Two Nexuiz 1v1 Tourneys
Lee Vermeulen on 2008-08-29
Starting Monday the 25th of August, signups open for two Nexuiz 1vs1 tournaments and will remain open until Sunday, the 7th of September.
This continues the series of tournaments hosted by planetnexuiz.com and is entirely community driven. No monetary prizes will be awarded, but we're sure there will be a lot of fun.
The two tournaments will run simultaneously, starting shortly after signups close and should finish around the same time. One tournament is dedicated to the players located in the European Union, and the other tournament is for North American players. You may choose which tournament to participate in but you may only select one, and you must compete on the servers for that region.
Once enough players have registered, admins will rate the players and assign them to groups. Each player competes against all other players in his or her group once. Groups will be ranked based on points given for wins/draws/losses of these group matches. Only the top 2 players from each group will advance into a double elimination bracket.
Once the EU and NA tournaments have finished, there will be a third tournament. It will be an invite-only tournament where the top EU players and NA players will compete against each other, as we're looking for the world's best Nexuiz 1vs1 player!
If you want to participate in one of the tournaments, visit the Tournament page. For more specific tournament information visit the "How does this work" page. Before you sign up, please ensure you have read the rules page.
We anticipate a great competition,
-- The Nexuiz 1vs1 Tournament Admins
