A team free for all myth 2 tournament will take place beginning in the Summer (hello summer we will be borrowing you for this)
hopefully leading up to our annual Myth World Cup.
Teams will battle in a winner takes all 500$ cash prize tournament, comprised of 3 players on a roster maximum, 2 in a game maximum, 1 min. This is the first tournament to have a cash prize of this size since Myth World Cup 2008.
Matches will take place on the weekends.
Scoring is simple. Placement nets points, forfeits may net penalties.
The teams with more points move onto the next round, the teams with less may face elimination depending on the size and scale of the tournament round.
There will be at least a 3-week qualifying round period.
Entry fee is zero, dummying illegal, elimination final.
I'm having a little trouble bringing all of the features to The Gauntlet that I had desired.
Regardless, a makeshift The Gauntlet website is now up and active folks! Unless I can get some extra assistance, I won't be able to bring all of the features to the participants and observers that I had wanted. Regardless, I don't want this to run deep into MWC season when we should be celebrating Myth's Greatest Tradition at that time!
Head on over to https://thegauntletsite.wordpress.com/ to check out the action.
Myself and the other organizers involved would love to have those interested in providing their support or input as content creators or bracket hosts/facilitators, please contact me!

If you're looking to register yourself/your team head on over to https://thegauntletsite.wordpress.com/contact/ and fill out the required forms to place your entry in the 500$ contest of carnage!
The data collected in these entry forms will help shape the times and schedules used during the tournament
When does registration begin? june 26th!
the tournament will begin July 23rd and end August 20th.
That is correct, the 500 dollar prize has been reconfirmed to be secure and awaiting champions. Will you be one?
If there are more than 48 entries (8 brackets) registered there will be a qualifying round before the beginning of eliminations. This tournament is the style of qualify/win or go home and fairly concise, lasting no more than a month unless there is a QR in which it will be 5 weeks.
If you are thinking about entering solo to earn the 500$ cash prize for yourself, please consider being able to make each round scheduled (which will be the 4 or 5 weekends following the end of the registration period).
If you are thinking about creating a team to earn the 500$ together, please consider each other's schedules so that at least one player would be present for each round scheduled. The cash prize will be sent via PayPal to the team's captain which will be designated by the player who creates the entry.
Elimination will be final except under the conditions of
- a) a designated qualifying round due to a large number of entries,
b) an entry whom qualifies for a future round posts they/it are/is unable to make their scheduled appearance,
c) an entry does not show for a future round and a substitute plays- 1) given priority by rank on the website, and cannot subsitute more than two rounds in a row;
2) Placeholders are also allowed to fill out games when there are no substitutes available; Everyone who places below the placeholder in a game is counted as placing one higher, as if the placeholder did not exist.
- 1) given priority by rank on the website, and cannot subsitute more than two rounds in a row;
