Hello people from Toribash and welcome to the gigantic RK-MMA Masters Tournament, the first big tournament brought to you by the RK-MMA Organisation [RMO] !
This is a 128-bracket tournament and the bracket will be based on GMTs for first to make it easier to compete at the start, but it will be randomly generated within each GMT.
The mod will be rk-mma.tbm only and you'll have to play first to 5 and save your replays, but more to that in the rules.
The first two rounds will last 2 weeks, after that the deadline will be shortened to 1 week per round, but this will be announced.
There is no entry fee and if you can't get in the tournament this time no worries, there will be more in the future !
Of course you have to keep the deadline for the rounds. If you are not, we will make decisions on kicking you to keep the tournament smooth. The player who made the most effort in trying to get his match done will advance. If your opponent won't respond and the deadline is close to the end, please contact Vipertech oder Destram.
Also, when you post your score, you must attach replays of every match you played during the whole duel everytime (If you don't do this, the matches won't count !). This is easy, since you can just go into the settings ingame and turn the autosave function on before you play your matches so you don't have to do it manually all the time. Also when you post your score, please include the Bracket you are in. For example : Bracket 1 - Destram 5 - 4 ViperTech
There are absolutely no rules refering your playstyle, but remember that there is an award in form of 30.000 TC for the best replay at each round, so it's your choice to rather provide us some awesome replays of the fights (more to that below) !
Note : For the "Best replay at each round", everyone who wants to participate has to choose one replay from the games you played in the current round, no matter if winner or loser. When you post the score with the replays you can just write for example "I'd like to choose the 3rd replay I posted, named ______ to participate for the award of the best replay in this round". However, you can't choose a replay based on how your opponent played, this ONLY refers to your tori in the replay, so choose wisely. You can edit your post to choose another replay as often as you want till the round has ended.
There will be 7 rounds in which you can claim the replay award : 128 players -> 64 players -> 32 players -> 16 players -> 8 players -> 4 players -> 2 players
Of course, if you lose a duel, you can't participate for the upcoming round awards anymore.
We won't disclose the criteria on which the replays will be judged, since we don't want anyone to only play in terms of trying to get the replay prize. This is still a tournament and winning is the main aspect why you participate in here, but if you really like a replay of your fights for some reason, you can just let it participate for the award.
The sign up starts at the time where the tournament was posted. There is no entry fee, the sign up is absolutely free. When we reached 128 players, the tournament starts and the Sign Up is closed.
Alright, so I talked to Viper and we are gonna extend it to a 128-bracket tournament. That means that there will be 2 64-brackets ( challonge.com/rmo and challonge.com/rmo2 ).
That also means, that the Sign Up rule "RMO members will have a reserved spot" is gone.
The replay prizes however won't be splitted up, so it will be 7 rounds in which you can claim the replay prize (128 -> 64 -> 32 -> 16 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2).
Also we edited the first rule and when players don't keep the deadline, the player who made the most effort in trying to get the match done will advance.
We will wait until all spots are taken and then start it, so the "1 week to Sign Up" - rule is also gone. When all spots are taken we will announce the start of the first round and the fights can begin.
