Take the Tour, The World's Hot Spots [Winner: Loose Canon]

[poptartpsycho18]

This is based on a tourney that I ran over 5 years ago that I am running parallel to this one. This is the original: Take the Tour, USA's Hot Spots

It is pretty much a race to get to the destination that is on the most recent "hot spots" list that I've found. Here are the rules:

1. You will be playing one game at a time. Freemiums are welcome but you must have a spot open to play. Just in case, I will send out a PM a few days before so that a spot can be freed to play.
2. The winner is the first person to get to the final destination. In order to move to the next location, you must win your game. No one gets booted from the tourney, you play your game and with every win you "take a flight" to the next destination on the Hot Spot list.
3. The games will be 1v1, a 20 or 30 round limit, winner moving onto the next destination on the list. All games will be on maps that feature part or all of the locations listed. My only limit is to exclude the really big maps: World 2.1 and USA 2.1 and certain maps that I elected to exclude. Some maps may not get played at all since there are so many to choose from.
4. I'll be generous and wait 72 hours for you to join your game. If you do not join by that time, you will be replaced by a reserve.
5. Settings will be: Standard 24hrs., 1v1, Seq. order, Chained or Adj. fortification, Foggy or Sunny (you never know if the weather will be nice or not) and Random Spoils.
6. I really would like participants to have no less than a 93% turn avg. in order to keep certain notorious deadbeaters from joining. Pairings will be randomly made by Random.org's list maker.

The maps themselves don't indicate location or have that purpose. They're being used because they have the destinations on them in one way or another, either partially or fully. Added to here.
