Title: Tournament hosting - Rules and how-to's.
Post by: Rank Up on March 09, 2015, 09:05:17 AM
Welcome to the tournament area, where topics are made in which applicants list what is asked of them and it makes organising tournaments all the more fun and easier. There are a several standards and rules that need to be followed which i will state in this post.


STANDARD TOURNAMENT RULINGS:






HOW TO APPLY:

While applying, be sure to state your IGN (In game name), the clan you will be using, your timezone and any other content that the host asks of you. (Be wary of the legitimity of information that you ask/is asked of you.

EXAMPLE:

Devour - [Neo Nectar / Shadow Paladin] - Timezone: GMT+1 (Amstardam, Berlin, Ljubljana, Zagreb)





FAQ (Frequently asked Questions):

1. How do i host a tournament?

Quote
Create a topic in this section where you state the rules (respect the rules given above aswell) which you choose by your personal prefference. State when is the tournament starting (Exact time) and calculate the time to match the time of GMT+0 (London). Make a list on your main post which you'll be updating with names and clans that the applicants will be using.

EXAMPLE:

Participants:    Devour - [Neo Nectar]
                     Devour2 - [Shadow Paladin]
                     Devour3 - [Dimensional Police]

2. How many hours/days prior to the tournament do I need to make the thread?

Quote
It is entirely up to you. However, notice that the more time people have to sign up for the tournament, the more people will join that tournament. If it's a regular single elimination / gunslinger tournament, it's benefitial that you make the thread 1-3 hours before the tournament starts. Bigger event need up to a day. Official tournaments' topics hosted by the staff will be made a couple of days prior to the event.

3. How do i inform people of my tournament?

Quote
Link it to a couple of groups you're in and even share the information in rooms of CFA. Don't spam though. Spam isn't appritiated and will result in warnings in game which may also lead to a ban if the prior warning(s) weren't payed respect to.

4. Can i join my own tournaments?

Quote
Yes, you may. However, i suggest you don't. Organising a tournament is difficult enough, and keeping score is even more difficult, not to mention you may be accused of mixing yourself with the perfect opponent (cheating, basically) which, in most cases, is correct. People do tend to overuse their host power, thusly, i sugegst you don't.


Any other information you may want to know is enlisted on bushiroads pages regarding tournaments. FAQ's will be updated if there is a need to do so (The more you ask, the more I answer).
