Kotei Qualifier Tournaments (KQT)

Welcome to the Kotei season!
Team Gazeebo is proud to bring the 2010 Kotei to Manila!

During the months of February, March, April and May we will be holding qualifier tournaments. Winners of these qualifiers will win a free seat to the 2010 Kotei which is going to be held on June 12 & 13, 2010 at the elite Makati Sports Club.

How do these tournaments work?
The tournaments will be similar to the regular weekly tournaments that we run, except that the winner wins a free seat to the 2010 Manila Kotei. Of course there will be certain guidelines that we will be following for the tournament to be a qualifier for the 2010 Manila Kotei.

What are the requirements for the KQT?
Each tournament must have at least 16 players and will follow the new floor rules as stated by the L5R tournament guidelines. Of course, the more players in the tournament, the better the prizes and competition will be. For example, based on a 16 player tournament, having the entrance fee at 150.00, the winner would win the free seat to the Kotei while the 2nd place to 16th place will draft the booster packs.

What happens if I win a KQT?
If you defeat the other players in the field of battle, your entrance fee to the 2010 Manila Kotei will be waived, saving you money in the process.

What happens if I win and I am not able to attend the 2010 Manila Kotei?
The free seat to the Kotei is unfortunately, non-transferrable. You earned that slot, not them.

What happens if I already have a seat courtesy of the KQT and I win another KQT?
The seed will pass onto the 2nd place finisher. This is the only way a seed can be passed onto another player. If both the winner and the 2nd place already have their seed, it will continue to pass down the rankings until we give the seed to an individual who has not yet won a free seed.

How many seeds will you give away?
Well, the name of the game is Legend of the Five Rings. To correspond with the 5 elements involved in the game, we will give away 5 seeds in the metro during the months leading to the 2010 Manila Kotei. Each month will feature 1 KQT. There will also be a last chance qualifier tournament to be held on June, the week before the 2010 Manila Kotei.

Which stores will hold a KQT?
We will be picking different stores each month where we will hold the KQT. This is a great opportunity to meet new players, and fight on new battlefields. If you cannot attend the scheduled KQT for the month, don’t worry. Like previously mentioned, there will be a total of 5 KQTs to be held.

I live outside Manila, will my region have a KQT?
Please ask your local store/organizer to contact Team Gazeebo so that we can coordinate a KQT for your region.

Where can I see the updates on when and where the KQTs will be held?
Look for the KQT announcements over at the official L5R Philippine Forums (http://l5r.skillze.com) and at the Edge of Rokugan (http://l5rph.blogspot.com).
