To help celebrate the opening of the fourth I Am Legend game sim "Columbus Circle", I Am Legend: Survival will be hosting a Squad Tourney in the game sims.
We've always attempted to make the gameplay in I Am Legend: Survival about cooperation and team tactics. We've seen several improptu "squads" showing up regularly to play together. We'd like to give an opportunity for the various teams in I Am Legend: Survival to compete at a different level.
Starting on November 30th when the sims reopen, competitors kills and deaths will effect their final score in the Tourney for the four days of the competition. Upon completion of the competition on Dec. 3rd when the sims close for the evening, team scores will be tabulated and first, second, and third place winners announced.
----------------------------------------------
THE RULES:
In order to compete, you must register your team via notecard with Spider Mandala. Registration begins November 26th and ends November 29th. Registrion requires a notecard with the following information:
- Team Name
- Team Affiliation (uninfected or infected)
- Team Members names AND UUIDs
UUIDs are the unique key SL uses to identify avatars, items, and scripts. Your UUID is unique and is how scoring is tracked for IAL:S. You can use the Key Getter box from the followup group announcement (or contact Cory Edo or Spider Mandala for a copy) to get your UUID. UUIDs must be submitted with your tournament notecard or you will not be entered!
Instructions: rez the Key Getter inworld and click on it. It will give your name and your UUID in chat. Use Ctrl-H to bring up chat history, click and drag the line in chat with the UUID information, Ctrl-C to copy this information, and then Ctrl-V to paste it in your tournament notecard.
Teams must consist of four players, teams must consist of same faction (i.e. all infected or all uninfected). Teams can consist of different classes, i.e. darkseekers and infected dogs can comprise a team, or uninfected humans and police dogs can comprise a team, but darkseekers and police dogs cannot comprise a team.

---------------------------------------------
All beginning scores will be recorded on November 29th when the sims are closed for the day. All finishing scores will be recorded on Dec 3rd when the game closes overnight.
All kills and deaths during the Tourney count. The final team score will be tabulated as follows: number of total team kills minus number of total team deaths equals total team score. This means the team sinks or swims together, if one player dies 20 times to ensure 21 kills for the team, that player will still win in the long run by assisting their team in their strategy. Likewise if a player goes solo and dies 20 times because he is alone, it will count against the team score for everyone. Cooperation and strategy are key to the tourney.
The tournament ends on Dec 3rd when the sims close for the evening. All scores will be tallied at that point and winners will be announced via group announcement and on the IAL:S blog. We will contact the winners directly to collect names/addresses for shipping information for prizes.
It should go without saying that NO cheating, exploits or abuse will be tolerated from any team or team member during the competition, we assume that if you are on a team you are a seasoned player and know the sims rules. We expect sportsmanship and a fair competition. If any member of a team is found to be exploiting cheating or abusing the system the players entire squad will be disqualified. Cheating judgement calls are made solely on the administrator's discretion and judgement and are final.
