Harakiri Tiger Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 This topic contains a list of rules that potential tournament hosts must follow if they wish to attempt to get their tournament sanctioned for the ACU Arena. Simply adhering to these rules will not grant you a sanction, the tournament must also be checked for potential exploitation of the Arena. Remember, these are just the basic guidelines your tournament must follow to be qualified as a potential sanctioned tournament for the Arena. To get your tournament sanctioned, you must first make the topic for it on the forum with all of your pertinent tournament details available. Then, simply PM me with a request to sanction your tournament. Once you've received your sanction from me, you must update your tournament topic to notify the current participants of the sanction and allow for new participants to sign up. Registration for the tournament must be open for two weeks minimum after you have received your sanction. Note that the tournament's results will also be reviewed. If the turn out for the tournament is too small or it seems as though the rules were not enforced, the tournament's sanction will be revoked. If any other events occur during the tournament that may comprimise the validity of the Arena or attempt to exploit the Arena in any fashion, the tournament's sanction will be revoked. Tournament Host You must have at least one (1) referee, approved by Niji, oversee every round of the tournament.Your must make a topic for your tournament in the Tournaments section of ACU.Your tournament must have a description in its topic explaining the tournament's details.The description must contain the date and time of the tournament; if it spans multiple days, you must list each date and time.The description must contain information pertaining to the major form of communication that will be used during the tournament between players and referees.The description must contain detailed information on the format of the tournament.You must list which console or consoles the tournament will be held on.You must use Armored Core: for Answer under Regulation 1.40 for your tournament.You must have a minimum of sixteen (16) participants in your tournament.The tournament style must be 1v1 Elimination based.You may not have rounds that exceed a ten (10) minute time limit.You must allow the use of Auto-Sighting, Auto-Boost, and Auto-Purge.Participants must not be allowed to use more than three (3) schematics over the course of the tournament.You must list either the banned or the available maps in your tournament.You must adhere to the ACU part banlist for AC:fA.
