Combat Tournaments Postponed

Written by: Dranor, God of Imagination
Date: Tuesday, April 8th, 2008
Addressed to: Everyone


I've decided to postpone tonight's round of the 5 vs 5 tournament to
finish and properly test some more code to help make running the
tournament easier on me and to make it run much smoother for you.

I'm also going to postpone tomorrow night's first road of the 1 vs 1
tournament. The 5 vs 5 tournament will resume at 02:00 GMT, on Saturday,
April 12th, and the 1 vs 1 tournament will begin at 04:00 GMT, on
Sunday, April 13th.

I've created a formal structure for teams that will be participating in
the tournament. Team leaders can now add people to their team, set
members as active/inactive for the next match, and give their team a
name..

Each team can have a maximum of 7 people. You cannot remove someone from
your team. Each team can only have, at most, 5 people active at one
time. This allows your team to maintain two alternates should one or two
people from your team not show up.

Each member of your team who participates in each match will receive a
participation point. If your team places in the tournament and receives
a prize, the prize will be divided amongst the team members according to
the ratio of matches participated in. For example, if Jack participates
in 6 matches, and Jill participates in 4 matches, and their team comes
in first, Jack will receive 60 tournament points and Jill will receive
40 tournament points.

Relevant commands:

Everyone
----------
- TEAM RANKINGS

Team Members
--------------
- TEAM SHOW

Team Leaders
--------------
- TEAM ADDMEMBER <person>
- TEAM ACTIVATE <person>
- TEAM DEACTIVATE <person>
- TEAM NAME <new name>

In a round-robin tournament like the team tournament, every single team
faces every other team once. The teams are then ranked in order
according to the number of wins they have. The top 8 teams in wins after
the round-robin phase will move on to a single-elimination bracket
tournament.

The #1 team will face the #8 team, the #2 team will face the #7 team,
the #3 team will face the #6 team, the #4 team will face the #5 team.
Play will move on through the bracket until one team is left standing.

Please let me know of any problems you have when interacting with the
new formal team structures.
