tournament The Puissant Games [Entries now open]

[Venk]

🏆 27th August, 2021
It's tournament season again and we've decided to try something never before seen on ClassiCube this time around. With the recent release of our arcade gamemode, we have decided to run a mixed-arcade doubles tournament! Now, let's get into the practical information, shall we?

When is the tournament?
To compensate for our European players, we've made the tournament a couple of hours earlier than the spleef tournament. The tournament will be held on the 19th of September, 2021 at 4pm Washington DC time and 9pm London time. Please check the appropriate times if you are not in these timezones.

What is the tournament?
The tournament is a 2v2 mixed-arcade tournament. There will be 8 teams of two battling it out in 8 different minigames to earn the most points. Points are awarded based on how well teams perform in rounds.

How can I enter?
We can only have a maximum of 16 participants. This means that anybody that is interested will have to sign up to compete. You can find more information about this via our Google form link: https://forms.gle/5H9KWWWsT5nkb71w5

What are the rules?
1. No cheating. This means using a hacked or modified client to change settings such as reach and hacks, among other things. This includes auto-clickers and fancy clicking techniques to get over 17CPS. If you are found to be clicking at over 17CPS, our anti-cheat system will kick you.
2. No toxicity. While trash-talking can be allowed at a minimum, severe disrespect towards players online will not be tolerated and you may be kicked for the time being.
3. Use your head. Most tournaments follow a similar guideline and this is not an exception. 

The rules from the server are still in place and you will be punished the same as if the tournament was not in place. If you are found breaking any of these rules, you may be kicked from the tournament or even the server. Don't be that guy...

Tournament structure
There will be 8 gamemodes that the teams will play.

2v2 gamemodes:
All 2v2 games will follow a round robin structure, meaning each team will play each other once for a total of 28 rounds. To reiterate, this is 28 rounds total for all teams. Each team will play 7 times.

Battle Box (est 1.5 mins) [28 rounds]                    + (1.5*28)
Dodgeball (est 1.5 mins) [28 rounds]                    + (1.5*28)
Parkour Tag (est 1 min) [28 rounds]                    + (1*28)
Sumo (est 1.5 mins) [28 rounds]                        + (1.5*28)

FFA gamemodes:

Bridge Battle (est 5-10 mins) [1 round]                    + 7.5
Flood (est 2 mins each) [3 rounds]                    + (2*3)

Parkour/Speedrunners (est 2.5 mins each) [elimination]        + (2.5*4)
For speedrunners, it will work a little bit differently. The bottom four in each heat will be eliminated. There are four heats.

Finals
The two teams that have scored the most points during the event will both choose a gamemode to play in the finals.

Rewards:
All coins and XP earned from the event will be kept by the players. In short, the better you perform, the better your rewards will be.

2nd place All coins earned + $10 game of their choosing on Steam each.
1st place All coins earned + $20 game of their choosing on Steam each and the 🏆 Tournament Winner role on Discord.

Conclusion
If you are unsure about anything and would like to clarify, please feel free to ask myself or a staff member. Best of luck to all of you entering and even if you aren't, come watch and support your friends 🙂
