Blossoming Colosseum
The time has come! Sign ups are here for the Blossoming Colosseum~
This GoIO Spring Seasonal Tournament will consist of a best of one, double elimination bracket. Teams and maps will be seeded at random and announced a week prior to the first matches. Sign ups will end on March 28th and the first matches will begin on April 4th. The length of the tournament will be based upon the number of teams signing up, potentially lasting 3 weekends at the most. Matches will begin at 3 PM EST on Saturdays. The winning team of this tournament will receive the fancy smancy badge above, as well as earn their place in the Champion Tournament at the end of the year. Any player on the winning team will not be able to compete in any following season until the Champion Tournament. So if you don't win this season, keep trying~!
Full Rule Set
- Team sign ups will close one week prior to when matches begin. Late sign ups may be allowed prior to the first match ups at the organizer's discretion.
- Teams will consist of a minimum of 8 players.
- Teams will be assigned the password to their match by the referee. From lobby creation and passwords handed out, teams have 7 minutes to ready up and begin the match.
- Last second swaps will not be immediately penalized but may be considered for a rematch if the opposing team requests it. A 'last second swap' is considered as changing the ship or ship loadout within 10 seconds before the match start.
- Each match has a hard time limit of 20 minutes, there will be no overtime.
- In the event of a tie, the team that scored the first kill in the match will be considered the victor.
- If the score is tied 0-0, both teams are considered to have lost.
- Pauses must be requested by the team captain and will not be enforced until the ref calls for the pause. A pause may not last longer than 2 minutes. Each team may only pause the game twice. Pausing will not count towards match time. Only a ref can end a pause.
- In the event a player disconnects and does not return within the pause limit, the team can opt to forfeit or continue. Players can be subbed as needed.
- In the event that the match becomes unplayable due to slowdowns or bugs, the match may be restarted at the ref's discretion. If the match is reset before five minutes, the score will be reset. After 15 minutes of play, the match cannot be restarted. Between 5 and 15 minutes, the remaining time will carry over to the new match, ships must stay the same, and the current score will carry over.
- Players can play only for a single team each season. Teams can change from season to season.
- The team (and all players who participated on that team for that season) that wins a season cannot compete in any other season, but secure their slot for the champion tournament at the end of the year.
- If a match is called into question due to error on part of the ref or organizers, the entire match may be replayed if there is enough proof that it should be replayed. If the outcome is altered, subsequent matches will be done over. These events should be reported within three days after the match.
- Rules cannot be altered after sign ups have been completed until the end of the season, unless there has been a signifcant change to the game that requires a revision.
