Select the Player Who's on Top of Your Match in the Bracket as "Home"...actual "Home advantage" will be decided by a "Cork" at the beginning of the match. Who goes first in corking remotely has no material influence on the corking outcome or the eventual game outcome because there are no darts in the board, each player throws, as in a traditional cork. This method is merely used to keep things moving.
Format:
1 Round of Count Up (Split Bull) to determine Home Team aka "Corking". Throw one round each and the player with the highest points wins. If tied, throw a 2nd round to determine the winner, otherwise skip the 2nd round of Count Up and begin the match. If somehow a tie remains once again, the higher averaged player/team coming into the tournament will be awarded the advantage.
Games 2 will be loser goes first.
Following Game 2 if you are tied 1-1, the next game will again be a "Cork" game of Count Up. Same as before.
MAKE SURE THAT THE APPROPRIATE PERSON IS SET TO THROW FIRST EACH GAME PRIOR TO STARTING. Utilize the "Swap Teams" option to change the order. It's much easier if the team on top of the bracket match controls this so both teams aren't trying to "Swap" at the same time.
If at any time someone wins 2 games (NOT COUNTING CORK), select cancel match and report the result.
Do NOT count Cork games as wins towards the match!!
Any player prematurely cancelling the match will be considered a forfeit and their opponent will be awarded the win.
Report match results immediately following via private message
We will begin at 7:00pm sharp (Unless otherwise scheduled).
All brackets will be available on Challonge
Watch for your match to turn blue on the bracket...that is what determines that your match is live.
Payout:
1st Place - 5,000 Promo-Nation Points
2nd Place - 2,000 Promo-Nation Points
3rd Place - 500 Promo-Nation Points
Brackets will be divided based upon current MPR (Previous 90 days or current known avg) in the interest of keeping the most competitive playing field.
**Tournament averages may be different than season-starting averages. Averages are based off of players' average for the previous 90 days, located at the bottom of this page.
***If a player plays for multiple operators, their highest known average may be used for remote tournaments.
****If a player does not have an PPD average, either 10x the player's MPR or an new player starting average will be used for the tournament, whichever is higher.
*If opponent shoots out of turn, back up the dart & immediately make contact with the opposing team. Many issues can be resolved by practicing good communication.
**Games do have the "Quick play" automatic start feature enabled so if you walk away from the board, it will automatically start the next game. Once you've begun a match, be ready to play until it's completed.
**Once a match is called (highlighted blue on bracket), the match should be started immediately ... so pay attention to brackets. If opponent hasn't logged in to play match within 10 after the match was called, notify the tournament runner and that match will be awarded as a forfeit. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BRACKET OR RISK GETTING FORFEITED
**If there's an issue or protest, halt play immediately until a resolution can be found. Once an agreeable resolution has been found, resume match.
**If internet goes out at location or a technical issue with board arises and cannot be resolved in a timely manner, the team has the option to move to a nearby secondary location if available (contact the league coordinator to have location added), in this occurrence the team will be allowed an additional 10 minutes to get to a new location & get logged in for match. If that's not possible the only other option is that the team without internet or use of a board would forfeit their match so the tournament may resume in a timely fashion. This is an unfortunate circumstance, but the utmost importance is to keep the flow of the tournament as smooth as possible for all to enjoy. If a board is malfunctioning, remember to call the Central Distributing tech line (402) 493-5600 & leave a message. This way the board may be serviced and future issues can be avoided.
**UPDATE 9/24/18: Inebriation and inability to set up your own board does not qualify as a technical issue. While we want players to indulge in the offerings of our locations, know your own limits and please do not limit your ability to function while you're in the tournament. Please also remember that you are not only representing yourself in these tournaments, but also the bar, as well as our league system. If you are removed from your location for any reason or we receive a complaint from the location about your behavior, you will be forfeited out of the tournament so it may resume in a timely fashion.
**It is each player's responsibility that their cell phone remain charged and able to follow along with the bracket throughout the tournament. No longer being able to follow the bracket, receive calls or messages, listen to music is not a valid reason for the tournament to halt.
