ACL Community: Halo 3 Online Round 4

Sharpen those Battle Rifles, polish those Sniper Rifle scopes, ACL Halo 3 Online Round 4 is here!

With less than three months to go before ACL Brisbane, this is a great chance to earn valuable circuit points which will help to improve your seed for the final LAN of the 2010 season! This tournament is crucial for those teams who find themselves in the middle echelons of the 2010 circuit rankings. A solid performance here may be enough to bump you up to the Pro bracket, meaning you will avoid having to fight your way out of the Open bracket.

What

The ACL online tournaments serve as a great way for teams to secure ranking points, which will then gain them a better seed at LAN events.

The higher you place, the more points you earn. Each player receives the same amount of points as the rest of their team mates (dependent on their placings), so if a player wishes to go and form another team for the next event, they will carry over their own individual score.

When

Friday 7pm AEST: Open Pool Play
Saturday 12pm AEST: Open Double Elim, Pro Pool Play
Sunday 12pm AEST: Pro Double Elim

Remember, if you are a pro team, you MUST compete in Pro Pool Play on Saturday.

Structure

Pool Play - Best of 3 Series

Each Pool will have (tba) teams. This is dependent on numbers and could change.
Each series MUST play ALL 3 games.

There is only one round of Pool Play. This means you will only play teams inside your pool before this stage of the competition ends. Upon completion of Pool Play you will either be knocked out or progress to the next stage. The reason you are playing all 3 games in a series is to better determine win/loss ratios. Your team may be required to play a tiebreaker game to determine seed for the next stage.

Double Elimination - Best of 5 Series

Each team does NOT need to play all 5 games if a result occurs after 3 games. Lose one series to enter the Losers Bracket. Lose another series and you will enter Placement Rounds. Placement Rounds will then determine Overall Points for your placing in the top 16.

Rules & Settings

The tournament will be using the latest MLG maps and gametypes (Version 8).

It is up to all teams to ensure that at least one member has all of the gametypes available to play.

Gametypes can be downloaded here from the MLG Gametypes account on Bungie.net
