To help promote the newly released TAD Fan Patch 1.0, AgeSanctuary is proud to announce the $500 Fan Patch 1.0 Tournament. It will be a 1v1 knock out- style tournament, with one round per week. All players will be required to use the new patch, and we hope this will make for some very close and competitive games.

Don't have Fan Patch 1.0? Get it here.

Due to Christmas and New Year's, we will be starting the tournament in 2009. Sign-ups are open until the 6th of January, when the tournament will begin. Many thanks to matsujun for making this tournament possible with his gracious donation.

Tournament rules

For the tournament to be a success, we need participants to abide by the tournament rules. We reserve the right to remove or exclude any participant from the tournament at any point if they fail to abide by the tournament rules. If at any point the rules are changed, an announcement will be posted in the News & Announcements forum. All participants will be expected to check up on and abide by rule updates.


General information

These dates may be subject to change if round extensions push other rounds back. In the event of changes to the round dates, an announcement will be posted in the News & Announcements forum.

Signing up for the tournament
Sign-ups are to be conducted via the sign-ups topic. You must sign-up for yourself if you are playing - you cannot sign-up another person.

Scheduling your games
All players will be required to schedule their games in our scheduling forums. Please read the scheduling guidelines topic that is pinned in each of the scheduling forums - it sets out the proper method for scheduling a game.

Playing your games
Each round you will be matched up against 1 opponent with whom you will need to play a best-of-3 series. This means that one of you will need to win 2 out of 3 games to progress to the next round.

Adherence to round dates
If you and your opponent fail to play any or all of your games, an administrative decision will be made as to who proceeds to the next round. This decision will be based upon who made the most effort to schedule and play the games.

Recorded games
All games must be recorded and posted in the Recorded Games forum. The winner must be the one to post the games.

Disputes
If you have any disputes, send a private message to [NerVe]_VipeR_ rather than post it in the forums.
