Hosted by: Now it's official! [SoA] is launching the second biggest tournament of the demo!
WHATThe SW Demo Death Match Tournament is a tournament hosted by the Soldiers of Abnegation clan to promote the Secret Weapons Demo. It is a ladder-type knockout tournament in which up to 16 players can participate in a special map which has been made specifically for the tournament.
WHOAnyone that wishes to participate may do so. You must know how to install SW Demo mods, as well as an anticheat program that will be required for all participants.
WHENThe tournament will start as soon as 16 players register. Registration will be done on the LPS forums
ONLY.
WHEREThe main tournament server will be hosted in Canada, although this can change depending on the availability of the host. As previously stated, the tournament server will not be up until 16 players have registered for the cup. It will, however, be hosted for practice rounds, before the tourney begins.
HOWFirst, download and install the necessary files to your computer.
These files are required by
ALL contestants to be able to join the tournament server(s). Instructions on how to install the files are provided in the zip files.
Tournament map + Anti-wallhack add-on for Death MatchDownload:

In case you were wondering, the "Anti-wallhack" add-on is amongst many measures taken to eliminate cheating during the tournament, especially since this being a Death Match tournament players would normally be able to see each other in the mini-map, as well as being able to heal each other. All of this has been disabled (as well as name tags) in both the map file and the Anti-wallhack add-on, to make the event an enjoyable experience for everyone.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONHow it's gonna workThis tournament, if everything goes well, should take 5 weeks to complete. We will start from the Round of 16 and finish with the Finals, for a grand total of 5 tournament matches. 16 players start at the round of 16, and the 4 weakest will leave after each match, until only 4 are left in the Finals. The player with the most frags (kills) overall wins the tournament.
Screenshots will be taken at the end of each match by admins to calculate the score of each player and for them to eliminate the 4 weakest players.
General guidelines and rules:1. The game mode of the tournament is Death Match, or free-for-all. There are no teams, you kill everything that moves.
2. Do not use radio commands, they can be seen as a cheat
3. No trash-talking or rude behavior, please respect your opponents
4. Rage quiting in the middle of a tournament match means disqualification
5. Do not camp on the map, try to always be on the move
6. Try to avoid bugging as much as possible
7. Please do not suicide, as it messes up the score system that has been set for Death Match. Only do so if you really have to (i.e. you're stuck somewhere).
8. Matches will be 30 minutes long
9. Everyone has to show up for their matches, at the time set by the tournament admins. So for the Round of 16, there should be no less than 16 players in the server, for the Quarter-Finals, 12, for the Semi-Finals 8, and etc... Failure to do so will mean the match will have to be redone at another time. Let's try to avoid no shows.
10. When joining a match or practice for the tournament, you must be on the Allied team (no spawn points for Axis)
11. Do not constantly change names between matches, please stick to just one to avoid confusion
12. There are no ammo boxes on the map, but a supply train rolls by every minute
. Stand a few meters beside it to reload your weapon!
13. Health packs are hidden across the map. Find them!
14. You are highly encouraged to film your game play! (Remember we want to promote these events, to have more contestants in the future!)
