Summary of the event:

The Dungeon Dojo Invitational is a friendly, community-driven competition where teams from the Dungeon Dojo challenge themselves. It is a tiered event for teams to showcase their skill for bragging rights and personal bests.
There are two major divisions: the competition brackets and the exhibition showcase. The competition brackets are scored and ranked, while the exhibition showcase is for fun and personal bests.

Competition Tournament Play

• For the competition bracket, winners will be determined via a predetermined scoring
  system, tracked through leaderboards.
• Live Realm Characters will be used and teams will be live-logging through the Raider.IO desktop client for accurate tracking.
• Teams are seeded into brackets based on the team's median IO score. Placement in the brackets will be determined once registration is closed and will be announced via the Dungeon Dojo Discord.
• Teams sign up for one out of four, 4-hour event windows:

  • 25 Jan 2025 15:00 CET
  • 25 Jan 2025 19:00 CET
  • 25 Jan 2025 23:00 CET
  • 26 Jan 2025 03:00 CET

Rule book

• Each team consists of six players. Players are free to use any of their specs but not
  switch characters after team registration is complete.
• Each team is allowed one attempt. Teams have 4 hours to complete as many dungeons as possible, as long as the dungeon starts in that 4 hour period. There is no cap on the amount of breaks that a team wants to take during their attempt.
• The top 5 highest-scoring dungeons will be counted, whatever gives the most score. (multiple of the same dungeons will count if they have the highest score).
• Teams must be using the Raider.IO desktop client for the competition brackets. Go to https://raider.io/addon to download the app.
• Starting keys are determined by league, which will be announced at a later date.
• Your team will be assigned a Discord channel in the Dungeon Dojo Discord. Your
  scorekeeper will be watching this channel for you to state when you are starting your run, key completion updates, breaks, etc.
• Teams will select a keyholder and push that keyholder’s key. There is no changing of keyholders once the attempt begins. The team’s attempt will be complete when the keyholder leaves.

Scoring System:

• The competition bracket will use the baseline Blizzard/Raider.IO scoring for each key, including overtime points, chesting, etc.

Competition Brackets

• Bracket placement is determined by the current median team score of the main players. Starting key for each bracket TBD.

  • Dornogal - TBD
  • Oribos - TBD
  • Valdrakken - TBD
  • Dalaran - TBD

Exhibition Showcase: Darkmoon Faire - All Vibes, No Scoring

This showcase invites players to engage in a laid-back, enjoyable environment, free from competitive pressure. This showcase focuses on teams creating their own challenges for themselves. In order for it to be streamed, it has to be done in the event window. Here are some ideas:

• Who Needs A Healer? Create teams of 5 tanks, 5 shamans or 5 DKs, whatever class comp you want, mix it up, and see how far a different group can get
• Self-Imposed Affixes: Play with no UI, run the dungeon in first-person only view, pan that camera up.
• Role Reversals: Have your team swap roles mid-dungeon to experience the game from a new perspective.
• Student Teams: For novice players, team up with a Dojo sensei and go for your personal best!
• Speed Runs: Push your team to complete dungeons as quickly as possible.

Conduct
