I'm looking for 16 individual players to sign up for my first installment of Beat the Masters. You'll have to play some of the toughest competition on CC to win this. Each round you'll play a different Master and whichever individual has the most wins at the end will be crowned champion. Note that some of the masters maps are team settings, for these you will have to provide me with the name of three people who will assist you in playing these maps, if you don't have three others just say so and I can pair you up with other players in the tournament and you can work together for the win. Your supporting cast will not be eligible for the tournament win unless they are also part of this tournament. This tournament is for premium players only though you can use a freemium as a supporting cast member just please make sure they leave room in their game count so there is no delay.
Edit 6/23, no restrictions For now, I am going to restrict this to players who have completed LESS than 1500 games though I will lift that if sign ups are slow.
If there is a tie between 2 players, a best of 5 random map will be used to determine champion. If the tie is between more than 3-6 players, a multi-game round robin will be used. If it is 7 or more, you will be able to choose to play against a master that you lost to and then the tiebreaker will be revisited.
I am hoping to have 15 Master players/teams (not sure if I'll get there or not) for you to compete against and you can simply opt out of up to 4 maps & settings if you simply do not want to play those. You have to clearly request to opt out via PM to me. Since it is based on total wins, it doesn't benefit you to opt out as it just gives you one last chance to collect a win.
All games must be joined within 48 hours otherwise you will be removed from the tournament. Reserves will be taken until all first round games have started.
Note that the Masters are not eligible to win this tournament and will only play games on their choice of home map.
