The captains will be confirmed once signups close.
The pick order will be:
Set 1: Lowest to highest (8-1)
Set 2: Lowest to highest (8-1)
Set 3: Lowest to highest (8-1)
Strydxr and potentially Sainse will be leading the draft for this weekend, and I will takeover during the week if it is not completed over the weekend.
The draft will take place on the FAF Discord, in the Seton's Summer Slam 2 channel, which is in the tournament section .
@DommyMommyDostya There will be 2 Seton's tournaments each year, Summer Slam and King of Seton's. King of Seton's will be hosted November which will likely have both King and Prince brackets. Summer Slam will be kept to 8 teams for the foreseeable future.
I would like to remind ALL players to include your discord username when signing up, thanks.

Due to chat bugs and network issues, all official communication on the days of the tournament will be via discord in the appropriate text channel in the #tournaments section. If you cannot communicate through discord then the FAF Client will be used as next best option.
This tournament will have a captains draft, in which the 8 highest rated players will choose 3 players to participate on their team. If you have been selected as a captain, please make sure we are able to reach out to you on discord.
The draft will take place on the 11th of July, 16 UTC onwards. It will take place in the #SetonsSummerSlam2 channel on the Official FAF Discord in the Tournaments section.
I would prefer to do it in one go and if captains would like to arrange a call date so that we could potentially stream the draft that would be great, I will contact all of the captains to see if this is possible once they have been selected.
Captains may pick any player, and no player is able to reject being drafted. If the player does not wish to play with who they have been drafted with, they will withdraw from the tournament.
The draft format will be determined once the signups have closed.
A simple double elimination bracket, with all the games being BO1 until the Grand Final.

We are having issues with the google spreadsheet at the moment, so everything(mappool and finals bracket) probably won't be uploaded until tomorrow, so please bear with us. As for the map veto rules, this will also be uploaded alongside everything else.
If you guys need anything or have any questions, as always just @ me in discord

I am happy to announce that all of the first round matchups have now been decided!
The matchups are as follows:
Just a reminder as well that if you are going to play Point of Reach, the slots are 3 and 4.
See you all Saturday!
Greetings Commanders!
After discussing with the Tournament Team, we have decided to let the top 8 players in the LotS points system pick their first opponent of the Swiss Stage. I will update the list below as I receive replies from the players.
Pickable opponents:
You can find the bracket and mappool on the google sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XxgiDy4G9cnYpxFJkamWJ4bPhkVBfHMben0ICPIBYlw/edit?usp=sharing
The veto system for the Swiss Stage will be a lot more simple as it is only BO1 throughout the entire stage. The veto rules are as follows:
Once the map has been decided, both players will DM the TD with 2 factions they would like to pick, and the faction they would like to ban for their opponent (You can pick the faction that you ban).
Example message for faction veto:
Hybrid_:
Aeon 1st pick
UEF 2nd pick
Ban Aeon
Once both players have informed the TD, the TD will ping them in discord channel of which faction they will be playing.
Mappool:
This stage is almost identical to LotS, the main changes are that the first round is seeded, and that the 2-2 bracket the matchups will be versus the players coming from the opposite scoreline.
The updated rules are:
That is all, goodluck commanders!
Congratulations to those who made it through, some new faces and returning ones which is great to see! And of course commiserations to the participants who didn't make it, I hope you had an enjoyable experience!
The qualifiees are as follows:
The seeding will be announced on the forums shortly, alongside the spreadsheet being posted.
The maps are added onto the challonge
Bracket: https://challonge.com/hz7kicnr
A slight change which is that the qualifying match in the losers bracket will be BO3.
Goodluck commanders!
Just a quick announcement, not all invitations were accepted, meaning that there will be 2 extra qualifying slots from the qualifier. So in total there will be 6 players that come from the qualifiers into the Swiss Stage.
You will be able to find the rounds where you qualify under the round name in the challonge, and since the rule change after LotS, the matches that would have been played after you qualify will no longer be played.
The maps will be assigned tonight or tomorrow, and not every single map is likely to be selected.
@Morax yeah I understand that, I'll look into making some events in the future better for players in NA timezones
@Morax How much of a pushback in general would be preferable? Not sure if I'll change anything yet though
@LilyAly noted, please don't start a ladder game when the tourney starts this time 
The mappool is as follows:
You can find when each map will be played on the challonge (Updated a few days before the tournament): https://challonge.com/hz7kicnr
Goodluck commanders!
@Nuggets If you read the forum post, you would be able to see that the post tells you how the format works. With that information I don't think its hard to figure out how many games are going to be played from the amount of teams there are, and which you can also guess how its likely to be split between both days.
Appreciate the feedback. But yeah we've been getting a lot of feedback about Sat/Sun tourneys and will look to work the schedule of future tourneys using the Sunday only if necessary.
