Hey everyone, and Welcome to Flames and James Pass Tournament.
For those of you who don’t like to read, TLDR maps will be very hard, nf won’t be allowed, whoever survives the longest wins.
For those of you who do like reading: Flame and I had an interesting tournament idea so we decided to make it happen. I haven’t seen any other tournaments like this one at the 6 digit level so this is going to be very experimental. Because this is a new concept, it might be a bit bumpy at first so bear with us. We’ll be adjusting pool difficulty as needed throughout the tournament. We are trying our best to have this not be a scuffed tournament so any feedback on either the pools or even the tournament format are much appreciated. Enjoy!

-If a player has not joined the lobby within the 10 minute grace period, they will forfeit the match.
-Each player may choose 1 warmup map, this map can be a maximum length of 4 minutes and can not be a map from the pool. Warmups will be played with freemod.
-After warmups each player will roll for pick/ban order. The winner of the roll will get to choose pick/ban order. The loser of the roll will get to choose between the unchosen options. FOr example: Player 1 rolls 100, Player 2 rolls 50. Player 1 decides to choose the ban order, and they want to ban second. Then Player2 gets to decide the pick order, they can choose either pick
first or pick second.
