1v1 Tournament

Creedx will be taking the place of 'Hellmoss' who cannot make it due to a last minute cancellation, and Ilycra will take the place of Dextros for the same reason.

DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO 16TH JANUARY 17:00 ST (original date felt a bit rushed, apologies)

if you are competing, please regularly check this thread for the possibility of minor updates in rule changes & other things

FORMAT

- Bracket will be single elimination; semi-finals and final will be bo3.
- First matches will be drawn using https://www.random.org/ - once your match has completed you will be required to peacefully leave the arena.
- If there is a mirror match, the bracket will be re-sorted. If a mirror match is forced (f.eg. in the finals) it shall go ahead.
- There will be 5 minute intervals between each match in the group stages. After each round is completed, players will be given 20 minutes to go and respec/regear for their next match. (and if a GM could oversee this to ensure no tampering we'd be grateful).
- You will be required to be @ the arena and ready for your match prior to the starting time. If you aren't in time for your duel, you will be automatically disqualified, no exceptions.
- If you are versing a warrior, you must let them charge you when the duel begins. No AoEing out rogues until they open at the start of the fight (exceptions being in warrior vs rogue where the warrior must let the rogue begin the duel with an ability in stealth). If rng plays a factor, the duel will not be restarted. This being the case, the rogue/warrior must have opened within 10 seconds of the duel beginning to avoid sapping shields off, etc
- In warrior vs. warrior, the players MUST BEGIN THE DUEL @ 5~ yds away from each other & WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE CHARGE UNTIL BOTH PLAYERS HAVE BEEN IN COMBAT WITH EACH OTHER AT LEAST ONCE (bloodrage doesn't count). In rogue vs. rogue players MUST BEGIN THE DUEL OUTSIDE OF STEALTH and will not be allowed to use BLIND, VANISH and STEALTH (rogues may use all other spells at their disposal, providing they're within the rules).
- If you are playing vs. a druid, you must allow the druid to open on you from stealth, unless you are a rogue, where the druid must start the duel outside of stealth and let the rogue open. In the event of a forced druid vs. druid matchup, both players will start in bear form.
- Stealth classes may not stealth for longer than 10 seconds after restealths/vanishes. This is to prevent waiting for cds & excessive eating in stealth. This rule is lenient, meaning if you run over 10 seconds because you're for example, waiting for a mage to be on global before you open, you wont be punished - but please don't abuse this. If we suspect you're waiting for cooldowns in stealth deliberately, you will automatically forfeit your match.


ITEM RULES (these are always subject to change)

You may use:
Iron Grenades
Up to lvl55 food/drinks that do not give you buffs (no 3% per sec fruitcake things)

SPECTATOR RULES

If you intend to watch the tournament, please be orderly & form a circle around the edges of the arena. Please do not stand inside the arena after 17:00. You may use whatever items you want (incl. combat pets/firewater/fireworks/etc) except ones that disrupt the peace and/or disturb the fights in the arena when the tournament is live. This means no grenades for example. Please refrain from excessive usage of rank 1 spells (like blizzard) as this just makes an annoying sound and isn't pleasant for anyone. Do not kill the opposing faction. GMs will be there to keep the peace and I wouldn't test their patience as you'll most likely be teleported somewhere instantly. Please do not spam the chat too much as I will have to be yelling when to start the duels.
