Halo Reach is 7 weeks away and Podtacular hasn't hosted a tourney in quite some time. So to break the silence, we are throwing a Halo 3 3v3 Tourney for everyone. Anyone can participate and there will be prizes awarded to the winners. Without further delays, let's see the details. Who's invited? • Any team of 3 can enter the tournament. You may have a substitute in your roster if you like. • Feel free to spread this to anyone you know or other communities you may be affiliated with. We want a big turnout. Details • Depending on how many teams register, gameplay will start on September 3rd. There is a max of 64 teams. Two rounds will be played each weekend. • Tournament will run in a bracket style, best of three games. For the first bracket, it will be single elimination: loose your best of three and you're out. The first bracket will be played out until the quarter finals (8 teams). The second bracket will be double elimination. • We are aware of the issue with people attending PAX on the opening weekend of the tournament. If this is the case, please send a XBL message to POD Tournaments and we will pair you together and schedule a time before the official opening of the tournament. • Games will be played on Fridays and Saturdays. Sundays and Mondays will be open for reschedules if teams need it. Rules • All players are required to use the Spartan Armor. • Every round will consist of three matches. Each team will get to pick their gametype and map and the third match will be chosen at random. Gametypes and Maps will be put into a pool that can be selected from. Gametypes will be Slayer, CTF and Oddball. • In the event of a tie-break, a Slayer game will be played on a pre-determined map. The winner will be the team with the most kills after 10 minutes. • Every team will have a designated team captain who will be the primary contact for the team. They will be required to sign up on the Podtacular forums and register their teams. • Upon registration, the team captain will need to send a F/R to POD Tournaments. Pod Dust Storm (myself) will be running the tournament. • Teams are required to show up at the designated times. A 24 hour notice must be given if a team cannot make the day of their match. They must also provide an alternative match time if they wish to continue on in the tournament. The opposing teams will be notified and suggested to the updated match time. If they can make it. The match will be rescheduled for the agreed time. If they are unable, the team who could not make the originally scheduled time will forfeit their position. • No inappropriate language is permitted, i.e. trash talking or swearing. If enough evidence is provided to suggest intentional abusive language, the offending team will be rejected from the tournament.
