Hello BF3-Community, 
The European Football Championship is in full swing, so we thought, why not even organize an international tournament between the PlayStation communities? Here it is; we only play Battlefield 3 but on the principle of the EM. 
In each case, 12 players per community compete against the other community (Scandinavia: special rule, see below).
The following communities are participating: England, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Scandinavia, Portugal and Poland.
Rules and Tournament Schedule:
The Tournament is as follows:
At least one game per week should be played in each group! If all games finish before the expiration of the time, the next rounds will be preponed of course.
The captains of each community shall set a date after consulting their teams and run the games independently. If neither of the two teams have their own server, the tournament director (robbe1210) shall be informed over the desired schedule.
Anyone who owns Battlefield 3 can play because we only play normal maps. However, all maps are played hardcore mode only, which means you should train to make you familiar with the mode. It all depends on teamwork because team kills are possible.
The game only starts when the two captains give the starting signal. The captains come together in a text-chat!
