What does all the tournament terminology mean?
• Game: A single map played between two opponents. • Match: A set of games between two players. In the case of Season Three, the first player to win two games wins the match. • Bracket: A graphical representation of a “tree-style” tournament’s schedule. • Single-Elimination: A style of tournament where only the winners advance to the next round of play. The loser of any round is eliminated from the tournament. Season Three uses this tournament format. • Shoutcast: A live, internet radio broadcast of a game or match. During Season Three, Warcraft III community Shoutcast teams will provide coverage in several languages. • Seeding: This represents the players’ “rank” in the tournament bracket. Normally the top seeded players will have an advantage by playing a lower seeded player in the first round. In some tournaments, these pairings are chosen subjectively, but in the case of Season Three these are based on the players’ Battle.net ladder ranking. • Bye: Single-elimination style tourname
