[spoiler=Several Notes - Please read before joining]Several Notes:
Eligibility Rule:
Players must have completed a minimum of 10 games and have an attendance rating of at least 98% to be eligible to join this tournament.
Gameplay is Singles to Doubles. Thus, players must sign-up with an eligible teammate. If you post without a teammate you will not be added to the tournament until a new post is made including the name of your teammate.
Game Length Limit Rule:
A four-month or fifty-round (whichever comes first) limit will be imposed for all games. Highest troop count wins when limit is reached. Clear screenshots from players will be used to settle any potential highest troop count disputes.
Freemium Game Slot Rule:
Freemiums are welcome, but must keep 2 game slots open.
Failure to keep two game slots open after signing up will result in you and your team-mate loosing your spot in the tournament. A new post requesting to join the tournament may be made after both team members have two free game slots.
Join Game Rule:
For the Initial Battles:
Private messages indicating a 24 hour period will be sent out to each player/reserve requesting that they respond via PM within 48 hours with confirmation that they will be available to accept game invitations at some point during the defined 24 hour period. If one or both members of a team fail to respond within 48 hours, their team will be replaced by a reserve team who's members responded.
Once all players respond, game invitations will be sent out at the beginning of the defined 24 hour period. The invitations automatically expire after 24 hours. Players must join their games before the invitation expires.
This setup is needed because team mates are not in the same games for the initial battles.
For the Grand Final:
Game invitations will be sent out via PM. Players will have until the invitation expires (24 hours) to accept their invitation. If both members of the team fail to join, the team will be eliminated. If one member of the team fails to join, a second invitation, which will expire in 24 hours, will be sent to the missing player. If the team member again fails to accept the invitation, the team will be eliminated.
Unbelievable Team Rule:
Given teams of equal skill level, there is <0.2% chance that one team will together win all of the initial battles across the worlds. IF this occurs, the team will play a best of 3 against each other to determine the tournament winner. Settings will be decided by the TO should the need arise.
