Okay, it was kind of a dick move for me to leave this until last, but I was hoping you'd all read the cool stuff we have above. ***HERE ARE THE DETAILS OF THE $3,000 ZEALOT HOCKEY TOURNAMENT***:



$3,000 Prize Split: (Payouts will only be available via paypal)

1st place team - $1,200

2nd place team - $720

3rd&4th place teams - $300

5th-8th placing teams will be allowed to pick any item from the Starcraft 2 Blizzard store (per member!)



Date & Time:

Sign up link will be created closer to the deadline, but the tournament will be single elimination bracket on December 5th starting at 10:00 AM PDT.



DA RULEZ:



ROSTERS: It's recommended using 4 players per team (3 skaters, 1 goalie) but we will allow a maximum of 5 man teams (allowing for 1 sub in). Players will only be allowed to compete on one team as well, so no double dipping into 2 different teams. Registration will be handled by the team captain and must be able to account for all players on said team.

Once your team has been eliminated, you may not join another team, or have members of your team play for other teams.



MANNERS: in ZH it is customary to pause and unpause, or trash talk, and have fun with things. We don't want to take away from this, but we're going to ask that everyone try to be as respectful as possible.

For the pros: Remember, we're trying to introduce many people to the arcade, there's going to be some easy games. Don't be dicks about it.

For the noobs: There's going to be folks that are better than you at this, we hope you have a good time, but don't get too upset for losing. Just have fun and keep playing!



FORMAT: Full bracket will feature single elimination, with the only exception being a Bo3 grand final match. For those unfamiliar with Zealot Hockey, there are 3 periods in game, with overtime and a possible shoot out, so each game will already essentially be "Bo3" more or less.



Walk overs will have a 15 minute clock - You may attempt to play matches without a full roster, but if you are unable to compete for 15 minutes the other team may claim a free win.
