Teams can sign up by posting their roster with a battletag in this thread. Rosters can be changed until 5:30pm on the day of the tournament.

Format:
The winning team from the previous week will play against the other teams in attendance at 6:00pm in a series of bo3 matches until they are defeated or the $25 prize limit has been reached. Teams will challenge the defending champions in an order determined by dice rolls, and if victorious they take their place. The defending champions must be the same two players from the previous week, if they can't attend a dice roll will determine who takes their place. If there are less than 3 teams the tournament will be cancelled for the week but the previous week's champions will retain their rank.

Team Comp Rules:
Limit of 1 per class, no double healers, no double stealth

Rules are subject to change, if you have suggestions please post them.

Tournament Rules:
Don't violate Blizzard's ToS. If you think something might get you DQ'd it probably will. If you're unsure ask in this thread.

Are healers not banned? I'm not sure how much fun playing disc/dps vs disc/dps is going to be lmao. Blizzard banned healers from 2s for a reason.

Healers aren't banned from twos ... Idk why people keep saying this. I was just in a 2s game not that long ago with a healer.
 
You actually cant allow a healer. Unless you ban disc. Which is really dumb. I would prefer no healers tbh.
If you allow a healer, everyone will pick disc. You would have to be braindead not to. It has the highest dps of all 4 healing specs. It ALSO is the only healing spec that can cast from multiple schools. Which means a rogue cant kill it in twos, because if you lock it on shadow mend, it spams plea and 5 second bubble. There are no more offensive dispels. Literally nothing will die. Games will just go into ages of dampening if its priest/dps vs priest dps. You cant run double dps to beat it. If you run double dps, all the disc has to do is queue with a ret pally, hoj one dps on opener, fear out of the trinket, gg. You cant CC the priest. Plea while moving and penance around pillars are going to make it very hard to land a sheep or fear on a competent disc.
If healers are allowed, every game will be disc priest/ret pally vs disc priest/ret pally. Nothing can beat that comp. Hoj into fear on healer, gg. If they trinket first hoj, fear anyway, you probably get kill. If for some reason you dont, afk for a minute. The priest wont die due to pally offheals, if you CC priest pally has bubble and selfheals. Then you just land the kill a minute later with hoj > fear.
Please ban healers.
 
Sounds interesting! Nice concept

Does the tournament end when the defending team is defeated?
 
Nice, I like the simplicity, glad to see you getting back into the action, we need more events going on!

I don't see why healers shouldn't be allowed in tournament-style play. Maybe that's just me.

Indeed, after all healers are allowed in real rated 2v2's
 
Do you now realize how broken ret/disc is? There will be no diversity. None.
Also, arena rating is an awful way to pick the teams participating. Rating at 19 means literally nothing. It didnt mean much before, but that was when xpoff and xpon were separate brackets. With xpoff and xpon merged, 19 arena rating now shows who farms more random levelers for more hours. Why is that a thing?

Well the seeding in this tournament shouldn't matter too much anyway

The winning team from the previous week will face the TWO most highly rated teams in attendance at 5:45pm in a series of Bo5 matches.

A team's rating is determined by adding the lower rated player's rating to 1/2 of the higher rated player's.

Can you tell me how it works first; does the tournament end when the defending champions are defeated? Or does the defeaters just take their spot and fight the remaining teams?
