Log in as your in-game player (askbot auth) to fill in your availability.

5/24 players in full teams have committed their availability. A team is paired only if ≥3 members commit and share ≥4 common slots incl. ≥2 evening 🌙 (18–20h weekdays) or ≥2 weekend — otherwise it burns its joker, then forfeits. Teams hold 3-5 players; 3 play per match, the line-up is whoever is available at the scheduled slot.

✔ = committed · “marked (firm ✓)” = how many slots that player ticked — the exact slots stay private. Locks Sun Jul 26, 23:00 CEST.

Tiebreak (provisional): wins, then Buchholz (sum of opponents' wins). Joker byes count as neither win nor loss.

• Format: 3 vs 3, on a separate dedicated server (not the public game). Swiss league — 4 rounds, every team plays at least 4 matches (no knock-out after a single game), then the Top 4 advance to single-elim playoffs (semis + final).
• Match length goal: aim 60–90 minutes, hard cap around 2h. 3v3 is intense — long matches drain everyone.
• Register: click the button above, or askbot tt register in-game.
• Build a team: create one (you're captain), or wait for an invite. Captain invites with askbot tt invite <player>; invitees reply askbot tt accept <team>. Rosters hold 3 to 5 players — 3 play each match, up to 2 spares. The line-up is simply whoever is available at the scheduled slot, so spares fill the availability grid like everyone else. More spares = easier scheduling. Substitutes can be added at ANY time of the tournament, even on match day — they just need to be registered and Discord-linked (one team at a time; captains can kick to make room).
• Starter pack (identical for both teams, per player unless noted): 10 grenades · 3× the normal starting concrete · 10 burner miners · 10 furnaces · 200 power poles · 100 coal · 20 fish · boilers/steam power box (~11 MW per team) · electric-miner tech pre-unlocked. Laser bonus: the first laser turret a team places grants it a one-time +50 MW (supports late-game / rocket pushes).
• Movement boost: free concrete on the floor in the starting zone so builders move fast from minute zero — small thing, big QoL gain at the 3v3 scale.
• Biter AI: looking into the easy old biter AI variant (cojito's, already used on regular BB) — biter waves are more predictable early so teams can settle faster.
• Map rerolls (fully automated): the match map spawns 10 min before start and the reroll session opens — match players must be there to veto. Each team has 5 rerolls: any player of the match types askbot tt reroll in the game chat. Out of rerolls? Both teams typing askbot tt reroll-wtf rerolls again, as often as needed. Happy with the map? Both teams type askbot tt reroll-ok to lock it. At the scheduled hour, sides (north/south) are drawn randomly, players are moved onto their side and frozen (you can walk and plan; mining/building/crafting unlock at GO), then 10 minutes of prep — and GO. Both teams ready early? Both type askbot tt go during the prep to start immediately. If the map still isn't locked 30 min past the scheduled hour, the match is cancelled and both teams take a loss (bets refunded), so don't troll the reroll phase.
• Difficulty: custom 80% (between Easy and Normal). Ramp: from 60:00 difficulty rises +5%/min, slowing to +3%/min once either team has placed a laser turret — the clock itself ends matches around the 90-minute mark. Retroactive send: science sent early is automatically re-valued as difficulty ramps, so sending early vs late yields the same evolution (only threat timing stays a tactical choice). Rocket: launching counts as ×3 white-science value. All tech kept, all science tiers allowed. Rules are established; fine-tuning stays possible mid-tournament if something proves broken.
• Reward: every winning match pays 10c per player × 3 = 30c, auto-paid by the bot when the BB Bets winner-market for the match resolves.
• Scheduling (fully automated): a weekly availability grid (Doodle-style) on this site. Each player marks slots ✓ available / ~ if needed / ✗ no for the coming round. It locks Sunday 23:00 CEST, then the system auto-pairs teams (same win/loss bracket) and picks a time both teams can actually make — no captain has to chase anyone for a date. Fill it weeks ahead or round by round. Matches never overlap the weekend captain games (hard rule). Need to move a match? Your captain proposes a new slot from “Your matches” and the opposing captain accepts (grid slots only, server-conflict checked) — or, at match time, both teams type askbot tt postpone during the reroll session. Keep it exceptional: the joker and spares exist for a reason.
• Your part: mark at least 8 slots (4 firm ✓) each round — weekend-only players (NA timezones): marking all four weekend slots (3 firm ✓) counts as a full commitment — and make sure your team ends up with ≥4 common slots including ≥2 in an anchor band — either the evening band (the 18:00 weekday slot, highlighted in the grid) or the weekend slots (whichever fits your timezones; matches are actually scheduled on ANY slot both teams share, the band is just the eligibility anchor). Aim for 5+ commons incl. 3 in your band: that's what guarantees an opponent shares a slot with you. The bot only pings you if you haven't committed your grid. Each team has 1 joker for the whole tournament to skip a round (counts as neither win nor loss). Miss a round with no joker left = forfait that round.
• Timeline: practice server open now · the team list locks Sunday July 19, 23:00 CEST (with the round-1 availability lock — player registration and substitute additions stay open all tournament) · first matches week of July 20 · Swiss 4 weeks · playoffs → finale ~end of August. Scheduled in the gaps around BB Masters.
