I am incredibly excited to announce Nomad Summer Showdown (NSS). A 1v1 nomad tournament featuring 12 players fighting for victory on the standard Nomad map as well as eight other unique maps - some known, some brand new.
The tournament will feature the twelve highest rated players on Voobly registering for the tournament.
All games will be streamed live from: https://www.twitch.tv/nerdragequit.
Participants are allowed to stream their POV if their opponent agrees.
The dates for this tournament will be June 21st - June 30th.
The tournament will be played over two weeks with games only being played on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
So specifically - June 21st, 22nd, 23rd & 28th, 29th & 30th
The main event will be June 22nd, 23rd, 29th, 30th.
June 21st will be a pre-show & show match and June 28th will be a semi-finalist FFA.
The current prize pool for this tournament is $500.
(If you would like to contribute to this prize pool message me(NerdRageQuit) directly.
Semi Finalists : 5% of prize pool (4 people, total 20%)
Finalist : +20% of prize pool (25% total for finalist)
Tournament Champion : +60% of the prize pool (65% total for Champion)
For example if the prize pool stays at $500...
Semi finalists will each get $25 / Finalist will get an additional $100 / Champion will get an additional $300
The deadline for registration is June 1st.
All players must use the dedicated thread on AoEZone.net to register.
All players must own all the Age of Empires 2: HD Edition expansions on steam (so that WK works on Voobly) before the deadline has been reached.
To sign up, you must have read and accepted all the rules and settings.

On Friday June 28th. The semi finalists will participate in a FFA event where several FFA's will be played. $25 will be given to the winner of each FFA. FFA's will take place on the NSS map scripts. Players can choose civ but cannot choose the same civ more than once.
Additionally, for those who sign up and do not make it into the 1v1 tournament (and who want to participate), there will be a mini round robin 4v4 TG series played the weekend following the tournament on Saturday, July 6th. The settings for this will be the same as the 1v1.
The following rules only pertain to the first four minutes of in-game time. If any of these rules are broken deliberately, a warning will be given, and an admin restart will be initiated.
• Villager fighting is not allowed.
