What is the Temple Tournament?
It is a new tournament for the game Cabals organized by me (Mip) with help and sponsorship by Kyy Games.
How is this tournament different from the last one at the start of season 2?
This tournament is not a competition for rating points, but a double elimination tournament. That means if you lose 1 round, you are dropped to the lower tier, losing in the lower tier means elimination. If less than 7 players sign up, it will be a competition style tournament.
What are these rounds you mentioned?
A round lasts a week and consists of 4 matches played against your opponent. Both of you play a hero of each cabal once during these 4 rounds, the order in which is up to the player and secret. The winner of the most of these 4 rounds is declared the winner of your round. Should you tie 2-2 in these 4 games, you play a tie breaker with free choice of hero for both.
Who is my opponent and how do we know we it is a tournament game?
Your opponent is decided by a (until the start of the tournament, but known to the people at Kyy) secret calculation based on your ratings, so you can't game your rating to get a chance to fight specific people. At the start of each week a list of people with their opponent (and forum names) will be posted by me on the forum. You can then pm your opponent to arrange a time for your matches. While playing these matches you temporarily change your name to "player name + tournament" so that in your screenshots it shows you are both playing for the tournament. Both the winner and loser pm me the results of your match. I do not need the screenshots pm'd, I will only ask for them if you send me two different outcomes.
We can't arrange a time together, help?
If you and your opponent can not agree on a time, the matches will be held on sunday at 12:00 GMT (15:00 Kyy Central Time). If I have received no results and one of you doesn't show the other is declared winner and the no-show is eliminated from the tournament. If stated at least a day before that you can't make it, it will only count as a loss. If you both show up, you play the games then.
We arranged at a time, but he didn't show up on the IRC-channel to play the games?
If I am online at that time on the IRC-channel you can talk to me about your opponent being a no-show and send me a screenshot of you both agreeing on this time. You are declared winner, he is declared loser (not eliminated).
If I am not online, any two other participants in the tournament as witnesses who pm me is also good. If none are to be found, that is tough luck, and the match will be held on Sunday, unless the two of you reschedule.
How do I sign up?
You post in the sign-up thread with your account name + rating. Sign up is unitl the 12th of may. This is the sign up thread: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=426
I don't have all four decks and I really want to join, but my brother/sister/friend has the other one, please?
Should you find someone so that you both together have all 4 cabals, you can compete as a team. You need to sign up with both account names + rating on the sign-up thread. Both of you should be available at the same time to play the game, as to not inconvenience the other player. If one of you no-shows, you are both no-shows. You also elect a team captain, he is responsible for pm'ing me the results, no cases of we both thought the other one did it.
