The Fifith Tronic Ladle will be played on Sunday 4th November with the finals at 9pm GMT (US: 5pm EDT, 3pm MDT, 4pm CDT, UK: 10pm BST, DE: 23:00 CEST).

== Stages ==

=== Stage 1 ===

This will allow time for admin to copy out the provisional bracket list, and allows all players to know who they are expected to play and where well before time.

=== Stage 3 ===
'''Team-Captains register their teams at [[IRC Channel|IRC Armagetron]] at 7pm gmt and confirm readiness to play.'''

Before the first round, all Team-Captains should familiarise themselves with IRC using one of the web interfaces such as [http://www.armagetron.nixda.net/cgi-bin/irc.cgi?adv=1 '''Joda's web interface'''] or [http://www.irc4u.com/?irc_server=irc.freenode.org%3A6667&irc_channel=%23armagetron%2C+%23arma-ladle wrtlprnft's interface].

Team-Captains return to their teams and confirm who they are playing and where.

=== Stage 4 ===
'''Teams assemble at the appointed server for their game, and play the best of 3 matches.'''

The final is at 9pm GMT, Semi's at 8.15pm GMT, Quarter's at 7.30pm GMT, and additional '''rounds every 45mins''' before for as many rounds as required.

=== Stage 5 ===
Winners of the final are celebrated, and all participants are congratulated!

Hurrah! Feedback is welcome to improve the system for the next time. Reports on game play, video's, etc, also invests more value in the game.

== Guidelines ==

The following guidelines for all players may prove useful:
*Only Team-captains should alter the provisional play-offs in the Challenge Room.
*During the event, do not listen to anyone external to your team; rely on your Team-captain for information as to who you are playing and where.
*Regarding ping, make sure your team-captain is aware of your server preference when s/he enters your team in the Challenge Board.
