Welcome to the STK-SuperTournament!

The next supertournament is played in January but the qualification round already starts at 2020-12-21. Playing the qualification rounds is necessary for the team formation. If you dont play the qualification round you can only participate if some players are needed to fill up teams. If you plan to play as substitute please also play the qualification round to get a ranking which make us able to decide if the substitution is balanced or not.

The next STK-Supertournament is taking place between January 1st and January 28th, 2020. Note that the qualification for the teams already starts at December 21th!

This tournament is for everyone, but especially pro players are very welcome to join.

In order to participate, type /join on the server "STK Supertournament".

In order to edit your time poll (see below "6. Time poll"), just run /ican [time] on the server "STK Supertournament". The time has to be given in a certain format. For example mo16 means Monday 16 UTC, 17 means 17 UTC on all days, weekdays18 means 18 UTC on weekdays, weekends means on weekends on any time, we means on Wednesdays at any time, all means at any time. With the command /icant [time] you can remove times you already chose with /ican [time]. If you have specific days on which you can't play, tell organizers, e.g. via Discord.

To create fair teams, a qualification is played which starts at December 21st. The qualification consists of two qualification rounds. In the first round all participants play 1 vs 1 matches in Swiss System Style against each other. There are 6 possible qualification times with a duration of 1 hour each in which 3 rounds of Swiss System are played. Each player has to play on 2 of these times and is told before on which times he should or can play depending on the time poll. If you miss a qualification day you will get a yellow card. Please tell us as 24 hours before if you cannot play because we have to know how many players will come.

Each player who played at two 1 vs 1 qualification times is allowed to play in the 2 vs 2 qualification round. The teams of the 2 vs 2 round are created with respect to the 1 vs 1 results (as explained above). Note that you should take the kart in the qualification which you plan to use mostly in tournament. If a player misses a 2 vs 2 qualification time he is substituted by a player with a similar 1vs1 ranking (defined above). If such a substitution is not possible the team is switched to a later qualification day. If not possible an alt tries to immitate the playstyle of the missing player as best as possible. Of course missing the match will lead to a yellow card again if not said 24h before. The results of the 2vs2 qualification round finally lead to the resulting teams (in a way of above).

Teams are created by filling up the best ranked 2 vs 2 teams with the players of the less ranked 2 vs 2 teams. If players are needed to fill up the teams, any player, even if not played any qualification game, can be used to fill up the weakest teams. If no player can be found, alts are used to fill up the teams.

This tournament is played with substitutes. If your timetable changes and you know you cannot come to a match, please tell it 24 hours before the match starts so the match can be rescheduled. If not all participants are there a yellow card will be shown to missing players if not told 24 hours before. The preferred way is then to replace the missing players with substitutes with a similar rank (see section 7.2 for definition) in the 1vs1 ranking. In case no suitable substitutes could be found, it will be checked if there are balanced constellations for 2 vs 2 or also 2 vs 3. If nothing else is possible, the game is rescheduled. If all players of both teams want to reschedule the match because a very strong player is missing, they can ask the organizers to do so. If a suitable time is found it is possible to reschedule the match. This should only be done on rare occasions, for example when the balance changes very much because of the missing player.

It is allowed to play with alternative accounts (alts) in the tournament in case they are not playing with the same kart. Note that an alt also has to play the qualification matches. Note that it is also necessary to communicate 24h before to not be able to play in case two alts play against each other.

Each match includes five games, all played with 7 minutes time limit. The first game is played on Icy Soccer Field, the second one on an addon chosen by the first team, the third one on Soccer Field, Las Dunas or Tournament Field (voted by all playing players), the fourth one is played on an addon chosen by the second team and the fifth on SuperTournament Field. Each addon can only be chosen once in the whole tournament, so in total 42 addons are played. There are 27 "normal addons" and 15 texture mods to choose.
