In our Overwatch tournament teams of 6 will compete in head to head knockout style best of 3 games. The game type for the event is; Escort: The attacking team is tasked with escorting a payload to a certain delivery point before time runs out, while the defending team must stop them. The payload vehicle moves along a fixed track when any player on the attacking team is close to it. Teams will consist of 6 people, these teams will be randomly selected on the day, however friends may team together but in no more than groups of 3 in the interest of fairness.
In our Rocket League Tournament players will compete in 5 minute timed matches, person leading at the end will progress Xbox 360 controllers to be used. If any players signs up and then cannot be reached, their opponent will progress. Tournaments will be head to head knockout, with any odds numbers being corrected by giving byes in the first round. Winning semi finalists will progress to the final which will be a best of 3 match of the same rules. Losing semi finalists will play in a 3rd place playoff under the same rules as the final.
