CC5 Seeding tournaments

As promised for the Crossfire Challenge 5 we'll be running seeding tournaments to give the most accurate groups and seeds for the event. The goal is to use this tournament to directly place teams into their groups for the Crossfire event, however we don't want to actually determine winners of course!

So the two seeding tournaments will operate in a ONE day cup format that will stop short of crowning champions. There are pro's and con's to running a one day cup, the biggest con being 'what if our star player cannot make that 1 day', however the number of exams ongoing right now and the other tournaments that already live make running a longer event a bit of a minefield for that same reason. So we're of course going to have to be lenient with use of merc's but of course we will be looking at teams and saying well if you lose Ronner from your lineup you cannot replace him with mystic (or for CoD fans, you cannot replace Morg with someone who can shoot) for example.

So here are the dates for the tournaments (we've put them as close to the LAN as possible)

Enemy Territory - Sunday December 7th

Call of Duty 4 - Sunday November 30th

The exact bracket system designed by Adacore to give the most accurate reading will be posted in due course. However the goal is to 100% transparent so if Pink Gorillas lose both matches, then they're in the lowest seeding group. Put it in your diary!

On a side note, in the past week we've had a number of either late signups or 'oh shit my manager didnt pay' comments. This is not fatal, but it must be sorted out ASAP, contact me on either irc or via email to sort yourself out.
