Introduction
From the biblical days, everyone has loved an Underdog. The David over the Goliath. Anyone who plays against the Yankees, Red Sox, or Patriots. The 1980 USA Hockey Team. Perhaps it is because we relate the the Underdog, the average guy or gal, who may be lacking on talent or prowess, but who is full of drive and heart.
CC has its own class of Underdogs, those without the points. And yes, some are idiots and jerks, but most are good, honest players who love competition and fair play, but for some reason can't seem to climb the ranks.
This tournament is designed to give the Underdogs a fighting chance.
Information
This tournament will be 1v1. Each round will be a best of, either 3,5,7, or 9 games, depending on round.
All games will be Sequential and Standard.
Other settings will be picked by participants.
Maps are also player selected. For this tournament, I ask that only Quenched, Live maps be used. This means no maps that are in Beta status. If a map goes live during the tournament, it will be available for all subsequent games.
This tournament is going to require frequent communication between myself and each participant. You have 24 to respond to each. After 24, you receive second notice. After 36, you receive final notice. If you do not respond in 48 hours, you are replaced.
