First topic message reminder :
We are planning to postpone Neo Battle City 2 for July in order to run this tournament. Many people have PMed me asking to run a tournament that was similar to the world cup. However, as many of you know KC is running an event similar to this so I felt that doing the same would be unoriginal and not too much fun, but I finally came up with some rules to help me with this issue and so I present to you TDA's 2010 World Cup Tournament.
::Concept::
The concept is simple. We are emulating the world cup with duels instead of soccer matches. If you know how the world cup tournament works then you'll know how this works if not then I will explain.
::Rules::
- Thirty-two players will sign up, and each player may choose to represent his/her country. We're pretty sure that there are less than thirty-two countries in TDA (I could be wrong) so a country may be represented more than once.
::First Stage::
- Four player will be randomly assigned to a group (total of eight groups) and each member of a group will have to face each other (total of three matches per member)
- Getting a win will earn you three points, a draw will get both players 1 point, and a loss will earn no points.
- At the end of all the matches the two players with most points out of each group will advance to stage two. In the event of a tie for points we will look at duels for and duels against (much like the GF and GA system)
- But wait it's impossible to get a draw in yugioh right? Wrong. This tournament will be special because every matches won't be best two out of three.
- Matches in this tournament will consist of four duels each, and the only way to win is to win 3 or 4 duels (3-1, 4-0) meaning that you can still get a 2-2 outcome which will result as a draw.
- You cannot stop dueling once you get three wins like you'd do in a regular two out of three match. You must duel your opponents four times in order to complete the match.
::Second Stage::
- Second stage will be a traditional sixteen player knock off tournament.
- In this stage we will revert to the traditional two out of three match system and the best duelist will win.
::Rewards::
1st Place:
- An official TDA User bar made by me
- A custom banner of your choice with the rank "TDA World Cup Champion"
- 500 SC
- Any banned card of his/her choice for the neo battle city tournament in addition to his draft pick choice.
2nd Place:
- 500 SC + 1 SP
- Any banned card of his/her choice for the neo battle city tournament in addition to his draft pick choice.
3rd Place:
- Any banned card of his/her choice for the neo battle city tournament in addition to his draft pick choice.
::Sign Up Rules::
- This tournament will be a bit long so make sure to have time to duel if you will sign up.
- You must commit towards getting your matches done otherwise you will be subbed.
- Upon signing up you must join the following network:
TDA World Cup // No password
