Tournament Format :
- All matches will be played on Metal God Arena.
- Supports are globally banned from the tournament. A Discord drafting bot will be used to pick machines 1 by 1 until both team compositions are complete (no specific bans between teams, miror picks are allowed). We encourage you to join the server early, get used to the format and how the bot works by reading the help section or asking to try it.
- Seeds will be randomly determined at the start of the championsip.
- Top seed picks last.
- Matches will be held with the regular custom matches feature.
- Round-Robin BO3 if 4 teams or less (if a team wins the BO3 in 2 matches, the 3rd one will automatically count as a 3-0 win for score difference calculations),
Round-Robin BO1 if 5 to 7 teams are participating,
Swiss format (7rounds) BO1 if 8 or more teams are participating.
- TIE break : 1) Global score difference (total of scored goals - total of conceded goals), 2) Specific score difference between teams (scored goals - conceded goals).
Server and language :
- The default server for this tournament is Europe, but it can be another one (NA/SA) if BOTH teams agree.
- If facing teams come from a different server, the Standard custom matchs will be hosted by the bottom seed team.
- The tournament is open to every player regardless of their nationality or server of origin. We only ask you to have team captains able to communicate in BASIC ENGLISH with the staff.
Teams :
- This tournament is team-based, Free-agents are encouraged to join the tournament's Discord server as well as the Official Heavy Metal Machines Discord and actively find teammates in order to assemble as a pre-made team before the tournament's start.
- We don't require you to be in the same in-game team for the tournament's duration.
Casting and recording :
- By default, only authorized casters and commentators can spectate matches and have priority to get these spots. Exceptions can be made only if BOTH teams are authorizing additional spectators.
- Casters and commentators : only allowed with 2 minutes delays and commentating on stream (we want to mitigate the probability of "Outside Assistance" or Cheating happening thanks to additional informations).
- All participating players can stream their own matches at their own discretion (note : you won't be automatically considered as a Caster from the staff, but you can conciliate both player and Caster if all rules are followed).
- We recommend teams to save all useful matches media and record if they are able to do so.
Pause uses :
- Due to current game settings, pausing during a custom match is instantaneous as well as unpausing and does not display the waiting time for each pause. Being aware of this, we ask you to respect pause time and durations of each teams (5 minutes/match in total), to always ensure that both teams are ready before unpausing and to write a readable and understandable countdown in everyone's chat.
Severe pause abuses, repeated pause abuses or pause abuses leading to an established advantage in scoring may be punished as giving a goal disavantage penalty to the faulty team without warnings.
