Improvement Cup V and Improvement Cup VI are two tournaments organized by Chrazini and me.
In the HIGH ELO CUP the champions will get 400$. In the MIDDLE ELO CUP the champions will get 200$.

The maximum combined rating for the high elo tournament will be 4100 elo.
The Viper as 2500 could for example team with a 1600 and join the tournament or a 2400 elo player with a 1700.


The maximum combined rating for the middle elo tournament will be 3700 elo.
Here a 2500 elo player could for example team a 1200 player or a 1900 with an 1800 elo player.

Settings:

In the tournaments you will play 1v1s and 2v2s.


The tournament will start with two 2v2s, followed by four 1v1s (two 1v1s per player). If a decider is needed, the decider will be 2v2.
This means 5 maps maximum per player.

Swiss Stage:


The tournament will run with a swiss system, where u need to win 3 matches to advance to the knockout stage.
U will play 1 series per week.

In the swiss stage u will face only teams with the same record in the tournament as u have.

1606906107926.png


The teams who will go 3-0 in the swiss stage will play a showmatch vs each other for 100$ in the HIGH ELO CUP and 50$ for the MIDDLE ELO CUP.

Mappool:

There wont be any drafting or banning for the maps. for each round we will give u set maps to play. This way u can prepare for the maps. U just choose who of u will play on which 1v1 map.
1606905716043.png


We will provide a screenshot/picture for each map in the tournament. (u will find it in the mappool thread)
There will be a mod for the tournament maps.

Civ Draft:

There wont be any civ drafts. We will give u for each 2v2 map 5 civs to choose from and for 1v1 map 3 civs to choose from. (u will find the civs for each map in the civpool thread)
This way u can prepare specific strategies for each map with your prefered civ.

Slinging:

-only players who reached the imperial age are allowed to sling!

Rules:

-have at least 100 1v1s played, sign up with your main Account and have at least 200 rated games in total
-make sure you have time to participate in the tournament
-offer three different available times u can play in a week
-be able to play your games between 10-21 GMT as starting Times

-->this is supposed to make sure that the scheduling between the players will work and be more smooth.

-->if u sign up for the tournament, while u are not able to offer at least 3 times during the week, between 10-21 GMT (as starting times) to play your matches, you will get banned. Dont assume only because u have time on the weekend that all your opponents will have as well.

-->If u sign up for the tournament but then dont show up to your matches, i will also ban u from my future tournaments.
-Players are free to schedule there matches also for the weekends, but offer your opponents also times during the week to play your matches.

-treat your opponents with respect
-1 Restart per team for each series until min 4
-no laming before min 3 (that includes boar laming and sheep stealing)
-we will use the following bugged map Rules to call an admin Restart:
--> If less than 6 tiles of a Players main gold are accessible on one side or less than 4 tiles of a Players specific extra golds
(Extra golds that don’t belong to a particular player are excluded)
-->If less than 4 tiles of a players Stone are accessible on one side
(Extra stones that don’t belong to a particular player are excluded)
-->If less than 4 tiles of player-specific forage bushes are accessible on one side
(Extra forage bushes that don’t belong to a particular player are excluded) -->Any of the starting animals are trapped or in any way inaccessible
-on non tc starts no laming until Minute 5 (dont kill vills before min 5)

Hello, I'd like to sign up, however, I only have around 50-60 1v1 played, I'm guessing the 100 games played is to avoid smurfs, so can there be an exception in this case?

Exceptions for very well known people in the community are possible.

Are u the Argentinian player from voobly times?

Something in general to this topic: We will do exceptions regarding this topic very rarely. Well known in the aoe community doesnt mean that u hang out in 1-2 twitch chats or that u have 10 friends u play AoE with. Just to make this clear.

Like Millo assumped correctly this rule is to avoid smurfs. We have to be very strict about this, since we are managing here two tournaments at the same time and it is very important to us that we protect the competitiveness of this tournaments.

In the past it has happened that people smurfed and cheated on the elo rules of tournaments already.

Millo just pm me your infos about your account, what rating you think is your true rating and two known members i can contact which can approve your case. Thanks :smile:

When u are always available on the weekends, then u just need another day where u could meet the criteria of others.

U will play only 1 match per week, which means it is possible that u can play your matches always on the weekend. But that is not guaranteed. It can happen that u need to play one match during the week, depending on how fast you and your teammate will schedule.

Just to make the reasons clear why we request 3 different times a week at certain times from the players.

In past tournaments it has happened that teams sign up and then offer there opponents: hey guys, we can play 4 GMT, how is that for you? Oh that doesnt work, then we can only offer 6 GMT on wednesday?
-->This can clearly not work in a tournament.

But for example: several teams from South America will sign up, they can offer the weekends and could play other teams during the week for example 22 GMT (like from North America or South America)
Will we allow them to sign up?: YES

We want the scheduling to go as smooth as possible and as comfortable as possible. Which is why we will handle the scheduling like this:

I might have read over it, but I can't seem to find the approximate timespan of when and how long you think the tourney will take place? Would be good to know an approximation for availability.

Hey, :smile:

The tournament will start on the 15th of December. When it will finish will depend on, if we have to take a break between christmas and new year.

In total it will take 6-7 weeks. So the tournament will be done early February.

2v2 with mixed ELO (pro with noob), actually was a very old idea of mine. I always wanted to team with an expert back in the days. 11

I will watch the tourney for sure!
