Welcome Back! This is an elite tournament for Casual Leagues Only! And we're looking for the best of the best. If you meet the eligibility requirements, you're free to sign up.

Requirements to sign up for the tournament:

#1 - You must be a casual league team.
#2 - You must be an Uncapped , Elite , Pro , or AAA team only.

This will be a 16 team "Bracket" format tournament. We will expand to 32 if the need calls for it. The seeding will be decided by tournament staff by Season 14 performance. Then will be placed into a Double Elimination Tournament.

============================================================================================================
MUST READ BELOW. YOU HAVE TO READ BELOW. DON'T SAY TL;DR! READ THIS BELOW! NO EXCUSES! READ IT!
============================================================================================================

The tournament rules are simple - failure to meet them, however, will result in forfeiture. No second chances. Period.

- Matches will be scheduled for you by the GLB Tournament staff
- If a GM signs a team up, verification will be made with Owner
- A PM will be sent to owner upon signup to verify T.O.C. of the Casual Addicts Tournament.
- You must NOT schedule any other scrims on Addict Tournament days - This could result in forfeiture
- Each match will cost the team owner 25 Flex Points
- If you schedule a scrim thinking its part of the tournament, IT IS NOT. We are scheduling the scrimmages.
- Once a match is scheduled, it cannot be unscheduled, and there are no Flex Point refunds

By signing up for this tournament, you accept these terms.
Matches that are scheduled will cost each team owner 25 flex and no refunds are given.
If you schedule a match on your own and a staff member schedules a duplicate match,
the match you scheduled will not count nor will you recieve a refund. Tournament schedulers
are the only ones that should be scheduling matches. Matches for each round will be scheduled the day
following the previous round (Day 3 for the first round). Should you decide to drop out, you must notify the
tournament organizer. If you decide to opt out after matches have been scheduled, no Flex Point refund will
be awarded. Should you decide to retract your opting out, you must notify the tournament organizer BEFORE
the next game is simulated that you have decided to stay in. If you win your match, but no retraction to your
opting out had been sent, you will forfeit that win.


Schedule of Games - These are subject to change due to new scheduling system.

***PLEASE DO NOT SCHEDULE ANY SCRIMS ON THESE DAYS***

DO NOT SCHEDULE AHEAD OF TIME! WE WILL DO OUR BEST NOT TO DOUBLE SCHEDULE BUT THIS IS UP TO YOU TO FOLLOW THE RULES!

Tournament Rounds

TBD.

Failure to meet one of the above rules will result in forfeiture of your game. If both teams do not follow rules they will both be eliminated and prospective challenging team in the next round will advance automatically.

============================================================================================================

Prizes are as follows (amount is subject to change, Prize Pool Format):

Prize Pool: 30% of all Addict Funds Raised (Last season 30k was raised)

1st place - 45% of Prize Pool + GOLD Trophy
2nd place - 30% of Prize Pool + SILVER Trophy
3rd place - 15% of Prize Pool + BRONZE Trophy
Tournament MVP (chosen by the Addicts organizers) - 10% of Prize Pool + MVP Trophy

FAQ
======

Who sponsors / organizes this tournament?

The Addicts Tournament is sponsored by the Addicts Community and sanctioned by GLB. All winnings are paid by Addict Members.

Who is eligible to play in the tournament?

The tournament field is selected by public announcement and sign up period. You want to be the best, you have to put yourself out there.

Uncapped & Elite Casual teams are able to register within the signup period. But it is first come first serve for the higher leagued teams.

What are the prizes?

First place gets 45% of Prize Pool from the tourney organizers and an official Gold trophy for being the Addict Tourney Champs. Second place gets 30% of Prize Pool and a Silver trophy. Third place gets 15% of Prize Pool and a Bronze trophy. The MVP get 10% of Prize Pool and a trophy for their profile page.

What is the Prize Pool?

In previous seasons we would raise money to meet a total of 20,000 flex to be paid out. 30.00% of the prize pool went to the casual tournament while the remaining of the pool went to the bracket challenge and main tournament. This will continue but this time there will be no cap on the funds that are raised. The official prize pool will be calculated as such:
Prize Pool = (Total Flex Raised) - (MVP Flex) - (Bracket Challenge Flex) - (Addicts Tournament)

What is the format?

The Casual League Addicts Tournament is based on a “Bracket” format. The 16 teams are seeded by tournament staff and will be play in a double elminiation tournament.

What are the tiebreakers?

If, at the end of the group round, two teams are tied in their group standings, the result of their head-to-head match will be the tiebreaker. If three teams are tied, cumulative points differential is the tiebreaker. Once in the bracket, if a game ends in a tie, total yards gained will be the tiebreaker.

Are there scheduling guidelines / deadlines?

No there are not. This tournament is fully ran by the staff. Your games will be scheduled for you on the designated days assigned. Please refer to the Tournament signup for scheduled days. If you schedule your team in a game and the staff schedules one as well, your scheduled scrim will not count and you will not receive a refund of flex.

Considering there is no "Uncapped" this season and there's now an AA, I'd think your Hoosiers would be eligible, middawg.

Forthcoming as I said, please stay on topic and for the Nth time, Stobie & myself apologize for the excessive delays.

Why did you choose to post here rather than PMing? I do not appreciate that at all, and I'm sure Stobie won't either. We're doing this on a purely voluntary basis, with donated flex from the Addicts, so there's something to be said for common courtesy of PMing rather than attempting a black eye in public like this.

I didn't question Stobie AT ALL Gman.....don't put words in my mouth please. I question whoever agent Tournament is for starting another one when we haven't been informed of a single update from last season yet. I have talked to Stobie via PM's thank-you very much and he's having RL personal issues.... thats1000% fine. This new one could have waited til the other tourny has been put to bed imo......and thats my opinion, not critizism, not rant, not whine, big difference.
