Announcing the Treaty Team Brawl!

[charlemagen]

Here Comes the Treaty Team Brawl!
After a long wait since our last Treaty Tournament - a flipping year! - we figured it was about time to start working on our next tournament. With the Treaty Fan Patch in a strong place, this seemed to be the perfect time. The TTB Tournament Admins thought it would be a fresh of breath air to have something a little different than the usual 1v1-based tournament. So, we had the idea to hold the first ever 2v2 treaty tournament!

Basic Deets
- Played on the most up-to-date release of the Treaty Patch
- Played on ESO
- TR40 No Blockade
- Master Sergeant rank in either Treaty or Supremecy required for entry
- 2v2 Game Mode
- Played on an improved Andes, Orinoco, and new map
- Single Elimination Bracket
- Winning team takes all - $200
- Takes place in late September

How you can pick your teams
- A team’s combined ELO must not exceed 4600
- A player’s ELO will be averaged between his current team ELO and max team ELO (Example: a player has 2200 current team ELO but 2600 max team ELO. For the intents and purposes of this tournament his team ELO is 2400.)
- A player’s ELO is capped at 2500; if your overall ELO is higher than 2500, it will simply be considered as 2500
- There may be some slack given to the enforcement of the ELO limit of a team. If the team only slightly exceeds the ELO limit, a pass may be given to them on the discretion of the Admins.
- Your ELO rating can be viewed here: http://aoe3.jpcommunity.com/rating2/

Example 1 (GOOD):
Player 1 ELO - 2200
Player 2 ELO - 2050
Combined ELO - 4250

Example 2 (BAD):
Player 1 ELO - 2400
Player 2 ELO - 2300
Combined ELO - 4700

[Jaeger]

What? A year since the last treaty tournament? I'd believe that the first treaty tournament was a year ago, but not the second, no?

Yeah, there was a little invitational around march

[dicktator_]

Yeah, personally I don't count that invitational as an actual tournament, but maybe that's just because I lost.

I probably won't be playing in this 2v2 tournament btw, unless we don't have enough players or something.

What are the odds that: A) Some people will mess with their ELO rating to allow them to play with a buddy? B) If the admins give a pass to one team on an over 4600 combined ELO, at least TWO other teams will bitch about it? C) Siad bitching & following reponses will generate >5 ppg. of drivelling posts, that will descend into moronic name-calling and bashing(give me an over/under in # of pages before the descent)?

[EAGLEMUT]

I think we should be fine, our combined ELO is 3556 right now.

[HeatitUP_]

You guys better find noobs real fast to give free wins to if you wanna win or a good smurf =]

[charlemagen]

Yeah, this will be posted in the rules but players who intentionally lower their elo will be banned from entering

Then they'll find PR 17's and go Russia vs France and then just spam strelets so they can lose the legit way
