Begeren Colony’s 3v3 Tournament 2016

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

What: <The Krayt Supremacy>, in partnership with <Grim Determination> and <The Risen Empire>, will be hosting a cross-faction 3v3 dueling tournament on the planet Ilum on Saturday, April 23rd. The event will be open to any SWTOR player, so if you’re not from BC and wish to participate you can come on over to the server.

 

When: Saturday, April 23rd

Time: 7 PM PST / 10 PM EST

 

Where: Begeren Colony, Ilum Contested Zone

 

Streamed: The main stream will be the BC community’s stream at twitch.tv/begerencolony. There will also be a second stream running at the same time from one of our refs and commentators.

 

Prize Pool: Over 50 Million and prizes

 

1st Place- 30 Million

2nd Place- 15 Million

3rd Place- 7.5 Million

4th Place- 3 Million

 

 

Team Composition

 

Teams consist of 3 different players. You may have either Tank, Healer, or DPS but you can only have 2 of the 3. So no tank/healer/dps comps. Also, the following restrictions are in place:

 

-Only one stealther allowed per team.

-No Sorcerer Heals allowed.

-No dual-healers, no dual-tanks (We will consider "tank" as any toon in guard stance/cylinder)

-No duplicate Advanced Classes. All 3 players must be different. (No Triple PT, etc.)

 

Essentially, this limits the comps to:

-->1 healer and 2 DPS

-->1 tank and 2 DPS

-->3 DPS

 

Tournament Rules:

General description of how it will work: Teams of three face other teams based on a bracket system. Winning teams move up, losers will be moved to the loser bracket. A team must win two out of three rounds in which they kill all members of the other team.

 

Must sign up before: Friday, April 22th

Must be on and ready at: 6:30 PST / 9:30 EST

 

1. You needn’t be on Begeren Colony to take part, but by said date you will need to have transferred.

 

2. When you are called to duel you have 3 minutes to report. If you are not responsive/online you will be disqualified. **** happens, which we get, but understand we have a lot of duels to get through.

 

3. Teams that are no-shows will forfeit their places. If one member is missing you may attempt to get a sub only for the first round. This sub will permanently replace the original member on your team and must also abide by the team composition rules. After the first round, teams are locked as is and no subs are allowed.

 

4. There will be no out-of-combat healing or sap healing from any stealth classes. However, any non-stealth class is allowed to out-of-combat heal. Additionally, there is no limit to the number of stealth outs that can be used.

 

5. The “arena” is reserved for duelists, which will be designated at the event. Spectators will have their own designated area.

 

6. As this isn’t a 1v1 tournament, we can’t enforce the “arena” boundaries. On the day of the tournament, the refs will outline the designated boundaries. If you leave or are knocked out of the designated area, however, you can expect the round will probably be awarded to your opponent. Please note that refs will be watching for duelists intentionally baiting to the edge of the area with the intent to abuse this rule and will judge accordingly.

 

7. You may respec/change gear in between rounds.

 

8. One toon per player.

 

9. Any consumables are NOT ALLOWED.

 

10. No use of Rocket Boots or other Mounts.

 

11. Hacks ("This includes any form of outside assistance, bots, and third party software. Just to clarify.") = disqualification

 

If a player breaks one of these rules it will result in a round loss, re-start, or disqualification. If anything unforeseen happens in a duel, the decision will come down to a ref call by our referees: Knin and (TBD).

Looks like a cool tournament fellas :)

 

I have a couple concerns though. I posted these in the PVP thread but it seems to have disappeared.

If I'm reading this correctly this seems to imply that you could run stuff like the following -- 1 healer and 2 skank tanks. Is this intended? It seems to me the rule would be better stated like this: You may have 1 healer or 1 tank per team, but not both on the same team. This would limit the comps to 1 healer and 2 DPS, 1 tank and 2 DPS, and 3 DPS. It would also disallow stalemate nonsense like teams with 2 or 3 healers.

 

Also, what defines a tank exactly? Being in tank stance? Tank spec? Using guard?

Sorry about that, for what ever reason, Bioware took all my posts down as apparently they labeled them as guild recruitment threads which should be "limited to the server your guild is on," otherwise it is "considered to be "poaching" spam, and therefore prohibited."

 

That's a really good point, and after discussing it with the overseers of the event, we agreed that dual healers and dual tanks (toons that can guard) should be prohibited, as turtling does not make for good entertainment .

LOL bioware always has their priorities in line :)

 

You might consider contesting it, seeing as how it was rather obviously not a guild recruitment post and given their habit of taking action on reports without actually looking into their veracity. When we hosted our dueling tourney a few weeks back our post in the PVP forum was left alone. You'll get far better visibility there and probably more sign ups as a result.

Glad to hear it. Just to be totally clear -- does that mean the comps that will be allowed are 3 DPS, 1 Heal + 2 DPS, and 1 Tank + 2 DPS?

Yeaaaa, that was definitely a head scratcher :confused:. I messaged them but who knows if they'll respond, let alone see it my way. I'll probably post a short message linking this thread, or have someone else post the thread to see if that's alright.

Yes, that is correct. Went back and forth on this for a while, but considering the overall skill lvl of those we want to attract, not just those on BC, we want people to focus on killing each other rather as fast as possible. Not like we have a sudden death mechanic waiting in the wings:rolleyes: .

Gotcha! Btw, you don't have to post specs as teams are allowed to respec b/w rounds as long as they don't violate the comp rules. Unless you're planning on not changing.

Yeah, server transfers down are problematic. Hopefully it'll be fixed this coming Tuesday, otherwise I'll suggest postponing it. To everyone else, I encourage you to sign up if you haven't already, put you and your friends' damage to the test or just come out for the cool Ilum weather and take a break from ranked. :cool:

Just a typo. Originally the deadline was Wednesday the 20th but we extended it to Friday since some teams were still finalizing rosters. Just didn't edit the day name. It is tomorrow night.

 

So entry confirmed!
