The February T3 ACR Tournament registration complete

Well, it’s that time of the month again. No, not the time of month when touching a woman is punishable by stoning. The time when doing anything is punishable by brutal, Templar-infllicted death in Assassin’s Creed Revelations!

If last month’s tournament is any indication, competition will be fierce, and this time we’re having 84 players compete for top honors. That means your odds of winning are much lower, but it also means your odds of looking like a badass while winning are a lot higher.

Tournament format and schedule

• The tournament will consist of twelve (12) qualifying brackets and one (1) finals bracket.
• Players in the qualifying brackets will play one round of Assassinate.
• Player scores will be recorded between all matches. All but the one (1) best-scoring player from each bracket will be dropped, leaving twelve (12). The five (5) lowest-scoring players of these players will be dropped, and seven (7) players will advance to the finals bracket.
• In the event of a qualifying round tie, a tie-breaker round of Simple Deathmatch may be played.
• Finalists will play one round each of Wanted, Deathmatch, and Steal the Artifact.

Below are the times each qualifying bracket will be held. Registrants must be available for one or more brackets in order to sign up. All times are United States Eastern (GMT -5:00).

• Bracket A: Tuesday February 21st, 7:00 pm to 7:15 pm
• Bracket B: Tuesday February 21st, 7:30 pm to 7:45 pm

The final bracket will be scheduled to meet the needs of as many qualifying players as possible, within reason. Players who cannot participate will, unfortunately, be dropped. No substitutions will be made for empty finalist spots, except in the event of a tie.
