Just a rough draft of the rules. Please comment on any potential issues and fixes for said issues if you see them.
Introduction
(make up stuff later)
Requirements for joining the tourney
- Skype for easy contacting and match setups
- Gyazo or Puush for fast screenshotting (will explain why this is necessarily below)
- About an hour on each match day
Rules
Cheating is forbidden. Players caught cheating will be automatically disqualified.
A screenshot taken with Gyazo or Puush after the game completes must be sent to me within one minute of game completion. Otherwise the integrity of the game can be compromised.
Kicking is discouraged in almost every case. If the timer finishes, please give the player some leeway. If they do not finish their turn, message me on Skype and I will authorize the kick. Otherwise, the kick will be illegal and warrant punishment on you.
Failure to show up will result in a disqualification. This includes rage quitting.
Overall Format
- The tournament will be held with 5 letter Jotto
- The tournament will be a two-stage, single elimination setup
Group Stages Format
- 16 (or a larger multiple of 4) players will be randomly sorted into 4 groups for the Groups Stage
- Each group will play a Best of 2 Round Robin
- The Top 2 players from each groups, based on points, will advance into the Brackets Stage
- The winner of each 2 game match will get 1 point
- The loser of each 2 game match will get 0 points
- If the match results in a 1-1 tie, both players will receive 0.5 points
- If a tie occurs, a best of one tie breaker game will be organized
Bracket and Finals Stages Format
The matches for the Round of 8 and the Quarterfinals will be Best of 3's
The semifinals, finals, and 3rd place matches will be Best of 5's

So that's what I have right now. The idea is to open up the signups on the 27th or 28th and start the tourney after new years. Group stages can be finished in a day or two, Ro8 and QF can be done in the same day, and the final stages can be done on the same day as well, so a total of 3 days should be all that's needed for this.
