[size=150][b]Challenge Board[/b][/size]

[list][*]Teams are stick to the Challenge board and no switching can be done.
[*]The Challenge Board is organized as following:
[list=1][*]Each server gets an automatically-generated random number, and are sorted from the smallest to the bigger number
[*]The first 4 teams who registered standing they want to play on an US server are bound to the American server
[*]Then, all the other teams, including those who stood they wanted to play on an US server but aren't one of the 4 first teams to do so, get an automatically-generated random number as well, and are sorted from the smallest to the bigger number
[*]Then, these Teams are assigned to the servers in the simplest way there is: first 4 goes on first server, those from 5 to 8 on the 2nd server, etc[/list][/list]
[*]These automatically-generated random numbers mentioned above can be announced.


[size=150][b]Servers[/b][/size]
[list][*]The behavior of all servers participating in the TST will be exactly the same, using settings which are provided by us to the server administrators [b]and only those[/b].
[*]The chosen solution to quickly load TST settings is a built-in-map configuration, and can be used using this command:[code]MAP_FILE Durka/teamsumo/map-1.aamap.xml[/code]Server administrators must use this setting and only this setting
[*]Exceptions to this rule are settings which have no effect on gameplay, and are made to make server administrating run at it's best.
