The following update has been added to this thread's OP as well:
Ragnarök will be using Tide Bay, FLASHPOINT'S Multiplayer Arena Map. Turn Duration is 90-seconds.
Players have 10 rounds to position themselves around Tide Bay's central Volcanic Caldera and be within Radar contact of one another.
From then on out the Caldera is a possible Victory Condition that MUST be given due consideration.
There are two ways to win a Ragnarok Tournament match, the player who eliminates his opponent's BattleMechs wins the match.
Also, the player who takes the Caldera (by locating a Mech on the Caldera) and can provide a Round-11 (or later) No-Radar-Contact screen-capture, wins the match. In this way, even though Tide Bay is a very large map, a combat presence MUST be maintained at the Caldera. Moving to the edge of the map to gain map edge advantage will result in a loss. Also the potential for map edge grieving is eliminated as a Round-11 (or later) screen-capture submission will win the match for the gamer who claims the Caldera.
If anyone has any questions about this Tournament Rule, please raise them in thread or in a PM to me as soon as the question or problem arises.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. :bow:
And as ever, good luck and good FLASHPOINT gaming!
