    Our flood tournament is coming, so you will need all the info you can get!

    Overview
    1. The tournament will be ladder style, stakes will be HIGH!
    2. During the tournament you will 1v1 another player, best 2 out of 3 goes to the next round and the loser is out of the tournament completely! No rematches unless we say so.
    3. No rules on boat designs aside from flood rules.
    4. Multiple/backup boats are allowed.

    Tips
    1. Don't lose!
    2. Record a demo! This way if your opponent does something we don't see... you have PROOF!
    Restricted Weapons/Tools
    1. Predator missile
    2. All VIP/Weapons
    3. All VIP tools

    Currently there are no restrictions on weapons aside from the predator missile for obvious reasons.

    I think it would be nice to have players win all 3 matches in order to progress on the tournament ladder. (best of 5)

    There could be potential issues if players win via 2-1 rather than having a tiebreaker 2-2
    "Best 2 out of 3" only translates to "win 2 matches" to progress. only 1-1 will be tiebreaker
    I want to propose adding another tiebreaker (2-2) so everything is fairgame and one of the players have a chance to catch up & 'clutch' the match

    scenarios
    • if both players are tied to a 1-1, a player wins, (1-2) that other player has a chance to catch up
    • if they're losing to a 0-2 but they somehow manage to win all 3 matches

    @counter The problem with that is time. You're suggesting adding approximately 33% extra time to the tournament. If I beat you twice, I win. Simple. If you beat me once and I beat you once, we're tied. So that means whoever wins next is clearly the winner.
