Beach LAN 6

## Overview

This is the 6th installment of the Beachlan series hosted by McDick. Beachlan is the main annual event for Halo Combat Evolved. The Beach Lan is simply a big lan event with a tournament thrown in the middle. 21 teams signed up for the tournament. FFA was notably absent from this tournament.

### Format

* Pool play is seeded by last years results
* Top 8 advance to the Double Elimination bracket.
* Rounds will be Bo5.
* Maps will be countered picked. Each team gets to ban 1 stage that will not be played. The first map will be determined by striking the remaining 5 stages in a 1-2-1 format where the higher seed gets to pick the first and last stage striked where the lower seed will strike 2 in a row. During this event, someone changed the temp on the AC to heat @ 80 degrees. It was over 8 hours before someone checked the AC and changed it back because everyone just assumed it was broken.

### Game Types and Maps

* 2v2 Team Slayer; first to 50
* Maps allowed: Chillout, Prisoner, Hang em High, Damnation, Derelict, Battle Creek, & Downrush
* A third xbox will serve as the host box so no team gets host advantage.

* You can not use a blank name.
* You cannot use the same name as your partner.
* Players are responsible for making sure their controller settings are correct prior to the game starting.

* In the event of a tie game, the match must be replayed on the same map.

* Players will NOT be allowed to use portals to intentionally force players outside of the map.
* Accidents can happen in Halo CE. If the previous does happen, 5 players at random will be selected to review the play after the game is over and determine whether it was intentional or not. If the committee determines it is intentional than that team will be disqualified and again will result in a forfeit. \*This is assuming all stations will be capped\*
