Approved by literally everyone in their mother. OP and idea were taken from Limitless.
Just so that this isn't a huge mess and less work for you guys, all that you need to do is make a fresh alt with the tag:
LTI Name
Example: LTI Nog
This will allow me to track who is actually entered into the tournament, and more importantly, that everyone starts on fresh alts.
In regards to discussion in this thread, I will allow discussion of what you guys see on the ladder. This can be anything from ladder trends to who's making a large push on the ladder. To clarify, I will allow posts on ladder players. This is meant to be a competition of sorts, so compete and talk about it.
Before participating in this tournament, please take some time to read the following thread: Tournament Rules, Guidelines, and General Information
Once the playoffs start, these are the specific rules:
Specific Rules
About Activity Decisions
Activity Decisions / Coin Flips: We are changing the rules for activity / coin flip decisions for this tournament. In the event that there is an uncompleted match at the deadline, it will be coin flipped unless one or both of the players involved in the match specifically request an activity win and explain sufficiently why they deserve to win over their opponent. Attempting to schedule a battle is required in order to receive the win by activity. To make it clear that you are requesting an activity win when you post, you must open your post with "Activity Win Request" in bold.
The tl;dr version so people aren't as confuzzled: you ladder until deadline, then top 2 people make playoffs, this lasts for 8 weeks (16 players), playoffs start, single elimination, winner gets a very prestigious looking GOOD JOB from none other than myself *-*
Keep your same alts and play until the 8 week period is finished. If someone is in the top 2 when the deadline hits but has already secured their slot, the winner falls to the next person in line.
The ladder is the ladder, so all suspect drops are allowed. Good luck to everyone!
