The End was in 2007. The End of all things good and holy in non-vehicle, team based fps play. Still, because we can, we decided to create a RTCW tournament for those interested in loading the classic for one more roll in the hay.

<RTCW 2012 Mayan Apocalypse Tournament Bracket>

Format:
- 16 Teams, Single Elimination.
- OSP League Config
- 6v6 with Panzer
- 1 map per match: Winner is determined by best 3 out of 5 possible rounds
- Server venue is selected by the higher seeded team
- Lower Seeded Team sets clock in Rounds 1, 4 and 5
- Higher Seeded Team sets clock in Rounds 2 and 3
- Half-Time is between Rounds 2 and 3; a 10 minute break is permitted
- 6v6 with panzer

Dates and Time:
- The Tournament will begin on some unknown Tuesday night in the not so distant future. We will select a date once signups start rolling in. Once your team is enrolled, feel free to send me an email (gromit@teamwarfare.com) telling me when you’d like to start. I reserve the right to ignore you or kick it down to Kn1ghT and ask him to ignore you.

- Round 1 will be played on Tuesday. The four matches at the top of the bracket will be played at 9:00pm est. The four matches at the bottom of the bracket will be played at 11:30pm est. This dual time-slot schedule was made to allow for the tournament to be played on 4 servers. If we are able to secure 8 servers, we are not opposed to the match times being changed by agreement of the teams.
- Round 2 will be played on Wednesday at 9:00pm est
- Round 3 (Semifinals) and Round 4 (Finals) will be played on Thursday at 9:00pm and 10:30pm est, respectively.

Tournament Maps:
Round 1: Base
Round 2: Beach
Semifinals: Ice
Finals: Village

WTVish
We will see about getting the Finals (and semis?) shoutcasted by Gamefire or the like.

We recognize that the odds of getting 16 teams to play again for one glorious week are low, but we know that many of us miss the game which held our attention for many years. With a little coordination, we can get in touch with a bunch of old friends and have some fun. That possibility makes this effort worthwhile.
