Sponsored by: EdgeGamers Organization | SteamRep | KritzKast
1. Introduction
a. The Free-4-All tournament was created in an effort to provide the most enjoyable experience possible to the competitors while they compete for prizes against one another. It was formed with the help of eGO members and staff of our sponsors SteamRep and Kritzkast. Also a huge thanks goes out to Loops who created our background art for the website.
b. Kicking off on Saturday, July 27th at 1:00pm CST, 2:00pm EST, tournament play will be a four round journey to victory. In each round, participants will be able to choose one class to play for that round's entirety. After choosing their class, they may not change until the round has ended. Each player may choose a different class each round, they are not required to stay the same class for the entire tournament. Loadouts may be changed at any time during each round. The final round will be decided in an MGE style best of 3 series between the top finalists.
c. Promptly around 2:00pm EST on tournament day, all participants are required to join the steam group chat room to receive information on joining match servers and elimination details.

All players are expected to follow eGO policies when registering for The Free-4-All tournament. This means that no names entered into this tournament may contain any of the following: profanity, racism, sexism, drug use, or general vulgarity. If a participant has a name that does not abide by these guidelines, tournament officials have the right to remove them from the tournament following a warning.

3. Gameplay
a. Tournament Progression
To move on to the next round of the tournament following each round, you must be able to collect enough kills to place you in the top number of players moving on in your server, which will be set by the tournament administrators. Not doing so will result in elimination from the tournament. Remember: Players with the most KILLS will move on to the next round, not most points.

Any unsportsmanlike conduct which includes any of the following: (Racism, Profanity, Rude Acts, Vulgar Acts, Acts of Belligerence, and Disrespect of an Official) may be reviewed and are reason for elimination from the tournament.
