There's no rule against "scouting" in room tours.
Overview:
It's basically the same idea as Season 1, but here's a brief summary anyways for people new to this competition. Daily NU tournaments will be hosted every other month in the Neverused room on PS. These tournaments will be announced as official so no confusion occurs to if the tournament going on is "official", or not. The scheduled times will be posted below regardless but some people still don't understand the concept of a time zone.
Point System:
The first real change from Season 1 lies within the distribution of points. Quite a few users voiced their opinion on changing this system, so that's exactly what has been done. Saturday was a special day for this tournament as wins gave 3 points, rather than the usual 1 point, given on regular weekdays. To make the opportunity to gain 3 points more flexible with people being busy or away, one will earn 3 points on both Saturday and Sunday. Now it's more easy to just say, weekday wins = 1 point, while weekend wins = 3 points. Another complaint was to give points out to runner ups in tournaments, but that will remain unchanged. If you make it the finals and get "cheated" out of the win, life goes on. There will be plenty of more chances.
Point Ties:
Only change regarding tie breakers for this tournament, implying two or more users are tied with an equal amount of points at the end of a season, the winner will be determined through a best of 3 series, rather than just a single match.
Prizes:
The default reward for winning this competition is room voice in the Neverused room on PS. If you are already room voiced or global voiced, a custom reward will be determined based on your background.
Seasons:
Seasons will remain the same as they were set up last time around. Seasons will last an entire month, and then have the next season be delayed until the month following the next. For example, August(Season 1), September(Offseason), and then October(Season 2).
Daily Tournament Schedule:
Due to what became a regular occurrence of staff running the 1 PM EST tournament not following through with either starting the tournament or logging the results, both weekday tournaments will be taking place in the afternoon/evening for EST where I can have more control in making sure everything actually takes place as meant to. The weekend tournaments however will follow nearly the same schedule from last time.
Monday-Friday: 5 PM EST/GMT -4 and 8 PM EST/GMT -4
Saturday-Sunday: 2 PM EST/GMT -4 and 7 PM EST/GMT -4
