UPDATE: I've decided that the tournament will start on Saturday, and since I have no idea how time zones work, we'll just say that this will be 1 AM GMT. So, hurray! I'll make a bracket at that point and you all can figure it out from there!

For the purposes of keeping all the chatter out of the main thread and having a better method of keeping track of it, I figured I'd create a separate thread for our tournament! Woo!

Basically, there will be 3 (4 if you can manage to create a 5v5 tournament) tournaments: 1v1 Top, 1v1 Mid, and 2v2 Bot. These will also be on NA servers, unless there is enough support for some other servers.

For the purposes of the tournament, certain rules will be in effect, depending on the format:
No Teleport or Revive summoner spells may be used.
The winner is the first to reach one of the following goals: First to two kills, first tower, 100 cs (Combined in 2v2), or a 30 cs lead. 
No entering the jungle unless being chased.
No clearing jungle camps.
Best of 3. Final match is best of 5.
You may choose to remake if a tower falls in another lane due to minions, as towers give global xp and gold. If you wish to continue the game, the player whose tower has fallen must say so.

1v1s (Top and Mid):
Game format is Blind Draft:
Ban 3 champs. You may decide to take turns banning 1 champ each, or simply ban 3 champs at once. Then, you will choose 3 champions and list them for your opponent. Take turns or whatever. I don't care. Then, you may do blind pick from your 3 champions chosen.

2v2s:
Draft mode, or Blind Draft with 5 a pool of 5 champs.

5v5s:
Draft mode.

The prizes for this tournament are still be decided, but Kansa, Skyrunner, and I are willing to buy the winner a skin worth 975 RP or less. That's two prizes, so presumably two more are needed for the 2v2. Signing up is free! If you'd like to sign up for 2v2 (or 5v5?) but are missing a partner, I can list you as a free agent. If, for some reason, there isn't an even amount of free agents, we'll come up with a solution.

To join, just list which tournaments you'd like to join (Feel free to join all of them!), your league name, and your teammate(s for 5v5...) or whether you're a free agent. Remember that this is NA only right now, so if you'd like to play but aren't on the NA servers, we'll see what we can do. Also, if you'd like to donate to the tournament, feel free!

If you have any comments, concerns, or questions, post them here! If you'd like help or practice, you can find me in game under the same name. Thanks, Bay12!

Hello all! free agent for every tournament.

I wonder if the Bay12 tournament should be a league system. Due to the nature of 1v1 or 2v2, first pick is at a slight disadvantage (or second oick, in 2v2). A league system with double round robin (like the WCS) would let each player be on an equal number of sides, but it would rapidly increase the number of games we would need to play as more people sign up. Am I overthinking things here, or do I have a point?

At the very least, we could do the round robin thingy for the bot lane tournament, if we get no partner pairs for 2v2. :D

Also, as a minor warning: you should have at least 4 viable (in your opinion) champions for each lane. It's 4 because you could always abstain from banning on your turn. It'd suck if you have, say, Annie and Zed and Ryze but no other mid champs, and then the other guy bans all of them xD

The pick order is a definite issue, especially for the solo lanes, but I dunno, isn't that part of what banning is for?

I'd advise against all the individual tournaments for each lane. Having that many seems kinda silly. Go with the same system as the tournament B12 had waaaaay back a couple years ago in S1. 1v1 mid, no restrictions on champs picked other than bans. Each person got 2 bans, although I would recommend raising it to 3 or even 4 now, and actual selection was blind, so no lame countering. So you might wind up with a regular mid matchup, say Kayle v Zed, or  you might get something a bit more oddball like Sivir v Gangplank. Just say bans in pregame lobby, then have the actual selection be blind pick.
Win conditions were 2 kills or tower. No CS lead limit, although you might want to institute one.

I like the blind pick with bans in pregame lobby idea, though the fact that you can't see the champ pool might make the banning take longer, what with all the verifying.

And I dunno, each lane has different dynamics. Most top lane champs probably can't put up a good fight without a long lane to chase the enemy down...

Not certain if I should join in or if I'm even able to as I just started last week. Can a 9th level Summoner participate in this kind of tournament or would that be either not doable or perhaps suicide?

You might as well! It's good experience, and besides it'll be fun.

Plus no risks.


Though, you have a good chance of being eliminated early, since level 9 means you have tons less experience than some other veterans here. Then again, 1v1 is 'easier' than winning a game, since the latter requires knowledge about both dueling/farming and map awareness and knowing how to take objectives and stuff.

No. It's not silly. You are free to pick whatever you want for each lane, but each lane has differing mechanics. Mid lane is not functionally the same as top lane. Therefore, simply saying "go mid" doesn't solve the issue. On that, I don't see the issue, and so refuse to combine the tournaments.

However, I do see the point of blind pick, and would gladly do so for the 1v1s. However, 2v2 will remain draft pick. However, there are rune and mastery advantages that are lost by doing so, as well as surprise factors. So, I will change the game mode for 1v1s this way:

Ban 3 champs. You may decide to take turns banning 1 champ each, or simply ban 3 champs at once. Then, you will choose 3 champions and list them for your opponent. Take turns or whatever. I don't care. Then, you may do blind pick from your 3 champions chosen.

If this format is favorable, I will consider adding it to 2v2s, but with a pool total of 5 champs.

Also, you might be right about 2 kills vs 1. So, I will change the kill amount to 2 for all tournaments. I will also add a win condition for 30 cs ahead.

If anyone has any issues with these changes, please let me know, and I will gladly address them.
