ABOUT Blade Symphony Christmas Tournam

Blade Symphony Christmas Tournament (over, Ichmag won)

A last tournament before the year's end, to celebrate once again a year of the existence of Blade Symphony.

It's being held 30-12-2015 (dd/mm) at 21:00 (9 PM) CET - 14:00 (2 PM) CST - 20:00 (8 PM) GMT.

The tournament will follow a bracket made by Challonge, and we will be playing by the single elimination rules*.

THE BRACKET: http://challonge.com/BSChristmas2015

The server will be Fug's Teahouse (uk).

The map that we will play on is a custom (for this tournament) made map by Lunik called duel_void

Rules

1 - Trolling is an immediate kick from server and tournament.

2 - N1 (the act of playing overly passive) is to be avoided as much as possible, this will be counteracted by making the participants fight to the death. Which brings me to rule #3.

3 - A draw is not allowed, a match will be fought until 1 of either players has won 2 rounds.

*: Single elimination

A single elimination tournament means that once you have lost you are permanently eliminated from the tournament.

RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

Blade Symphony F2P soon!

September 10, 2017 - raffle | 0 Comments

Hello everyone, sorry for the annoying pop ups, just wanted to grab your attention.

Most of you probably stopped playing Blade Symphony because the community died out, or simply because your friends didn't wanna buy the game and you were the only one playing it.

Well, the game is finally going Free to Play soon and since you're part of this old group, it probably means you cared about this game one way or the other, if you did, then head over to the Active Blade Symphony Players where we host game nights, tournaments, events, and specially if you wanna know exactly when the game goes Free to Play.

You can also join the Blade Symphony discord at Puny Human's Discord[discord.gg]

Hope to see you in game!

Feedback Please :D

Hey everyone!

Thanks for all of you who showed up and participated in the 2015 Blade Symphony Christmas Tournament! For many of us on the organizing/managing side of things, this tournament gave us a lot of lessons learned and thoughts for future tournaments. We wanted to share them with you, but we also want you to offer any feedback you have about the whole thing in case we missed anything! I'm expecting dank memes to crop up in the comments but actual feedback will really be appreciated :)

Our thoughts:

Communications/Management

-Maybe consider going back to Steam chat (Steam chat has no notifications though)
-Big issue was that people would have different names in Discord vs Steam (30 min roll call was intended to mitigate this)
-Need to let people know more than one hour in advance to join Discord
-Need to perform a roll call earlier than 30 mins before the tournament (1 hour? 2 hours?)
-Because of so many absences, a lot of bracket changes were taking place quickly and we had no known way to properly manage results for matches where both players were missing.
*Consider using Challonge for sign ups/call outs.

Infrastructure (Server)

-It would be nice to have regional servers to host matches where most folks are within that region (ex- EU, US)
--This one has the complication of people in two different regions (solve by coin flip?)

Stream

+Interviews during stream intermissions was awesome!
-Too many commentators at one time (I read this comment in chat, what do you guys think?)
-Chat ads for groups, discord, and BS Steam page should have been automated.

Thanks to all of you who joined and kept the F L O W going, none of this could have happened without you!
