We Are Proud to Present

THE 2023 ELK CUP

Everything you need to know.

  • The Elk Cup is our open invitational, 2v2 double elimination tournament. There are two separate brackets, for the sake of balancing skill and experience, each with their own prize. To sort out which one you are (you may join either), think about how good you think you are out of 10 at we are about to do. Visit our discord server for more information—We are using the same system as exhibition ranks.

    - Ranks (1-5): Silver Cup
    - Ranks (6-10): Elk Cup

    This will be played on Roll20 and using our DND PVP Discord voice chat. Entry is first come first serve, so register ASAP!

  • This is for people who have a solid grasp of combat (know the D&D 5e system). It helps to have played in at least a few exhibition matches (know our system). Although questions are ok, we are on a time limit when we play, and you are expected to know your stuff. Other than that, everyone is welcome.

  • If you don’t have a teammate for this 2v2 tournament, you are still very much welcome to find one and join. Look for the channel about this in our discord and get set up with someone around your experience level.

  • We are using the current ‘Basic’ ruleset for this tournament, as well as the considerations below:

    Character Selection: Each person submits 1 character sheet with registration. No changes may be made to this sheet once the tournament begins.

    Level 5 - 2v2: As fits our balanced set, let's push it to the limit this season.

    PVP Referees: One is required for play, as they will set up, moderate and record the match in our logs once complete.

    Maps: Every team may veto 1 of the possible 5 maps. Next, a Dx will be rolled to determine the battle map (Depending on the remaining number of maps after vetoes).

    Registration: Open up until May 30th, 2023. Both team sheets must be fully edited and locked before this date.

    Scheduling:
    - You have 2 weeks to schedule a match from the time your scheduling group is set up to play.
    - If a game cannot be scheduled between parties in this time, and it is clear that one team tried harder to schedule/was a lot more open, they will record the win.
    - If this isn’t clear, each team has an additional week to schedule, a dual-sheet match now becoming an option.
    - Every time a group uses an extra week to schedule, they receive one counter. You only have 2 total—so when you run out, automatically receive a loss on your 3rd.

  • Keep your turns brief:

    Although minimal help and strategic advice is allowed on the table between teammates. This is competitive play, and you should have an idea of what you want to do. Taking too much time to either speak or type in secret degrades the experience and extends the match unnecessarily past expectations. The players and those watching, thank you.

    Respect and appreciate the referee:

    Please don’t argue with negativity. Referees do have the final say–This is true as is the trust we have in those with the tag. Please feel free to bring up considerations, as we all err. But after the quick discussion, what is ruled is, and the match must move on. If there is an issue with this and you need some help, please message @fred#4218 after the match.

    Recording:

    Games may be recorded and posted online. Your permission for this will be taken for granted upon initial registration. Sharing in fun will be an important part of allowing our community to grow together. You will be clearly informed about everything prior to being recorded or streamed.

  • Read the rules and fill out the form below; only once for each team (both players do not need to fill one out).

    Once this is complete, you will be messaged on Discord and asked for character sheets. These must be in to have your spot saved, and for you to be fully registered.

Will these names enter the Hall of Heroes?
