GAME FORMAT:
All games will be 1v1, played on the Classic map; required settings: sequential and automatic.
Each player will submit his or her "home settings", which consist of spoils, foggy/sunny, and reinforcements. For the sake of keeping the tournament moving, no nukes, please.
TOURNAMENT FORMAT:
16 entrants split into 4 groups of 4 via random.org.
Each group of 4 will play a double round robin; one game on each person's settings.
No tiebreakers in the first round; anyone in the lead or tied for the lead of their group at the end of the first round will advance to the final group.
The final group will be another double round robin. Standings will reset; first round scores do not carry over.
If any group of 2 or more players is tied for the lead after the finals, they will play extra double round robins until the tie is broken.
[spoiler=Example]Players A, B, C, and D are in group 1.
There will be 12 games played in group 1:
A plays B on Classic map with A's home settings.
A plays B on Classic map with B's home settings.
A plays C on Classic map with A's home settings.
A plays C on Classic map with C's home settings.
etc.[/spoiler]
There will be more than 4 games going out at a time; so, premiums only, please. Any game not joined within 24 hours will be deemed a forfeit. I will use reserves to replace deadbeats in round 1 only.
To sign up, please post to this thread with your favorite settings to use on the Classic map. Default settings, if you don't include them, will be escalating, chained, and sunny.
I hope to make this into a series across a variety of maps (hence the #1 in the title), so feedback is appreciated!
