ClanBase CUP

[Equillibrium]

Предлогаю тут обсуждать проблемы и непонятки связаные с кубком
Итак...
Groups are done, finally we decided about making 32 groups, all with 4 players. Only the winners of each group will qualify for playoffs, but that will be with Double Elimination system. So, there will be a Winner Bracket, and if somebody lose a game, (s)he can still continue on Loser Bracket where (s)he cannot lose anymore, else (s)he could not reach the finals will be played between the Winner Bracket and Loser Bracket winners. By the way in the first round (1/16 finals) of playoffs A1 will face against B1, C1 vs. D1, E1 vs. F1 and so on.

You can always check the group standings by clicking on "Ranking" in the left menu. And you need select the "Roster" menu for challenging opponents, you must be logged in to do this of course.

Cup will start next week, this week you need schedule your first two games. You can schedule your third game too, but you have time to do that next week too. If you forget scheduling your first two games till Sunday 26th November 22:00 CET, it will be forced to a date selected by the admins. These dates will be Wednesday 21:00 CET and Sunday 21:00 CET in the first week.

1st and 2nd group games : 27 November - 4 December

3rd group game: 4 December - 11 December


Maplist:
Yesterday the poll about your favourite map finished. Most of you selected Silk Road and Beachfront, these will be the 4th and 5th maps of the cup. The final maplist consists:

Main Street

Dover Street

Savannah Steet

Silk Road

Beachfront


Decider:
We modified the cuprules about the decider map. It is still forced to play after a draw, but it is announced by us for every week. It's important that you cannot choose decider map as your homemap. So for example if the decider is Main Street for the first games, you can select one of the other 4 maps (Dover Street, Savannah Street, Silk Road, Beachfront) as your homemap.

The deciders for the

first games: Main Steet

second games: Dover Street

third games: Savannah Street


As there is 2 matches the first week, the system does not let us block the decider map. Therefore, anyone challenging his war with the decider map will see his homemap changed to another map at the supervisor's convenience.


Car selection:
There were some questions about car selection too. Nothing changed, all cars of the normal version can be used, and you cannot use those cars what you can find only in the EA Downloader or Collector's Edition versions.


IRC channel:
We decided about making a channel for the cup and for all ClanBase organised Need For Speed events. We added to our rules, that you must be on this channel at least 10 minutes before the game. You can contact there eachother, so this could help you in arranging games too.
