CF ET 2015: Announcement & Signup information

General information

The Crossfire ET Tournament Season 1 is based on earlier Crossfire Tournament editions with some little adjustments. We are running cups for the following formats: 2on2, 3on3 & 6on6.

This year is decided to introduce a new system for the play offs compared to earlier editions. With this system we hope to make the group stage more attractive to the teams. The results of the group stage will be used to form two different play offs. Once the group stage is finished, the two teams with the highest ranking will fight against eachother in a Champions bracket. Depending on the number of sign ups, the two or three lowest teams per poule will fight eachother in a Consolation bracket.

Crossfire ET Tournaments Season 1 will be featuring a 2on2 format which hasn't been played in tournaments for a while. To introduce this format, we decided to be selective in the number of sign ups. We will allow a total number of either 8 or 10 2on2 teams. In case of more than 10 sign ups, the admins will decide what teams will be allowed to play in this tournament.

The cup starts with a Group stage, followed by a Playoff stage, which is splitted into 2 brackets. Crossfire ET Tournament Season 1 will end with a final battle for the Super cup between the Champions bracket winner and the Consolation bracket winner in a best of 5 match.

Group stage

We are aiming on groups of 4 teams each. If it happens that we have a number of teams which equals a multiple of 5, then the groups will consists of 5 teams each. We will try to avoid an odd number of teams. The maps during the group stage are forced. Each matchweek, two forced maps will be picked from the maplist and the decider map will be chosen with a poll by the community. The decider will be a map which is not listed in the current maplist.
(The maps of each matchweek will be announced when the groups are published).

Playoffs:

In the playoffs the top 2 of each group will fight against eachother in the Champions Bracket (Double Elemination). In case the groups have 4 teams (5 teams) each, the lowest 2 teams (3 teams) of each group will advance to fight against eachother in the Consolation Bracket (Double Elemination).
The maps in the playoffs are not forced. The maplist during the playoff stage will consist of the current maplist, which can be found under Maps.
