Hello everyone,



expressed interest in sponsoring a man vs machine TeamLeague. To attract more low level players, and give the bots a chance to win, it is going to be a tournament for D/C level players ( anyone with a max rank lower than C+ level ).



The tournament style is going to be an



Signing up as a human player:



Before signing up, check the maximum rank you achieved on all your ICCUP accounts. If the maximum rank is C+ or higher on at least one of these accounts, your rank is to high for this tournament. Exception can be made on a case by case basis ( for example if you got the high rank quite a while ago).







To sign up as a human player, you either create a team or join an existing team.



To create a team, the team captain registers and checks-in on the defiler.ru tournament manager

The team captain also posts the following information in this TeamLiquid thread:



(It is not compulsory for a Team captain to play in the actual tournament)



Team name: Team name here

Team Captain: TeamLiquid account/ICCUP account/defiler.ru account

Players:

1. TeamLiquid account/ICCUP account/Race

2. Just like above, or empty if playing alone

3. Just like above, or empty if playing with only 2 players

4. Just like above, or empty if playing with only 3 players



Race can be: Protoss,Zerg,Terran,Random

You play as the race you registered with for the entire tournament. Race-picking is not allowed



You can always change the player roster until 5 April when the registration closes.



To join an existing team, the team captain has to add you to his/her team.



You can sign up without a team. In that case you post your TeamLiquid account and ICCUP account (also mention that you are looking for a team). Then you will be added to a list of team-less players, which will make it easy for team captains to contact you.



Signing up a bot:



You can sign up a bot the same way as a human player by creating your own team or joining an existing bot team (keep in mind that a bot team isn't allowed to sign on human players an vice-verse).



The (easier) alternative is that you give me the DLL, JAR or EXE file of your bot. Then I will add it to a bot team automatically and run the bot for you the entire tournament.



Tournament information:





The tournament is going to be played in the



The loser picks the next map (that hasnt been played yet) as well.



The bracket system is the double elimination format. So if your team loses, it gets send to the loser bracket. If it loses there as well, it is out of the tournament.



Map pool:



Map pool can be found



First map to play on is determined by the defiler.ru system (or both players can agree on a different map). After that, loser picks.





Prizes:

Livestream/casting

Everyone is allowed to cast the replays on defiler.ru . Streaming your games is also allowed.



Other information:

- Everyone is allowed to use the observer version of a map, but I would advise bot operators to only play FFA or melee, because some UMS map triggers can crash a bot.

- Bot developers are allowed to let someone other than their-self or me operate their bot. Bot developers are eligible for prize money even if they are not operating their own bot.

- BWAPI bots should have the "complete map information" flag set to disabled (by default it is). They are allowed to put the "user input" flag to true for chat purposes, unless their opponent doesn't want the "user input" flag set to true.

- Bot operator should not use Anti-hack as it conflicts with the BWAPI. When human players are playing against a bot, they can turn AH off and use

- Human players should have AH on when playing against other human players, unless this causes problems with the game not starting ( Wiki: D/C man vs machine Teamleague Defiler.ru page: http://defiler.ru/tourney/?t=443 (used by the team captain to register the team and submit replays)Organizer(s): Martin Rooijackers (LetaBot)Caster(s): nepeta (man vs machine matches)Hello everyone, Zachtronics industries expressed interest in sponsoring a man vs machine TeamLeague.
