General Tournament Rules
1.This is a team (3 person team) cross-platform tournament for Shogun 2 Total War (Shogun 2, FOTS and FOTS Naval), using the Avatar mode.
2. The tournament consists of 4 matches 2 1vs1 and 2 2vs2.Each Match (1vs1 and 2vs2) will be played two times first-leg and second-leg (home and away), for each leg (battle) won in 1vs1 battles the team will gain 1 point while in 2vs2 each leg (battle) won will gain a team 2 points. Leading to a total of 12 point per round (If all won). In case of a draw in the total points the tie braker match will consist of only 1 1vs1 battle that will determine the winning team. The teams will be required to play at least one match of all the platforms (Shogun 2, FOTS and FOTS Naval), the maps and platforms will be selected automatically by a custom program made specifically for our tournament that provides randomly different platforms and maps for each pair of teams. That means that for each round there will be different selection of Maps and Platforms for each individual pair of teams.
3. Same team members assignments for both 1vs1 or 2vs2 battles are not allowed i.e. The same player cannot play both 1vs1 and the same duo cannot play both 2vs2.
4. Each Discipline has its own regulation please refer to it for further details.
5. Each round will take 1 week; extensions are only possible if there is proper reason for it.
6. Teams must use the appropriate threads assigned to them to communicate with their opponents and all communication between the 2 teams must be found in the threads.
