      Welcome to the Group Stage for the 2021 Spring Invitational. This stage will be made up with 4 groups of 4 players each. Games will be played round robin style with each player in a group playing each other player in a BO3. The top 2 players in each group will advance to the finals.

      Date: March 20th
      Start Time: 14:00 UTC
      Chat: /join #spring
      Challonge: https://challonge.com/2itfd9d6
      Tournament Directors:
      Overall: Swkoll
      Group A TD: Angelofd347h
      Group B TD: Angelofd347h
      Group C TD: Moose
      Group D TD: Moose

      Maps:
      There is a pool of 10 maps and maps will be selected using a veto and pick system. This means each player has 2 vetos, with the lower seed in the group vetoing first in an alternating pattern.(ie lower seed, upper seed, lower seed, upper seed). Next the higher seed will select the first map, the lower seed the second map, and if necessary the higher seed will select the third map. 5 of the maps are the same for each group and 5 maps are different for each group.

      We will be using the same faction veto system as used in LoTS. After a map is picked, both players will secretly send 2 factions, in order of preference, that they would like to play, and 1 faction they would like to veto to their group's Tournament Director.

      To clarify map picking and faction veto:

      1. Figure out which maps are in your group, they are the 5 "All" maps and the 5 maps specific to your group.
      2. Lower seed (as shown by the position in the group) vetos first map
      3. Higher seed vetos next map
      4. Lower seed uses last veto
      5. Higher seed uses last veto
      6. Higher seed then picks the first map to play from the list of maps in the pool that have not been vetoed
      7. Players send 2 factions that they would like to play and 1 veto to their group's TD
      8. Lower seed picks the second map following the same rules
      9. Players send 2 factions that they would like to play and 1 veto to their group's TD
      10. In the event of a tie, higher seed picks the tie breaker map
      11. Players send 2 factions that they would like to play and 1 veto to their group's TD
      12. The winner reports the results (including losses and tie games) to their group's tournament director in the #spring channel

      Map Pool:
      f78549ba-ea71-4263-9f28-2e46919d0fa7-image.png

      Map Generator:
      If a player chooses the map generator players will play on the first map generated with these settings:

      Generation Type: Tournament
      Number of Spawns: 2

      If there is a draw, the same map should be used instead of generating a new one. For the purposes of map vetoing, players will veto the use of the map generator for a certain map size, not a specific map it generates. If a player vetos map gen 20x20s, no 20x20 map gen maps can be used.

      Players:

        I have a question. the three of us knocked out the losers at one stage in the grid (kite, Lucied, demonstreamer) , how is it calculated which of the three of us will get into the group stage?

              Ties are broken based on ladder rating when you sign up for the tournament,
              Wifi 1688
              demonstreamer666 1511
              Lucied 1384
              kite 1376

              That said, in the Fall Invitational the 3rd substitute from the Qualifier was needed for the Group Stage, so there is a decent chance that a substitute will be needed.

                          Aeon: 16%
                          Cybran 11%
                          Seraphim: 43%
                          UEF: 30%

                          Player successfully vetoed their opponent's 1st pick 40% of the time. Shout out to boom, who successfully vetoed 5 out 6 1st picks correctly which was the best ratio from any player who played at least 6 games.

                          Thanks to Angelofd347h and Moose for helping out with tournament directing the group stage and to TheDuelist for cocasting the Group Stage with me.

                              Players who are advancing should also send me a map to include in the finals bracket with 48 hours.
