	Teams are added to the Challenge Board until the cut off for provisional placement, which is currently 2:00 CET on Saturday before the event. This will allow time for server administrators to update their servers, teams to discuss strategy and players/enthusiasts to share their predictions on the forums if they wish to. In the event your team misses the sign up deadline, and one or more teams have a bye in the first round, you may ask the team with the first bye for permission to fill the open slot. If they refuse, go through the byes in order. Alternatively, a team can make a public appeal, but must take the lowest bye offered up. No team is under any obligation to give up a bye, and open slots are first come, first serve. ''Note: If your entire team does not show up for JTST, you may be subject to disciplinary action.''

	The majority of tournaments run smoothly, however, problems occasionally arise. Issues regarding settings, dates, and general management can be settled through post-JTST discussions. Any changes must be announced on the forums well before the next event to allow for problem solving. While success of the tournament is everyone's responsibility there is usually a core group of JTST enthusiasts who stay in close communication with each other, sometimes working behind the scenes. It is important for these persons to document everything and keep the tournament open and transparent.		The majority of tournaments run smoothly, however, problems occasionally arise.

-JTST Enthusiasts meet up on the official [[IRC Channel|#Armagetron]] IRC channel at 18:00 GMT the Thursday prior to the JTST to determine the brackets. Once on the IRC channel, one enthusiast will fill in the servers to play on, following these procedures -
+Teams meet at the designated servers and play the best of 3 matches.
 JTST Enthusiasts should record results on the brackets if Team Leaders fail to do so. [[Bracket Tutorial|Here's a crash course on how to update it efficiently]]. The brackets should be followed precisely unless there is a serious issue with the primary server. Team Leaders can discuss moving to the secondary server (examples: the majority of the players are from the same region and want to play on a closer server, or the primary server becomes unstable). ''Both teams must be in full agreement before switching servers.'' If no agreement can be reached then play must continue in the primary server. If there is no backup server (for instance, in the opening round) a public Trench server may be used if both teams agree. If a team tries to bully their opponent by refusing to play in the designated JTST server '''they are in forfeit'''. In the extremely rare case of a missing primary and secondary server, teams should be accommodating to each other and the rest of JTST by quickly moving their match to a public Trench server and making the best of the situation. Please be agreeable and stay on time.
