WHAT?:
This is an ACFL (Algoron Capture the Flag League) Annual Tournament for the coveted Magma Cup!

WAIT. WHAT?:
It's a magical Trophy Cup made out of molten glowing magma that magically doesn't seem to burn your hands or mouth! It's great at parties!

WHEN?:
July 12 - July 26

WHERE?:
The new 'Taidra Memorial Stadium' that is being constructed on Volcano Island.

(A portal will be provided from the Gaming Palace during competitions)

HOW?:
Every ACFL Team can enter their team based on their last seasons roster. But also, anyone else can form a team to enter the tournament as well. Current teams may even elect to LOAN a player to another team for the entirety of the tournament. The tournament draw will be 100% random for each round. If a team loses, they are out. We will continue until one team is left and declared the Magma Cup Winner. To create an amateur team, you need at least 4 players but can have as many as 8 on your roster. If you are short a player for a team, speak to the ACFL owners to see if you can purchase or borrow one of their players for your team.

WHY?:
This gives us an annual ACFL event between seasons to not only gain interest in the Algoron Capture the Flag League, but to also allow amateur teams to compete for the prizes and share in the fun. This is an ANNUAL EVENT, so get in the history books on winning the first Magma Cup in history.

PRIZES?:
If you enter a team and a full team shows up for all of your tournament matches (at least 4), you will automatically receive a team prize of 100 eggs. (divide however you like) For each win afterwards, the team will receive an additional 100 eggs. The semi-finalist will receive an extra 500 eggs bonus and the Winning Team will receive the final prize of 1000 eggs AND the Magma Cup Trophy until the next tournament. All members of the winning team will receive a Magma Cup Medal for permanent ownership.

A room object Cup will be given for permanent decoration, but the HELD cup will have special stats and will change ownership when the next champion is declared. The Medals are NECK work items with special stats.

RULES?:
- Same Rules as the ACFL matches with the following exceptions:

1. OF COURSE this is an IN CHARACTER EVENT. DUH!

2. Players that have an alt on a previous seasons ACFL team (Season 5 in this case) MAY NOT enter on a different team with an alt. They are still contracted to their teams. However, an owner may LOAN a player to a different team for the entire duration of this tournament. (For free, or a fee or whatever they decide to do based on their role-play) ACFL players CAN BE released to play an alt into this tournament by the owner.

3. Loaned players will play for the new team for the ENTIRETY of the tournament and may not be recalled.
