This article will be an update to communicate recent and new developments as we head closer to organizing a LAN for RGL Invite 6s Season 15 and the Open Tournament on July 20-21, 2024.

The venue will offer us enough PCs to run a 12-team Open Tournament in addition to the 4-team Invite Playoffs. The venue will also have a main stage for Invite playoffs with dedicated seating for spectators for a greater viewing experience.

Philly 6s LAN Open Tournament

Team registrations for the LAN have sold out. You can still purchase a spectator pass here if you want to attend!

The RGL 6s Philly LAN Open Tournament will take place at LAN and will give non-Invite Playoffs players a chance to play with teammates and friends in person! A maximum of twelve teams will be allowed to participate. Accepted teams will be determined on a first-come-first-serve basis, so sign up as soon as possible with your team of six with your fees paid if you want to participate. Teams will be assigned a set of six computers at Localhost Philly for the Tournament on Saturday and Sunday.

NOTE: You must be on a registered team in the tournament to participate and also take advantage of the computer-free time outside of the tournament. LAN fees are also non-refundable.

Maps will be determined using pick/bans and will follow the Advanced map pool for RGL Sixes Season 15.

As this is an Open Tournament, no class restrictions will be placed on any players, and the twelve teams will be split into three non-skill-based divisions (four teams per division). All teams in each division will play six best-of-one map group stage matches (double round robin). For playoffs, Div-1 has all 4 teams in their own playoff bracket (group stage round robin to determine seeding), Open Group Red has the top 2 seeds enter the Open playoff bracket (#1 is the 1st seed and #2 is the 2nd seed for playoffs), and Open Group Blue has top 2 seeds enter the Open playoff bracket (#1 is the 3rd seed and #2 is the 4th seed for playoffs). Final rankings will be determined by the percentage of rounds won.

NOTE: The plan is to have Open Group Red’s skill level be similar to Open Group Blue’s when placing teams.

• Team Registration closes: Monday, July 8th @ 11:59 PM EDT

• Division Placements, Matches Scheduled: Wednesday, July 16th

Day 1 will cover the first round and semifinals of playoffs and day 2 will cover the lower bracket finals and grand finals.

• For the Open Tournament, day 1 will be for group stages and round 1 of playoffs, and day 2 will cover the 3rd place match and grand finals.

Updates to Open Tournament LAN Structure

We managed to secure 6 more PCs for Day 2 of the Open Tournament, allowing us to have 8 teams participate in playoffs, which was our original goal. This means we have a total of 48 PCs for Day 2. Here is the updated structure that we will be using for the Open Tournament:

Day 1 - Group Stage Structure

• 3 groups (Div-1, Open Group Red, and Open Group Blue). Group stages consist of 3 groups with 4 teams each and they do the double round-robin for a total of 6 matches.
• Teams will complete pick/bans to determine maps played using the Invite/Advanced Season 15 Map Pool for the group stage rounds.

NOTE: Priority is to have teams complete their pick/bans online before the LAN starts to help matches start faster during Day 1. This will discussed in more detail when matches get scheduled.

Day 2 - Playoff Structure

• Div-1 has all 4 teams in their own playoff bracket (group stage round robin to determine seeding)
• Open Group Red has top 2 seeds enter the Open playoff bracket (#1 is the 1st seed and #2 is the 2nd seed for playoffs)
• Open Group Blue has top 2 seeds enter the Open playoff bracket (#1 is the 3rd seed and #2 is the 4th seed for playoffs)

NOTE: The plan is to have Open Group Red’s skill level be similar to Open Group Blue’s when placing teams.

LAN Team Registration Priority

There is a maximum of 12 teams that can register and participate in the Open LAN Tournament. Please note the following:

• We will place priority on the first 12 teams that have 6 players rostered AND have fully paid up their LAN fee.
• LAN fees are non-refundable so teams must commit if they are participating.

NOTE: Season 15 Invite teams are welcome to register, but must give up their spot if they do make Invite Playoffs.

Several important updates/news with the Open Tournament:

• We have reached 12 team signups for the Open Tournament with 1 team on standby. This means that there are no more remaining spots left. Note that if a spot opens up (e.g. one of the 12 teams decides to no longer go) then we will offer the spot to the next team on standby.
• Team placements have been done for the Open Tournament which can be viewed here. Another update post will be made once all matches are scheduled to allow teams to complete their pick/bans for each of the group stage matches before the LAN.
• A correction has been made to Open Group A and Open Group B - the group skill level of both is similar. This is because the two groups are merging into one in the playoffs (the top 2 from each group make playoffs). Doing this helps to ensure that we can have a 4 team playoffs for this Open group and that the top 2 from each group are comparable in skill level.

If you are still interested in attending the LAN, we are still selling spectator passes which you can purchase on the RGL site here.

Matches for the Open Tournament of the RGL LAN have been scheduled for all 12 teams participating.

Please note that teams can start completing map picks/bans for each group stage right now. The purpose of this is to reduce delays that come with pick/bans so teams do not have to do this in person at the venue.

Seating Chart

The document above explains how the seating chart for players and spectators will be organized.

For players, the LAN will consist of four areas:

On the stage: Section A (Red) Section B (Yellow)

LAN Rules

The purpose of this document is to detail what is expected of players at any RGL in-person LAN event. The rules will be enforced at the administrator’s discretion, and these rules serve as a guideline for how these decisions are made. We strive to have a fair and balanced ruleset, so note these rules are subject to change.

[6006.2] - Match Server has been updated to clarify that LAN admins will handle the RCON and execute the maps and configs on the servers for the teams. Previously, this was handled by the teams/players themselves.

[6006.4] - LAN Map Selection has been added to clarify the rules regarding the LAN map selection process and the timing of map pick/ban selections for the event which can operate on a much tighter schedule than the normal online playoffs.

LAN POV Demos

Players attending the RGL LAN (Invite Playoffs or Open Tournament) are expected to upload all POV demos for each match to the shared Google Drive folder provided to teams for LAN.

There will be an RGL LAN Discord that LAN admins will be using to work with players to ensure the Google Drive for each player is setup.

Draft Cup Conclusion

Thanks to all the players for participating in the event and everyone who came out to support the fundraiser.

We managed to raise $1,836.82 so far in the cup! Proceeds will go to help cover the expenses of the teams attending the LAN.
