Without further ado, below are the NEW complete rules for this event:

EDIT 02/20/2012: Rules regarding the pick/ban system have been changed!

The Structure:

1.) The tournament will be held Monday evenings starting at 9:00PM EST.
2.) It is a 32 team tournament, single elimination. Since there a limited number of slots each week, sign up your team ASAP!
3.) Picks and bans are to be done through the in-game Tournament Draft Mode system.

• The higher seeded team must host the Tournament Draft custom match and be on the left side of the lobby.
• Teams should take screenshots of the champion picks and bans before the match begins, and then attach them to the respective match page on the NESL site.
• If your team wins a match, please take a screenshot of the post-game screen showing all the players involved and attach it to the match page. This assists us in submitting our prize request to RIOT.

4.) Seeding is determined with the final place that your team earned in the previous week's tournament. If your team did not participate in the previous week's tournament, you will be randomly seeded under the lowest earned seed.
5.) It is the responsibility of every team (high seed and low seed) to contact their opponents to ensure that matches start on time.

• If your opponents are not prepared to start the Tournament Draft game within 15 minutes of the event start time (9:15 EST) or the end of their last match, upload time-stamped screenshots to the respective match page showing your attempts to contact your opponents, and then notify an admin who will advance you to your next round.
• Teams who are not prepared to begin their matches on time will be disqualified.

The Prizes:

1.) Prizes will now be awarded each week, instead of once per month.
2.) Prizes will be awarded to all members of the victorious teams following the tournament finals.
3.) All-new prize structure!

• 1st: $20 RP
• 2nd: $15 RP
• 3rd and 4th: $10 RP
• There are no prizes below 4th place.

As you can see, we are no longer awarding prizes for 5th through 8th place since prizes are awarded weekly. However, if demand for this event forces us to open the bracket beyond 32 teams, we will adjust the prize structure to complement a larger playerbase!

We hope you and your teams will enjoy the changes we've made to improve the Conflict on the Crystal Scar, and we look forward to seeing you all Monday night!
