8 Man Madness! [Winner: colson]

[Gilligan]

Congrats to colson on being the winner of this tournament!

This tournament will run the same way 3 Man Madness! and 4 Man Madness!, but with a few changes that will make the tournament more efficient.

There will be 4 groups of 8, randomly assigned,using http://www.random.org. Those 8 players will play every map, in a 8 player game, standard, sequential, escalating, unlimited. The Age of Realms maps and the Feudal War map will split your group randomly into 4, for a 4 player game on those maps. The 2 players with the most wins in their group will do the same thing over again, only this time you play the other winners of each group. You must be a premium member. Please, I ask one thing: Only join this tournament if you plan on being here for a long time. I do not want to be here, replacing people in the finals and such. Here's the big part: Maps. Each Sunday you will get 6 new games. I'd be surprised if you had more than 25 at one time. If at any point mid-round there are Quenched maps, they will not be added. If they are Quenched before the launch, they will be added. This is what caused 4 Man Madness! so long to end. The Foundry was working faster than the games were being played. Then, for the Finals, the maps on the site before the Finals start are the only ones to be included.

I've saved a spot for previous Man Madness winners, but if they do not reply by the time it fills, their spots will be taken.

Wins are recorded in parentheses (You get points by winning games). Under each group, you'll see (Number)/(Number). The first number is how many games are finished, the second is how many games I started for that group. There is also a sheet expressing the maps and who won what.

That depends on your play.

Are 8 player games harder for you to win than 4 player? Vice versa?

I think this one will be a little harder to win, personally.
