**EDIT** TOURNAMENT HAS ENDED!! Check out our newest tournament: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654348070564125/ [battlelog.battlefield.com]


My website, playtowingaming.com, has created a 4x4 Squad Rush Tournament. I'm going to link a video that I made that goes over all of the tournament details, but just know that it's official start date is near May 2nd (not confirmed and most likely will be pushed back a week), and it's geared to be flexible with all schedules. Before I get in too deep, when forming a squad, it's going to be best to choose your teammates based on their schedules of playing. Try to pick people who are typically playing during your normal playing times.

Rather than choosing one date and time, which can make the tournament unplayable to many people, what we're doing is making the Squad Leader's of each team communicate together via PSN to figure out a day and time that works best for them once they figure out who it is their up against. You have 3 days to complete your matches which is what makes things flexible. It's easier to get 8 people together for a match than EVERYONE and that's why I chose to go this direction.

The Map selection will be randomly selected at the time the tournament actually starts. This is to avoid any unfair advantages of teams getting in practice for the first round. The format is simple...4x4 Squad Rush on the selected map in our hosted server. The Attacking team get's 1 point for each M-Comm that get's destroyed, Defending teams don't earn any points. After the first match, teams switch sides and try to out-perform the previous Attacking team. Regardless what the score is for both matches, make a note of the match duration...it's the deciding criteria for a tie-breaker situation. Should both teams tie (either going 0-0, 3-3, or both Attacking teams take all the M-Comm's) the team that had the quickest time get's to choose whether they want to Attack or Defend for the final match. For the Attacking team to win, they MUST take out all M-Comm's, otherwise the win goes to the Defending team. This format benefits the team that performs the best on either side. Attack swift and get your points...or hold your ground and take away all their tickets...being proficient in both areas is key!

Everyone is welcome to play...please share this information to anyone you think might be interested in playing. Also know that as soon as this tournament ends, a new one will be scheduled. There WILL be plenty of future events!!

One last thing...it would make things easier for both you guys and me if we utilized the event's Facebook page simply because it's easier accessed and more instant than putting everything here. Don't get me wrong, please use this thread too...especially if you opt not to use Facebook, but if you do use Facebook:

We have a dedicated bOh clan server running 24/7 your welcome to use for some of the matches, it may help for some of the time differences.

Do you want our psn names or battle log names?

Also, if people don't make it into the May 9th start date, no worries. The next tournament will start a week after this one finishes and so forth. Also all participants and squads are ALL automatically entered in the follow-up tournament, so no additional sign-ups will be required. The only thing you'll need to tell me is IF you don't want to play anymore OR if you switch to another team.

The goal is for participants to have an understanding of the tourney to help explain it to their friends and help it grow. Even if the tournament is already started, don't feel like you can't spread the word because sign-ups are always going to be allowed and they'll automatically be entered in the subsequent tournaments...which are typically only going to be a week apart from each other.

Sorry about the delay's guys...been out of town.

The best way to sign up is through the group's facebook page...but an alternate way (just because of how last minute this will be) is to send me a psn message x1MrAwesome1x with your Clan Tags and the PSN ID"s for you and your 3 other squad member's so that I can put them into the bracket.

Ultimately the best is to be a part of the facebook group because that's where all the details get's put into first which includes the bracket, server settings and map selection. It's just the easiest for me to connect everyone to that also works the best for me when I'm not gaming or near a computer.

IF YOU MESSAGE ME TODAY ONLY ABOUT JOINING THE TOURNAMENT, I WILL PUT YOU IN! I'VE HAD A FEW LAST MINUTE ENTRIES AND SO I'M REDOING THE BRACKET TOMORROW...LAST CHANCE OTHERWISE YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT ONE.

Current Bracket:
