Race Around The World! [Abandoned]

[lucabucci]

Welcome to lucabucci's Race Around The World!

As multiple games will be played at once this tournament is open to premium members only.

This tournament will be loosely based on the Clipper Round the World yacht race.

At the start of each leg of the race the 36 participants will be randomly split into 6 groups of 6. For each game you win your yacht will catch the ocean breezes needed to reach the finish line first! Bonuses are also up for grabs: the quicker each game is won the stronger the wind will blow and the further your yacht will go!

Automatic
Sequential

20 round game limit

All leg scores doubled on this leg.

At the start of each leg you will be sent invites to 3 games. The results of games 1 and 2 will be taken into account ahead of the result of game 3. If more games are needed to decide the winner of the leg these will be sent a game at a time.

Invites must be accepted within 48 hours or you risk being replaced by a reserve.

Scoring:

All legs are 7000 miles long.

For each game won: your boat gains 2500 miles
Finishing 2nd-4th: 500 miles
Finishing 5th or 6th: 200 miles

Bonuses:

Games won in less than 8 rounds: 400 miles
Games won in 8 rounds: 300 miles

I'm in, sounds fun. I assume when you say "the quickest winner" you mean in terms of turns taken, not number of hours to complete the game.
