After the overwhelming response for the Noobs of AoC 3 graciously hosted by Pumukel and pvr_limb, we have decided with their permission of course to have a complimentary tournament for those who didn't quite make the cut.
Seeding will be announced in the upcoming days.
A list of the participants is attached. See below :D (The sub list minus Ivik...c'mon ivik. we all know you're too strong for this.. plus 5 randomly drawn participants)

Rules & Settings
In this 1vs1 Random Map Noob Tournament, every participant (16 slots in total) will have to play five matches (13-15 games in total). The first two matches take place in the Seeding Stage, where the opponents meet in Bo3s. Depending on which of the two matches are won or lost in the Seeding Stage, the participants enter one of four leagues (Militia League, Man at Arms League, Swordsman League, Champion League). Every league consists of four contestants and is played in a Round Robin format. NAoC 3 will have four winners. NAoC is played on Voobly.
Feel free to state any questions about the Rules and Settings below this post.

FREEDOM of MAP Principle
For any game at any stage any map can be played. But both players have to agree. As soon as one player doesn't agree, the map of the respective game has to be according to the match settings below. The set maps are exclusively standard maps. Players can also decide to play a map in Regicide or Deathmatch mode under the conditions of this principle. The random civs setting is indisputable for this tournament and hence not touched by the principle.
