Tournaments

Tournaments are competitive events in Arcanists 2 where players compete for various prizes awarded by the community. Currently, the majority of tournament events are organized by moderators and tournament organizers in the official Arcanists 2 discord server, with a few exceptions being those that are hosted by private communities. In order to participate in tournaments that are sanctioned by the Arcanists 2 community, players must sign up in the active #season-info channel in the discord server.

General Tournament Rules

General tournament rules are stated in the #tourney-info channel of the Arcanists 2 discord server. Rules are subject to change.

As of December 3rd, 2021, the rules are as follows:

All server rules found under the rules-and-server-info section of discord apply. Breaking them will be grounds for disqualification. Tournament Hosts and Mods have final say on all tournament-related counts. Please confine discussion of rulings to the tournament-discussion channel of discord or discord private messages, do not flood other channels.
Tournament Hosts or Mods must watch games for it to count. Please grab one of them before starting your match.
All season-specific rules and guidelines will apply to their respective tournaments, and will be posted in the tournament-specific channel (usually season#-info).
Practice good sportsmanship. Do not be toxic, call others names, harass hosts or mods, or be unnecessarily obtuse or difficult to work with.
Be available. Lack of availability may result in disqualification without prejudice. Most players are available during evening hours for US and EU timezones, so it is highly preferable that you are able to play during these hours. If you cannot make it to your arranged match, please let one of the Tournament Hosts know as soon as possible. Make attempts to organize matches in the #tournament-discussion discord channel so that Tournament Hosts can see that you are active. Keep pings and/or DMs open from server.
During an official match, a player must be fully in control of their character and must not receive outside help. Account sharing, 'guiding', relaying lobby chat, secretly alting in the lobby, and other such actions may result in punishment for all involved. This rule applies to spectators as well.
- During tournaments involving teams, teammates are always allowed to offer suggestions, but the account sharing portion of the rule still applies.
Bug abuse and other malicious activities, such as ddosing or DC hacking, will not be tolerated and will result in an immediate disqualification.
- In the event of a disconnection or game resync not caused by a player, there may be a remake at the host's discretion, such as the disconnected party having a clear advantage or the game being in an early stage. If your game disconnects or resyncs, take a screenshot and send this to the host(s).
Remember that this is a remake of the game and as such some mechanics may be slightly different. If you’re new, play some games before your official match to get an understanding of how the game works. Please report any bugs in the bug-reports discord channel.
- A particularly low map on Elven Isles will be a remade game at the discretion of the Tournament Hosts.

Tournament Types

The two main tournament types that have been created in the Arcanists 2 community are seasonal tournaments, and the weekend series tournaments.

Seasonal tournaments are widely considered more prestigious, with trophy roles being handed out for each one, and also additional prizes are quite often awarded including costumes, rating, and even cash prizes. These tournaments take place over a time span of 1-4 weeks, usually. Seasonal tournaments also have a larger entry pool, as players from all different time zones participate.

The weekend series tournaments are scheduled tournaments that are held across one day. Rather than regular sign-ups and having matches arranged over a long stretch of time, participants must be present during a check-in phase, along with their teammates, in order to participate. Participants then play a series of matches over the course of the day, with a winning team being crowned usually after about 4-5 hours of games. Rather than trophy roles and other prizes being handed out, the awards for winning weekend series tournaments are a medal cosmetic. These tournaments are designed for players to enjoy the fun of teams tournaments in a somewhat casual format, while not having to struggle to arrange games with people in different time zones.

Additionally, there are a few tournaments that can be categorized as non-sanctioned tournaments. These tournaments are ones that are often organized within friend groups, clans, or other communities that are separate from the Arcanists 2 community. As they are not hosted by the tournament organizers of the Arcanists 2 community, they are not subject to the rules and procedures stated in the General Tournament Rules section, and are often not open to public sign-ups.
