Welcome everyone to the second annual Netplay "Teams" Tournament on Vizzed. There are 16 teams in this competition consisting of 39 players. This tournament will last for 10 weeks, 6 of those weeks being regular weeks and the last 4 of those weeks being playoff weeks. The 8 teams with the most points will enter the playoffs (high ranked teams will play low ranked teams). If 2 teams tie, the tie will be broken based on who beat who when the 2 teams had a matchup against each other.

Recording your games isn't required but it is encouraged. The plugin supports video recording so you're free to record you session either using the plugin or an external program and than upload your video to vizzed YouTube account.

The teams are broken down into 4 Divisions and you'll play every team in your division once. Each week you'll be assigned to an opponent team and you'll play them in 2 games, beat them both times and you get 2 points, beat them once and you get 1 point and they get 1 point. If neither teams play each other in a week than neither of them get a point unless one team fails to communicate with the other, than the team doing the communication would get the point.

The team leaders of each team are responsible for setting up a time and day to play the weekly matchup. You can communicate with each other via the weekly thread but you must also PM each other if you can't get a hold of your opponents. A matchup can take place if it's just 1 on 1 or if it's 2 on 1, in fact that might happen a lot if a team leader or a team partner is unable to play a scheduled matchup. For those who have a backup player, remember that the backup can take over for the team leader or team partner if one of those 2 players can't play in a weekly matchup.

If a team member has to withdraw from the competition, then the backup player takes on an active role. If the team doesn't have a backup player, then the remaining player may draft a new player to their team. If both players drop out of a team, then I'll make a thread asking for players to take over for that team. If a player drops out of a team, they will get fined 10,000 Viz and added to the ban list.

Here's how you'll determine which game you play each week:
Each player from each team will choose a game that they don't want to play each week (backup player has no say) and whichever 2 games don't get vetoed are the games that get played. Each matchup consists 2 x 2 and since that's a total of 4 players and since there are 5 games to pick from, there will always be a remainder game. For teams that only consist of 1 player, or if your teammate doesn't pick a game to veto, then you get to pick 2 games to veto. Be sure to say in each week's thread what game you want to veto.

It is recommended that you play on the United States L2 server since that's the best server. If you're interested in hosting your own server, you must be a Trusted member and you can find the details on how to do that here. The benefit of hosting your own netplay server is that netplay runs a lot faster when your in a session on a server that you're hosting.

Thursday at 9 PM central time is the default matchup time each week. If you can't schedule a time to play against your weekly opponent before the default matchup time, then you are expected to play at that time and if one of the teams fail to show up at that time, that team loses the matchup (and the matchup ends in a tie if both fail to show up at that time). Remember, the default time is only used if both teams can't come up with an agreement on a time to play the matchup.

Be sure to post the results of your weekly matchups to the weekly thread.

IceyGamer: Summon fails. EDIT: Probably fails since they haven't posted at all.

I kind of forgot that I was signing up for this.

blubblub9 :
loki19 : Go us!

So, how will picking the game go this time around? Will it be up to the entire team, or just the leaders?

patar4097 : If you read my post you would know the answer.

Davideo7 : Must have missed that line. Sorry. I saw everything else, but just not the people who do, so I got confused by it.

Davideo7 :   I am still looking for a partner

blubblub9 : Didn't you read my post? You've already been assigned a partner.

I've constructed the entire schedule for this tournament:
Week 1
Week 2
Week 3
Week 4
Week 5
Week 6

You wont be playing the matchups of those weeks until those weeks take place (which is when I'll be opening each of those threads).

Davideo7 : Question regarding the playoffs, I myself have no issue with uploading videos to my personal account but for those who don't have or can't upload/record videos to their own youtube and assuming they don't find someone to spectate, then what? Vizzed Youtube video length is limited to 15 minutes right?

Also, I could correct the typos and discrepancies on the rules, but it'd become a giant wall post that'd look like a copy paste, plus PM is out of question due to the torrent of PM's you already get... I got it covered though, let me know if it's alright to post it.

mvhupsel : I suppose I could remove the playoff rule.

What do you mean by "I could correct the typos and discrepancies on the rules" ?

Davideo7 : Nothing big really (I'm somewhat of a grammar nazi .-.). Just some minor things that could be fixed. There are some repeated words and typos, also a few phrases that should be rephrased or they could lead to confusion for those not paying attention.

EDIT: There's nothing really wrong with the rule themselves though.

mvhupsel : Let me know what I need to fix and I can do it.

EDIT: Didn't initially want to post it like this because of TdV, but since I don't take part in it I guess it's alright.

Davideo7 : Here's the revised rules. The only changes were grammar corrections, when there were repeated sentences and errors they were fixed, along with any typos ("than" and "then" wrong usage was the major issue). No changes on the rules themselves were made as you can see.

If 2 teams tie, the tie will be broken based on who beat who when the 2 teams had a matchup against each other. If for some reason the 2 tied teams are rivals and each won once against each other, then the 2 teams will have to play a special match against each other to determine who advances to the playoffs.

Davideo7 : kinggoku hasnt been on in the past few days telling me
when to play a game, so I have sent him a message saying what game
he wants to play, but he wont anwser! I'm just saying!

realplayer109 : If he doesn't respond to your PM within a week, you can become your team's leader and remove him from your team and find a replacement. This week you'll have to play the games alone which means you'll be taking on 2 players by yourself.

Davideo7 : oh ok um when does it start and how do I do netplay

I'm sorry, but I had never signed up for the contest, only asked a question about it, and the one computer the plug in works on, none of the games will load, so effectively, I cant participate, although I would have considered it otherwise. The RGR staff has been trying to deal with the problem, but even when they do fix it, I rarely have access to this computer anymore, this being the computer I can play games on, or can once the problem is solved anyways. I really don't want to leave gamerguy121 partner-less or drop out, but I have no choice whatsoever. However, I may be able to get my area's public library computers to download the plug in, although notoriously random at what it accepts and when and I'd have to re-download every time. I will edit this post to say if it worked or not after I have tried it, and if it works, I cant play Fridays or weekends because gamerguy121 is available around 6:00 (not, however, knowing how that compares to time where I am) and the library closes at 5 on Fridays and is closed on weekends.

It works, slowly and no save data will be able to be used from the library computers, but it works. Now to fiddle with netplay to see if that works too.

Davideo7 : Hello, Im here to question the availability with team Koolshack, our opponent team for this week. My partner and I are great with time, and we left messages to the team leader. We dont want to be banned, so can you please contact the team, If you can, that would be great!

blubblub9 : It already started, you should've read both threads that you got summoned to.

CrossingOfWorlds : You're part of the tournament so you're going to have to figure something out.

gamerguy121 : If you're unable to get a hold of your opponents, be sure to report them in the Week 1 thread.
