BGH TOURNAMENT

Date:  Saturday, January 14, 2006
Time:  3PM – 5PM  <EASTERN TIME>
(Players should actually be in channel @ 2:50PM instead)
Channel:  Op WC2BNET @ US.EAST

 

Why a "BGH" Tournament?  Well, because BGH has been around for a very long time and is STILL played today. 
      And over the years, many different versions of BGH have been made.  This tournament is celebrating and acknowledging the different types of BGH available today.  :)
      Which one is "better", and why not only play ONE of the versions listed for the whole tournament?  Well, because I'm not sure if I really can find "16 only 2HF" or "16 only NO-AIR" players, etc. anymore.  The community simply isn't large enough. 
      Each map is different--whether it be because the physical map itself or the rules applied (no air, no magic, etc)--and therefore lead to different styles of play.  No map is "better" than the other... Good players should be able to adapt and apply their knowledge to the different versions--and that is the REAL challenge of this tournament.
    And if you don't play all the maps listed here, why not give it a try?
    Please don't be stubborn--stay open minded.  If you are unwilling and not ready to play all 6 of the maps listed below, then you probably shouldn't join the tournament...

VERY IMPORTANT:  I have pre-selected the “correct version” of the maps to be used and renamed them to ensure when hosted, it is the actual approved map.  I have checked the maps for “fairness” (rigged, resources, upgrade timings, extra units/strength, etc, etc).  This also ensures W2Insight replays can be viewed by anyone properly. 

All players MUST use the provided maps only.

All players must PRE-DOWNLOAD (see links below) these specific maps from here before the tournament begins.  You should save them in your war2 download maps folder (C:\Program Files\Warcraft II BNE\Maps\Download)

This tournament may include the following maps (listed in no specific order):

BGH NO AIR          BGH MAYO

BGH SEA                KOTR BGH

BGH 2HF                MINI BGH

PLEASE RE-DOWNLOAD "BGH SEA" IF YOU PREVIOUSLY DOWNLOADED IT BEFORE JAN 8 BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN RE-EDITED (BOTTOM LEFT CORNER HAD LESS SPACE THAN THE OTHER CORNERS--SORRY I MISSED THIS THE FIRST TIME)

NOTE: Each map will be used no more than once. There will be four rounds to determine the final winner, meaning players could play up to four different maps this tournament. The actual maps used for which rounds will be randomly drawn and announced once the tournament begins.

Games must be hosted on the following settings:

Speed:             Fastest

Resources:      Map Default

Location:        Random

Ö (do check)       One peon Only

This tournament will be Single Elimination, <1 ON 1>.

Only 16 players will be allowed in the Tournament.  Spots will be reserved on a first come first serve basis.  

You may make a formal request to reserve a spot in a tournament by filling out this form here.  You will receive a confirmation (via email or whatever you prefer) when your spot has been reserved. 

Requests made to the bot will be ignored--as its usually AFK.
Questions/Comments/Requests/etc. should be emailed to admin@war2.org instead.

Because BGH maps can make for some very long games (except for Mini BGH), I have decided that the finals will also be a Single Elimination and NOT Best of 3.

NOTE: Reserved spots will be forfeited should the player not be present 10 minutes before the Tournament begins.

This tournament will follow the Standard Tournament Rules.
