Gameplay and Format:

2v2 explosives only arena
For the list of restrictions, see the rules section below
Best of 3 with a score limit of 20 with 20 minutes of regulation and unlimited overtime.
Default server: Central. If both captains of each team agree upon a different region, then that will be allowed.
Double Elimination
Maps will be randomly picked by a random number generator.
There will be no tie - maps will be played until one team wins.
Sides will be chosen by a flip of a coin on each map.
There is absolutely no rescheduling so we can get this tournament moving and not have us wait for a team to get people.
In case of a server crash or bug, the game will pick up from whatever the score was prior to the crash.
Example: If a team is up and the server crashes - The map will start over at 20 mins with the consideration of the score still being what it was.
Substitutions will be allowed but subs must be discussed with a tournament admin prior to a match. This won't be tolerated for the most part however.
If someone disconnects in mid game, the match will be paused for no more than 5 min, if that person still is having issues the match can either be resumed as a 2v1 or they can forfeit the match. Subs aren't allowed in this situation!
The plan for this tournament is to get majority of the games in on Saturday with exception to the grand finals. This is so players can plan on just one full day of Tribes with the chance of planning for only 1 or 2 games on Sunday.

Creating Teams:

Signups will be on NATribes.com. The time span is from November 28th @ 3pm est. to December 7th @ 5pm est.
The intent is to have this tournament move quickly so people don't lose interest or simply forget about it
Within the signups, players creating the team will be viewed as captain.
If you need a partner you can look at existing teams needing a mate and have the proper contact info to ensure that everybody wanting to participate will have somebody to par up with
Once teams are made, the captain can pick an appropriate name for their team and begin practicing. Games will start on December 8th at 1pm est.
All teams will have the opportunity to have their own channel in the NATribes mumble unless they choose a different voice server of their own.

Map Pool:

Air Arena
Hinterlands
Lava Arena
Walled In

Rules:

We plan to go with the 2v2 explosives only TWL rules for the most part that are in place with the exception of what has been listed above. For in depth rules visit http://natribes.com/arena-tournament-rules/.
