Notes & Updates from the ADA Nightly Tournament Directors

“The ADA suggests all teams to reboot their boards 1 minute before all event start times.  This procedure will ensure the tournament will upload to the respective board(s) requested to play on.  This normally it takes 3-4 minutes for the event to “automatically” update and show on a board, determined by locations internet speed.  Manually restarting / rebooting your boards at the event start time usually speeds up this upload.”

“Due to numerous locations participating in these online events, this may cause some board sharing and players may encounter a 30 to 60 minute delay in-between match.  The Tournament directors will do their best to move the tournament along but are limited with the programming available at this time.”

“Tournament Directors watch the brackets for teams signing in, and can tell if they are not signed in.  Sometimes the programming does not pick up on both teams signed in and moves a team forward.  If the tournament director sees this happen, they will automatically reset the match.  Message the tournament director immediately if this happens to your team.”

“Players patience, and being respectable to the other players and the tournament directors, is a requirement if you decide to play in events offered by the ADA.  Tournament directors have the authority to request player, teams and locations being suspended from playing in these tournaments and also future ADA events.”

“If there are more than 8 Entries, we split the levels into 2 brackets, so if there are 18 entries in Level 1, we will split Level 1 into Level 1A and 2A with 9 in each level. The programming only offers 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 player brackets. Going over a 16 player bracket has in the past made the tournaments last too long and the tournaments were ending after 2:00 am CST.”

“The ADA does not control the closing times of the teams that enter in the tournaments. “If your location closes before the event is over and your team cannot continue, your team will be forfeited out of the tournament.”

Nightly ADA Tournament Directors have the authority to supersede any tournament, event, situation, member issue before, during and/or after the event to ensure the Tournament(s) go smoothly and professionally.
