It’s almost time for the 16Bit TF Gamers United Cup and we’ve finally got the details down. We’ve tried to structure and seed teams and brackets as fairly as we could.

Pro Bracket:

Pro Bracket will consist of four teams and be held in two rounds. Round one will consist of three matches (round robin style) and the last will be the finals.

PS. Click to enlarge the images.

The finals will be held between the two teams with the most wins. Should there be a tie, round difference will be the tie-breaker.

All teams in the Pro Bracket HAVE to make sure that they stick to the schedule as tightly as possible. Shoutcasting for the finals by VanillaTV and GreeverTV will start at 20:00 strictly. Please don’t be late!

Novice Bracket:

Novice Bracket will be held in three rounds, Round 1 will be held as single eliminations, Round 2 and the Finals will be BO3.

So there’s been some developments in the cup, here they are:

Cup server admins:

We welcome Tyelander, Wasabi, Goldfox and Skiba as admins for this cup and would like to thank them for their contribution.

Allowance of international players:

We’ve made a conscious decision to allow international players in our teams to partake in the cup. However, there will be some conditions. Teams can submit a request for their players from other countries to participate after which we will set up a match and test the player’s ping and hit reg. We will allow players to partake should they not teleport all over maps and take damage when targeted and shot at.

So far we’ve had a test match with Severe’s Beetle and decided that he is allowed in the cup. The team is also required to have a substitute ready for this player in the cup in case something goes wrong.

Any complaints about this during a match will only be reviewed if the player lodging the complaint has sufficient proof (replays and screenshots) to back them up.

Novice Bracket:

We are opening a Novice Bracket for beginners and new teams to compete in (yes the winners will also receive a prize )

On a more personal note!

I’d really like every one to encourage and welcome players like Beetle in our comps. We are here for the community and would like to see it evolve. We believe in being fair and trying things out. We’d also like to keep it as drama free as possible. Should any one be unhappy or have a complaint, feel free to share it in a decent way. There’s no need to shout or rage to get our attention We are happy to listen to any one that has an opinion and  want to chat about it.

Much of <3 to every one partaking and here’s to hoping that we’ll have an awesome cup and great sportsmanship
