Now that Revelius has released, we're changing how tournaments and challenges are run from here on out. We want to make some changes to have greater variance in the competition that we provide, and therefore we're going to be running 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, and even 5v5 tournaments. However, only one of these will take place for both Dueling and Flying. Here's how you can be involved:
Joining Tournaments
One week before each tournament, a sign up thread will be posted in this sub-forum (and linked on discord). You'll just need to comment your in-game name and house on the thread to sign up. Then. when the tournament starts, you'll be added by the Arena team if you're online. For tournaments that require a teammate, you need to comment your in-game name, your teammate's in-game name, and your house, and then your teammate needs to like your comment. This ensures that all teammates have agreed to be on the team. You also need to ensure you're in the same house as your teammate.
This also means that there are no longer qualifiers for each tournament, and you can choose your teammates for all tournaments that aren't 1v1. Due to this, tournaments will take place on separate weekends and will always be at 12pm PST. The tournament schedule will be updated to reflect these changes.
Challenges
There will no longer be any surprise challenges. All challenges will be scheduled and will take place three times a week, rotating between the type of challenge. They'll still be joined through in-game broadcast, just like classes, so no sign up necessary! These new challenges will start after this month's Dueling Tournament, and will be added to the calendar shortly.
We're really excited to make these changes, and we hope to see you at tournaments and challenges soon!
