Tournament format: Double elimination scheme team event.
The Team: 5 players, 1 of which is known as the Herald who represents the team in all official negotiation (will be created telegram chat for heralds, so please post Heralds telegram ID when register your team, also post correct IGNs of all players - this is very important for prizes distribution).
The Stratagem:
Before every tournament round start, the team chooses "the Roles" for each member and send that secret info to the tournament organizer via private message before deadline (date and time will be announced before every round, those who will be late enough will play with random generator setup). The team's score for the round is determined by which characters they defeat on the opposing team.
The Roles:
Each team consists of One King - 10 points, Two Guards - 4 points and Two Squires - 2 points. Do not open your role to the opponent until all matches of your team battle will be finished.
The Hero Pool:
Each team will play from a pool of 5 heroes, chosen by them at the beginning of each round. Any player may take any hero from their team's pool not already used that round. The team's pool should be sent to your opponent Herald and tournament organizer via private message before the start of first match in your team battle (you cannot change the Hero Pool after that moment).
Round Phases:
Wheel of Fortune: random generator will decide which heralds in current round will make the first call.
The Call: the chosen heralds calls one of the enemies and chooses a defender from his team, followed by the opposing herald announcing an enemy and their defender. This continues until all players are matched (after setup send the list of pairs to the tournament organizer via private message before the start of first match in your team battle).
The Clash: matches for players in pairs, each match is classic best of three with alternative start and deck is match lock (after all games finished send the list of results to the tournament organizer via private message).
Fanfare: tournament organizer unveil the masks and announce the overall points for each team, the team with more points advances.
In case of real life emergency i can guarantee only one day of extension to announced deadline, all rounds will include weekends so if you got opponent from far away from your time zone you will always have a chance to meet him.
You should contact with opponent to schedule your matches as soon as your Heralds will finish setup the pairs (tournament organizer can make a rough decision not in favor of people who avoid their opponents or try to play "extremely busyness").
Any TO decisions are final. Any excessive complaining will result in muting in tourney chats and potentially a DQ. Any attempts to go around the TO to get a decision overturned is an immediate DQ. Just have fun and follow the rules and there will be no problems.
