Black Ops - Winter Cup Info
Posted: Thu Dec 30, 2010 4:30 pmWinter Cup
In the New Year the Black Ops Admin Team will introducing a new cup that we hope will make things more interesting.
When going through the feedback from previous cups that clans left we saw a pattern emerging. That clans were not always a fan of the straight knock out format. As it could end up with teams playing only one game before they were knocked out.
New Cup Format
Our plan is to split clans into groups of either 4 or 5 (depending on numbers) where teams will play each other once. 3 points for a win, 1 for draw and 0 if you lose. The top 2 clans will go through to a knock out stage.
Group Stage Explained
The fixture format will look like this :
Tuesday 20:00 and 21:00
Wednesday 20:00 and 21:00
Knock Out Stage Explained
The Quarter Finals and Semi Finals will look like this :
Sunday 20:00 and 21:00
The Final will be on date that both clans in the final agree.
S&D Cup Rules
To make the matches quicker and to avoid matches running on to long. We will be adding a cup config to change the settings to MR10.
What Cups Will Be Run
By trying to save time and draw all the cups out too long we will be running all the S&D cups on the same days :
S&D Basic
S&D Original
S&D HC ?
So clans can only enter into ONE of the cups.
We know that there are clans that like to play both S&D and CTF so the CTF cup will be ran a week after the S&D Cups.
What Maps Will Be Run
As it is a winter cup we thought we would run the cup on the snow maps :
Array
Grid
Summit
WMD
Cup Sign Up
We will get the sign ups as soon we know the outcome of the interest checks. But due to site issues probably won't be until 9th of Jan
