I'm thinking about joining up as well, but I'm not 100% sure I'll be to play yet, until when can you sign up?
also had one question,
are the first brackets randomly chosen? because as skols said earlier, host will be a big issue no matter what you try. so wouldn't it be a good idea to try and at least keep the bracket players as much one the same continent as long as that's possible?
Signup anyway. there's no penalty for missing just one tournament. If you miss 2 or 3, then maybe. Lol

As stated before, this is a single elimination event. Top 4 advance, bottom 4 drop out. Due to bracket restrictions, the last 5 people to sign up will act as substitutes for when people inevitably, do not show up. I have personally taken myself out of the tournament in order to better facilitate the rounds. In the event of a disconnect prior to the first kill of the match, the match is to be restarted. If a player disconnects from the map after the first kill, he/she automatically receives a loss. The highest seed in each bracket will be responsible for gathering all participants into a preliminary party as well as posting the final score of each match to the thread. However, hosts will be selected by majority vote for each Heat. Also, a host check on a non-Midship map will be required by the chosen host before each match is played. Lastly, a player cannot have host for two consecutive rounds, unless the other 7 players agree that, that person’s host is the best for that round. If 4 or more players in a Heat cannot decide on a host, than I will step in and pick one for that Heat.
The reason why I am not pre-selecting hosts before the event is because first, a person’s upload and download speed are not a true determinant of whether others can play on their host with minimal problems. Second, if a person is chosen as a host and they are eliminated in the early rounds, then that presents a problem. Third, if you chose your hosts before the event, then it creates seeding and bracket problems that would be unfair to everyone who is not a host. I believe my solution of letting you guys and gals chose your own host for each match is the most fair and logical way for an online free for all tournament. And I am open to neutralizing the host for the finals if that is what the top 8 wants.
P.S.
I want everyone to realize that this event is something that I organized and am orchestrating by myself. Therefore, I ask everyone to please do their best to make my job easier. I understand that the MCC still does not work 100% of the time, that is why there is no entry fee for this tournament. I can already foresee that problems will arise on the day of the event; and I promise to do my very best to resolve all issues and disputes in a way that is fair to everyone competing. With that being said, please do not cheat nor disrespect anyone participating. I expect you all to be mature, respectful and most importantly, to just have fun playing the game we all love. This is the first tourney I have put together in a while, so it is a learning experience for me as well. And if anyone needs anything from me, the best method to contact me is either in a private message or over XBL. Thanks again to everyone who signed up and good luck.
