Congratulations to Nicaragua, commiserations to nevermore! Thank you to players, admins, streamers, casters! GGs!

1. Nicaragua ( snapcase, Hal_9000, farnish, tomator, shytaN, erh)
2. nevermore ( DEZ, emp, myT, Oldgamer, laachta, rokky)
3. Team nvc ( nvc, dys, b5k, 17, veliars, davis)

Please note the following changes:

1. This will be a single elimination tournament;
2. The Draft and the Tournament will occur on the same day; and,
3. There is a hard-cap of 48 players, on a first come, first server basis. Players can continue to sign-up, and maybe required as a substitute for an unavailable player.

TBA

* Denotes captains who are on standby. These players will be captains if required, say for example if we have more players sign-up, or if another captain drops out.

The selection process draft will commence at 09:00 CDT, 26 April 2014, and the tournament will proceed at 11:00 CDT, 26 April 2014.

Players will sign up to be eligible for the Live Draft, from today, until the draft starts, or April 26, 2014, from which the admins will select the captains. The captains will be picked on skill, and experience, and they will select their teams from the remaining player base.

To sign up for the Live Draft, please contact nekon, or xerosawyer, via #DraftPunk, on irc.quaknet.org, or via email to xerosawyer@gmail.com.

Please include your alias, location, and position of play (attack, defence, class?).

Check-in for the Draft begins at 08:00 CDT, 26 April 2014, ending by 09:00 CDT, 26 April 2014. The draft will begin five, to ten minutes after check-in is closed. This is the mandatory check-in process.

All players who wish to play must be signed up ahead of time, and must be check-in via IRC. Players who sign, and do not attend the Live Draft, will not be eligible to play!

The pre-selected captains will have voice (“+”) in the channel, and the channel will be moderated. Each captain will have setup their own IRC channel, and once selected by a captain, the player MUST go to that captain’s channel. Captains communicate with admins and schedule games with other captains.

The Tournament: The tournament will commence on 11:00 CDT, 26 April 2014.

The Format: This tournament will be a single elimination bracket, where each game is a best out of three. The Grand Finals will consist of one best of five set.

The format of this tournament will be 5v5, however, each team will also carry one substitutes, for a total of six players. Teams are encouraged to allow all players for a chance to compete, or and to remember that they can use their substitute player as a coach.

Map Selection: Teams will flip a coin-toss (/callvote random 2) for first pick, the loser will select the second map. For the third map, the team who selected the second map will drop the first map, and the team who picked the first map, repeat, until there is one map left. So, (1) Pick, (2) Pick, (2) Drop, (1) Drop, (2) Pick.

Servers: The loser of the map selection, or the team who picks the second map, will select the first server, and the winner of the map selection, or the team who picks the first map, will select the second server. If there is a tie-breaking game, the teams must find an agreeable server. If they cannot reach an agreement, the server will be selected by an administrator.

All servers are to use NTF rules.

Cheating: All forms of cheating (aimhack, wallhack, aliasing) are prohibited, and will result in an immediate ban, and replacement.

Rule Interpretation: Admins have final say over the interpretation of the rules, and can unilaterally enforce a course of action if it has not been explicitly covered in the rules.

08:00 CDT, 26 April 2014 : Check-In Opens
09:00 CDT, 26 April 2014 : Check-In Closes / Draft Selection Begins
11:00 CDT, 26 April 2014 : Round One
12:15 CDT, 26 April 2014 : Round Two
