The tournament consists of 16 teams with ten players per team. The game mode is open for now, but most likely we will play Capture the Flag game with some modifications. The weapons use infrared laser in order to function, so you do not have to worry about protection. We have 40 weapons of which 20 are constantly in use. The event lasts for about 8 hours, and a single fight lasts about half an hour. Each fight is a qualification game.
The participation fee is €100/team or €10 per participant. Payment instructions will follow later with the game programme and other useful stuff.
