Birthday 4v4 Tournament!

Written by: Nicola
Date: Friday, September 17th, 2021
Addressed to: Everyone


The winning team will earn 2000 credits and an honours line!
The team that takes second place will get 1000 credits.

The format will be one of two depending on the number of signups.
If a small number of teams:
- Best of threes, where everyone fights everyone.
- Points will be assigned to wins, those with the most points at the end of their best of threes will win.
- Tie breakers will be fought if needed.
If a larger number of teams signup:
- We'll run a double elimination tournament bracket, a la Twins.

Rules:
- No Avatar.
- No Relics.
- No Mining mineral bonuses.
- No Atlatl talismans.
- No Soulspears.
- No Truenames not gained within the match itself.
- No Shadowmancy shadows not gained within the match itself.
- No Artefacts that do not belong to you.
- No defences from a class that your team is not -actively- playing. This includes runes.
- No Divine favours of any kind: we will remove these if you have them when you show up to compete if needed.
- You may not bring special quest bonuses into the arena.
- You may swap between lesser and dragon/elemental forms at will while in the arena. You may not change lesserform class while in the arena.
- Teams may use any arena they wish for their bout, providing both teams agree. If no agreement can be reached (or no arena is accessible to both parties), they should use the Delos arena.
- When two teams enter the arena, the fight has started. THERE IS NO GRACE PERIOD! We will not rerun if one team wasn't ready.
- Though unfortunate, we will not rerun bouts due to client disconnections or similar.
- If you're not sure if something is allowed, ask me privately in advance. If it isn't and your opponents contest it and we agree, we reserve the right to rerun the fight based on our judgement.
- You may pre-raise vibrations (excluding cataclysm), rites, and harmonics outside the arena.
- You may pre-summon class-based loyals outside the arena.
- You may not pre-miriad outside the arena. Miriading in the arena is fine.
- No pre-generated kai or shin when outside the arena. If you're going to do this, it must be once the fight has started.
- Lifestones are permitted as normal.
- Lucrescent nuts are permitted.
- You may not receive help from anyone outside the arena in any form, indirectly or otherwise. Not even if you are starving to death and would have won the fight honest otherwise.
- You may change class between bouts.

To participate:
Have ONE PERSON from the team message me (Nicola) with your Team name, and the names of your four team members before the ETA reaches DONE on UPCOMING!

Penned by My hand on the 22nd of Glacian, in the year 868 AF.
