Hey guys!
The tournament crew wishes you all a belated happy new year! This means more exciting tournaments you can expect from us! To start off, there is no better way than to start off this year with a big boy where everyone has a chance to win!
How this works
FFA Teams means you play as a team inside an FFA room, where your team’s points are combined.
So what is “double draft”? It means that besides choosing teammates like a normal draft, the captains are also responsible for picking the items their team can use at the same time.
Qualification stage
Three 10 FFA games that will bring the player amount down to a number divisible by 5 (amount of teams depends on participation). Players are scored on their score% in the games.
Example:
Drafting stage
After qualification, the DRAFTING happens in the Discord server.
The mod/tournament crew will have devised a list of the top players based on their generally expected skill (so not their qualification performance). These players are the captains. Now from the bottom up (so the “worst” captain first) captains will pick a player + power for their team. Every power can be picked twice, once an item has been picked by two captains, the other captains can no longer pick it. When the highest captain has made their first pick, they can immediately choose their second pick and the picking will go back down for the process to repeat once more. When all picks have been made, every team has four powers and five players. Players can only choose from the four powers their captain has selected for them. Visual aid on which players/powers are available during the picking will be provided, captains can of course discuss their picks with teammates.
Teams stage
After drafting the TEAMS STAGE starts.
It will consist of a round robin, so each team plays each other team once. Teams score based on W/DW/DL/L = 5/3/2/0 points where D means that teams were within a 400 point difference. The reason it is made so difficult yet rewarding to “win” is to nerf/discourage team feeding to quickly end a game once they have a small lead (which is allowed of course).
At the end of the round robin, ties are broken through point% (e.g. scoring 1200pt vs 2000pt gives 37.5 point%).
The teams ending #4 and #3 will play one game to determine podium.
The teams ending #2 and #1 will play three final games where the total point sum of their three games determines the winner (this also to discourage/nerf team feeding).

Rules
Please read these carefully!
IMPORTANT: Anonymity is disallowed
Since this is a draft tournament, it is important that every captain knows who they are actually picking. If a player plays significantly better than we might expect from that account, their team will be disqualified from the tournament. The mod/tournament crew decides when this is the case. You can play on a second account as long as it’s known who you are.
Timing
- Be on time. A host may delay the match for 3 minutes from the start time. Afterwards you are out.
Game
- No compensation for bugs or lag and no rematches, unless all parties agree to a rematch.
- Cheating is not allowed in any form or circumstance.
- Intentionally hindering or helping another player at the sacrifice of your own game is not permitted. Failure to abide by this will result from a ban from the next FFA tournament hosted.
- The moderators will review each case one by one thoroughly in all fairness. Moderators have authority to make any decision necessary in relation to this rule and other rules/situations deemed worthy of review. Once a decision is made, it’s final, and by signing up for this tournament, you agree to respect moderators decision in any of these situations.
- If you find a decision unfair or worthy of review, approach the tournament crew privately in DM. Those who decide to discuss it publicly will receive a warning to discontinue the conversation and go to DMs, and if unheeded they will be dealt with an appropriate punishment.
- Players who are banned from tournaments or game are not permitted to play in the tournament with an alternative account. Fail to abide by this rule will and can result in harsher punishments.
