Following on from Textbooks excellent topic located here: http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=72077234&f=143 and due to overwhelming popular demand, I am hosting a new MLD Tournament. The rules are below, hopefully there is nothing in there that scares anyone (!). We need a minimum number of 8 players to bring this forward. As with previous tournaments it will be all vs all in a group stage, with the top% advancing to a KO Phase. The size of the group stage is contingent on the number of entrants of course. The tournament will start as soon as we have 8 players and registration will end 1 week after the first duel takes place.

Without further Ado:

Entrants:
1. Ferdia (bowa)
2.
3.

Please remember that this is a community event and the overarching themes here are: 1. Play Nice - Be Polite, even if your opponent is not. No goading or gloating. 2. No Def Whoring and above all, be reasonable. 3. Have Fun and 4. Contribute to the tournament in a positive manner. I know everyone wants to win, but there can be only one. There is a right way and a wrong way to win though, so please bear in mind: Def play will not be tolerated and if I am called to referee a duel, I will come down on the player that is being negative either in tone or in play style. If you are faster then your opponent and simply refuse to engage, you may be TKO’d. (I expect sorc's to be predominantly in-screen vs Barbs and Druids for example).

As most of you know there are several users (who are not participating) who are consistently being overly disruptive and may try to provoke players. To all participants: Please try your best not to respond to spam in the topic. Polite or funny banter is acceptable, provided all parties find it funny. Stay on topic and when in doubt, let your results do the talking for you. Also, as most of the regulars are aware, I can and will, TKO or DISQUALIFY disruptive players. This goes for inappropriate posts in the topic and ingame disruptions/arguments. If anyone is bored, you can read some of the previous tournaments, as they are in the main, never dull. I can make a tournament out of all the players previously disqualified. I would like to say everyone will get 1 warning but if someone does something really off the wall/especially bad, you should know what to expect! Having said all that, I hope everyone has a fun time, I especially welcome all the new players, hope you enjoy this experience and best of luck.

Tournament Structure. The Tournament is set up as follows: 1 Group stage, where all play vs all, and the top players progress to a Knock Out Phase.

When you only have a few remaining duels left, you need to post in the topic who is dodging / not responding, to give me time to take action or for my decision making at the end of the group phase. Everyone is expected to complete 1 or more duels per week in the KO phase (the faster we do this, the better). I would rather not timeout someone in the KO Phase. I will remove inactive players or I may TKO them at the end of the group stage though. Qualification and advancement is this tournament is not guaranteed without good play and an element of luck(read: skill). Don't be discouraged if you get crushed in a couple of duels. There will be alot of difficult duels. depending on drop-outs etc,

Points are allocated as follows:

10 Points for a 5 – 0 win
9 Points for a 5 – 1 win
8 Points for a 5 – 2 win
7 Points for a 5 – 3 win
6 Points for a 5 – 4 win
4 Points for a 4 – 5 loss
3 Points for a 3 – 5 loss
2 Points for a 2 – 5 loss
1 Points for a 1 – 5 loss
0 Points for a 0 – 5 loss
