We are now full. Everyone up to noddy_nuts is in. Everyone after will be placed in as a reserve. As we have 64 players we'll divide into 4 groups of 16 players each. The top 4 of each division will then advance to the final division. We will play a set a week until everyone has played everyone. Divisions will be randomly paired using random.org This tournament will take 30 weeks to finish. The first games will go out Monday to give time to prepare for everything. Each division will receive their games on a different day. Division 1 on Monday D2 on Tuesday and so on. This will be to avoid having to make 320 games in one day every week.

Enjoy all

All scorings have been doubled in order to make the bracket system I use easier.

Brackets have been added to the third post. The tourney is now ready to begin. Come Monday the first games will be sent out to division A.
Tuesday Division B will receive their games. Wednesday Division C will receive their games and finally Thursday Division D will receive their games. This schedule will continue for 15 weeks. At that point everyone in a division will have faced off against everyone else. After that the top 4 players in each division will advance to the finals. There will be a 2 week intermission in between the regular rounds and the finals. After that another 15 weeks of games will be played until we have our champion.

Hi there! Thanks for organizing this fun tourney.

When/Where do you post the "lucky number" for the current week?

I haven't made an official decision on when yet because both have their pros and cons. I'm pondering with Sundays because it's the day before the next week of games starts.

As for where they will be. They'll be put in the post with maps + settings. It'll be in the spoiler and the lucky game will be bolded with some some type of indicator after it saying something along the lines of lucky game.

Good question and thanks for asking it. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

Because the tournament is called Luck Favors Some, Not All I wanted more emphasis on the luck wins so I wanted them weighted heavier. Originally it was .5 for a tie 1 for majority win and 1.5 for luck win but the bracket website I use doesn't support halves in round robins so I doubled the original value for each type of win.

Today so I guess I can announce it now.
A list of games from 1-10 was placed into random.org and the luck game came out to be 6 for the first set of games.
