Do you like to think about new strategies? Do you like to try stuff that nobody else do? Yes? Then the Non Meta Commanders cup is something for you!
Details
The NMC cup is an European 1v1 tournament. Europeans and Americans may join, but I will only allow 32 people to join. If we cannot hit 32 sign ups, we will go for 16 sign ups! The tournament will be played in 2 parts. An important thing about this tournament is that you are only allowed to play with non-meta commanders. Another thing; you are only allowed to play as the Soviets or the Wehrmacht.
It is a best of three tournament. Before picking factions, the players will veto maps from the map pool. The top player, in the bracket, vetoes a map first. Then the other player, repeat until one map is left, which the two first games will be played on. Repeat the process if there is a third game.
After vetoing maps, the bottom bracket player will pick their faction. Next game, the top player chooses first. For the third, whoever has the Victory Point lead, from the two previous games, chooses first.
If somebody disconnects within the first 7 minutes of a game, the game will be played again. If there is any sign of cheating during the games the contact me. I will decide what happens.
The winner of the match must upload all 2-3 games, and link them into the tournament thread within Events Central.
