This is a 1 vs. 1 singles tournament that will follow the NFL football season. 32 players…one for each of the 32 NFL teams. Tournament is open to freebies and premium players, I just ask that freebies keep pace with play…several maps each week.
I’ve invited the 12 playoff qualifiers from last year with a chance to return as their teams. This hold will be lifted after the first 24 hours of sign-ups (those teams have an * next to them.
GAME PLAY
All games are SEQUENTIAL…other than that all settings are accepted…and all maps are in play except for the Age of Realms series and small maps such as Doodle Earth and Duck & Cover.
• The “Special Teams” showdown will be played on a different predetermined map for each week of the season…settings will be chained, flat, sunny for those matches. Maps for each week are listed at the end of this post.
SCORING
A scoring formula (see below) will reward players for quick victories and accomplishing various other tasks during each quarter of play. Each game will be broken into four quarters (four maps) along with a special teams battle.
That makes five total maps to decide each “game”, however total points will be used to determine the official winner — it will be possible for a team to win just 2 of the 5 maps and still come out in front. Although I would expect winning 3 of 5 maps would most often land you a victory.
• In the case of overtime...each team will face off on the special teams map. A win in 12 rounds or less gives you the winning points…if the overtime map goes 13+ rounds then that game will end in a tie. (ties not allowed in playoffs, of course).
SEASON
The season will follow the NFL schedule with a new game each week…16 games in the regular season…every team has a bye week at some point. The playoffs also follow the NFL format with the top six NFC teams and the top six AFC teams going to the postseason.
The winner of the Super Bowl will be declared the winning team for this tournament.
SCORING SYSTEM
This system is basically designed to reward players for quick victories and to give the losing player a bonus if they are able to extend play and accomplish some things in a loss.
