*GTT* - Grand Team Tournament

The Current Schedule
As we look for a decent balance between number of events, work we have to put in, timezone coverage, etc, the GTT schedule might be subject to some changes. Currently:

- Tuesday 9PM UK (Rylan)
- Saturday 9PM UK (Demian)

The name in parentheses indicates the admin responsible for the weekly occurance of the event. No name means the event can't be guaranteed. Direct any questions to the appropriate person.


The Past, the Present and the Future

The Grand Team Tournament is the oldest tournament on Mariokartwii.com. In June 2008 morgrif came up with the idea and it was forged into a tournament by morgrif, Demian and Chatt. Since then it has been active with two events (currently four) every week, its admins coming and going but the tournament never ending. The hard manual labour involved with its management was gradually replaced by powerful technological support, culminating in its current PHP/SQL Management system. Together with WCL it is now the biggest tournament for clans (and other teams). Participation in it will guarantee two competitive events every week, with a plethora of statistics being gathered (including an overal Battle Record). Right now, the end is nowhere near in sight, with new clans joining the battlefield every single event. The Leaderboard contains over 60 active clans, totalling over 300 individual players.

The Concept
The Grand Team Tournament pits 3 or 4 teams (of 3 racers each) together in one room, racing it out over 3 GPs of random voting. When the results are published, each team is given a new Team VR. This Team VR is very similar to the individual VRs gained through WW or Continental racing. Every team starts at 5000VR and climbs or drops as they play in an event. GTT relies heavily on technological aids, resulting in a very elegant management system (both for clans and admins) and the the collecting of various statistics that evaluate the skill of the participating teams.


Who Should Participate?
Every clan or team that wants to prove and/or know how they compare to others. More than one team can be entered per clan, would you have more than three people available to race in an event. If you have any questions, please contact one of the admins (listed below in this post, under Staff).



The biggest tournament yet based on Co-operative play!


VR Evolution Chart for the leaders (Xtreme Kill):

(Do you want your own Clan's VR Evolution Chart on your thread or website? It can easily be done. Ask Demian for a short explanation. Colour customisations are available. The picture changes dynamically, so no maintenance is required.)




There is an event every Wednesday & Saturday at 9PM UK

The GTT runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Basic Rules
Note: all paragraphs are treated as individual rules

- When you sign up to the GTT, you agree to the rules of the GTT and to the final descisions of the GTT organizers. This is a fundamental, although you have your right to give suggestions and complaints, please remember that this is a game where frustration is bound to happen.

- Each GTT session consists of 3 GPs. The maximum amount of teams within one player hosted room is 4. The minimum is 3 (any games played with 2 are considered as special cases if due to team troubles)

- The same clan can't be in the room twice. This means that co-operation in races between two teams is restricted. The lower ranked clan (or if the teams are merged, the secondary team) will be placed in the lower ranked room.

- Each vote in the GP must be RANDOM. If you are caught voting AND that track being selected, then your team is docked 30 GP points.

- The latest a room may start is 9:30. If the room starts at a later time then this, then clans are obliged to pull out of the room without any consequences to their current rating. However they will be marked as not participating in the event.

- At least 8 out of the 12 races must be evidenced in order for the room to be counted in the table calculations. If there are no photos within 48 hours after the event, the room will be deemed as invalid and scores will not be counted. It is everybody's responsibility to ensure that photos are taken.

- If a team does not show up for the GTT they are not penalized. If this is a continual occurance (10 consequective events unraced) they will be removed from the Leaderboard. Once they play a new event, they are inserted again with the VR they had before.

Disconnection rules
- If a racer disconnects before the first race begins, or during the early stages of a race (lap 2) then the host MUST restart the room. If this happens more than twice, then the host is NOT obliged to restart the room.

-If a racer disconnects at the end of the first race, then the room MUST continue. This is to weed out malicious disconnects for restarted rooms. If this does happen, then if a photo of the race results are provided, those race results WILL be included in the final score.

- If a racer disconnects during the second race, or the room is not restarted when they are disconnected in the first race, then they will be subsidised 10 points for that GP. As in the previous rule, the GP must be restarted if a racer DC's up to the second lap of the first race of that GP. This is to try and make up for those who do not get treated to the rule. Of course if you have a higher score than 10 by the second race and you have evidence of this, then your original score will be noted.

- If a host has to leave during a GP then the races that have raced will be counted if it is 8/12 races accounted for. The host that abandons the race will have their team docked 30 points. This is to make sure that hosts do not abandon the room in favour of their team.

Cheating and exploits
- Mario Kart wii glitches and exploits are not allowed - user orientated shortcuts (such as on Bowser Castle 3) are allowed. If somebody is caught cheating, then their team will automatically be last and the team will be docked 500 VR rating.

- Hacking or any form of artificial aid is not allowed - if somebody is caught cheating, then their team will automatically be seen as last due to that incident in the event and their team will be docked 1500 VR and will have a 5-GTT-event ban. The person who was hacking is banned from participating in any GTT events thenceforth unless a convincing appeal is made.

Partcipating in the GTT


If you wish to join the GTT, please follow the next few steps. GTT has an extensive technological management system, requiring registry.

1. Go to http://www.gamerselysia.com/index.ph...ainC=eventsGTT and Sign Up for the GTT there (or register to the forum first, if you haven't done so yet).
2. PM your desired team name to one of the GTT admins. Amongst others, currently these are Demian, Bone and jonc. Your team will be created and you'll be added as a manager to it, on the website.
3. Your members must also follow step 1. After they have done so, you can add them to your team. Go to the main website (see 1.) and click Teams. Find your team in the list and you'll be transported to your Team Management page. There is a field 'Add Member'.
4. To participate in an event, you must click the 'Yes' button at the top of your Team View. After that, you can select your three chosen racers. This data will be wiped after event.
