Really Simple Tournament (Middle Earth) Round 1

Image <- This graphic is simple and ugly on purpose. :lol:

Concise description:
  • This is a simple 16 player, single elimination, 1v1 tournament played on the Middle Earth Map.

Specifics:
  • There were 16 spots available.
  • All games will be Middle Earth Map, 1v1, Sequential, No Fog, and thanks to the vote, No Cards, Chained.
  • Everyone who saw this topic helped vote on settings.
  • If you win you advance, if you lose you are out.
  • Seeding is highest ranks vs lowest ranks. This is a very common way to seed in competitive sports. So the top player is against the 9th best, on down to the 8th best playing last place.
  • Ranks were considered at time of my noticing players join.
  • If I stay with this series enough, every winner will be invited back to play in a grand, really simple, best out of 3 tournament.

Why so simple?
I had problems with abandoning tournaments for a variety of reasons because they were too complex and lasted too long. These will be done to completion, I can see to that. I just can't promise I'll be into it long enough to do a really cool bigger tournament between the winners at the end, but I hope so.

RST History
Our first RST champion is blindmatt on the Classic map who has returned to play in this tournament.

I'm in.

Though you are breaking a rule by having so many reserved spots.

Half of the spots has to be open for public.

Am I? I had no idea. :cry: I promised last tournament though...

New rule. 8 spots are open, the last people who I 'reserved spots' are out of luck if they take longer.

So room for 2 more of the reserved.

Thanks White Moose. Coleman, what you could also consider is leaving 3 spots reserved (4 total counting the previous champion) for those reserves from the previous time to take on a first come basis. This allows you to save some spots but not too many (only having 8 spots for new people bothers me a bit, but it is within the rules).

By the way, I want to play.
