Rundown:

Basically, you post in the thread with said requirements as an entry. These will be hosted once every week on a set date and time to be pre-determined at the end of the last played competition. Players will report to a chat channel about 10 minutes prior to the set match time. We'll have a program that all the contestants that had reported to the chat channel at the scheduled time will be submitted into, it'll randomize the players and the first 10 will be invited to the game lobby. We'll use the in-game team randomizer to pick the teams. It'll be a five versus five Captain's Mode match. The Captain will be determined by the team, if no consensus is met then the competition regulator will designate a Captain. If a team loses they'll be eliminated for the night. When a team wins they'll remain in the pot of names to play until only a single team has been deemed victorious. If there happens to be an odd amount of players, they'll be randomized and one versus one Mid Only matches will be played until only 5 players remain. The five remaining players will each be deemed a winner in the thread and each be tallied in the list of victors with one ticket. Tickets can be redeemed whenever, in up to a quantity of five tickets, you can only redeem one prize per week.

Now, some after remarks...

My reasoning behind limiting the games played to at least 100 would be to assure that the players being submitted in the competition will know the basics and have experienced some gameplay. This way each team doesn't have a complete dead weight and be eliminated basically on the premise that it was a four versus six.

There would have to be a designated regulator each week, to make sure there is an unbiased final word. This would also make things go faster, and to have someone to eject unsubmitted players, as well as remove players that're throwing matches or assaulting their team mates or just being overall inappropriate.

The idea behind a strong English base is that this is primarily an English accommodating community, the regulator will without a doubt be an English speaking person, and it will ensure team communication on a certain level. Communication is key, and that's why a microphone would be required.
