The KBG - Seeding Tournament

We are almost down to two months before the start of the Krefeld Battleground LAN and we want to invite every 6on6 and 3on3 team to participate in our seeding tournament, to battle for their accurate spots on site. Matchdays will be the upcoming Sundays. Starting times will be 19.00 CET for 3on3 and 21.00 CET for 6on6. While our map pool isn’t yet finalised, we are inviting every participant to give us feedback within the next weeks to make a final decision on this topic.



Every team that paid at least 4 of 6 tickets and has a LAN lineup available will be allowed to participate.
Maps: Bremen B3, Würzburg Radar, Adlernest, Frostbite, Supply, SW Goldrush TE
Tournament Schedule: Starts Sunday, March 26th
Default Match Time: Sundays, 21.00CET


Every team that paid at least 2 of 3 tickets and has the 3rd payment scheduled, will be allowed to participate.
Maps: Adlernest, Frostbite, Supply, Goldrush, Special Delivery TE, ET Ice
Tournament Schedule: Starts Sunday, March 26th
Default Match Time: Sundays, 19.00CET



The lower bracket final and the grand final will not be played as first and second place of the tournament will have their groups set. Due to the uneven amount of teams for a bracket, the losers of 1st round upper bracket won’t have a match in the second week, but in the third. In addition we have a 3rd-round-losers bracket to decide about seedings 9 to 12.

In case your team is not available during easter holidays please let the admins know before the tournament starts, so we can rearrange the default scheduling in case too many teams have issues. Check rule number 7!

We made this schedule expecting every registered team is participating!

Rounds and date:

• 03/26 - 1st round Upper bracket
  
• 04/02 - 2nd round Upper bracket
  
• 04/09 - 1st round lower bracket, 3rd round Upper bracket
  
• 04/16 - 2nd round lower bracket, 4th round upper bracket, 3rd round loser’s round 1
  
• 04/23 - 3rd round lower bracket, 3rd round loser’s round 2
  
• 04/30 - 4th round lower bracket

In addition to the common rules, that we expect you to know, we want to make the following points clear to everyone. In case of issues, our tournament admins will always help out and might start a democratic process on their level to decide. Nonetheless, here are our additional rules:

• (1) Teams must be using their anticipated LAN lineup for the event. If this is going to be an issue, then get in touch with one of the seeding tournament admins.
  
• (2) One stand in will be allowed if he is on the same level as the team and the player he will replace. Admin will confirm in case of issues rating the player.
  
• (3) Every match is played in best-of three format. The maps will be chosen by each team. With the limitation, that every team can pick each map only once. The team with the higher seed needs to pick the map first. Third map is decided by coin toss and map elimination of the remaining maps. If a match has the same map twice because teams can’t pick another map the admins will force the second map.
  
• (4) Every match needs to be on GamesTV.org, match servers are going to be forced
  
• (5) Cheating within any of our competition will result in a ban from the offline and online tournament with no refund from this and any future event we organize
  
• (6) Matches will be played on common global 3on3 and global 6on6 config accordingly
  
• (7) Matches can be rescheduled only if both parties agree. In any case matches need to be played before the next round is scheduled for both lower and upper bracket
  
• (8) Teams not participating in the seeding tournament will be seeded by admins

With these rules set we also have an additional comment to make regarding the recently banned player in CG, juicy: We will not allow him to participate in the seeding tournament because we do not intend to invest the time and afford to review his play for 3rd party tools following the recent events. However, we will allow him to play on LAN with his configs, drivers and other tools reviewed by an admin.

To make sure an issue like this doesn’t come up during the seeding tournament, every match has to be played on gamestv and because we don’t think the demos on gamestv are 100% reliable and accurate for everyone, we do need to ask you to record demos for all your matches.
