Preamble:
- Right so there's actually a lot to talk about but for now, I'll keep it short in here. I'll be putting up a separate thread for what kind of changes we're looking at once I've confirmed that it will work 100%.
- I'll be considering adding Sector 95 to the map pool on suggestion. Right now, I don't know much about the map but if I like it, I'll add it in.
- The biggest change for this month will be how seeding is handled. I'll be going back to traditional seeding for this tournament and then the rest of the changes will be for the "May" tournament. Traditional seeding seeds players based on some metric, which will be ladder ratings for our purposes. Then, based on the number of players you're auto-assigned an opponent. #1 seed vs #16 seed, #2 seed vs #15 seed and so on.
- Speaking of which, I still consider this as an April tournament. Dates be darned. The monthly streak continues.
- Also considering doing a donation system of some kind. Little bit iffy on this one since I don't really want to compete with normal Elite donations, but even marginal donations can boost the prize pool quite considerably.
- As a general note, we're going to actually start hyping these tournaments up again! Look for a lot more announcements, hopefully a vid or two. A stretch goal for me is to cut a small promo with one of the players. I think that would be a really cool thing but we'll see. For those who have never seen a promo before, they look something like...

Map Picks
Maps are always selected before hero picks.
The first match of a round will always be a fixed map as shown in the brackets. After this, the map pick will be the losing player's choice. Only maps in the map pool may be played to be considered a valid tournament match.
No map can be played more than once within a round. Each player will have the option to veto a single map during a round, excluding the first match map. Maps that are variants of other maps, such as Pale Tooth Gorge and Green Tooth Gorge, will count as one map and can't be selected in the same round.
Hero Picks
The player on the top side of the bracket cell will lock in their heroes first for the first match. Next game, the player on the bottom side of the bracket cell will lock in their heroes first, and the order will alternate like this until the final game. In the final game of the round, the losing player of the previous match will pick the map and then their hero first.
To check out who is on the top and bottom of your bracket cell, just look at the Brackets page. If your name is in the blue bar, you're the top of the bracket. If it's in the red bar, you're the bottom of the bracket.
