WoW Circle PvP Tournament(English version)

The idea to organize the PvP tournament for the players of different servers came to us quite spontaneously. Such thoughts came to my mind some time before but we didn’t have an opportunity to hold the competition till now. Today we decide to pause the development of the cross-realm because of some problems, and finish it a bit later with a fresh mind, and to fill this pause we organize the PvP tournament. It will be held on 3 World of Warcraft patches, which our server works with.

We analised the previous tournament, that was held 1.5 years ago and took into account all of your comments and suggestions, that’s why this time everything will be more smooth and showily.

Keeping the traditions we worked hard over few updates to fix the critical bugs before the tournament, and nearly all of them will be fixed by the start of the event.

Features:

- Maximum operability of the PvP content, improved by our team during last months.
- Separate server dedicated for the tournament.
- Separate realm with the cloth/professions vendors, that will give you everything to prepare your character for the battle.
- The only 3x3 arena bracket, all the other brackets will be turned off.
- The tournament will last for nearly 1.5 weeks on each patch, and the whole event will last for just over a month.
- The tournament will be devided into the periods: first the qualification will take place, then the 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 rounds and the final battles. The terms of the rounds are listed below.
* For TBC and Cataclysm, after qualification start 1/4, not 1/8.
