Rules:

 

 

1 - General

 

1.1 - This page contains the comprehensive rules governing gameplay and conduct within the sG Rocket League Tournament. Whilst we have endeavored to ensure all rules provide adequate guidance to meet all eventualities, instances may occur where teams feel that further guidance is needed. In such an event, contact Travesty.

1.2 - All competitors involved in the sG Rocket League Tournament are expected to know and understand all of the rules. Not knowing that a rule existed is not an excuse for breaking that rule.

1.3 - Any rule being broken may lead to disciplinary action. This action will be at the discretion of the Admin(s) involved, and the situation will be taken into account. Punishment may include, but not be limited to, forfeits, replays, penalty points, kicks, temporary and permanent bans.

1.4 - Rosters must be submitted to the signup thread before the signup deadline. No substitutes or pick-ups will be permitted after the start of the tournament.

1.5 - Matches will consist of one team facing another team.

1.6 - Please ensure all Steam Profiles/PSN IDs are linked in the signup thread prior to registering.

1.7 - Matches must be played at the times specified in the schedule

1.8 - Players participating in the competition must compete under the same Steam ID/PSN throughout.

1.9 - Players who compete in the competition must only use one Steam ID/PSN and play for only one team in the competition. For all avoidance of doubt, once you play for one team you can not play for another even if your first team is out.

1.10 - Players who leave one team, are not permitted to participate on a different team until the end of the competition i.e. Only one team per competition. Any players found breaking this rule will result in an instant ban from all tournaments for a year.

1.11 - Your Steam ID/PSN must match that displayed on your team roster. If you change your Steam ID, you must get your captain to update your roster.

1.12 - If a player no-shows (does not inform team members and/or staff members, prior to the tournament start, of their absence), they will be banned from ALL sG Tournaments for a year.

 

 

2 - Competition Guidelines

 

2.1 - The fixture list and set game times will be released before the tournament begins.

2.2 - The top-seeded team will host a private match.

2.3 - It is the responsibility of both teams to ensure a lobby is created and all players know their specified Match Name and Password.

2.4 - A team has 15 minutes to show up with the at least TWO players and be ready to start the match. Failure to do so will result in a forfeit. Also, it is both teams responsibility to check rosters before the fixture is played to make sure that all players are eligible to play.

2.5 - Should a player be unable to connect at the start of a game, the game can be restarted within the first 30 seconds, or until the first goal has been scored.

2.6 - If a player disconnects during the game the game must continue until finished. The player will be able to reconnect during the match and in between matches.

2.7 - In the event that an entire team disconnects, the team forfeits the current game.

2.8 - At least, 1 member of each team should take a Screenshot(s) of each map's result. Screenshots should contain the map score, players on each team, and as well as the MVP of the game. PLEASE ENSURE TO TAKE THE SCREENSHOT SO MVP STARS CAN BE COUNTED FOR THE FINAL TALLY.

2.9 - The player on the winning team with the most MVP stars at the end of the tournament will get first choice of the donated prize list.

 

 

3 - Match Specific

 

3.1 - Matches will be BO5, Final will be BO7 with 1 game going to the Winner of the Upper Bracket.

3.3 - Private match settings:

Arena: Any arena but Wasteland and Rocket Labs
Team Size: 3v3
Bot Difficulty: No Bots
Region: US-EAST
Name: ie. sgmatchb

Password. ie. sgmatchb

3.4 - Teams are allowed to choose a different stadium should both teams agree.

3.5 - Only the participants of the specified match and the shoutcaster/spectator will be able to join the designated private match lobby. A player that joins a lobby or a team, who is not playing in the designated match, will be subject to punishment from sG Staff. Especially players interrupting the game or changing its influence.

 

 

4 - Creating a lobby

 

4.1 - The top seeded team will create the private lobby.

 

To create a lobby in Rocket League, follow these steps.

• Select 'Play Online'
• Select 'Create Private Match'

 

Once you've created the match, update the match setting to look like the following:

Select 'Create Match' and use the Match Name and Password corresponding to the match you're in. 

Do not select a team until ALL players from BOTH teams have joined the match.

 

To join the game; select 'Join Private Match' and enter the Name/Password for your match.

 

Example:

If you're in Match T

The name and password for your match will be: sgmatcht

 

Once you have connected, wait until all 6 players have connected and are spectating, then choose your team.

 

And now you're ready to play!

5.1 - The winning team must report the Match results within 10 minutes of its completion.

6.5 - Players found to be abusing the game mechanic to gain an advantage in a way considered by the admin team to be unsporting will result in an admin review of the match and suitable remediation will be made in respect of that game. This will include, but is not limited to: overturning match results and awarding default wins, points deduction, player/team temporary or permanent bans.

You must understand that the rules listed are guidelines to try and ensure fair and competitive play, and they will be applied by officials based on the spirit of the game.

Prerequisites

• Each team member be registered on the sG Forums 
• Not be banned during registration or the duration of the event.
• Have a minimum of 50 hours played on our current servers (prior to the deadline) in order to be eligible for prizes. In other words: you will be able to play but not eligible to win a prize if you do not have the required hours.

 

If you have this game on PS4, you can still play in the tournament! Cross-play for PS4 and PC will be available.

 

XBOX crossplay was just announced for Rocket League and hopefully it will be out in time for the tournament start.

 

Team Entry Deadline: Saturday, April 9th, 2016 - 12:00 A.M. CST

 

Need a team?

[ZachPL 1754]

I'll be there.

hi i want to sign up with my buds again trav

Yeah, this go around I'd like for active community members to have a stab at the prizes.

 

sG will likely be donating the first place prizes this go around so I'd like the prizes to go to people that are active and play in the community. If sG doesn't donate the first place prizes, then I will open it to everyone/anyone like last time (just as long as they're forum members).

 

I'm okay with having it open to anyone (as there are advantages to that) but we got some complaints last time that people just showed up and left after the tournament was over, not to be seen again.

 

If the community is open to changing it, I will be too.

[Knox 1470]

idk, doesn't seem fair to exclude people like that

 

it makes sense for things that are run for the specific games (cs/ttt events) but doesn't for a game that has no dedicated servers for people to play on

 

who complained about it last time?

Oh, you mean those guys that had like 300 hours logged on our old CS:S servers that we no longer keep logs of?  I'm pretty sure those are your friends, right?

 

 

...you see the issue here Travesty?

 

EDIT:: Also why are you taking team signups, and not drafting (like you defended in the CSGO or DotA2 tourny proposals)?  Now that it's a game you're good at, you don't get want to get stuck with shitty randoms, do you?

The only issue I see is me and Junzou not on a team and signed up already. 

[Gerald 1371]

50 hour playtime requirement should be upon announcement release.

[Sean 3760]

Totally agree with trav here, Knox brings in his buddies who are extremely good at Rocket League compared to most casuals who are signing up, the events should be for people that are part of of the community, what's the point in holding events FOR the COMMUNITY if the COMMUNITY can't even win the prizes.

Captain's for a 3 person team for 5 minute games during a day long Tournament seems a bit unnecessary. Last time it was team entry and it ran smoothly with 0 no shows.

If it's not broken don't fix it?

Last time during team entry I got knocked out it my first two games but I still had fun. Again I'm for team entry... For the CSGO Tournament it was team entry until we got backlash from the community.

TL;DR - 3v3 rocket League Captain's Draft seems a bit unnecessary. If the community wants Captain's Draft. Then I'd be willing to change it... I just think that's a bit over done for a smaller tournament. However, nothing is set in stone.

50 hour playtime requirement should be upon announcement release.

I was thinking whether or not I should do that but it's an incentive to play. If they want to idle and get kicked, that's on them.

The community is a bunch of whiny bitches, and I hope future tournaments follow the team-entry model.  Good for you.

 

 

Still didn't address the issue about people claiming unlogged hours on older or now defunct servers though.

[trav 6834]

I wasn't aware of that issue. I could limit it to our current servers but I don't think that's necessary. They have until April 9th to get 50 hours on our current servers for proof. How they achieve that prerequisite is on them.

Is the server playtime really necessary at all?

Lol there's pros and cons to both. Last time we had it where we didn't require it. This time, we do.

There's a difference between whining and questioning if something is necessary.  Team signups make sense, because it's a team game.  Some people cried because they couldnt take the possibility that others might be better at a game than them.  The server hour requirement is there to exclude people who hang around the forums/Teamspeak who might have sunk hundreds of hours into our older servers, or to exclude sG members from playing with their non-sG friends; it's a consequence of people crying that some people in the community had friends that were better at RL than they were.  I pointed out that people could claim hours on servers that haven't been logged, not bitching because my friend Mike can't play.

 

So... fuck off?

[Carl Sagan 2577]

whats the worst case scenario if we let people bring in their friends to play? staff wont be able to claim prizes with their stacked teams?

oh no we might give some humblebundle scraps to someones friend who has no intention of playing on our niche mod servers that run on a 10+ year old game engine

humble bundle scraps? we aren't eGO. We literally gave away a 400 dollar graphics card in a tournament last year.

Junzuo made the argument last time that these tournaments are to bring in new players, but that really has never been case and most likely never will be.

 

These people play during the tournament and never join our servers again. During one of our more recent poker tourneys we gave away 400 dollars to some completely random guy that has never joined one of our servers once. 

 

I have no problem with people outside our servers playing, but I don't think they should get free stuff and never be seen again.

[UnknownLegend 5480]

So how about instead of all players must have 50+ hours, at least one player on the team must have 50+ hours, and a non-transferable prize goes only to the people that have 50+ hours in the event that they win?

 

 

NOT BITCHING FUGNER, THROWING OUT IDEAS.

[ZachPL 1754]

That's fine with me.
