2v2 Conquest Tanks Cup [REGISTRATION]

Hi everyone,

With everything getting so quiet recently I decided to host a tank tournament. On this thread, you can register your team or join an existing one if you don't have any.

All relevant info concerning the cup can be found below:

1. Format

- The cup will be a single elimination knockout tournament. There is room for 8 teams.
- The game mode of the competition will be 2v2 Conquest.
- Each match will consist of a single map and two rounds will be played per match.
- Each round will be 20 minutes long.

2. Rules

- Only tanks are allowed, any form of infantry action outside of your tank is forbidden except to repair it.
- Each contestant must have a working version of the PunkBuster client.
- Each contestant will record their games. After each game, the recordings will be sent to the cup administrator via PM on SiMPLE. The recordings will then be uploaded to the YouTube channel for everyone to see. If you already have a YT channel you can also upload your recordings there.
- The final game might be casted (no promises) on Twitch
- Each contestant must have a Discord account. A Discord server will be created for match arranging purposes

3. Maps

- Different tank ladder maps will be played for each stage of the competition
- Since we have three stages to go through (Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and the Final), the map pool might be something like TL_Cambrai, TL_Aberdeen and TL_Tank_Arena. I'm open to suggestions though

4. Servers

- BF League servers will be used for the games since all of them already come with the tank ladder maps

5. Match results and rankings

- All match results and rankings will be reported in a seperate thread in the SiMPLE forums (not the Discord)

6. Registration

To register, please fill in the following form and post it as a reply to this thead:

1. Your team name + tag
2. Your team members
3. The Discord IDs of each member of your team
4. Whether you and your team members read the rules and acknowledge them

7. Match calendar

The cup will start once the registration phase is over. Once we get enough teams (8), the games will occur each weekend (Saturday and Sunday) at 20:30 CET.

The Discord server is coming up, I will post the link for it here once it's ready. There will also be a YouTube server and Twitch channel set up shortly.

Discord makes things easier for contacting your opponents but that’s fine, just make sure you check your SiMPLE PMs.

He doesnt need a dc to do this, he has the easiest way to contact his single teammate - go to house and close contact

Re: 2v2 Conquest Tanks Cup [REGISTRATION]

1. Your team name + tag
Tentatively (not final  yet)  The Lazy Bastards [TLB]

2. Your team members
LuccaWulf
FlameHaze

3. The Discord IDs of each member of your team
You can look it up

4. Whether you and your team members read the rules and acknowledge them
Confirmed.

Per your request for suggestions. 
1. Multiple Rounds on a map is a bad idea and I personally never saw a ladder do this before.  Maps favor some skills over others, ending up on a map that favors your opponents is fine if the next one doesn't or favors you.  It's like a new battle with different considerations, but 2 rounds on the same map is very demoralizing to the losing team of round 1.  (I know from personal experience).  When the one Ladder we won we faced our rivals on 2 maps without planes!!!

2. Normally one round on 3 maps, you play the first 2 maps and 3rd one is used as a tie breaker if teams are 1-1.  The specific maps are revealed to the teams 1 week prior to the match.

3. One teams get to pick first and third round map, other team gets home field advantage by having round one / three played on their server. 

Well that's how it was done back in the day, let me know if you like these ideas.

Looking forward to it.

Hi FlameHaze, thanks for registering your team and your suggestions.

The format of this competition is a single elimination knockout tournament meaning if you lose once you’re out. It’s not a ladder, although I might make one in the future if there is interest for it. We might also explore doing a ladder if we don’t have enough teams for the single elimination tournament.

Teams usually do two rounds per map, but switch sides after each round. This makes the match interesting and not redundant by playing on the same side twice.
