OHS Invitational End-of-Year Tournament 2014

• The winners of seasons 11-16 and the winner of the 2013 EoY event will be invited to play in the event.
• The remaining invitations will be given to the highest-ranked players, based on their 2014 ranking at the end of Season 16.
• The tournament will have up to 16 players. We will continue inviting players to play until we have 16 players, up to the 25th position on the 2014 rankings board. If we do not have 16 spots filled by then we will assign first-round byes to the top seeded players.

Format: Alternating Army Draft/Cut the Cake

• For this event, each player will bring two 555-point armies with no more than 20 figures*. The two armies cannot share any figures. (C3V/SoV eligible, no Marvel.)
• The event will roughly alternate between the following formats:

Army Draft

• Before each game, there will be a dice-off, done by the tournament organizers. The winner of the dice-off chooses first army choice or second army choice.
• Whoever has first army choice may choose any of the four armies (either of their two or either of their opponent's two). The other player may then choose from any of the other three armies.
• The loser of the diceoff will then choose whether to place his army first or second.

Cut the Cake

• Before each game, there will be a dice-off, done by the tournament organizers. The winner of the dice-off chooses either choice of the two armies used, or first choice between the two armies.
• Whoever has choice of the two armies used will choose which two of the four armies will be used in that game.
• The other player will then choose which of the two armies they want to play, leaving the other one for their opponent to play.
• The loser of the diceoff will then choose whether to place his army first or second.

*An army can contain more than 20 figures, however only 20 figures may be placed on the battlefield each game. Airborne Elite and Rechets of Bogdan count toward these limits, as usual. Double-spaced figures only count as a single figure. Standard 24-space startzone restrictions still apply.

Pairing Format

• There will be a double elimination bracket until four players remain. At that point we will go to single elimination for those four players.
• The bracket is below:

Ticalla Sunrise (Wannok & Ulanvia)


Bad Moon Rising (Wannok & Kelda)


Mayberry (Lodin & Dagmar)

Event Details and Rules:

Spoiler Alert!

Power glyphs will be placed, power side up, on maps before the game begins.

Dice-off Equalizer - A check before each game to see the dice off win % for the tournament for each player will be made. If a player has a lower Dice off win % than his opponent, he will automatically win the dice off. Should the win % be tied, a dice off will be performed.

Time Controls

If, at the end of any turn, both of the following conditions are met:

• One player has taken 30 minutes less game time than their opponent according to the app AND
• At least 75 minutes of gameplay time has passed since the timestamp of the first set OMs,

Then the player who has taken less time than their opponent may end the game on time. The game will then go to partial card scoring.

Additionally, if one player has taken 60 minutes less game time than their opponent, the player who has taken less time than their opponent may claim a win on time, irrespective of the game situation.

The organizers reserve the right to nullify either of the time controls rules if we find that it is being abused or if we believe the time recorded on the app is incorrect.

Because of the time control rules, it is important to use the app's clocking features correctly.

• Always press the "done" button when your turn is complete.
• If you decide to move to a position where your opponent has the option of a leaving engagement attack or engagement strike, use the appropriate quick message button to tell them to make that roll.
• If you have any out-of-turn movement (scatter, scurry, etc), press "done" when you are done with that movement.
• If you decline an out-of-turn action (e.g. you don't want to attempt a leaving engagement attack on Krug, or you don't want to scatter), press "done" to decline the action.

Scheduling

Once a round is announced, you will have one week to complete your game. Please attempt to schedule a time to play your game with your opponent.

If after 72 hours (3 days) you have not been able to reach your opponent via PM, please fill out the missing opponent report to notify the organizers of the situation.

If you cannot come to an agreement with your opponent on a time to schedule the game during that week, then please fill out the scheduling conflict report.

If a game is not completed on time and the tournament organizers are not notified of an issue, both players will be given a loss.

The tournament organizers reserve the right to manually set the pairings involving players with a history of either failing to schedule their games, or not showing up for scheduled game times. Such players will also not be given the benefit of the doubt should scheduling conflicts arise.

Reporting Game Results (and dropping out)

The winner of the game must use the game result form to report results. (This will be linked once the tournament begins.)

If you do not want to continue in the tournament into the next round, please PM an organizer to let them know.

Etiquette for watching games

• Only the tournament referees (awesomeunleashed, Bengi, dok, Filthy, Kinseth, Typhon, Xorlof) are authorized to make binding rulings. If no referee is present in a game, ask before offering your opinion.
• Refer to this thread for the etiquette rules of the Online Heroscape tournaments.

Disputes

The tournament referees are awesomeunleashed, Bengi, dok, Filthy the Clown, Kinseth, Typhon2222, and Xorlof. These players may make rulings on in-game disputes (line of sight, figures fitting on a space, dice rolled too soon/too late, etc) in games where they are not playing. If there is a dispute and one of these players is online, they may issue an on-the-spot ruling. If you have a dispute you cannot resolve, and none of the referees are present, you may stop the game and PM the tournament referees for a ruling.

NOTE: if a ruling is made late in the week and there is not enough time to schedule completion of the game, the tournament referees may issue a forfeit loss to the player who was ruled against.

The format was selected based on a poll of the top players, if anyone was wondering.

"Signups" can really only go from the end of Season 16 until all of the spots are filled. We'll put up a signup form in the next week or so for people who are definitely in to submit their armies.

Well, that's somewhat true, as the rules outline that all the spots may not be filled. And along those lines...

The remaining invitations will be given to the highest-ranked players, based on their 2014 ranking at the end of Season 16.[*]The tournament will have up to 16 players. We will continue inviting players to play until we have 16 players, up to the 25th position on the 2014 rankings board. If we do not have 16 spots filled by then we will assign first-round byes to the top seeded players.

I wanted to clarify what the 25th position is. From my understanding there is a top 25. Some of those top 25 are not eligible to participate in the EOY, but they are still ranked in the top 25 for 2014.

So does that mean that if there were 10 people in the top 25 who were ineligible to participate due to not having 2 full seasons, that there could only be a max of 15 EOY participants? Or are those in the top 25 removed from the ranking list if they don't have the requisite participation, meaning the actual 2014 top 25 are made up of only eligible players?

Ok, so it sounds to me like ~ Dec 1 or Dec 8 is a reasonable estimation for EOY to start.

Good question. It hasn't mattered nor do I think it will ever matter, so we didn't think to discuss it. Personally I'd cap it at #25 (currently capsocrates) no matter how many people were eligible.

Around that week is what I'd guess, yeah.

Is this a double elimination bracket like last year, or the "3-1 to make single elimination playoff" that is used in normal seasons?

Good question. OP seems to read as "3-1" to me.

In any case, I'm signed up!

Not sure what you're referencing, Mega, but we will be doing a bracket like last year.

There's no mention of double elimination in the OP. It reads just like a standard event.

EDIT: I see you've added it now. Good.
