    The CFL will be running the rules for the tournament. Expect to follow the same rules from CFL Season 1. Black and White rules will be in effect. If you screw up you're DQ'd no buts.

    since these dates suck, we might need someone to play for me

    Please note, since ~March 22nd it has been know that this tournament would need to happen between the CFL Season 1 and ~April 21st.

    We announced that we had to have our team picked by April 26th.

    I realize that it's frustrating from a schedule standpoint. It's also frustrating for us, but we need to have the team picked by then, this is the only logical time we can do it.

    Also, please don't swear on the boards or bypass the censor. I've already banned 1 of the regulars for posting ****. I don't want to have to remove all our competitive regulars from the game for breaking the rules. But I won't hesitate to do so if you push it.

    I'm ALMOST certain no one knew any date of cfl season 1 and april 21st, if so where was that announced?
    And, yes. It is frustrating. Even more so its frustrating that we were one of the teams that went/placed @ lan. Participated/placed in cfl.
    I understand if you truly can not change dates, then that's fine.
    but to be told "tough luck" by some clown who didn't partake in any of the lan/league quailys its truly upsetting.

    I'm guessing by your post tho it means you cannot change the date, which is all I wanted to know. we'll do what we can to try and play. ty

    and oklol...........

    Posted March 22nd.
    Who?
    Cross Fire NA/UK will be sending 1 team determined from a selection process which has already started and will last up until April 25th.

    We have to have our team selected by April 26th. Which doesn't give us a lot of time to set this up.

    Our selection process will look like this:
    4 teams will be chosen to compete in a single elimination tournament starting ~April 21st.

    These 4 teams will be chosen by various other tournaments and leagues currently running and that have run in the past.

    The 4 teams will be chosen through the following:
    1. FG LAN - Toronto, Ontario, March 30th 2013
    2. CFL Season 1 - Currently going, ending Mid-April
    3. Hammertime - Selected as a representative based on previous experience and abilities at WCG and other tournaments
    4. Invite League - To be announced. We are looking at doing a 12 team elimination tournament. This will include the top teams from CFL as well as a few select other teams. There will also be a one-shot chance to sign up on a first come first serve basis. This will not be announced, and you will simply have to stay active and stay involved to hear about it!
    The winners of these 3 tournaments + Hammertime will face off for the chance to represent our version!

    Note that Winners of the FG LAN, Season 1 of CFL and Hammertime will not be participating in the Invite Tournament.


    I even told you and the other participants at the LAN that they would be invited to the invite tournament. And that we were under a tight schedule and had to have a team picked by April 26th.

    There were also posts made by the CFL during season 1 that changed the schedule to speed things up.
  • agnBREAKOUT doesn't get a spot at lan because we lost more rounds at LAN? Because we were tied for a spot at LAN with Molson

    The difference is ray that Molson made the CFL playoffs too. But I still think you should get PDF's Spot or a spot because they didnt play at lan or CFL playoffs. Just my thoughts tho. Best of luck ray.

    Why should agnbreakout get PDF's spot when PDF is way better and has a higher chance of representing our version?
  • Why should agnbreakout get PDF's spot when PDF is way better and has a higher chance of representing our version?

    Im not saying Agn is better. Im saying they should still get a shot since they did more than PDF did to qualify for the spot. Its not about who is better its about who did what was needed to earn a spot, and in that sense Agn did more.

    Also they have 2 free spots. why not just give one to Agn.

    hammertime didn't do anything in terms of CFL or LAN either. The invited teams was based also on how good they are, not just how well they placed. If that was the case, then some of our better teams wouldn't have the chance to represent our version as they didn't get into CFL or the LAN

    I hope you know the invites for this tournament aren't just through lan and CFL.
    Saidin and myself can invite anyone who we feel is good enough to participate in this tournament. Thats why its an INVITE tournament.

    I'm going to put in the word for agn for one of the last 2 spots, i was not aware they did better than some of the teams on the list @ fg.

    Yeah, im just saying by the criteria they should get one of those spots. Its nothing against PDF being in the mix. I just feel like Agn did what was required to get a spot.

    Can you pm/post the rankings of the FG lan? From what I see they only beat 1 team, and that was revitalized.. lol.

    We definitely respect that opinion.

    This current list of teams was determined before hand. And there will be an opportunity for 2 teams to sign up.

    We'll also look at the possibility of having a standby team should someone not show up by April 17th. (also one of the reasons why we're having a check in).
  • Can you pm/post the rankings of the FG lan? From what I see they only beat 1 team, and that was revitalized.. lol.

    Yea I know they beat a pub team. A win is a win tho.

    So a team that is less qualified and less likely to represent our version should take the spot of the team that is arguably the most likely to represent our version?

    We won more rounds, won an extra match, made it to cfl playoffs, I think we deserve a spot over your team. And i dont know how we're tied for placing with a win over your team, maybe i just dont know how the rankings work, but i would assume you get ranked higher with more wins.
  • Congrats to the invited teams! What is the method to be used to pick the two remaining spots?

    Sorry I didn't mean it as you don't deserve a spot, I just meant that in brackets wise for fgLAN that we tied. Brackets not wins, if wins are considered you guys would have more

    edit: Because the requirements of achieving a spot was top 6 from lan not including the winner which was carange
