Welcome to the first ever Redditgaming King of the Hill Classic. Suggestions were taken into consideration and the format is as follows:
- Teams size: 4 players; Each player may only be on one team. Each team may also have a fifth person as a substitute if they like.
- Style: Swiss format with a single elimination tournament involving the top 6 teams at the end.
- Game settings: Matches will be played with vanilla stock settings (no WAR weapons), damage spread, and random crits turned off. Each match will consist of 4 rounds so a TIE is possible. Each round will be set on the standard KOTH 3 minute timer so matches shouldn't run longer than about 30 minutes. All classes except engineer will be allowed.
- Maps: Each week or round of the tournament a different map will be played. Some custom maps are currently being evaluated but the map list right now consists of: koth_nucleus, koth_viaduct, koth_moonshine, koth_sawmill, koth_garbageday, and koth_harvest_final.
- Scheduling: Teams will be expected to get in touch with each other to plan their matches. Server control and a match server will be provided to team captains. If no tournament admin is present match demos are highly encouraged to settle any kind of dispute. Each weekend an event admin will be present at a specified time to administrate whatever games need to be played. So basically you'll have a choice, whether your teams would like to decide on a custom time or play on the specified night when everyone else's games are being played. Right now the Swiss tournament is scheduled to last eight weeks with the final single elimination lasting another two.
- Forfeiture: There will be zero tolerance for suspected hackers and exploiters. Teams who prove unresponsive or do not schedule their matchups in a timely manner will also be subject to forfeiture.
If there is any confusion/questions regarding other details of the tournament a thread will be available in the RUGC subreddit.
