Introduction
Hello. I am under the assumption that this is the first Jotto tournament on this site. Everyone who participate will hold a place in history and infamy. May the odds be in your favor! BE SURE TO READ THE REQUIREMENTS AND THE RULES AT THE MINIMUM!
Requirements for joining the tourney
- Skype for easy contacting and match setups
- Gyazo or Puush for fast screenshotting (will explain why this is necessarily below)
- About an hour on each match day to make sure everything goes well
Rules
Cheating is forbidden. Players caught cheating will be automatically disqualified. Cheating includes intentionally throwing games, rigging games, using word lists, etc.
A screenshot taken with Gyazo or Puush after the game completes must be sent to me within one minute of game completion. Otherwise the integrity of the game can be compromised.
Kicking is discouraged in almost every case. If the timer finishes, please give the player some leeway. If they do not finish their turn, message me on Skype and I will authorize the kick. Otherwise, the kick will be illegal and warrant punishment on you. If you are kicked, please message me so I can determine if a rematch or punishment is in order.
Failure to show up will result in a disqualification. This includes being late to the tourney (there will of course be some leeway) to rage quitting.
Before each match, I will choose one of the players to create the game. The game will be passworded (any password of their choice) and they will send the link of the game to me. I will then send this link to their opponent. Games played not according to this rule will be discarded.
Overall Format
- The tournament will be held with 5 letter Jotto
- The tournament will be a two-stage, single elimination setup
Group Stages Format
- 16 (or a larger multiple of 4) players will be randomly sorted into 4 groups for the Groups Stage
- Each group will play a Best of 2 Round Robin
- The Top 2 players from each groups, based on points, will advance into the Brackets Stage
- The winner of each 2 game match will get 1 point
- The loser of each 2 game match will get 0 points
- If the match results in a 1-1 tie, both players will receive 0.5 points
- If a tie occurs, a best of one tie breaker game will be organized
Bracket and Finals Stages Format
The matches for the Round of 8 and the Quarterfinals will be Best of 3's
The semifinals, finals, and 3rd place matches will be Best of 5's
Conclusion
So there you have it. Please make sure to actually read the requirements before submitting your application to join the tourney. But if you've read this far, you should've read it. Otherwise, RIP me. The signups will close in about 3 days or whenever the 16 player minimum is filled. If more people join, I will expand the tournament as necessary but not by much (I will probably hardcap it at 24 players). Good luck to anyone who joins.
