Tournament #17 is starting today!

We got 277 lobby sign-ups! Today we are fighting for the famous BAVR Badge which will be attached to your name if you win the tournament and the following prizes:

- The winner gets a $29 Steam game prize, GR 250, the BAVR badge, and $1 Steam credits - The second place gets GR 150 - The third-place gets GR 75 - Every participant who completes the first round regardless of the result gets GR 20

Meanwhile, a quick tournament prep checklist:

1. Get the latest version from the store and check it in the game lobby, it should be 2.16.333.

2. Open the game at the specified time (7 PM ET) and join the tournament playground arena for a warm-up. Once your match is ready, you will be automatically sent to your game, no need to go to the lobby all the time to check. If your game is ready before joining the playground, the main orb will send you right there.

3. The tournament playground arena is now mandatory to join to check in for the tournament, you are automatically checked in on the first entry.

4. Latecomers are allowed while the first round is active (only) and they will be shuffled into additional matches of that round, please sign up and wait in the tournament playground arena.

5. Charge your headset and check controllers batteries, this is always a good thing to do.
