Well, what is the bar?
The bar is a set point total (not your CC score). After every round of games, the bar will rise. Anyone below at any point is eliminated. The winner will be the last person standing.
How do you get points?
Every player will start with 5 points. Points are given (or taken away) based on a players finish in a game. The tables for how points are given and taken away are below.
The bar will start at 2 points. The bar will rise by 1 point every round until there are 20 players left. The bar will then rise by 2 points every round and the points won and lost will be doubled until there are 10 players left. The bar will then rise by 3 points every round and the points won and lost will be triple their original amounts until a champion is crowned.
If the situation occurs that all players are eliminated in the same round, the round will be replayed.
What about the game settings?
The number of players will be based on how many players are left and how they can be most evenly distributed. For example, the first round will be a set of 5 player games. And when there are 23 players left, there will be three 6 player games and one 5 player game.
In cases where there are multiple ways to evenly distribute them, the way in which puts more players in less games will be taken (three 8 player games instead of four 6 player games).
For the first round, players will be randomly grouped. After that, they will be determined by seeding. The first place player in the standings will take the bottom X players, depending on how many are needed to fill the game. For example, in a 6 player game, 1st place will be playing against the bottom 5 players, 2nd place will be against the next bottom 5, etc.

Anyone is permitted to join. Freemiums are required to keep a spot open for their tournament games, as they will come one right after the other.
Seriously, you'll be eliminated. We want this tournament running smoothly.
