A Distance Sprint tournament! (Yes, the name is one of the worst puns I think I have ever made. No, I could not come up with anything better, and I am not changing it.)

TOURNAMENT DISCORD: https://discord.gg/qppdE2Z

Joining this is required in order to participate - once in the server, you'll then need to request the Participant role in the #helpdesk channel.

Format

1v1 Single Elimination

Each round is a Best Of set. Each match of the set is played on a different map; the maps used for each round will be posted in the #important-info channel of the tournament Discord.

The first player to finish wins the match. The first round is Best of 5 matches, all following rounds are Best of 7, and the grand finals are Best of 9.

Signing Up / Playing

Register for the tournament through Challonge. After that, join the Discord and request the Participant role in the #helpdesk channel.

Signups close 1 hour before the start time (@ 4PM UTC) to provide tournament organizers (in other words, me) time to prepare the maplist and adjust seeding if required.

At match time, either you or your opponent should create a multiplayer lobby to play the match. If an agreement as to who should host cannot be made, the highest seeded player will host.

General Rules

Any and all client modifications, including but not limited to Spectrum and its plugins, are banned from this tournament and must be removed, uninstalled, or otherwise disabled in order to play.

You have a maximum of 5 minutes to join a match lobby once called by your opponent. If you do not show up, you will be dropped from the tournament and we will move on without you. (Please notify me if your opponent is turning out to be a no-show, or I might end up having to chastise both of you for stalling the tornament even if you're not at fault.)

If a player disconnects from the server, the match may be replayed as long as no more than 25 seconds have passed on the car timer at the time of disconnection. Otherwise, it is considered a match loss, and the set will continue as normal.
