Hey everyone, trying to get the bball scene going again for the summer with a tournament, It's individual entry, so no need to worry about finding a partner, just sign up and play! Teams will be randomly created, and re-made after each game.

Winners play with winners, losers with losers, so even if you're not confident, you will get games closer to your skill level after a round or two of play!

Time
- Saturday, May 26th
- 5PM Eastern / 2PM Pacific
- Servers will be in NA (Chicago/NY Probably)

Rules
- This tournament is an individual entry, 2v2 tournament.
- Due to the nature of this tournament's format, the number of players must be divisible by 4, any additional
signups will be placed onto a waitlist, to be added to the pool of players to replace any dropouts.
- If a player drops out mid tournament, the first member of the waitlist will replace that player, and assume their
current ranking

- All games will be played on ctf_ballin_skyfall
- All games will be to 10 captures or 10 minutes.

- There is a penalty for shotgun-jumping and goaltending on defense.
- If either action is taken, the score for the game will be adjusted, depending on the severity, for example, a winning score of 10-4 might be adjusted to 10-9. Since players are judged based on the how many baskets they let in, this will affect their rankings severely.
- Goaltending is when a player stands on the rim of their own hoop, while their opponents are attempting to cap.
- Shotgun-jumping, or the "jshotty" is when a player, on defense, jumps in the air and uses their shotgun to stop their opponent from capping. The conditions for it to count as a shotgun-jump are:
- The player must rocket jump into the air and shotgun the enemy players (Surfing does not count).
- The ball must be past mid court. (On the enemies side of the court does not count).

- Players will be randomly seeded into groups of 4, each group will play 3 games amongst themselves,
with each player playing with every other player in the group once. For example, with players A B C & D,
- Game 1: A + B vs C + D
- Game 2: A + C vs B + D
- Game 3: A + D vs B + C

- Final results will be submitted to logs and transferred to the google spreadsheet for updated stats.
- Scoring will be measured individually by how many captures your team gets. Lower is better, winning a game 10-0 is worth more than 10-9. Participants with the highest team captures will be paired together for the following grouping. There will be 3 rounds and team record will be re-evaluated and reorganized for each round. Top four players after the 3 rounds will determine the final four pairing.

- After each round, players will be re-sorted into new groups based on their previous results, winners will play with
other winners, losers with other losers.
- After 3 of rounds of play, the top 4 ranked players will be drafted into a final game, and will play another
round with each other, the results of these 3 games will determine the victor.

Prizes
- 1st : 3 keys
- 2nd : 2 keys
- 3rd : 1 keys

- Best Capture: 2 keys
- Given to the player that gets the coolest capture, submit a demo of the capture with a tick/time to be eligible
- Best Kill: 2 keys
- Given to the player that gets the coolest kill/airshot, submit a demo of the capture with a tick/time to be eligible

Signups
- Post your steam profile link and display name in the #tournament-signups channel in the bball tf discord
- Tag me with @Pye#4786 when you do, so I can add you to my list of signups.
- https://discord.gg/3g8Ed96

Tournament Day
- Be ready in the bball tf discord at 5PM EST.
- Player-Match assignments will be posted into the #tournament-results channel.
- After your 3 matches in your group have been completed, post all 3 logs.tf links to the #tournament-results channel in the bball tf discord.
- New groups will be calculated after each round, with players sorted into groups with similar results (winners with winners, losers with losers).

Other Comments
- With 3 rounds, everyone will be getting at least 9 games of bball in, even if they lose a lot.
- The individual games are only to 10 caps or 10 mins, so each round should take less than 30 mins to actually complete. Double that number to be safe with scheduling and getting players in servers and we're looking at 60 minute rounds. So the tournament should run from ~5pm to ~9pm EST at the latest.
- Servers will be provided.
- I'll post a spreadsheet of current signups / initial matches closer to the date.
- On the day of the tournament, I'll be maintaining a public spreadsheet of the current standings, which will be used to sort players into groups after each round (eg, rank 1-4, 5-8, etc)

Sorry EU dudes, I'm NA and running this for NA. You're welcome to play in this one if you can deal with the ping, I'll put the servers in NY probably if we get some EU signups. Some good news though, I talked to damon from bball.tf and we have plans to run more stuff this summer, including EU.
