Football Tournament: The Second Gen of D_A_R_K_F_I_N's Community Events

[You.Have.to.die 519]

 

Hello Tankers! Have you heard about the Football Tournament hosted by Event Helper ‘D_A_R_K_F_I_N’? If not, then you are missing out. In this article, I will be explaining what the Football Tournament is and why you should get involved. So, without further ado, lets blow the whistle.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Procedure

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

To begin with, five minutes before the start of the Football Tournament, players are recommended to join the Discord voice channel called “Football Tournament Chat”. This will make it easier for D_A_R_K_F_I_N to communicate with the participants. The participants do not need to talk but need to be listening to D_A_R_K_F_I_N. Then, once every participant is in the voice channel, D_A_R_K_F_I_N or any helper of the Football Tournament will invite the participants to the map.

 

When the participants have entered the map, all participants will line up across the football pitch (stadium) and four participants will volunteer to become team captains and equip the correct paints corresponding to their team colour. Next, the team captains will choose who they want to be on their team (one by one), these chosen participants take the paint of their team respectively. Each team will consist of 3-5 players (depending on the number of participants).

 

The players from each team can go into their respective team voice channel or stay in the main voice channel with the spectators. Now, the first fixture will take place (chosen randomly before the start of the Football Tournament). During the match, each team must work together to score three goals, or score more goals than the other team before the end of the match. Each match is approximately five minutes long. The match starts when D_A_R_K_F_I_N or the referee throws the ball into the centre circle of the pitch. The players of both teams cannot enter the centre circle until the ball has touched the ground.

 

Once the match has begun, the teams will have to try and make three successful passes without the ball being intercepted by the other team. The other team can intercept the ball by getting on the top on your tank, blocking a pass or making the other team put the ball out of the playing area by ramming them off the pitch. Once three successful passes have been made, the team can score a goal by dribbling towards the net (in front the rugby capture points) and shooting, making the ball go into the net. The other team can stop this by blocking the shot or catching the ball on the goal line.

 

 

If a team scores, the ball goes back to the centre circle where a player from the opposite team passes the ball to one of the other players in their team (this will indicate the restart of the match). If the ball rolls out of the playing area, it is a throwing (just like in Football) and if it goes out of the playing area next to the goal, it is a goal kick or a corner kick (more information about this in the 'Basic Rules' section).

 

Once one team has scored three goals or five minutes have been played, the results of the match are recorded. Each team will play each team once and the two teams with the highest number of points overall will play in the finals to decide the overall winner. The winner of the finals is declared to be the overall winner of the Football Tournament. Both teams in the finals will receive a prize for their participation in the form of a promocode.

Oh my goodness... the font is so small!  Also, my computer is messing with me.  Nice article, I just wish I could participate in this event.  Heh, reminds me of football!

When I last wrote for the AWC, I remember it was font size 12 for the main body and font size 14 for titles/ Introduction + Conclusion. It is quite easy to join the event, just join the discord server. Unless you meant that you do not have time for them. Yeah, it is basically just football, hence the name.

For me the font is small but it makes sense.  My writing teacher asks for the same font styles, but now I'm just kind of used to larger font sizes.  While I'd like to join the event, I highly doubt I meet the rank requirements or have time.

We have done 4 football tournaments so far and it's been a pretty successful event. The most important is that participants enjoy being there. We have an amazing group of people in our discord server: https://discord.gg/6SP5s8f
