Holiday Event: How ALM Captured Christmas! by dev_revs December 2, 2017 at 3:12 AM UTC

Hey guys! Hope you are enjoying the Holiday maps and lobby so far. The Official team has brought you a fun event that will be happening on one day! All the information is below. Hope you guys enjoy and looking forward to seeing teams play

Gamemode: This event will consist of KOTH and CTF maps, flavored with the Christmas Spirit!

Roster and Team Sizes: For this event, teams will play in a 7v7 format, and have 12 on the roster. We do have a special thing for this event. If you do not have a team, you may sign up as a "solo", any team may claim you at any time (even during the tournament). If there are enough solos to create a team, that may be done also. 

Style: We are thinking a simple Double Elimination tournament, so plan on that for now. We aren't expecting a large amount of signups, we just want everyone to play and have fun!

Development and servers: My elves put it on the top of my to-do list to make sure the servers will be working this time!

Disclaimer: Since this is a mini event, no in-game or forum ranks will be given out, and the ones you received from BOEII will not be removed. A discord rank will be given to the winning team, and Avi Claus has a special project in the making for you guys, and maybe one of his elves will pitch in too!

The tournament will take place on December 23rd at 12pm EST, and it will all be finished on that day, so be prepared to stay around anyway from 3-6 hours. We are doing some massive training with our referees right now that will ensure matches will be started quickly and end efficiently. On another note, we will have some streams for you this tournament after our streamer team is getting a revamp! Stay tuned for that. The Official team is using this to test out new trainings, styles, maps, and rules. If you have any suggestions for rule changes or additions, or anything for that matter, feel free to suggest below

Map pool: We will most likely have a map testing day on a Saturday, but here are maps we have in mind right now for a map pool. This is subject to change, and some of these maps will be edited gameplay wise.
