Do all players have to be from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania or players from other countries could be included in the teams as well? http://forum.worldof...mile_unsure.gif
I understand that there could be some problems attending the LAN part of the play-offs but I'd still like to know if it's allowed...

Will the games be set up using the special battle system?

We understand that some Estonian, Lithuanian or Latvian players can be abroad and wants to participate in tournaments. If the team have maximum 10 players (7 line up + 3 reserves) so in the match line up you must have 4 connections from Batics IPs and 3 connections can be from abroad. From what country is IP we can check in the server logs.

For all tournament games will be a referee, he will create battle rooms and invites teams for the battle. Tournament rules and additional info will be advised when sign up will be opened.

[Mikk36]

Training rooms created by referees? I guess that's fine as well, as long as their as hard on the rules as an automatic system would be

Wow, congratulations, awesomely done!http://forum.worldof...Smile_great.gif


But I have a couple of questions about the finals. Firstly, how is it possible that EES lost 0 - 2 to Briedziai in the Winners Final and then got to another final (Grand Final) against the same team? Secondly, how the hell did we win the 3rd place match against BPZ2 if we won the tournament?? Here's the link: http://balticleague....eu/tournament/1 . Go to Playoffs http://forum.worldof...mile-bajan2.gif

We lost in the Winners final and then went against the BZP2 in which 3rd place was decided. 3rd place went to BZP2 and winners (we) went to the grand final (1STLT Vs. EES). Winners final was to decide which team fights for the 3rd place and who will go straight to the grand final. (I hope i managed to explain it)

(The games went like this: Winners final - 3rd place final - grand final )

Oh mine, what a strange system! But yes, I think I understand now.

However, in the normal world (read: most sports competitions) we would have been 2nd as those who win the semi-final advance to the final; who wins the final is winner and who loses runner-up. Also in the normal world it would have been enough for BPZ2 to beat Aa to get the 3rd and they wouldn't have had any chance to get to the final after losing in semi-final. But at the end of the day it's all good for us (or we would have been 2nd) ! http://forum.worldof...mile_blinky.gif

Actually this system is quite simple, i also had a hard time understanding it, but now it seems really easy and clear

The system, when the looser have a chance to win is Double Elimination. Hope, this article will make it more clear
