That is realy not an option, or are you talking about brackets, like 8 teams in each RR bracket, and lets say the 4 or 2 best teams go on to the finale RR round.. hmm, that did sound like fun, and if it was not what you wore talking about, then I have to say thanks for putting my brain in highgear..

I think maybe that might be a great solution, because then the teams that startet bad and don't have anything to play for (that may not be true btw, depends on if I get what I have asked for, hint hint) would not have to play 15 rounds and 45 games, just 7 and 21 instead..

I will do some work on this tomorrow and send a PM to the "teamleaders" and ask if they would like that change instead..

Why not just start all 45 (or however many) games at the same time? Might be a game or two more than some want to play concurrently but if everyone gets on with it the tourney could be over in a couple of weeks!

Even though we should knock most opponents off without too much difficulty perhaps a 30 round or even a 50 round limit would be better? Better to wipe out the opposition rather than mucking about having to cover their desperate reinforcing of one player at the end to try to win on individual troop count :-0

Are you volunteering to pay for all the therapy sessions I would need?

if I change it to all games at once, I will loose atleast 10 of the teams (including my team), so no way
and with just 1.round pr batch 20 is the best number, and the games (most of them) will probably be decided even before that..

The tourney is really just a vehicle for everyone in it to collect some wins towards the rarer medals (good concept) so I'm happy with the boost in team numbers to 16.

One radical idea though....how about each match-up is just 2 games instead of 3? This way you eliminate one third of all the games that would have to be played (a big difference) and the likelihood is a lot of the match-ups will end in 1-1 ties (which is no problem as it is 'unique opponents' that we all need to be beating). Winning a 2nd game (or even a 3rd) against the same oppo counts for nothing in terms of medal hunting. So, food for thought.....2pts for a win and 1pt for a draw (for tourney purposes).

Ok, I agree with youre assement that its a vehicle etc, but in any tournament you sign up too, you want to win, heck even every game is like that for me

and I am realy not too keen about youre idea with 3 games I guees almost 75% of the series is going to be 2-1, and with 2 games I am afraid we would have a similiar number for 1-1 (it would be okey if this was JUST for the medals, but I want the tourney to be exiting, and IMO it would be so much better with series won, and no draws, maybe if I make volume 2 a football (soccer) type tourney, it would work better)..

But thanks chariot for youre thoughts, I appreciate it, I always want to try and make my tourneys better and better..

Okey, so this is now full, but just sign up, I might need a reserve team..

One team raised some doubts about playing when it had gone from 8 to 16 teams, sendt the teamleader a pm, and he said he was going to talk to his teammates, I have not heard back from him yet..

But I am going to send a pm to each of the 15 other teamleaders (the ones who signed there team up), and just get the confirmation before I ask for privliges, incase I have to replace a team..

I will also ask which format they want, 16 team RR, or 2 RR groups of 8 each where the 4 best teams from each group meet in a 8 team RR finale..

I will get invites for round 1 games out either today or tomorrow.. there are 24 games each round and 192 invites, so I guees it will take me atleast 30min.. so I am not sure wtf I have gotten myself into, lol

General Achievement Medals will be awarded to the team with the longest win streak.

Winstreak = series (rounds) won in a row.. to have it be "game winstreak" would make it realy complicated, and would probably make for some staling etc..
The tiebreaker rules for the ga medal is as follows :
1. 2.longest streak.
2. If there is still 2 teams tied, then it will be played a one games tiebreaker with the same settings for the ga medal.
If there is more then 2 teams tied, then it will be 3.logenst streak etc, untill there is only one or 2 teams left..


I have also sendt out invites for round 2, and I have decided to send out a new round every other 2 weeks, so this will not take forever.. after 2 week most games are anyhow over/decided, so I hope that will not be a problem for anyone..

hi kingm, one of our players, gambler has left CC and we would like him to be replaced by therev1957, can you send invites to him for fture rounds? thanks

hey sorry kingm; in the end, gambler is not taking a break from cc and told me he is all good to play future rounds. you can send invites to the original team!

We had a team where 1 team member did not accept theire invites for round 2 (Team 8 in group 1), but then we just have to go ahead with 1 less team..

I am making the games for round 3 now and the invites are coming out in the next hour.. gl guys!

ps. sorry for the dealy in getting the next round out, have been away on vacation, and things are just now getting back to normal, from now on I will get a new round out every other 2 weeks..

the score will be updated when all the games in each round is complete, started to update but it was just messy when there was so many unfinished games,,

Thanks mate, trying my best
would be so much less jobb runing big tourneys if lack did something with the invite system, it take some time sending out almost 200 invites pr round

well that will make it complicated for the win streak thingy... do we all have one lesser game in group 1, or will it be counted as a victory each time we are supposed to meet them? either way it will be a bit unballanced between each group?

also don't worry, we are still playing some round 1 games here, and still have our 3 round 2 games on!

I am well aware of that betiko, so I have been thinking about how to make it fair for everyone, and I am not sure yet, but anyhow, we have good time to decide whats best for everyone. this tourney will take atleast 3-4 months, probably longer

Does this mean Team 8 have actually dropped out of the tourney altogether? If not then I guess it's never too late to create those Round 2 games is it? If however they have withdrawn then I guess the only way to resolve it is to annul all their results and have one team in Group 1 receive a bye each round. Or find a replacement team?

This is what happend, I sendt out the invites for round 2 like a month ago, 3 of the 4 players accepted, sendt invite number 2 the next day to the player who did not accept, and then I went on vacation, and I only had time to take my turns on my (70-80 active games) when I was visiting my father in Paris, when I came back home I looked over my tourneys and saw that those games had not started, so I decided to send a 3.invite to the same player, and even sendt a pm to the teamleader of team 8, and asked him if knew why his teammember did not accept his invites, and if he had a replacement for him, that was like a week ago, the player did not accept again, and I have not heard back from quark stark..

So thats why I decide to withdraw there team, and annul their result will not be hard because they went 0-3 in round 1, and yes I have allready started to give one team a bye for each round in group 1..

so realy the only issue is how to make the GA medal competion fair for everyone, I am kind of leaning towards that the bye counts as a series win, thats probably easiest, not sure if its realy fair for the teams in group 2..

anyone have any good suggestions?

I'd have thought by virtue of the fact they went out so early that it's more practical to assume they never existed in Round 1 (and the team that played them is given a bye for that round) rather than award 7 x 3-0 victories to all the teams in Group 1 (which would be rather unfair to all those in Group 2).

A replacement team would be the best solution (and the Round 1 result can then stand). Would this be acceptable if one could be found immediately?

Just looked over my own rules, and that "point carry over shit", that I like so much in tourneys with more "rounds", kind of screwes this up.. because like you said 7 x 3-0 victories is unfair for group 2, but then again to scratch them is unfair for group 1.

yes replacement team is the best solution its fine with me..
never done that before (just had reserves etc, but did not get any here), is it not a thread or something I can ask for players..

probably easy to find the thread, getting a team might be harder..

Edit : done, lets see if we get some response
