[*]To sign up, find a teammate and form a party. After you're both in the party, have one player type "/signup [team name]" (e.g. /signup Snail Kings) in chat. You should see a confirmation message that your sign-up went through. For those who participated in previous Nova Cups, you no longer need to do /join to signup. [*]The first 16 teams to sign up in each division can participate. For division 1 and 2 the top 8 teams are drafted per division. Other teams are waitlisted. There are usually no-shows, so waitlisted teams are encouraged to be present in the Discord and ready to play. [url=https://bit.ly/3ENaMRt]View the team list[/url] to see your sign-up position and division. [*]If there are more than 32 teams checked in, there will be an additional best-of-1 qualifying round to allow more teams to participate. It is a best-of-1, rather than a best-of-3, to keep the event from running overly long. [*] Both players must join the [url=https://discord.gg/mA9F4B2mTD]Legion TD 2 Official Tournament Discord[/url]. Make sure to [url=https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/219070107-Server-Nicknames#:~:text=If%20you%27re%20on%20the,new%20nickname%20of%20your%20choice!]set your server nickname[/url] to match your in-game name.[/list] [h1]Solo Sign-ups[/h1] [list][*]You may sign-up as a solo with a suggested team name using the "/signup [team name]" command. Solo teams will be added to the Public Teams list, then be formed into teams on the day of the tournament. Solo teams will be randomly assigned a team name from either of its members. [*]If there is a waitlist, team sign-ups will always take priority over solo sign-ups [*]If you sign up as a solo, but then you find a teammate, you can re-sign up as a team any time before check-ins start. Just use the /signup command again with the new teammate. The tournament organizer will void your old solo signup after they process your new team signup. [*]After check-ins are over, all checked-in solo players will be randomly formed into teams by the tournament organizer. You cannot request a specific teammate at this point; if you want to play with a specific person, you should have signed up as a team instead.[/list] [i]It is still strongly recommended to sign-up as a team to guarantee your spot in the tournament and to give you time to practice with your teammate beforehand.[/i] [h1]Sign-up and Check-in Video Guide[/h1] [previewyoutube=RUaH8AObyX0;full][/previewyoutube] [h1]Schedule[/h1] [b]Saturday, November 23[/b] [list][*]Check-in window: 8:45 - 9:15am PDT / 5:45 - 6:15pm CET [*]Games: 10am - 1:30pm PDT / 7 - 10:30pm CET [list][*]Round of 16 (Best of 3) [*]Quarter-finals (Best of 3)[/list][/list] [b]Sunday, November 24[/b] [list][*]Check-in window: 9 - 9:30am PDT / 6 - 6:30pm CET [*]Games: 10am - 1:30pm PDT / 7 - 10:30pm CET [list][*]Semi-finals (Best of 3) [*]Final (Best of 5)[/list][/list] [b]Check-in[/b] [list][*]Teams must check in via the [url=https://discord.gg/mA9F4B2mTD]Legion TD 2 Official Tournament Discord[/url].
