Hello Shotbow!
We are happy to announce this new edition of the Annihilation 1v1 Tournament! In this post you will find all the information related to the tournament, so be sure to read everything carefully!
Discord
Once your clan has registered in this post, the clan leader will receive an invitation to the new Official Discord of the Tournament. All necessary information will be sent directly to this server, including game schedule, tournament internal rules and more. Please note that each clan will receive an invitation link with a maximum of 13 uses. When joining the server, the player must verify which clan he/she belongs to.
Participation
As in the previous tournament, we will allow each clan to present a roster of 13 players, but only 10 will play. This means that you can have 3 substitute players. We will not allow players to play in more than one clan during the tournament, which includes the use of alternate accounts. If we catch you doing this, your accounts will be banned and the clans involved will be penalized with points or even disqualified. However, we will investigate before making a decision.
Games & Formatting
We will keep the same format of the previous tournament, we will start with a group stage and then play the knockout stage and have a grand final to define the champion. We want to start in February, the staff that will host the tournament will give a series of schedules depending on our availability (we will take into consideration the different time zones) and there will be a period of one week for the leaders of both clans to choose a schedule, if after this time there is no agreement, the staff will impose a schedule for the following week, we do this in order to not extend the tournament too much (there may be exceptions in some cases, it must be previously discussed with the staff). The games will be held on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
In the group phase, each winning clan will score 3 points, in case there is a tie at the end of a group, the team with the highest nexus difference will qualify (original nexus damage, not including Handyman points).
Class Ban System (new)
In this edition we are implementing a class ban system. Swapper will be banned during the whole tournament. Additionally, when clan leaders schedule a game, each clan leader will be responsible for banning one class of their choice. As a result, Swapper and two other classes will be banned for their match, for a total of three banned classes. The banned classes will be set right after the clans agree on a playing time, this means that clans will have time to think about a method of play based on the banned classes. We want to see new strategies in this edition and we think it will be an interesting feature to see!

Happy Holidays, Survivors!
The time has finally come. We’ve been hard at working baking gingerbread houses, hanging lights and layering locations in tons of snow!
The team is excited to welcome you to this year’s MineZ: Wonderland.
Walking in a Winter Wonderland
It wouldn’t be a Winter Wonderland without decorated towns filling the world. Over the last years we’ve accumulated an impressive amount of Christmas themed rebuilds. At our present count, we have over 30 we can release. Given the large amount of Christmas builds we have, we thought it might be best to try out a new system of Holiday festivities. Suggested by community members, we’ll be phasing in builds this year, instead of releasing them all at once.
This first update releasing today will feature 11 builds, with expected tourist hotspots at the far northern locations. The next wonderland update will see another batch of Christmas locations. Each phase of the rollout will see chest placement change just a bit, to incentivize moving your route towards the new Christmas locations.
A visit from a Friend:
Our good friend the Traveling snowman has returned to Valar. He brings with him a bounty of exciting, exclusive and useful items for anyone that he bumps into. This year, chest tiers will be the same on both weekends and weekdays to ensure everyone has a chance for top chests regardless of time. Remember to check times with ./drops.
Treat Chest Schedule:
Monday 4PM EST
Wednesday 9AM EST
Friday 9PM EST
Saturday 4PM EST
Sunday 12AM EST
Sunday 9AM EST
Notifications:
At the scheduled start time, a server will be picked to host the traveling snowman, which will be followed by an announcement across MineZ and pinging the shotbow discord with its location and the countdown to the first chest spawn!
Keep your eyes peeled for more than yuletide carolers in the area, and head that way! These treat chests offer a large array of chests to try and claim, with close to 20 possible treat chests each drop.
Some will drop together, but more often than not, multiple chests in different areas of the supply drop will release together. There are 4 tiers to the chests this year as well, offering an assortment of regular minez loot all the way to exclusive, only found in supply drop loot.
In order to be pinged for supply drop spawns, make sure to assign yourself the 'supplydrops' role from #notifications in the official Shotbow discord! (https://discord.gg/shotbow)
The Present Headhunt
This year we are happy to bring another headhunt for those observant explorers among you. Hidden among the first Holiday rebuilds of this Wonderland update, you will find 11 red presents with yellow bows.
.
Some may be more obvious than others, but you’ll need to check each location twice! Who knows how long this headhunt will be up for, so don’t wait until the last minute!
As with previous headhunts, you can always check your total with ./checkheads. Here you can see how many you’ve collected and rewards from this headhunt.
The Advent Calendar
Similar to previous years, we have designed a series of rewards for all 24 days accessible via /advent! Items can be unlocked on the respective days up to EST midnight. Slots before release will remain claimable on any day.
Closing Thoughts
With all these opportunities for merry-making, we hope to see you stop by and take a stroll through MineZ, during the most wonderful time of the year.
There are certainly more events and christmas content drops planned for the rest of the month on MineZ.
As content like the much-anticipated Christmas dungeon becomes available, this thread and the changelog will be updated.
From our families to yours, we hope you have a safe and happy Holiday season.
As always, Thanks for flying Shotbow! (Vote for Shotbow!)
