If you have been waiting until the last minute to register, your time has come! The last day to register for this year’s FLAG tournament is Thursday, October 15th at 9 PM pacific / 12 AM eastern. When the deadline passes, you will be unable to register for any of the events. You can, however, continue to make donations. As of today, we still have plenty of room in all the events but we would like you to register soon so that you are confirmed and ready to go without any worries. If you have already registered, that’s awesome! Your final step is to make sure you are listed on the “confirmed players” list. If you registered, but do not see your team/gamertag on the confirmed players list, shoot us an e-mail so we can fix it: flagtournament@gmail.com
On Friday October 16th, the brackets will be seeded and posted online so you can see who you will be playing, what maps/gametypes to expect, and who will be your referee. When you find out who is your referee, send them a text message on XBL so they can invite you when your match is scheduled to begin. The brackets will have all information you will need for the tournament including exact times matches begin. It is your responsibility to check the brackets as it is updated after every match.
One of the more common questions I receive is “How do you determine the brackets?” The brackets are seeded randomly. I know some people use a random number generator, but I like to do it old school. I write every person’s gamertag on a little card. Shuffle them, mix them, toss them in a bag, and shake it. And then I deal them out, face down, into stacks (aka matches). We don’t look at your stats and we don’t have you do a qualifier. From past experience, most matches seem pretty evenly matched, and with double elimination, you’re given a 2nd chance if you happen to get matched up with some tougher competitors.
Just over a week left for registration! Don’t get left out this year, register today!
