[td]Settings[/td]

[td]There have been several changes since we made the original announcement. The showmatch will now consist of three rounds - all teams will get to play a set of 4 games against each other.

12.00 GMT[/td]

[td]Round 2[/td]

[td]Prize[/td]

The showmatch consists of a total of 12 games - each game will secure the winning team 1/12 (currently 50 dollars) of the total prize pool.
If you want to contribute to the prize pool, send your contribution to [email protected] . We will only allow the prize pool for this tournament to increase by 100% (total of 1200 dollars) - anything above that will go to future events.

[td]Civilisations[/td]

There will be no banning of civilisations. Players on each team can pick any civilisation during their matchups. Civilisations cannot be repeated during the same round.
Hidden civilisations must be enabled in the Voobly lobby.

[td]Colour Positions[/td]

Players can choose any spawn location, that belongs to their team, on the map using player colours. To see what colours correspond to what position, see the image below.
By default, players will spawn randomly on the maps like on all other random maps. To enable colour positions, set the lobby resources to "Medium Resources" (starting resources won't be affected).
Teams must use the same set of colours throughout the entire round.

[td]Slinging[/td]

Slinging has been disabled throughout Feudal and Castle Age. Once players hit the Imperial Age, slinging becomes available once coinage has been researched.
Slinging after coinage has been researched will result in a 20% tax rate.

[td]Maps[/td]

The map pool contains sevens maps - see this thread for pictures and download links. The order of which the maps are played is chosen by the MembTV stream chat. If you want to influence what maps are played, tune in the 21st of April and cast your votes. The maps are:

[td]Arabia
Desert Slope
Donut
Grand Bara
Mirage
Shelter
Waterhole[/td]

[/td]

[td]Stream Policy[/td]

[td]The show matches offer completely open streaming for everyone but requires anyone interested to contact me so they can be added to our list of official broadcasters.
You must send your application before the 19th of April.

Casters must use a specific banner made for broadcasters. These assets will be provided later.

Players broadcasting their own point of view, must add a stream delay of at least three minutes.

Teal pocket, time to call gg already?

On a serious note: I think it would be nice to have the same colours that teams are using in ECL, for the sake of continuity, but also because it's really easy to distinguish the two teams on the minimap since the colours fit quite well together.
Red, yellow, purple (and orange) vs blue, green, teal (and grey) is just the most pleasing to the eyes imo.
Not sure if it's worth to change the settings for this tournament, but it's something to think about for future showmatches and tournaments which will be using the fixed position as well.

Keeping these colors is probably fine for this one day event, but for future TG events odd vs even colors should become the standard, just like fixed positions.
