Playoffs are finally around the corner! We hope for it to be a great ending to a wonderful season! Dare I say this was indeed the finest season in a very long time. A very low forfeit rate, well seeded divisions with many many tight games, fairly few dropouts, new features like the demo site (which is just the Messiah of websites, as Jesus himself supposedly has put it), etc. Thanks to everybody who has made this possible!
Now, to the business at hand!
Most people already know that the top 4 players in each group advance to their respective division's playoff, and for those who don't; that's the deal. All playoffs are double elimination.
Here are the games' deadlines during the playoffs:
Div 1
Dec 9, 24.00 CET: Replay of any forfeits
Round 1: Dec 12
Round 2: Dec 16
Round 3: Dec 19
Round 4: Dec 30
5-6: Currently no deadlines
Div 2
Dec 5, 24.00 CET: Replay of any forfeits
Round 1: Dec 9
2: Dec 12
3: Dec 16
4: Dec 19
5: Dec 30
6: Jan 6
Div 3
Same as Div 2.
Div 4
Same as Div 2 & 3, but no longer any chance to replay group stage forfeits.
Also, don't forget to keep the rules in mind. These are specific for playoff games:
4.1.3 Games during playoffs (except the Grand Final) are played best out of five maps ("bo5").
4.1.5 A player may only pick one map in each match - even in the playoffs.
4.1.8 After having finished playing both players' map picks in a playoff game, the following two (or four in the Grand Final) maps to play are chosen through map elimination. Whoever has earned the higher net value (own score minus opponent's score) in the first two maps, will choose who starts eliminating the remaining maps. Also, the player who did not start eliminating, will pick which map (out of the chosen two or four) to play first. The following maps in the Grand Final, are picked by turns.
4.2.3 During playoffs; non-OpenTDM servers may only be allowed if 4.4.2-9 can be set.
4.2.8 When "home/away" in a playoff game, the third map (as well as the fifth in the Grand Final) is played on the server used for the first map, and the fourth map (as well as the sixth in the Grand Final) on the server used for the second map.
Obviously there are more rules that concern playoff games (and the competition in general), but I hope you're already aware of them, as they have been in the rule sheet for a very long time now. :)
Now, go kill eachother. | |
