Competitive Play

Write the first paragraph of your page here.

General Info
Competitive play is for pilots who wish to test their skills against pilots from all around the world for glory and prizes. Elite mech pilots can compete for decent sums of money as well as unique prizes such as custom jackets and trophies. Will your mech stand tall amongst the rest or fall amongst the rubble below?

Tournaments
Thus far, all tournaments have been run by OperaEvent. Future tournament are intended to be run by SDI directly and, in more casual settings, by players and the community. Leaderboards are available on both the Archangel game website (beta) and the OperaEvent Hellfire pages, with slightly differing scoring formulas.

Unofficial Rules (enforced as of 13-7-18):

 * Matches are played 2v2 to a score of 10, as per standard rules. (YOU WILL NEED A WINGMAN)
 * Players may team up with any other player, including any other tournament qualifier who has not already played a match or been a previous winner. (Byes and forefeits do not count)
 * Qualifier matches may be played and recorded in the week preceding each tournament after signing up for the current tournament. (The remaining tournaments are currently open to all players)
 * If you join another player who has already qualified, you pick one of your combined two bracket slots and play that game and continue from there. The other slot is forfeit.
 * Brackets are set the Friday evening before competition based on qualifier matches (not listed worldwide rank), and are sent out either that evening or the morning of preceding the game time frame.
 * Players arrange their own matches within the specified time frame (11 am – 4 pm PST), but may run later if necessary and/or approved by both teams and the coordinator
 * A wingman leaving or disconnecting shall result in a rematch at the discretion of the coordinator.
 * Results should be captured either via video recording or picture capture of the results screen. Rewards may be available for the first video submission of each match to the coordinator.
 * Winners may not play in further tournaments with $500 prizes, but are rather granted a spot in the final tournament between other champions and finalist teams.
