There have been many questions since the launch of 1.50 asking about the functionality of tournaments, the answers to many of these questions can be found below.
Registration
Each tournament will have a time and day where the sign-up window opens. Once the registration window opens, open the Calendar screen. Days that have open registration for tournaments will have a green icon on them (blue icons signify that the tournament sign-up has not started yet).
To register for the Tournament, scroll to the day on the calendar, press X and then select Tournament Sign Up at the top of the screen. From there select which Tournament to participate in and select to Register.
Creating or Joining a Team
Tournaments are open to all SOCOM: Confrontation players, whether they are a clan leader, member or not in a clan at all. After a player has registered for a tournament, they can select to Create their own team or Search for an already registered team and request to join.
Players who are registered for the tournament but not in a specific team will be automatically assigned to empty slots on existing teams so they may still participate.
Those who choose to create their own teams are encouraged to invite players only once as there have been infrequent reports of players being returned to the XMB when inviting a player repeatedly.
Playing in a Tournament
Once a player is registered for a tournament, when returning to the Calendar, days with scheduled matches will have a gold icon on them. To see the scheduled match time, scroll to the day and select it.
If you have SOCOM Confrontation running prior to your tournament match you will receive tournament match reminders 15 minutes, 10 minutes and 5 minutes before you need to join the Pre Game lobby.
You must join the Pre-Game lobby in the 10 minute window before your scheduled match begins, this can be done by either accepting the Game Invitation you will receive at the start of this 10 minute window or if you need to finish something up you can navigate there via the Tournament Match menu option under the Briefing Room main menu option.
At the scheduled time matches will automatically begin. The winning team from each match will advance through the tournament brackets with first, second and third place winners receiving gold, silver and bronze trophies respectively.
Enjoy Yourself
Over the coming weeks new and larger tournaments will start appearing so check the Calendar screen often to stay updated. This tournament has a limited number of players, so those who wish to participate with their friends and clans should not delay in securing spots.
We are also looking to name each of the regularly scheduled tournaments, suggestions are welcome but are limited to a 15 character maximum.
