After a great night of duels at URC 6 where we saw a Merc win overall 1st place and a Assassin win the stealth bracket we're back on TRE for another evening of fun and fighting.

 

URC 6 went incredibly well and we've received a lot of positive feedback over the new format so we're keeping it the same for this event too.

 

It's still going to be first come first served (with plenty of space for standby players) but please understand that we want to make this the best tournament possible so some places may be jiggled around but I will do my best to keep the first signups in place.

 

For prizes I'm trying to step down the amount we're giving away because it's basically not sustainable but we still have some good ones up for grabs! If people have any credits / cartel things they'd like to donate please let me know in game - any donations for prizes would be greatly appreciated and recognised during the broadcast.

 

If you're looking to see what the events are like we have links here. These are abridged events made by the amazingly talented Skyrush and even if you aren't taking part I strongly suggest you check his youtube channel out:

 

URC #1:

URC #2:

URC #3:

URC #4:

URC #5:

URC #6:

 

Once again the tournament will be held in the Nar Shadda stronghold. I understand the LOS isn't perfect, I understand leap doesn't work perfectly, take the issue up with bioware.

 

The format will be the same as the previous events. Once again the stealth and non stealth classes will be separated out but there will be even further seperation. In order to try and increase the participation from various classes there will now be 4 x 8 man brackets, one for operatives, one for assassins, one for ranged and one for melee. Have a look at the bracket sheet here to see what I mean: https://goo.gl/j7ndjA

 

Still doing what I can to balance the duels around the current state of class balance, rules will never be perfect but we're doing what we can.

 

OPERATIVES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO OUT OF COMBAT STEALTH REGENERATE AND CAN ONLY VANISH ONCE PER ROUND. IF YOU PLAY OPERATIVE PLEASE UNDERSTAND BREAKING THESE RULES WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE DISQUALIFICATION.

 

ALL STEALTH DUELS ARE TO START INSIDE THE INNER CIRCLE ON NAR SHADDA AND PLAYERS MUST STAY INSIDE THAT CIRCLE UNTIL COMBAT BEGINS

 

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND ALL RULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE: THIS IS THE BEST IDEA I HAVE RIGHT NOW IF SOMETHING ELSE POPS UP THAT IS MORE ELEGANT I WILL CHANGE THIS.

 

32 spots are available for now, we'll do our best to accommodate every one but we reserve the right to make some adjustments to the format if necessary.

 

Ultimate Regstar Championship #7

Date: Saturday 27th August 2016 - 7pm GMT

Not here to sign up, just some constructive criticism, if that's ok. I loved the tournament mostly but the knock out phase could be a bit less knock out imo.

Not sure if I remember it correctly, but only one match in that phase. Make it a best out of 2 at least, there can always be issues for either player involved. Give them at least a second chance.

The is no such thing as a best of 2, the best of 2 is the first person to win ie. what we have now.

 

In one of the previous events we did best of 3 in the first round and it wasn't too bad so it's something I'll certainly consider but the reason we don't have best of 3 in the first round is because if each fight goes to the best of 3 (so 3 fights in total) that means we have another 32 duels taking place compared to normal. Assuming the average duel takes 2 minutes to complete from start to finish that adds on over a hour to the tournaments length which just isn't practical.

I'm interested, have you considered the yavin stronghold? The flat platform in the middle there might offer better LoS than the nar shaddaa decos.

 

The only LOS available in strongholds come from items you place down and all of those suffer the same problem with casting not breaking when you move behind them.

 

Nar Shadda platform is a nice open space and as it's away from the main stronghold people can watch from the platform above without dropping the players FPS.

 

So yes, I have considered it but no, I don't believe it's a better option.
