Depending on how many people we get, the tournament will likely be set up in the following way:
In the first round, everyone will play three people. At the end of that, everyone who lost two or more is out and everyone who won two or more is in.
After this, it becomes single elimination until there are only two players left. Once we get there, those two players play the best of three games. Whoever wins two of these games wins the tournament! In this last round, you can also only play the same faction once, unless you choose random. For instance, one could play Mordor in the first game, Isengard in the second, and then choose random and get Mordor again for the third game.
Prizes will probably be bragging rights and a custom signature bar, but there are also possibilities when rob gets back of your own Easter egg hero too.
Onto rules and stuff...No MHHs (mini hero hordes, if you don't know what these are then ask the person you're playing). No rushing demolishers, no boats at all except for transport boats. You can rush wildmen, but no getting torches.
All matches will take place on the map FoI2, unless two players can agree on a different map and what spot each one wants. No CAH, no Ring Heroes.
Abuse of the following bugs will not be tolerated:
1) Use of the Lothlorien fortress upgrade Mellyrn Grove without paying for it.
2) Purchase of Fire Stones for MotE catapults without purchasing it from the blacksmith building.
3) Climbing walls with cavalry.
4) Mumakil not requiring Command Points. Please don't build eighty thousand Mumakil.
5) Unlimited Baby Dragon building; limit them to one per statue. (MotE)
Abuse of the following imbalances should not be tolerated:
1) Overuse of the Wights created from Morgul Blade spells or the Angmar sorceror Well of Souls spell.
2) Use of archer bombard. Siege bombard is okay, but archers should not outrange catapults and wtfpwn everything.
Please post your time zone when you sign up. Brackets will be set up by this to make it easier on you Sign-ups will probably last somewhere between 1-3 weeks. It would also be appreciated if people could help advertise on other Bfme related sites.
If you feel that your opponent abused a bug/imbalance or otherwise cheated, post the replay for review.
Good luck and have fun!
