Tournament Overview:

Tournament Rules

Date: Saturday, December 2nd, 2006

Format: (note, final rules will be posted on November 26th, 2006)

  • 12 Invited Teams
  • 4 versus 4 - Each team will have 4 members
  • Single elimination, Single map - Each map will be played for a maximum of 30 minutes.
  • Conquer All - All maps will be played in "Conquer All" mode. In Conquer All, the most points at the end of the map wins unless one team controls ALL five capture points at the same time. Points are scored by both frags and capture control.
  • Punkbuster required
  • "Choice of 3" - Each team selects one map they do NOT wish to play, and then the remaining map is played for the match.
  • Standard Weapons Only
  • Maplist:

    SpillKill - This map features a large sewer running down the middle. With three capture points in this area most of the action will take place in this large trench. Each team spawns on respective bases and will attack the sewer trench from each side coming out of a large main exit, middle exit and a ladder exit.

    Labs - With all Conquer All maps being equal on both sides, mirror images of each other, Labs is no different featuring one common middle area. The middle flag of the five is located in this common area so must of the action will take place as teams try to control this middle flag. The map features both a high and low area but most of the action should take place in the high area as its easier to control and shoot down from.

    Facility - Similar to Labs this map is a mirror image for both teams. The middle flag is also in the middle of the two bases. Above that main flag is a catwalk area where teams can drop down from and surprise the enemy trying to take the flag. The defensive spawn area is very large on this map and we could see a lot of flanking and attacks to the two base flags.


Prize breakdown:

  • 1st place - $5,000 in prizes (prizes to be announced next week)
  • 2nd place - 4 Game Packs (including F.E.A.R. Extraction Point Expansion)
