. Soon, we will be putting up a page that shows each clan's seed in real time, so you know where you are at all times.

Since we want you all to know, in advance, who will be playing, there will be a cut-off for the sign-up period. Exactly 1 day before the event starts, at 12:00 PM Friday, July 10th, we will no longer be accepting teams that sign up, and seeds/clans will be announced and locked into place. In addition, clans accepted will have their members locked for the duration of the event, any players that are added after the cut off will not be allowed to play.

Maps/Vetoing

1. SG4
2. Par72
3. Holiday Resort
4. Turbulence
5. Zone 85
6. Alaskan Village
7. Valleyside University

Our map pool will consist of these 7 maps, which teams will then veto down to a pool of 3 - the first team to win 2 of these maps will be declared the winner. Teams will alternate vetoing maps until these 3 remain, and the higher seeded team will be awarded first veto, so even if you are safely in the top 16, further grinding may reward you in the tournament.

Rules/Blacklist

Any action for which you would be muted/kicked/banned on the normal Badlion practice servers will cause the same punishment, if not to a much harsher extent than usual. In addition, under certain circumstances, a user may be blacklisted and/or their clan may be disqualified. For egregious behaviors, those involved will receive blacklists and their teams will be dismissed from the event - we do this to make sure you understand, your clan is your responsibility, keep your players in check. Examples of such actions include, but are not limited to:

- Use of any type of illegal modification/hack during a tournament, as more thoroughly explained in the Badlion rules.
- Significant poor sportsmanship or disrespect, such as trash talk towards Tournament Staff or fellow competitors.
- Malicious use of bugs to win matches.
- Inability to show up to matches.
- Conscious resistance to Tournament Staff instruction.

Remember: Only individuals guilty of these actions will receive black lists, however, in addition, their clan will be disqualified. The blacklist for clan events will be set to 1 clan event - this means you may not play in the next large team tournament, but you may still participate in 1v1, 2v2, and similar events. You may appeal any blacklist on the forums afterwards, whether to apologize or contest our decision.

Looking Forward

We definitely want to host more clan events in the future - hopefully bigger, and better. I know that 16 teams seems small, but, we want to make sure that along the way, even while dreaming big, we keep things well-run and enjoyable for you players - we would much rather host a great small tournament than a huge flop. At the end of this event, I will be putting out a feedback post, and greatly encourage you all to give input on how we can improve. The enjoyment of you players and viewers is the most important thing to us - do not hesitate to help us make Badlion events as great as they can be!
