Hey guys,

This will be the official twink cup thread. I will start updating more as time goes by:

Rules 39 TC Committee has come up with so far, RULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. NEEDS TO BE TESTED BEFORE CONSIDERED FINAL!

$2300 USD donated towards the twink cup out of the $3000 target. Common guys, get your wallets out and lets donate!


Date:

Arena: TBA
BG's: TBA


Prize Distribution:

First place in the WSG tournament TBA
First place in the arena tournament: TBA


Format:

Teams will be seeded into the arena tournament based on the order that they submit their rosters. Teams will be seeded into the BG tournament based on their team's performance in the arena tournament. Teams are limited to a 15 man roster with 2 alternate characters per player. Players that have been included in your team's roster can be subbed in between games at any point in the BG tournament.


Team Comp Rules:

Arena: (Idea at this point)

General Rules:

  • Arena maps must be chosen randomly.
  • Format: Battleground games, are done by real double elimination - every game best of 5 - finals best of 7. If winning team loses in the first BO7, they will have to do another BO7 for decider.
  • Any teams that are 10 mins late for their games, automatically lose that game, So on and so forth.


Idea 1: Rules are as follows:

  • 1 Class Limit, 1 healer limit, 1 Hybrid DPS limit. 1 stealth limit (This includes all classes), Double DPS limit, Must have at least one healer class.
  • Any spec that has healing abilities that can be cast on their teammates counts as an hybrid dps, not including warlocks' health-stones.
  • (Ferals Banned)
  • (Brewmaster Banned)
  • Only 1 Melee is allowed per arena team and the following melee are:
  • Rogues: (All Specs)
    Warrior: (All Specs)
    Shaman: (Enhance)
    Paladin: (Ret-Prot)
    Monk: (Wind Walker)
    Hunter: (All Specs) - I know hunters aren't melee, but they have to be on this list.
    Druid: (Guardian)
  • Only 3 players per team, your not allowed to change class, spec or race. Only thing your allowed to change is Talents and Glyphs.


Idea 2: Rules are as follows:

  • Everyone has to run Priest (Holy or Disc)/Mage (Any Spec)/Rogue (Any Spec) but the rogue has to have 7.5k health unbuffed scaled, with fort that equals too 8250 minimum in games.


Battleground's

General BG Rules:

  • BG Queing Format is still being decided.
  • Format: Battleground games, are done by real double elimination - every game best of 3 - finals best of 5. If winning team loses in the first BO5, they will have to do another BO3 for decider.
  • Any teams that are 15 mins late for their games, automatically lose that game, So on and so forth.
  • Brewmaster banned
  • Feral druid banned
  • No more than two of any class. (Only 1 rogue/enhance allowed.)
  • Only 3 Melle allowed. Does not include hunters. Just up and close melee. The following are:
Rogues: (All Specs)
Warrior: (All Specs)
Shaman: (Enhance)
Paladin: (Ret-Prot)
Monk: (Wind Walker)
Druid: (Guardian)
Warsong Gulch/Twin Peaks:

  • No More than 2 stealthies. (FC druid does not count towards this)


Arathi Basin/Silvershard Mines:

  • No More than 3 stealthies


General Tournament Rules:

  • All Jumps are to be decided. A video will be made for what jumps are allowed, anything outside the video will be banned. If a player does a jump that is not allowed in the TC, will result in a automatic loss in that current game.
  • Teams must be logged in and ready to play 30 min before the start of their match.
  • Every team leader needs to add the spectators through either battle tag or email.
  • Teams must be willing to have their games spectated and streamed.
  • It is the player’s responsibility to ensure they have a secure connection.
  • If a player disconnects in the 30 seconds of gate opening then the game can be restarted. A restart can only happen once for each team per series unless the enemy team also agrees to a replay
  • Team names must not include profanity, racism, poor sportsmanship references (queue dodging), cheating references (flyhacking, DDoSing), the name of another person unless they are on your team
  • It is the responsibility of the team to have good sportsmanship and show respect to the tournament organizers. If a player is found harassing anyone involved in the tournament, they will have 2 warnings and on the third warning it will result in the removal of the re-offending player
  • In order to get the spectator ad-don working some simple rules must be followed. This includes, but is not limited to: Adding the specified people on real id (email), not battle tag, Going to a certain location in the game, Re-logging when requested
  • If it is found that a player is using third party software, abusing a bug or exploiting the game in any way then it will result in an immediate removal from the tournament. Has to have visual proof. Not by what people say via text or voice recordings.
  • Any attempt to deliberately throw a games or conspire to fix the outcome of a game before it is played will result in losing that series with the current team you are facing. Goes for both losing and winning team if involved. So as a example if that happens in winners bracket, both teams will automatically go to losers bracket. And if done in losers bracket, will be out of the tournament.
  • Players cannot use toys, guild banners, or any usable item that isn't equipped on their character except health-stones, soul-stones, bandages, and the pvp battle standard.
  • Green Whelp Armor, Swift boots are banned.
  • The Following Profession Items are allowed:
Minor Recombobulator
Major Recombobulator
Gnomish Death Ray
Red Whelp Gloves
Gem Studded Leather Belt
Figurine - Black Pearl Panther
Figurine - Jade Owl
Tome of Kings
Royal Guide to Escape Routes
  • Any item with on use or proc stats/cc ect, if they are not on the list above, are not allowed
  • All profession items with persistent effects are allowed (Such as Catseye Ultra Goggles/Green Lens ect...)
  • All grandfathered gear that can do any kind of CC is banned.
  • All grandfathered glyph's are banned.
  • Using the unstuck feature to kill yourself if you're not stuck or if you have intentionally made yourself stuck is an exploit. And will result in the team automatically losing that current match.
  • All weapon swapping is allowed.
  • No FC's are allowed to abuse the swim speed bug whilst holding the flag, all items glyphs and abilities which increase swim speed are banned for this reason. If seen intentionally doing so, the team will automatically lose the game.
  • No FC's are allowed to intentionally use Displacer Beast/Blink or any other speed increase abilities in-between stacks. As this temporarily free's up the movement speed for one whole stack on the FC. If seen happening more the once, will be questioned and potentially lose a game if found guilty.
  • EVEN IF A TEAM IS SUSPECTED OF BREAKING A RULE, BOTH SIDES HAVE TOO PLAY IT OUT AND AFTER THE VIDEO WILL BE ANALYSED AND A RULING WILL BE MADE.
  • Any rule broken will result in automatically losing that game.
  • Anything done outside these rules will be considered as breaking the rules and will lose that game.

2300+ Arena Master boomkin LF serious partners for the arena competition, contact me in-game @"Smittyboyy" Bleeding Hollow - Horde US, looking for other twink with recent 2200+ 3v3 exp. "I've been 2210 this season in 3s on my main 100" You can also leave comments below with ur spec/experience to be a potential canidate
 
Donated 200$.

Will be donating more in the future, as I promised Living to yolo2000$ that shit. <3

However I want to see other people contributing more first!
 
I have decided to donate $100 USD to the 39s 2015 Twinkcup for two reasons, I know its not much in comparison, I would give more if I could.

Livingforce - You are one of the coolest people I've met since I came back to retail two and a half years ago, you are a pillar of this community in every way. Before Myrm gave everyone a clean slate I advocated for you because; regardless of anything in the past you are an exceptional individual and I feel your personal value here is equal to or greater than your monetary contributions. When your appeal was being discussed I said I would take full responsibility for you and guaranteed that your value here would greatly exceed any possible harm, since this revival began you have shown that to be true, Ultimately getting you unbanned is one of the decisions as a community leader that I am most proud of getting behind, and today that is truer than ever. Thank you josh.

The Community - When an ant colony expands it happens when a few of the ants break off to create their own homes, when this happens a colony can then grow and become stronger. Yourself, Youbeezy, Boostz, and others are doing just that, and I pledge to help any serious large scale twink endeavors in any way that I can, for the growth of the entire XP-off community and the good of the people that have fun in it.


Oh yeah and josh, not sure if you've gotten your curse messages, sometimes you need to restart your client to get messages sent from people, this is an actual bug in the system but if you ever decide to join 19s again know that you have a seat with your name on it in a few committees, should you want it.

I know I might get some hate comments for saying this, so first of all, great initiative making this 39 twink cup, but when that's said, isn't it quite sad we live in a world where there has to be a pricepool to gather enough people to get a decent tournament going now days? I mean look at what happened to 19 right after the tournament, is it really only the money that drives people? I do know a lot of the people in GSC spoke about meeting up if they won, but a lot of us also spoke about just donating all the money back for another tournament. I just think its sad there has to be a pricepool for people to step up their A game...:/

I like to think for the dedicated twinks who participate for the most part it is more about the community than the money.

Doesn't seem that way.. Sadly. When every "major" tournament needs a huge pricepool and donations to survive

The NWL doesn't have a prize pool, just because one major event had that doesn't mean its necessary for all of them. Objectively speaking there is no doubt that it adds incentive and exposure.
 
And +1 for that, but it seems there also is quite a difference between the 2, sorry if mistaken.

They are similar in that they are major events but you are right they are very different in a lot of ways, however I don't think this negates what I've said.
 
Over all if you look at the activity of a bracket before and after a tournament of this scale is anounced it seems to me the activity is higher after . Can't wait to watch the tourney and see the benefits after :)

Exactly, 19s has benefited even after the TC, it may not be immediately apparent but without it you can bet 19s wouldn't be in the good place it currently is, I think that 39s has a good shot at that. I'm so hype for this.
