What's a Tournament
A tournament (or as some players call them, a tourney) is an organized competition consisting of at least 2 rounds of elimination games, either for teams or singles. You would need to win each round to advance in the tournament, and the winner would be the one who comes out victorious in the final round.
Finding, Joining Tournaments
Finding and joining an open Tournament
- Click one of the tournament banners.
Now your name would be shown on the Player's list. Along with that, the tournament would be highlighted in the tournament page. (ie. I had joined Map Explorer British Isles, so it is highlighted) All you need to do now is to wait for the tournament to fill up, and into the tourney you go!
Note: If you want to drop out from a tournament, you can do so before the tournament starts. Just get to the specific tournament, and click the drop out button, which would be there instead of the Join Now button.
Membership Requirements
Unfortunately, tournament is a feature for Strategist and Commander Classes only. If you want to join a tournament, you would need to upgrade to either of these classes. For more information, visit User Classes.
How do tournaments work?
Structure of Elimination
Lets say there is a 3 round tournament going. The first round has 8 four player games. The one and only winner of each would advance to the next round - 8 winners in total. The second round has 2 four player games. The one and only winner of each would advance to the next round - 2 in total. The third and final round has 1 two player game. The winner would take the glory, and the non-winning finalist (or the loser...) would feel sorry.
Only one player (or one team) would be able to advance to the next round per game. If you get eliminated... End of story.
Automatic Running
After a tournament had been created by one of the Tournament Organisers and had been opened to the public to join, everything would be automatic. In that meaning:
- You will be automatically put into a game, and the game would automatically start.
- You will automatically be placed into the next round if you have won the current round.
- You will automatically be given the tournament pot (or your portion of the pot) if you reach the requirement of getting it. (ie. Winning or sometimes getting into the finals)
Randomized games and teams
Players would be randomly placed by the system into each round, if there are more than one game in that round. For example, the first round of a tourney has 6 games of 6 players, then the 36 players would be randomly put into one of them. In a team tournament, who your partner is would still be random. After each round you would most likely have a different partner.
