Post-Season 44 Duel Tournament

This is a Descent 2 1v1 anarchy double elimination tournament. Each player competes with another player on a predetermined level to a kill limit of 20. When 20 is hit, that player must have a lead of two kills. This means if the score is 20 to 18, the player with 20 will win. However, if the score is 20 to 19, the game will continue until one of the players has two kills more than the opponent, at which point the player with more kills is the winner. Unlike our previous tournaments, this will be a single elimination tournament. The winner of the tournament will receive a Medal of Victory, and all participants will receive a Medal of Participation.

Requirements

These rules apply to the final stats of the season. You may sign up for the tournament if you do not meet these qualifications yet, but if by the end of the season you still don't have sufficient Game Points or Ranking, you will be removed from the bracket (except for special circumstances and exceptions, see below).
  • Must be a Cadet Ranking or higher to participate.
  • Must have at least 15 Game Points accumulated for the season.
  • Special exceptions: Having competed (no forfeits or disqualifications) in last season's tournament; special invitations by the Tournament Officials.

Game Specifics

All of these rules are the default rules to be used during a match. However, if both players of the match agree to alter any Game Specific rules, they may do so. Any modifications of the Game Specific rules will only apply to the match in question and will not carry on to any subsequent matches.
  • Game to be played: Descent 2
  • Game mode: Anarchy (1 vs 1)
  • Squad/Team based? No
  • Kill Goal: 20 (must be a kill difference of at least 2)
  • Single Elimination
  • Default Rangers rules:
    • Difficulty: Ace
    • Reactor Life: 50 Minutes
    • Invulnerable When Reappearing: Yes
    • Bright Player Ships: Yes
    • Disallowed items: Cloaking device, earthshaker missiles, headlight, helix cannon, invulnerability, omega cannon, phoenix cannon, and smart mines.
  • All Matches will have at least one screenshot (preferably one from each player) sent to a Tournament Official immediately after the match.
  • Both players must report the outcome to a Tournament Official immediately after the match.

Matches

All matches will be played on a predetermined level, which can be located on the bracket chart at the top of the round. All players in a round will play on the same level.

Finals and Grand Finals are best two out of three (you must win two matches to win the round). The first match level is predetermined and will be listed at the top of the bracket chart. Upon completion of the first match the loser will pick the next level to be played from the neutral levels (counterpicks) list.

If the game is to go on to the third and final match of the round, the player that lost the second round will pick the next level to play from the list of neutral levels (counterpicks). The only restriction to this is that a player cannot pick the level on which they have already won in this round. They can, however, pick the level on which they have lost. Note that this only applies to this round/step of the bracket. The next step of the bracket will reset the levels that have been won and lost on and this method will repeat.

Neutral Levels (Counterpicks):

TBD

Seeding

Seeding will be broken into two categories, Primary Seed and Secondary Seed. Primary Seed will be seeded by pilot efficiency percent, descending, for all pilots above 50 Game Points for the season. All pilots between 15 and 49 Game Points will be seeded by total Game Points, descending, in a seperate list below the Primary Seed. Anyone that does not meet the 15 Game Point minimum will be removed from the participant list and will not be allowed to compete in the tournament.

Scheduling

Each step of the bracket will be scheduled to play on Saturday. This means Step 1 (the first match) must be complete by 8 February 2014; Step 2 must be complete by 15 February 2014; and so on.
If you have already completed your step of the bracket with time to spare, you may attempt to play your next match before the following Saturday. If time allows, or one of the two players cannot be present that Saturday, it is recommended you plan to play during the week leading up to that Saturday.
We understand that time is a scarce resource, so we are willing to try to work things out so that all matches can be played, and to try to avoid as many disqualifications as possible. For this reason the following situations are highly recommended to be done by all players.
  • All players should communicate with their opponent to decide upon a time to play their match.
  • If two players cannot agree upon or find a mutual time in which to play the match, they may attempt the following, in this order:
    • Contact a Tournament Official and discuss what times you are available to play your match and why you can't come to an agreement on a time with your opponent. If the Tournament Officials cannot find a position for you to play in, they may grant an extension if and only if consent to postpone the next two matches (by winner's next opponent and loser's next opponent) is acquired. At that point an extension will be allowed until the following Tuesday; if a time cannot be agreed upon amongst the players still, a time will be decided for you by a Tournament Official. Note, however, this is a last resort, and is most likely not to occur.
    • If you feel the Tournament Officials have not done everything in their power to achieve an agreement to play your match before or immediately after the next bracket has begun, you may contact the Tournament Sponsors and discuss with them why you feel the Tournament Officials have neglected your situation. If the Tournament Officials come to a decision in which not enough was done about the situation as could have been, you will be given a bye for the round and will automatically be moved to the next step of the bracket.

Game Version

The version to be played is D2X-Rebirth 0.58.1. However since we have such a diverse community with many game versions if both players of a match agree, the game version to be played may be changed to that which they decide (community mods, Rebirth, official release, D2X-XL, etc). If a consensus is not made, 58.1 will be mandatory*. The only exception to this is if one or both players decide that they do not believe 58.1 is stable enough, 57.3 will be the enforced version. If there are any misunderstandings, speak with a tournament official or tournament sponsor.
