Custom Tournaments: Create Your Own Tournament

Posted by

March 17, 2023

We’re excited to announce the latest feature that will take the gaming experience to a whole new level: Custom Tournaments.

This game modality will allow anyone to organize their own tournaments! 

Let’s get into it in more detail.

Rules

Custom Tournaments can be organized and managed by anyone — it’s not necessary to have a team participating in the competition.

The creator of the tournament will choose the duration and dates, the number of competitors, the team level range (min & max), the entry fee and the prize pool model. 

There won’t be divisions anymore (Amateur, Beginner, Semi-Pro, Pro and Legend) — from now on teams will be categorized by their overall level from 10 to 100.

How to participate

Tournaments are open to all and it's the responsibility of the creator to share the access link. There is no limit to the number of parallel tournaments that can take place, which means anyone can participate in multiple tournaments simultaneously.

Be mindful when signing up for multiple tournaments — the number of matches per day is different in each competition, so the condition of your players could be too low, or schedules could even clash!

Rewards

After the tournament ends, it's a simple click of a button to distribute rewards, and anyone can do it.

Prizes will be in $MSU and the prize pool model will be chosen by the creator. Currently, the prize pool options available are the following (note that new options will be added in the following releases):

  • Option 1 - 1st 100%
  • Option 2 - 1st 50%, 2nd 30%, 3rd 20%
  • Option 3 - 1st 40%, 2nd 25%, 3rd 15%, 4th 10%, 5th 6%, 6th 4%

The introduction of Custom Tournaments is a game-changer that puts you in control of every aspect of the tournament. This new feature empowers you to create or participate in tournaments that match your preferences and skills!

Custom Tournaments will be available from Friday, 17 March at https://app.metasoccer.com/ 

Try the beta version and be one of the first to experience our new competition mode. In the following releases, more prize pool options will be added and sponsorship will be activated. In addition, MetaSoccer will be sponsoring some tournaments to increase the total prize pool!

Get ready to unleash your competitive spirit and join the most exciting gaming experience yet.

FAQ

Will the MetaSoccer League still be organized?

No, it will not. Custom Tournaments are the new PvP tournaments and will replace the MetaSoccer League.

How can I learn about upcoming tournaments?

We will create Discord and TG channels to give visibility to the new tournaments created. There, creators will be able to share the access link to each tournament.

How can I participate in a particular tournament?

To enroll in a particular tournament, you will need to have a team that matches the specified level range of the tournament, then click the access link and pay the entry fee of the tournament.

How much do I have to pay to participate in a particular tournament?

The entry fee will be defined in advance by the creator of a particular tournament.

BETA VERSION: There will be a cap of 100 $MSU only during the release of the first version of the Custom Tournaments. Once this new competition mode has been thoroughly tested and validated, the cap will be removed.

What happens if I pay the entry fee to join a tournament but in the end the tournament doesn’t take place due to not reaching the minimum participation? 

In this case, you will be refunded.

In how many tournaments can I participate?

There is no limitation in the number of tournaments you can participate in. In case of parallel tournaments, be aware that match schedules are random, so you may have matches too close blocking your team condition recovery, or you may have matches at the same time not being able to play them all. 

How will teams be divided in a particular tournament?

There won’t be divisions anymore (Amateur, Beginner, Semi-Pro, Pro and Legend). The creator will decide the team level range (min & max) needed to enroll in the tournament. Then, all teams that have signed up will compete against each other.

What are the rewards?

Rewards will be defined in advance by the creator of a particular tournament. They correspond to 90% of the total prize pool and will be distributed according to one of the following options as chosen by the creator:

  • Option 1 - 1st 100%
  • Option 2 - 1st 50%, 2nd 30%, 3rd 20%
  • Option 3 - 1st 40%, 2nd 25%, 3rd 15%, 4th 10%, 5th 6%, 6th 4%

The other 10% of the total prize pool will be distributed between the creator of the tournament (5%) and MetaSoccer (5%).

When will I receive the reward if I become one of the prize winners of a particular tournament?

There will be a public reward distribution button. After the tournament ends, anyone will be able to click on it and launch the reward distribution.

When will Custom Tournaments start?

Custom Tournaments will be available from Friday, 17 March. From this date, anyone will be able to create a tournament.

To create a tournament, do I have to own a team and participate in it?
