Scheduling Matches
Use the bracket and the registration list to find your opponent and his/her TetrisFriends account.
At the beginning of each week, send a message to your opponent stating what times you will be free for that week in PST. The current time in PST can be found here. It is HIGHLY recommended that you log in HardDrop daily to check your inbox.

If you are not planning to play at the assigned time during the weekend and would like your match to be streamed and/or commentated, send me a message.

If neither player can play on the weekdays, there will be an assigned time to play on the weekend.
You are not required to play at exactly that time, but you must complete your match by Sunday 11:59pm PST unless either you or your opponent has an approved, legitimate reason (send me those here) for not being able to show up that week. Be aware that not very many excuses will be accepted. By signing up, you have made a commitment to playing your matches.

If your match is not completed by 11:59pm PST on Saturday without an excused absence, the following procedure will be used to determine the match winner.
[spoiler]
A player is automatically disqualified if he/she
1. Has not signed into HardDrop for three days AND/OR
2. Has not responded to his/her opponent's messages regarding scheduling the match

Please note that both players could be disqualified if neither player makes an effort to schedule the match.

If neither of the two conditions is satisfied, a screenshot of the chat dialogue must be sent to me via pm by Monday night 11:59pm PST. The tournament administrators will reach a verdict the following day. [/spoiler]


Match Settings
Matches will be played in Arena on Tetris Friends under the following room settings: non-ranked, Expert Plus, no items, no maps.


Matches are first to 15 wins, win by 2.
[spoiler]In other words, to win a match, you must have at least fifteen game wins AND a two game lead on your opponent. If the score reaches 15 wins without a 2 win lead (e.g. 15 vs 14), the match continues until one player achieves the 2 win lead, upon which that player will win the match.[/spoiler]

Reporting Results
Take a screenshot (Mac Users; PC Users) of your match results and attach it in this thread along with your final score (ex. User1 15-13 User 2). If your match was streamed, you may state that instead of posting a screenshot.

hellooooo DrOcta! According to the bracket, I'm your opponent lol... however, I don't see the time and day for our match yet. I wonder if we are suppose to schedule it ourselves or send a request to someone? hmm

Is the format the same as last year (where the top 16 go into double elimination) or is it just one big single elimination tournament like the bracket suggests?

Edit: if I read correctly I'd already know the answer to my question is yes.

Thanks, I appreciate you telling me! I don't know about scheduling either... I guess we'll just have to wait and see. If we have to schedule it ourselves I'm available every day except Mondays and Tuesdays, I usually get home from school by 2:00PM Pacific Time.

I'm sure you can pm the person you're playing and arrange a different time.

And omg :o i'm not one of the people who have to play a match straight away! Success.

For the players who are confused - you can schedule your matches any time or day you want them to be. They just have to be played by Sunday 11:59pm PST. If neither players can come to an agreement for match times, a scheduled match will be arranged.

messaged my opponent, I'll face him when I can I guess.

Sunday, 11:59 PST.  Half of the matches on dhuang413's schedule are for October 13, which is a Sunday.

Yes, it is. Challonge doesn't allow me to make a bracket that has both single and double elimination, so a separate bracket will be used for the playoffs.

Under "Scheduling Matches in the opening post, it says that you should send your opponent a message stating what times you will be free for that week. You can arrange a time to play your opponent before the designated time. If that's not possible, then you must play at the scheduled time.
