PiGosaur Cup  #31 (Tuesday, May 13)

한국어 기계 번역은 영어를 따릅니다.

Schedule Note: We are continuing to try out running this cup on Tuesday at the usual time (20:00 ET, 17:00 PT, 2:00 CET, 9:00 KST)as a test. We also will be using a different channel ("pigosaur") going forward. I'll be in the old channel reminding folks to move over when the event starts. 

Server Selection Update: In an effort to streamline the tournament, we are updating the server choice rules. Going forward, for all rounds EXCEPT semi-finals and finals, the higher-seeded player may choose the first server from the allowed server list in the Default Server Cross Table. For Semi-Finals and Finals, if either player requests, an admin can select the starting server randomly using a coin flip.

일정 참고: 테스트 차원에서 화요일에 기존 시간(동부 표준시 20:00, 태평양 표준시 17:00, 중부 표준시 2:00, 한국 시간 9:00)에 이 컵을 운영해 보려고 합니다. 또한 앞으로는 다른 채널(“pigosaur”)을 사용할 예정입니다. 이벤트가 시작되면 기존 채널에서 플레이어들에게 이전 채널로 이동하라고 안내할 예정입니다. 

서버 선택 업데이트: 토너먼트의 효율을 높이기 위해 서버 선택 규칙을 업데이트합니다. 앞으로 준결승과 결승을 제외한 모든 라운드에서 상위 시드 플레이어는 기본 서버 크로스 테이블의 허용된 서버 목록에서 첫 번째 서버를 선택할 수 있습니다. 준결승과 결승의 경우, 두 플레이어 중 한 명이 요청하면 관리자가 동전 던지기를 통해 무작위로 시작 서버를 선택할 수 있습니다.

Please join our Discord here for help, communications, and more!

Map Pick/Veto process (for BO3)

The higher seed can choose whether they want to veto first (A) or second (B). Vetoes then happen in the order ABABAB. The maps are then picked by A and B, with the final match taking place on the only remaining map.

Example process:

> _Player 1_: I will veto first  
> _Player 1_: -Pylon 
> _Player 2_: -Ultralove
> _Player 1_: -Last Fantasy
> _Player 2_: -Tokamak
> _Player 1_: -Incorporeal
> _Player 2_: -Ley Lines
> _Player 1_: +Magannatha
> _Player 2_: +Persephone 

In this example, the maps played will be Magannatha, Persephone, and then Torches (if necessary).

BO5 Finals

The BO5 pick/ban format is the same as ESL: Veto AB, Pick AB, Veto AB, Pick AB C

Server choice

We recognize that this tournament will attract players all over the world. We recommend discussing server choice with your opponent and trying to reach a compromise so that play is fair and fun for all. Server alternation is allowed. If you do not know what servers are fair between players of differing locations, please refer to the Default Server Cross Table. 

For all rounds EXCEPT semi-finals and finals, the top seed may choose the first server from the allowed server list in the Default Server Cross Table. For Semi-Finals and Finals, if either player requests, an admin can select the starting server randomly using a coin flip.

Lobby settings

Lobbies should be created using the "Observer PlusPlus Bugfixes" mod. Please set the settings as follows:

- Game Duration: Infinite
- Game Speed: Faster
- Locked Alliances: Yes
- Game Privacy: No Match History

Please share your lobby link in the in-game channel, especially if requested by approved casters. Only players, approved casters, and admins should be allowed in lobbies.

In game

Please be polite and considerate to your fellow players and casters. Pauses are allowed, within reason, up to 2 minutes. Reasons should always be provided. Casters, observers, and admins should always ensure that they do not have a negative impact on network or client performance. If a disconnect or technical issue occurs and a pause is extended indefinitely, or the game is closed, please contact an admin so we can arrange a rematch or resume from replay. 

Reporting results

Please report results to the admins in Discord or in-game channel. You can also report results directly in Challonge to keep the bracket up to date. Please do not report results to challonge incorrectly. If the challonge reports are incorrect, reach out to admins.
