What is Badge Weighted Seeding?

Short for Badge Weighted Seeding, BWS is a tournament-minded seeding method intended to more accurately seed players and enforce rank restrictions based on the player's tournament badges. In short, BWS artificially "ranks up" players based on the amount of badges they have. In terms of how much a player ranks up per badge, each badge is worth more than the one before it. More specifically, the formula is as follows:


The formula caps at rank 1. That is, a player can't go past rank 1.00 BWS (even if you were rank 2 it'd take like 30 badges to actually get rank 1.00 BWS). Remember, BWS is not intended to reflect solo play skill. Sample BWS rank values can be found on this spreadsheet.



1st place: 6 months supporter or Discord Nitro + Profile badge
2nd place: 3 months supporter or Discord Nitro
3rd place: 2 months supporter or Discord Nitro


To help maintain the competitive integrity of this tournament, we will have a blacklist setup that future NAT's may use


Current Blacklist
  1. If one player does not show up to their match, the other player may decide if they will take the win or reschedule.
  2. If both players do not show up to their match, they will be blacklisted. In this case, the higher seeded player progresses and the lower seeded player will be sent to losers and will be disqualified.
  3. Any player who fails to show up to their match without prior communication shall be blacklisted and may lose their signup priority for future NAT's.

Reffing

  1. Set up the room, with the lobby name "NAT: (Player 1) vs (Player 2)"
  2. Players will have TEN MINUTES to join. If one or both players fail to show up, please refer to the blacklist section.
  3. Once both players have joined, each player may choose to pick a warm up.A player may choose to not pick a warm up map. Warm ups are only during Eliminations. Give host to players that want to pick warm up.
  4. Once warm up is over, have host transferred back to you and have both players roll.
  5. The player who rolled higher will choose to pick or ban first.
  6. The first to ban will not be able to pick the first map, and the first to pick the map will not be able to ban first.
  7. Both players get one ban per match in all stages of the tournament.
  8. After the first map, players will alternate picks, until one player wins the match.
  9. Remain host during all maps and use the multiplayer chat to take each player's requests.
  10. In the case of a match point tie, a tiebreaker map will be played.
  11. Save chat log as well as the mp link for recording purposes.
