I am pleased to announce TIW 2016 Qualifying Round. We have 8 clans playing to get into the main group stages:

1. [FIz ] http://outcivwinner.voobly.com/
2. [IC] http://clancriminal.voobly.com/
3. [s1L3nT] http://s1l3nt.voobly.com/
4. [DSyR] http://dsyr.voobly.com/
5. [ Epic_] http://epicgames.voobly.com/
6. [DMz] http://dmz2.voobly.com/
7. [RB] http://rebound.voobly.com/
8. [dv8] http://dv8.voobly.com/

Each clan will play another clan from the list drawn randomly. The winner of that match up will qualify to join the main group stages with the 4 seeds:

1. [7th] http://7th.voobly.com/
2. [ViCiouS] http://vicious.voobly.com/
3. [Eot_] http://endoftheline.voobly.com/
4. [XceL] http://xcel.voobly.com/

There will be 2 groups of 4.

Bronze League:

The loser of their match up will enter into a bronze league in a group of 4 with the other 3 who didnt make it into the main groups. Winning the bronze league will get you a bronze league winners medal along with automatic qualification for the main group stages for the 2017 Tourney

Maps available for selection along with the rules and set up for your qualifying match will be those used for TIW 2015 http://vooblycommittee.voobly.com/forum/thread/217507

The only difference is the 1v1 and 2v2 sections will be done on a best of 3 basis. So you will have one home pick each and a random decider to decide who gets the point.

You will be required to schedule your games over a 2 week window, failure to do so will mean you will have to complete your games at 6pm on Sunday the 17th of January . We do prefer you come to an arrangement when will suit for your games.

Regarding which maps you pick you will be required to post your map picks at least 1 hour before your scheduled games. This can be done on the forum as each will have their own section to arrange scheduled games or you can private message one of those running the tourney who will post them both together. Once this is done you can decide whether you wish to veto any maps and perhaps make changes if your map picks have been vetoed.

IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU MAKE YOURSELF FAMILAR WITH THE RULES AND VETO'S

If you have any questions regarding anything don't hesitate to ask, I wish you all Good Luck!!!

GL to all clans looking to qualify.. hopefully you guys will practice enough and win your matches and join the rest of us to make TIW 2016 even better and more competitive than the last TIW tournament

Goodluck everyone Have fun

Ok guys i used a randomiser to determine who plays who, the results are as follows:

[s1L3nT] v [DSyR]
[dv8] v [DMz]
[RB] v [IC]
[ Epic_] v [_Ow]

I will create a schedule thread for you to discuss when will suit to play your games. Map picks and Vetos will also be sorted on these threads. I need you all to act mature, thank you and good luck

Why not Round Robin?

we have 8 teams and we need 4 to qualify so a simple set against another is the best way

Can we know the groups please?

Pls read the thread properly before asking questions.

There aren't groups, its just playoffs.
[s1L3nT] v [DSyR]
[dv8] v [DMz]
[RB] v [IC]
[ Epic_] v [_Ow]

Epic will be playing Ow, the winner will advance.

GL.

if you spend less then a minute searching your question then you would have your answers

Yeah, I misread.

I have drawn up the settings fresh that you will be using for your qualifiers, please read and try and understand all the settings. If you are not sure of anything please dont hesitate to ask us and we will explain how it works.

Just to confirm dmz are out of the tournament they dont have enough active players to play so some of them are joining ow to play instead. In that case dv8 will auto qualify to the main group stage

Map picks can be done now and posted now, yes alternatively you can post them an hour before the games or even send them to me. If another one of the vcom tournament host mods or admins is online to assist you if im not there you can also send the maps to them and they will post them. They will also be helping run the tournament and assist you with map picks, vetos and questions. One of us will try and be there as the option if you want to send them to us to post them together but it is preferable if you post them yourselves.

It is important to note that it isnt just me who will be assisting with map picks as I wont be there for every match so look for the admin there to assist. One hour before the games is the deadline for map picks to be given or posted though we would prefer and this applies to everyone if you can sort map picks, vetos etc out in advance of the day games are played. The option is there to keep your map picks to the day of the games however. Thank you

http://dmz2.voobly.com/ they have recruited 5 new players in the last day... and one of their captains (williamz) is playing for Flz... so maybe its time to re ask them what their plans are for TIW? Either way Williamz has to pick a team to play for and stick with that team
