Default Multi Server Test of Tactics

Test of Tactics
Single Elimination 6 VS 6 competition for all rounds.

Blue Entry
Green Entry
Red Entry



Dates:

Green: February 11th 1PM EST
Blue: February 10th 9pm EST

Final on Green, Date Febuary 18th, at 1PM EST, all servers will be represented.
Spectator and General Rulings


Guides and GMs are considered judges and therefore restricted from being attacked. Anyone found attacking a GM or Guide may be banished from the Arena or death touched without warning.

The Arena is off limits to unauthorized PvP 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the event. This is to ensure that the contestants and spectators are safe.

Spectators shall remain seated and may not cast during the match. Any spell casting shall be considered aimed at a participant, and either harmful or helpful to someone in the match. Anyone who casts any spells (including Bard songs) during a match can be death touched and removed from the Arena.

Spectators shall not use /shout for any reason, but use /ooc instead. This is so that those involved in the match can use /shout, and the /ooc channel can be turned off to reduce distraction to the contestants involved. Use of /shout at any time can result in a silence command being issued, rendering the player unable to use any form of communication, or banishment from the Arena.

Spectators shall not interfere with this event. Severe penalties are used only when directly attacking a player involved in the match, attacking a judge during the match, or healing a player involved in a match.

We may limit the amount of people in the zone to control conditions of lag or frame rate for the participants. The event shall start open seating, but may close off at any time. The Event Staff may use any sort of decision on who stays and who leaves to ensure the event is a success. This should not be implemented until a minimum of 150 players in the zone has been reached.

AoE Spells ARE allowed in game. This has the potential of killing off some of the younger spectators, if you are killed by one of these spells, please pull your corpse out of the PvP area and await for a GM or Guide to give you a resurrection.


Combatant Rules

An entry fee of 5,000 platinum pieces will be required per seven-man teams. Money is to be given to an Event Coordinator and is due before the first match. The pool of money will be given to the winning team to divide up how they see fit.

The captain of the First Place team on each Server will be awarded the title of "The Tactician". In addition, all team members will be awarded the Golden Championship Ring. The team who wins first place in the finals competition shall have all team member’s rings replaced with the Platinum Championship Ring.

7 person teams can be made up of any race/class combination of levels 52 or greater. Only 6 may compete per match and teams may switch out any team member for the seventh player between the matches. Once the buffing period starts, switching may not take place until after the match.

The owner of the account must play the character; No "Ringers" will be allowed. If you are not the owner of the character, you can’t play the character in Best of the Best. If caught, you will be automatically disqualified, prizes will be forfeit, and banned from future Best of the Best events.

You are only allowed to register for one event. You can’t register for multiple server events. .

No more than two of any one class on a single team will be allowed.

The seventh man out is free to coach his teammates from the side lines or top of throne and will be allowed to use any in-game channels to do so.

All participants will be debuffed before the match.

Weapons with the following spell effects attached to them will not be allowed; Knockback, Fear, Invisibility, and Shrink.

A buffing period will be set for the first 30 seconds of a match followed immediately by combat. Mana will not be replenished after the 30-second period. The seventh man out may not help buff his teammates. Any created pets must stay in bounds just the same as any member of the team. If they cross the line into the other team’s area, the judges shall immediately kill the pet. Pet control will be key and pets should be made as far back from the other team as possible.

Limited Activatable items will be authorized, these items include ONLY the following.
Journeyman's Boots
Crystallized Pumice (Egg-shaped Pumice is not allowed)
ANY final Epic weapon is authorized to be held and right clicked.

Shuriken of the Tranquil will be banned in this event.

With exception to the aforementioned items with activatable properties, all items, weapons, and armor will be allowed in this event with the exception of Shuriken of the Tranquil. Activatable items of any kind may only be used for stat bonuses and processes. The right clickable effects are prohibited and will result in disqualification if used.

Unauthorized Spell List

Any form of Fear, unless directed at a pet
Any form of Charm, unless directed at a pet
Gravity Flux or Invert Gravity
Group based wolf form of any kind
Skeletal Illusions, not including Lich or Demi Lich
Bard Travel Songs
Any type of gate or translocation spell (Example shadow step)


In the event that the combat exceeds 30 minutes of real time, then the Event Staff will increase the size of the combatants every 2 minutes until combat is over.

The top of the throne is off limits to the combatants during the matches. The only people that may use the top of the throne are the seventh person of the teams and any press that are allowed to witness the match. The four firepots are also off limits to the combatants.

Starting positions are allowed anywhere that is legal (meaning not on the throne or in firepots) that is on your half of the tiles.

Judges reserve the right to disallow fleeing to take advantage of regeneration by giving warnings for delay of match. A third warning will result in disqualification of the player. This is to prevent 60+ minute matches that were seen in Test of Tactics on live.

Any use of exploits or bugs will result in immediate disqualification from the event, and is a break in the rules of conduct as set forth P99’s PNP Policy.

Finals

Those champions who go to Green are bound by additional rules: The character used for the event cannot adventure on Green for any reason. Handing off even the smallest items to a player on Green is considered duplication, resulting in a Disciplinary actions against the account, and loss of that item on your home server. Those found abusing this rule may have further action taken against the account at the discretion of CSR.

If your character was moved from another server you may only log into the character up to an hour before the event. You may not explore outside of the arena.

What does this mean? Are items used as global cooldown resets such as star of eyes acceptable to be used? Or is this to mean that no item with a right click effect is to be used, besides Jboots, pumice stones, and epic clickies but those items are allowed to be worn - just dont click it (such as a ring 10) and if so, are these items allowed to be used during the buffing phase, such as POM flowers?

No you are not allowed to click the POM flowers. You may only click the items that are on that list.

Curious if there is intention to fix the "Spells wore off" issue prior to Test of Tactics. Not knowing when detrimental spells fade or are countered via dispells/cures, will cause a major disadvantage to caster classes, potentially skewing the outcome of matches.

Question asked and answered in Discord, so posting here in case anyone else has the same question [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Question:
Quote:
Can you please specify if the players will be allowed to utilize the entire arena or if they will be limited to a smaller space (such as just around the throne center area. This has an effect on class choices depending on the size of the space we are allowed to fight in.
Visceryn's Answer:
Quote:
The fighting area is just the center stage in the middle

Two quick Qs regarding the Test of Tactics. 1) "No more than two of any one class on a single team will be allowed." Does this include the person sitting out? For example, 3 warriors on a team (but warrior #3 is the captain and sits out the match, so only two warriors are fighting)
2) Is casting dispell or flash of light on the enemy team allowed?


Visceryn — Today at 4:51 PM
The person sitting out counts too
No blinds
Dispell is allowed
