Teams will register with five members and up to three alternates. Prior to, or during, the tournament, an alternate may take the place of any player who is unavailable however the replaced player may not rejoin the team later. Prize support for the teams will be distributed assuming five players.
The tournament will have open registration for interested teams. Guilds may fill multiple teams if they have sufficient members; however the additional teams must use a different designation. Only one team per guild will be able to utilize the GWSCR ranking of the guild for seeding, as described below. Register in the official registration thread at the DnT website.
Initial seeding, as well as any necessary byes, will be based on the gwscr.com guild leaderboard. Cut off for the seeding will be the close of registration, any change in the leaderboard after registration occurs will not alter the seeding or bye distribution.
The teams will be paired up prior to each round for a best of three dungeon path speed run contest. The three paths for the round will be selected at random from the pool of eligible dungeon paths. No team will be required to run a specific path two rounds in a row.
The teams will begin their run at a synchronized time using time.gov. The team which finishes the path with the lowest time will be the winner of that path. The first team to win two paths advances to the next round.
The runs will be broadcast live on Twitch.tv. At least one member of each team must be able to stream in order for a team to participate.
The dungeon runs will be regulated and timed according to the Guild Wars Speed Clear Records www.gwscr.com restricted rule set.
If a team causes – intentionally or otherwise – a scripted event to bug a dungeon and prevent further progress or to unfairly advance progress, that team will be disqualified and their opponents will get a win for that path. In order to prevent excessive “unintentional” script bugs from occurring, the following paths are banned: Ascalonian Catacombs Path 2, Sorrow’s Embrace Path 2. Additionally, Arah Story is banned due to its length. Other paths which have script bugs have known workarounds to avoid the bug.
Final judgement for any disputed results or questions will rest with Guild Wars Speed Clear Record staff.
The tournament will be a two day event with the preliminary rounds held Saturday, September 27 and the conclusion held Sunday, September 28.
