vVv Saturn 66 Report post Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) vVv Gaming is proud to present the return of the Supersonic Series! Unique game nights each week will allow Teams and individual Rocketeers to bring their A game and level up their gaming skills! Whether the goal is to improve teamwork, find suitable opponents, or just acquire valuable feedback on how to improve one’s gameplay, these events will accomplish just that! Changes from Season 2 It is time to change your schedules! We are now moving days to better accommodate NA players wishing to compete in other tournaments. The Draft will be now on Monday, Showdown on Wednesday, and Saturday nights will now be 2v2 tournaments! We’ve also partnered with Rocket League Central, so Wednesday nights now factor into Power Ranking! We have also made a document with all of the rules which we request ALL participants to look over in order to have the most positive experience in the Supersonic Series. The Supersonic Series Rules & Regulations can be found by clicking on this link NOW ONTO THE GOOD STUFF! Season 3 starts on Monday, June 6th, 2016 The very first tournament, on June 6th, will be an open tournament that we are calling a "Kick Off". With this kick off tournament we are hoping to raise awareness of Supersonic Series to all rocketeers. Tournament will be streamed on our twitch channel, twitch.tv/livevvvgaming and we invite you all to come and watch what we hope to be a really awesome tournament! Supersonic Draft When: Every Monday night starting at 9:00 PM EST (6:00 PM PST) Checkins start at 8:30 PM EST and close at 8:50 PM EST.

How to Participate: Visit http://vvv-gaming.com/RLRegister, follow instructions on how to sign up and then join our TeamSpeak server 15-30 minutes before starting time! You will have to perform these steps for each game night that you participate in. Players with the highest solo ranking will be elected as captains and will pick players that they want on their team. Captains will take turns picking their members in a “snake-style” (A, B, C, C, B, A) draft until all teams have 3 players each. Participating with friends is encouraged, however there is no guarantee that you will be on the same team. The captain’s name will be entered into the bracket and will be used to represent their team. Upon being selected onto a team, administrator will move you to appropriate channel. Channels will be renamed after team captains. Show/hide Supersonic Showdown When: Every Wednesday night starting at 9:00 PM EST (6:00 PM PST) Checkins start at 8:30 PM EST and close at 8:50 PM EST.

For all events above, the Admin will announce via TeamSpeak when the event has started. Once this happens you should contact the opposing team and host a private game among yourselves and play your best out of three matches. After you complete playing your match, one player from your team needs to report your score to the Admin. To keep things clean, please save replays of games you win in case we need to refer to them to prove a winner. Point System: You will receive points for your participation in each tournament. These points will determine the top 8 teams, both from Showdown, top 16 teams from Duo, and top 24 players that will participate in the three season finale tournaments. The first tournament will be hosted for the top 24 players based on the individual scores from Supersonic Draft event. The second tournament will be hosted for the top 8 teams based on points earned during Supersonic Showdown nights.

What tournaments were running on Tuesday and Thursdays? Mockit hosts tournaments every day of the week, but monday and wednesday is a 1v1 and 2v2 tournament respectively. If we want to compete with them still we need to change it up. That is why we changed the schedule to the way it is. I apologize if it is an inconvenience.
