###########################

Team Signup

Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Please remember that there are only eight spots in this tournament.
Applications must be submitted by the clan leader. This helps us with verifying that participating teams have been approved to compete in the tournament. Keep in mind that all members on an application must be from the same clan.

Clan leaders must submit the team roster and application to csi@thefinalstand.com with the subject “3v3 Team Application” please make sure to include the in-game name of everyone on the roster. After approval and verification you will be asked to pay the entry fee. Do not pay until your application has been verified. Entry fees must be paid to Atrus Westland. If they are paid to someone else the application and entry will be considered invalid. Rosters may consist of up to six members but please remember that only three will play in each bout.

The entry fee is 100L per person for the first three entrants. Each individual over the first three will require an additional 50L each.

3 team members = 300L
6 team members = 450L

The Final Stand will not be taking any cut of the entry fees. They will be added directly to the purse. The prize money will be awarded to the clan leader of the winning team at the end of the tournament.

Judges Signup

There will be a panel of six judges. The judges may not appear on any team roster nor will they be assigned to judge a match that their team is participating in.

We would prefer that a majority of the judges be from C:SI clans, however the judge’s panel will not be limited to only members of the clans. C:SI community members in good standing who are clanless are welcome to submit an application as well.

In order to judge you must be available for each day of the tournament for a half hour before and after the designated match times, that is from 2:30pm SLT to 5pm SLT on each day.
Send applications to csi@thefinalstand.com with the subject “3v3 Judges Application”. Please also include your in-game name.
