TPA4 Changes
- First and foremost, the Tournament Directors are taking over the TPA this year and for the future. This is good for all who love to play in the TPA because it ensures TPA will be around no matter what happens!
- This is also good, because we're going to be giving away more prizes than in the past! Prizes to be given away are as follows:
- All top 10 finishers will receive a General Achievement Medal
- All top 5 finishers will also recieve credits equivalent to the following amounts of Premium membership:
- 1st Place: 2 years
- 2nd Place: 1 year
- 3rd Place: 6 months
- 4th and 5th Place: 3 months each
- Additionally, a General Achievement Medal will be awarded to any player who participates in and receives TPA points for ALL 36 TPA4 tournaments
- We are running a few less tournaments this year than in the past. We still have 36 tournaments, but a little lower number lets hopefully lets everyone get a little break in the summer.
- With the TD's taking over, we'll have three of us working on the event this year. If you are a TO and want to help us by running a tournament, please contact mcshanester29. He is in charge of setting up the tournament schedule.

Tournament Types and Breakdown
We are trying to ensure diversity in tournaments, so we will try to make sure that we have a variety of tournament types. Here is what we're striving for:
Premier tournaments have between 51 and 99 planned games/player eliminations.
Standard tournaments have between 30 and 50 planned games/player eliminations.
Should any tournament not meet the planned number of players joining it, I will either reclassify it or allow it to run as was originally planned. The CC player minimum number restrictions must always be met of course.
- 3 Mixed
3 Quads
3 Trips
3 Doubles
3 Assassin
3 Terminator
6 1v1
6 Standard
2 Trench
2 Speed
2 Random Map

Scoring System
Major games will have 2,000 points for 1st place; Premier, 1,000 points and Standard, 500 points.
For all other places, the number of points earned (P) will be determined by the following formula which includes the number of players/teams (n) and the player's position (x). Points will be rounded down.
For Major tournaments
If n>128: P = 2000n/128x
If n<128 or n=128: 2000/x
For Premier tournaments
If n>64: P = 1000n/64x
If n<64 or n=64: 1000/x
For Standard tournaments
If n>32: P = 500n/32x
If n<32 or n=32: 500/x
On completion of their tournament, organizers should just provide the finishing order and the above points will be calculated as part of the master scoreboard updating.

Sanctioning
To be sanctioned as a TPA event, tournaments must:
- Follow all CC tournament requirements;
- Have no point restrictions (although it may require a premium membership);
- Have an organizer who has successfully run previous CC tournaments, is committed to running this one through and has not been replaced as a TO for any tournament during the preceding 12 months;
- Allow for at least 32 players (singles) or 16 teams (doubles) or 8 teams (triples/quad);
- TO agrees not to send to any sort of "list" for the first 48 hours of sign ups to allow all players fair entry;
- TO's agree that for all sanctioned events that players will be accepted in the order in which they sign up regardless of all banned lists that a particular TO may have.
- TO's agree not to publish their tournament before before the date specified, which will always be a Monday.
Joining Tournaments
To join any tournament, all players must sign up in the usual manner.
Players do not have to join all the tournaments, as only 24 of the 36 will count for scoring.
