Peanut's 3X Double-Elimination - Team Doubles Tournament
This tournament is in the same style as my Singles Editions. It is bracket-type tournament with each round being itself a double-elimination series. All 64 teams will be grouped by 4 and the winning team of each group will be the winner of the double-elimination round and move on to the following round in another group with 3 other winning teams. Note that elimination doesn't mean a loss in a single game but rather in a set of games against one team (i.e. best of 3). You can lose no more than one set of games per round.
The tournament winning team will therefore have to win 3 consecutive 4-team double-elimination brackets.
When signing up, please only one post per team and include the name of both team members as well as the home map selection.
For those unfamiliar with a double-elimination bracket, here is the format for 4 teams (which we will be using).
[spoiler=Diagram of a 4-team double-elimination bracket]
[/spoiler][spoiler=Modified 3-team double-elimination bracket]All teams will play each other once in a match-up. As soon as a team loses 2 match-ups, they are eliminated and the remaining teams will play until one team loses 2 match-ups in the round. In the event that all three teams each have a loss after the round robin play, a special 3-team match-up will be played (1 game on each home map plus 1 random map) with the team winning the most games moving on to the next round. In the event that two teams win two match-ups each, they will play a final match-up (home maps plus 1 random map) to determine a winner.[/spoiler]
How the tournament works
Round 1
Given that we have 49 teams signed up, we will have 15 groups of 3 and 1 group of 4 all chosen randomly.
The groups of 3 will play a modified double-elimination bracket (see spoiler above).
The group of 4 will play a standard double-elimination bracket (see diagram above).
3 games at a time (1 on each home map, 1 on random map).
Match-up winner determined by best of 3.
Winner of the bracket moves on to the next round.
