What is Newbie 6v6?

Newbie 6v6 is the normal 6v6 competitive format, only played with people new to the competitive metagame, it is used as an introductory level to competitive 6v6.

Rules

  • No maximum sign-ups

Cup Format

  • Double-elimination or Single-elimination, not decided yet, depending on the number of signups
  • Bo1 until the semi-finals (this means only 1 map per match)
  • Bo3 in the finals

Cup Date

  • 15th September 2013 (Sunday) - Official match times to be decided depending on the number of sign ups.

We intend to start early in the afternoon, probably around 3pm (CEST and EST respectively for the EU and NA cup) and finish before 22:30 (CEST and EST)

Sign Ups close

  • 13th September 23:59 GMT (01:00 CEST) (19:00 EST)

Rulesets, configs and maplist

  • NA tournament will use ESEA S14 ruleset and maplist
  • EU tournament will use ETF2L S15 ruleset and maplist

Player Restrictions

  • No ESEA experience
  • No ETF2L experience above div6
  • Maximum of 1 season ETF2L 6v6 experience on div6, and can't have placed above mid-table
  • Maximum of 1 season UGC 6v6 experience on Steel maximum
  • Maximum of 1 season experience on any other leagues on the lowest 6v6 division of that league (ex: wireplay, etc...)
  • No Highlander experience restriction is set at the moment for this cup but use your judgment wisely, no team made-up of platinum-only HL players will be allowed in the cup.

Exceptions

  • Since the original cup date has been postponed from 18th August to 15th September every team that has signed up so far will not suffer the 1 season max experience restriction for any season that started after the original cup date (ie: UGC new 6v6 Season starting early September), other restrictions still apply to these teams
  • Teams are allowed MAX 1 player per team with:
    • UGC 6v6 experience on Silver division of 1 season maximum
    • UGC 6v6 experience on Steel division for more than 1 season
    • ETF2L experience on div6 for more than 1 season or placed above mid-table

The player in question covered by the player restrictions exceptions should be mentioned on the notes area of the application form.

Each application will be manually reviewed to prevent abuse.

Any teams that do not obey these requisites are subject to have their application denied.

These restrictions are in place to ensure this stays a newbie-only cup.

Any teams that have experienced players that do not obey the requisites or are found using alts will be disqualified. If it happens mid-tournament the team will be disqualified and the last match played will be changed to a default loss.

Prizes

There are 2 different prizepools, one for the NA cup and one for the EU cup.

  • 1st place
    • 3-months server
    • 6 keys (to be given to the team leader after the cup)
  • 2nd place
