05. Maps
Map pool is: AEROWALK, DM2, DM4, DM6 and ZTNDM3.
If both teams agree they can form own individual map pool for their particular game which played by the rules of the game. The amount of maps in this individual pool is always odd and the size of it could not be less than necessary to play for current game round (i.e. 3 for BO3 and 5 for BO5).
Additional maps could be added to the map pool if both teams agree. For this case the admin approval is necessary to avoid non 2on2 maps (dmm4/race/tf etc). If teams decide to include maps not from map pool to their individual pool, then they MUST to play these maps. Each map can be played only one time in any match.
Best-of-Five-Matches
All games are BO5! Two examples for the rules follow. The team which is higher seeded¹ is T1, the other team is T2.
Example 1:
T1 decides to pick the first map.The next map is chosen by T2.The next map is chosen by T1.The next map is chosen by T2.If a fifth map is necessary it is determined by tossing from the remaining maps: T2-T1.
Example 2:
T1 decides that T2 has to pick the first map.The next map is chosen by T1.The next map is chosen by T2.The next map is chosen by T1.If a fifth map is necessary it is determined by tossing from the remaining maps: T1-T2.
¹ The higher seeded team is marked in the "Next match" section of the User-Panel.
06. Cheating/Scripts/Whining/Insulting
Disconnecting voluntarily during a match means a straight walkover on current map (unless "timed out" - decision by admins).No unnecessary whining.Lame people will be treated lame, nice people will be treated nice.Any kind of idling, lameness or insulting will not be tolerated and can lead to WO in the current game or to an ban for the current season.Scripts are not allowed. Make sure to check that your opponent has them turned off before starting to play.
07. Reporting matches
The winner of the game reports the match results as soon as possible using the 'Report Match' function on the Tournament page. If the winner somehow can't provide a match report the other team will get permission to do it. Screenshots from the matches must also be uploaded and can be in any format. Players also have the ability to crop their screenshots if they are too big. Just check 'crop screenshots' when reporting and a new window pops up for each screenshot you wanna crop. No match reports will be registered before the match has been reported 100% correct. No exceptions!
08. Servers
Each time the server is selected based on the geographical location of the opponents. If opponents cannot agree on a server, they should contact one of the admins. The admin's decision to choose a server is final.
09. Timeframe
All matches will have a deadline. If players can't organize themselves to get games played and reported by the end of the deadline, WO will be given to the team that proved to the WO Officer, that they really tried to make the game happen. Please report your activity to WO Officer (or an admin, if can't find WO Officer) before the deadline is over.
The scheduling could be done privately by the players themselves, but the time/dates of the game and selected map pool should be reported to the #masters channel of the official Thunderdome Discord Server.
If both teams express no interest at all in playing the match, then both teams lose, and as the case may be one or both of them are kicked out of the tournament.
Deadlines for each stage of the tournament will be announced at the "Next Match" link in the User-Panel and will be advertised on the #masters channel of Thunderdome Discord Server.
In order to guarantee some coverage of the bigger games, the schedules for the WB Final, LB Final and Grand Final have to be arranged with an admin.
WO Officer this season is gLAd. The last word on the issue of putting WO behind him.
10. Tournament system
Below we use the abbreviation WB for winner's bracket and LB for loser's bracket.
The initial seedings is done manually by the admins depending on players results in other 2on2 tournaments and their games on http://stats.quakeworld.nu. The seeding number isn't shown to the teams or public. The teams only get to know if they are seeded higher than their opponents so that they can proceed with the map-choosing method explained earlier.
Teams who lose their WB-game are knocked into the LB. They are seeded again into the LB according to their match-number in the WB, in order to prevent that a team has to play his WB-opponent who sent him to LB too near in the future. Teams who lose their LB-game are out.
11. Tournament admins
The admins are there to help you, so if you ever need our assistance or have any questions, you can find us in the channel #general, on Thunderdome Discord.
12. Communication
All communication regarding to the map scheduling and other questions might happen in the following ways: - by mail to admins and between players;
- on Official Discord server - all players must connect to this discord server and not mute it!
