Teeworlds Tournaments #1 (Page 1 of 2)

Inspired by the Vanilla Revival Initiative, in order to attract more players and improve competitive vanilla.
We (devs, support staff and part of the community) proudly present the:

Teeworlds Tournaments Series

The first tournament will be an 1vs1 DeathMatch - Tournament, taking place on 26th march 2014, 7 P.M (CET)!
You will fight several 1vs1 rounds in single elimination mode.
Final and Semi-Finals will be best of 5, while all other matches will be best of 3.
The played maps can vary. The first is chosen randomly. The loser of the first round picks the second map, the loser of the second round the third map etc.
The scorelimit is set to 10 points without a timelimit.

You can sign up via Challonge.com (or simply send a PM via Teeworlds.com (no guarantee!)).
Everyone is free to join and take part in this tournament. It does not matter whether you are a low or high skilled player, from EU or not. There is no limitation. We encourage everyone to take part in this tournament and prove your skills. No need to mention you will gain prestige and respect from others if you succeed.

Do not hesitate and grab your slot, as the number of participants is limited to 32 players!
Edit: Altough all slots are taken (yes, we did it!), you can still keep signin up.
You will be put on a waiting list and in case that somebody cancels, you will be moved to the slot.
(Plus we can see how much interest there is for further tournaments!)

The servers are running a for tournament streaming purposes coded modification. Although there are not many differences to vanilla there are some:
    - Reserved Slots were added to guarantee free slots for participiants and the team.
    - Spectators are prohibited to use the public chat to avoid cheating.
    - We prepared a client for streamers who share the stream with a broader audience.
       They can zoom out for improved streaming experience!
    - In addition, our servers will send health- and armor information.

Rules:

1. The first player reaching the scorelimit will win the match.

2. To guarantee a maximum live-stream performance, all participants have to join our IRC:
   irc.quakenet.org, channel: #TeeworldsTournaments.

3. Our team will assign you and your opponent (according to the bracket) to one of our servers. The match can't take place anywhere else.

4. You have to follow our directives when a team-member is there. (A round will not begin if we do not start it)

5. If you aren't in IRC and/or do not react for 10 minutes after your match started, you will get deff-loss and your opponent wins.
   If you don't appear to your first match, you will be replaced by a player on the waiting list.

6. Your IRC Nickname has to be equal to your nickname in the bracket (respectively to your nickname on teeworlds.com, when you were added via PM)

7. You may not request a (short) pause during a round, but after it.

8. After each match, both participants have to send us the results via demo-file (or screenshots) verifying the results. (3 rounds = 3 screenshots etc.)

9. Using a bot, any kind of tool not provided by the official teeworlds version or watching a stream during your match (or spectating with a second client), means immediate disqualification from this and further tournaments.

10. You may use Anti-Ping to work against high latency.

11. We reserve the right to change the rules, even during a tournament.
