Hi guys, I would like to get things started by announcing 2020 GRD 500 Divisional Halo 5 Guardians Tournament.

We are starting to switch up the normal tournament format from the classic Neophyte bouts to a divisional style tournaments to make the
skill pool abit more consistent and fair.

Now this tournament will be a (Class Restricted Tournament)  this means, only participants from this community and their correlating ranks will be allowed to take part. In this case the class restriction is from 490 - 900, that means if you are 489 and 901 you will not be eligible for this
particular tournament. (This Class Bracket, has a completely different tournament bracket and format. Results will be in a Ladder)

Thanks @Yoku,

Just to clarify will this have any effect on the CONTENDERS for 2020 if so how much is the weighting.
Are we running the contenders the same time as this tournament.
I thought we are running the HCS Map variant for Eden. 

Cheers,
