Big Simple Tourny 2 - Return of the BST

[EleMENTAL]

Before we start out, I would just like everyone to know the tournament was origanally ran by X-Useme. Here is the origanal thread. (http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25112&highlight=Big+Simple+Tourney)
This tournament was a big hit last time it was run, so i thought I would bring it back and see if the champions can retain their titles.
These rules are copied directly from the origanal thread.


Rules

-There are three divisions: Turtle, Freestyle, Grey.

-People sign up for each category and only play matches of that style.

-There will be three separate winners, one for each category.

-You only get one chance, if you lose, you're out.

-Each person may sign up for only one category.

- Alpha Rules will be used for the turtle matches.
If you and your opponent can both agree on an old school turt, be my guest.

-No drops are allowed to be used in any divisions.

Example

Let’s say 32 people sign up for Turtle.

In round 1, there would be 16 matches played, so there would be 16 remaining players.
In round 2, there would be 8 matches played, so there would be 8 remaining players.
In the quarter-finals, there would be 4 matches played, so there would be 4 remaining player.
In the semi-finals, there would be 2 matches played, so there would be 2 remaining players.
In the finals, there would be 1 match played, so there will be 1 final winner.

This will determine the BST Turtle Champion, the BST Freestyle Champion, and the BST Grey Champion.

To determine the BST Overall Champion, these three players will play each other in a face-off that will be announced later.


Clans

To add a little spice to the tournament, I have decided to put each player’s clan by their name. This is not meant to make it a battle of the clans in any way, shape, or form. The reason for this gesture is that there is a good player in every clan that is sometimes underestimated due to his or her clan. By adding the clan of each player, spectators will be shocked to see what fabulous players some of these lesser clans have. This will also give bigger clans some new meat for recruitment.

If you are in more than one clan, choose one of them to represent.

Important Notes

If you are in a match and your opponent happens to d/c, take a screenshot of the match. Post it in the thread with a description of how the match was going, as well as what color you were. From hearing both sides of the story, I will decide upon a rematch depending on whether or not the player had a definite lead.

Since this is an individual tournament, I will have no problem disqualifying you if you do not play your matches in time. In the case that 1 player consistently tries to find their opponent, but the opponent is no where to be found; an exception will most likely be made.

All brackets and byes will be determined randomly. I will not pair up any two players to make the games more interesting.

Prize

Being crowned the Best Turtler, Best Grey, Best Freestyle

*cough* I mean, I have no emotion as to who wins.

[Geoffrey]

Eh i cannot wait for this tournament. I think it is anyones to win. But there are going to be some amazing matches to be played. But i think an Aussie player will come out with teh Crown!

[Ciompi]

Considering there were about twice as many participants in the first BST, I don't see what the big rush is. How bad could it be to wait a week and actively try to draw people into it?

Oh and El, please note the siggy and put me down as Mithrandir, not Ciompi. Because, I'm Mithrandir, and not Ciompi. ;)

Ok, updated.

[gigolojlo gl]

Let's get this tourney started Ele.

[Zander]

I'm really anxious for it to start as well...but I think you should wait until you get around 50 players...or more...say 10 turtlers 20 free and 20 grey, maybe

[bludhoundz]

I'd say get 16 turtlers (since there are fewer of them), and 24 of the other 2.

This one is definitely smaller scale than the last one.. but it will still be good.
