Overview

The 7th Euro Domination Tournament season is set to start. Clans have been moved from the Signup divisions into the appropriate Tournament groups. The fixtures are now available and clans can start scheduling matches by using the Battle Planner. The first matchweek begins on Monday 25th January and teams have until Friday night to get the match arranged. Each match has a deadline for both teams to agree upon a time/date, if you fail to put any effort into match arranging then your team could be forced to play on dates/times chosen by the opponent.

Setup

The E-Dom Road To Victory Tournament is set up according to the Round-Robin approach, in which each participant plays every other participant once. Each week, a clan plays one match per gametype that the clan has signed up for. The total number of weeks depend on the amount of clans that are in a group. Groups will typically consist of around 7-10 clans, which leads to 7-9 weeks of competition.

Unlike in the E-Dom League and Ladder, draws can happen in the Tournament. A win is awarded by 3 points, a draw by 1 point, and a loss by 0 points. When all matches have been played, the clan with the highest score wins the group. In case of equal number of points, the largest differenced between "points for" and "points against" scored in matches will determine the winner.

All matches are to be played 5v5, except if both clans agree to play 4v4 or 6v6. Such an agreement is only valid if both clans have confirmed the agreement in the fixture comments.

Each week, a different map is played. Depending on the size of the groups, the number of maps to be played may be less than the number of different maps available. In such cases, the least played map(s) in the past 90 days will not be included.

Good luck to all teams participating!
