SIGN UP HERE (but also read the rules!)

It is time again for another Draft Tournament! This tournament will be mostly the same, with a few things that we are changing this time around to include more people, and make the teams that little bit fairer. We have had very successful tournaments in the past and we are looking to improve on this with every tournament we run.

We know these times are bordering on ridiculous for the Americans, but if you do sign up, the teams will not be smaller than 8, so you may not have to stay for all the games.

The changes are as follows:


Now open to US/SEA NS2 players!
There will be an extra team grading process after the draft night for fairness.
AusNS2.org Forum Signup is mandatory.


We invite you all to tell any NS2 players, new or old, if they are interested in the competitive scene at all that this is where to start! Feel free to advertise in game to players that you think might be interested in a competition like this as there could not be a better time to get into this game!

Draft Date:
6:00 PM AEST Thursday 12th June 2014

Tournament Dates:
Sunday 15th June 2014 and Sunday 22nd June 2014

To signup for the Draft Tournament, fill out the form below and you will be added to the pool of players. On the Draft Night, team leaders will pick players from that pool and teams will be formed to play in a 2 day tournament over 2 Sundays. Teams will be reviewed by the admins for fairness based on player skill as dictated by the signup forms and our personal but objective discretion.

The team with the most round wins, wins the tournament.

The score and bracket for the tournament will be hosted by challonge.com.

5. AusNS2.org Forum Signup is mandatory for contact, information delivery and rewards.
6. All other League Rules apply before, during and after matches.

I dunno why but like half the links aren't working for me. Which is odd because they look like they should work in the Quote Reply button! D: But yay, draft tournament!

Pretty curious to see what gonna happen, anyway, that's a great idea like the previous one. And open the tournament to the NA teams will be I hope a very exciting & thrilling competition!

Good luck for all participating teams!

Hmm that is strange, I already noticed a few differences in the bbcode between the sites, but i'll try to get them working.

Ok, I can't figure out why this BBcode isn't working. :-(

What BBcode? Everything is working for me...

All the links redirect back to ensl. *shrug*

I know that the thread ordering in the forums is also messed up, so maybe it's something that reared its ugly head after the site update? I have no idea how that could have been broken, though. The tiny.cc URL is the only one that actually works, too, so... Weird.

I edited your message Seb. You don't have to use quotation marks actually. Seems to work now.

Ah ok, cheers mate!

About 1 1/2 hours until the Draft! If you are signed up, try to make it to the AusNS2.org mumble then! If you haven't signed up yet, remember, its open to AUS, NNZ, SEA and US players, and it is definitely not too late to sign up!
