Hello, everyone!
We are very excited to announce our 15th tournament, Rogue Gamemodes: An Overcast Story!
By registering for this tournament you are agreeing to our rule set and punishments within it.
Gamemode and Format
This event will feature a mixed gamemode style, using the best maps of Capture (CTW), Conquest (TDM, 5CP, CTF, and KoTH) and Destroy (DTC/M). The event is single elimination. The tournament style will reflect the Beta tournament, with unique maps selected for each of the rounds.
Each round will be best of 3 (Bo3), using a pre-determined order of Capture followed by Conquest and then Destroy.
CTW and DTC matches will last a maximum of 45 minutes. Conquest matches will have a time limit of ~12 minutes. As such, the Conquest gamemode will be best of three maps.
In the event of a tie, a round-specific and predetermined tiebreaker map will be played. This is also the case with the maps used in the tournament. Each round’s chosen tiebreaker maps can be seen below in the maps section of this post.
When signing up, you must be prepared to play on the following dates:
January 28 - Round of 32 to Quarterfinals (Starting at 10:00 am EST)
January 29 - Semifinals and Finals (Starting at 10:00 am EST)

Registration
Team leaders are required to work with their team members to decide who will participate in the tournament. When registration opens, team leaders will have to submit their rosters and individual team members will have to confirm their participation. If you do not confirm your participation, it is assumed that you will not show up.
If you have issues with players that will not be available during the confirmation period, please send an email to [email protected] before the registration period closes.
Individual teams may not have less than 10 or more than 20 players registered for the tournament. Remember, adding alternate accounts to your team to meet the minimal requirement is illegal.
Discord
For this tournament we’re going to be using Discord instead of Mumble. This is mainly due to players having Mumble issues in the past, and Discord is much more user-friendly. You can join the Discord server now with the link below.
Once your team has been confirmed, your team leader must write an email to [email protected] with their Discord name & tag (e.g. username#1234). The team leaders will then be contacted and asked to provide the Discord information for their team members.
Rules
All teams must have at least 2 players who can speak English fluently present at all times so our referees can communicate with your team. Your entire team must stay in Discord for the duration of the match - the use of other voice communication software will not be allowed.
