Tournament Set-Up
-- This will be a 32 player, 1 vs. 1 double elimination bracket styled tournament. Please note that a minimum 98 percent turn percentage is required to be admitted into the tournament.
-- All 32 players will begin in the Alpha Bracket. The opening bracket is determined via random.org.
-- The Alpha Bracket will use a different map each round (See listing below).
-- Win your Alpha Round and continue to compete in the Alpha Bracket.
-- Losers of each Alpha Round will be moved to the Beta Bracket.
-- The Beta Bracket will use the Antarctica map. If the Antarctica map gets quenched (is no longer officially Beta), it will still be considered Beta for the sake of this tournament.
-- Win a match in the Beta Bracket and advance to the next round. Lose a match in the Beta Bracket and you're eliminated.
-- The eventual Alpha Champion and Beta Champion will play a game (Round 9) on the Beta map. If the Alpha Champion wins that match, then the Beta Champion will have lost twice and the tournament will be completed and the Alpha Champion wins the tournament. If the Beta Champion wins that match (Round 9), then a do or die game (Round 10) will be played on the Alpha Map.
-- Also, note that the Alpha Bracket Runner-Up (Loser Of Round Alpha Round 5) goes to the Beta Final in Round 8. Otherwise Alpha losers always play in the following Beta Round. If you haven't deciphered it already, you play less games in the Alpha Bracket. Therefore it pays to win
. The road to victory is much tougher on the Beta side of the bracket.Alpha Maps
