TLDR Tournament Format:

Long Version:

If you are confused about time zones please refer to the following website: http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

BEFORE SIGNING-UP PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING (Not respecting the following rules could result in an automatic forfeit):

Prerequisites:

1.) Be a registered user of the Hearthstone on the EU server.

2.) Use the IRC channel: #2ndW on Quakenet (for example here http://www.teamsecondwind.com/hschat ) to see that you are here when you or your opponent wants to take a freewin and to organise the playoffs (Top8/Top16) or any other contact with admin

3.) IT IS MANDATORY that when registering to the tournament you include the relevant logo for the class you will be playing (you can download it at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hearthstone/files/?source=navbar) in your CHALLONGE PROFILE SETTINGS https://challonge.com/settings/edit , UNDER AVATAR (it will allow us to efficiently analyze tournament data). However if you do not know what class you will be playing you can put any class icon and change it before the tournament starts. Not including a logo will automatically count you as being absent when taking attendance and hence you will not be able to participate in the event.

General Rules:

1.) Players will all be on the IRC Channel #2ndW on Quakenet, Please use your battle tag as your nickname. (for example here http://www.teamsecondwind.com/hschat )

2.) Also use your battle tag on http://challonge.com/swct7/participant_settings

3.) Attitude and sportsmanship will be expected otherwise penalties will apply.

4.) No information is to be leaked to competing players until after the event is completed.

5.) Abide by the "Honour System".

6.) Disconnecting: It will automatically count as a forfeit unless both players agree to restart the game (Remember that good sportsmanship is always encouraged!).

7.) You can change your deck after every game. But same class for the whole tournament8.) Cheating will result into a ban for an undetermined time frame.9.) ALL CARDS ARE ALLOWED!!

Brackets:

1.) The Brackets are not final until the tournament has started. The Seeding will be randomized. You will see who is your opponent on the Top of the page when it has started.

2.) Swiss, best of 1.

3.) After the Round Phase: Top 8 will move on to a Single Elimination tournament, BO3 (BO5 for finals) that will be announced to the concerned players (we will provide them with a Link Once the Top 8 players have been determined).

4.) Top 8 if less than 50 players.

Top 16 if 50 players or more.

In case of a Tiebreaker (more than 1 person is 8th for top8/16th for top16) the pool of players will be added to the playoffs so it can be any amount of players larger than Top8/Top16!

For Example in 3 people are tied 8th to 10th, then 7th plays vs 10th, 8th plays vs 9th and the playoffs are as usual!

This is done as tiebreaker decider, because its the fastest and fairest way to do it.



5) In the event of a perfect tie for 8th (or 16th) place it will be handled in one of two ways, either by a face off match between the affected players or by the use of a RNG to choose who gets it. In the case of a three or more way tie it will be handled by RNG.
