Tankers!

It's been a wild year, with lots of growing pains for our company, but we're more than happy to be celebrating our 2nd Anniversary. In honor of this rather important event *ahem*, we're hosting three tournaments with a wide range of tiers. As usual, we're supplying some killer prizes, and a venue to showcase your insane tanking skills! May the best teams be wreathed in glory!

With a maximum number of five players per battle (with three alternates for a total of eight members registered), a team must field a selection of tanks based on the following limits.

Tier VIII Tournament	Tier VI Tournament	Tier IV Tournament
Heavy: up to tier VIII Medium: up to tier VIII Light: up to tier VIII TD: up to tier VIII SPG: up to tier VIII Limit two auto-loaders per battle roster Teams are limited to a max of 32 tier points	Heavy: up to tier VI Medium: up to tier VI Light: up to tier VI TD: up to tier VI SPG: up to tier VI Teams are limited to a max of 24 tier points	Heavy: up to tier IV Medium: up to tier IV Light: up to tier IV TD: up to tier IV SPG: up to tier IV Teams are limited to a max of 16 tier points

Victory Conditions

One team from each group will proceed to the playoffs. If there are fewer than 320 teams, two teams per group will proceed to the playoffs.

Only one battle will be played for each qualifier round. A Victory will award three points. A Draw will award one point. A loss will award zero points.

Draws at the end of the qualifier round will be resolved based on the following criteria (and in the following order):

1. Number of Victories
2. Number of Losses
3. Head to Head
4. Tiebreaker (TBD by judges)

The winner of each playoff round will be determined as the first to three victories, out of nine battles. If, after nine battles, neither team has achieved three victories both will be subject to disqualification. If a draw occurs at the quarter-final stage or later, the judges reserve the right to hold a tiebreaker between the two teams.

Each battle will last 10 minutes.

The Encounter battle mode will be used for this tournament.

Schedule

All of the 2nd Anniversary tournaments will have the same schedule. No more than 640 teams per tournament will be accpeted on a first come, first served basis.

The full schedule will be provided at the close of registration (round number will depend on the amount of teams, please be prepared for the rounds to go until at least 09:00 PM PDT on the 12th), once the final team count has been determined. Curious what times these are in your region?
