is this tournament dead?

I'll be rescuing this. I just need a few days to get organised.

[spoiler=original post]

So I came up with a new idea: How about a series of 64 tournaments, of varying format and on varying boards, each with a theme? The winner of each gets to participate in the GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP, a NCAA basketball style tournament, with predetermined settings for each matchup! Win more than one, find yourself on multiple bracket lines and more chances to win it all. The winner of tournament 1 will get first pick of the 64 slots, tournament 2 second pick, and so on. Some tournaments will have teams, some singles. Some have Fog related settings, some Spoils settings, some on certain boards, some on any board.

Info about the Grand Finale and about the Series is available here: http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=140939

This tournament, the 8th in the series, is about fighting wars. In each round, you will fight an opponent in seven wars. Whoever wins four of the seven wars will be crowned the victor and advance. Lose four of seven wars, and you will surrender your way out of the tournament. Since these are wars, Fog of War will always be in effect. The player trailing going into any match within a best of seven may alter one setting of their choice from the default (listed below), but FOG must stay on. To do so, please post it in the game chat of the previous game as soon as (or before) it is finished. The default progression of a series is as follows (order of settings is deploy, turns, cards (N=Nuclear, O=No Cards), reinforcements, fog):

1 - Peloponnesian War, ASEUF
2 - Feudal War, ASECF
3 - 13 Colonies, ASEAF
4 - Texan Wars, ASFCF
5 - American Civil War, ASECF
6 - Operation Drug War, ASNUF
7 - Lunar War, ASNUF

Win five best of seven series to be crowned the champ and get a spot in the Grand Finale.

The invitations for the first game in Round 4 have been sent out. I'll be sending a PM later today to see if you guys want to play more than one game at a time.

[Dukasaur]

The invitations for the first game in Round 4 have been sent out. I'll be sending a PM later today to see if you guys want to play more than one game at a time.

Okay, three out of four players expressed a willingness to play any number of games. One of the four suggested playing the first four games at once, and then the last three games. That being the most conservative option chosen, that's what we'll do.

Games 2 to 4 have been created and invitations sent out.

[Dukasaur]

Both series are at 3-1, so I'll create one more game in each for now, and if it doesn't look decisive I'll create the last two next week.

[Dukasaur]

chapcrap and M.K.C88-90 have each won 4 games in round 4 and advance to the Final.

I'll send out the Final in 3 batches: 3 games now, 2 more games on Friday or Saturday, and the last 2 (if necessary) sometime next week.

[Dukasaur]

second installment of the Finals is out.

[Dukasaur]

Last two games of the Final have gone out! Go for the gusto, guys!

[Dukasaur]

The last two games are still ongoing, but chapcrap has won 4 of the 5 games that are complete, and can no longer be caught. I therefore declare him the winner of this tournament!



Congratulations Chapcrap!
