This is a Tournament Players Association Year 3 (TPA3) event, and is governed by its rules, guidelines, and judgments which are detailed at http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=175675.
All are welcome to join and participate in the association. You need do nothing more than join one or more of the TPA3 events that will be announced each Monday. Check back on the scoreboard to see how you're doing:
Welcome to Elonpuckhog’s Battle for the Bonuses 2! We are looking for 16-32 players for this tourney.
MAPS AND SETTINGS: All games will be standard, auto, sequential, chained, foggy, no trench with a 20 round limit. During each round, you will play each of these maps once. All games will be 8 player games.
USA 2.1 (If available, if not available – USA Rockies)
ConquerMan
4 star meats (if not available, USA Great Lakes)
Hive
Spoils will be on a random basis, but will be consistent for all maps in a particular round to maintain fairness.
IN CASE OF A TIE: If two or more players are tied at the end of the round, the highest score in any individual game from that round will be the one to progress.
IF SOMEONE DOES NOT JOIN A GAME: Everyone will be given 24 hours to join their games. If someone does not join at least one game, I will PM them and give them 24 hours to respond to that PM and join the games. If they do not respond to the PM, or fail to join the games, they will be eliminated from the tourney.
If a person has already entered some games that round, and does not enter subsequent games in the same round, I will remake those games without that person. If a person does not enter any games in a particular round, I will look for a replacement in the first round only. Otherwise, I will remake the games without that person (ie these will be 7 player games).
FORMAT: This tournament is designed for 32 players. I am also willing to go for 24 or 16 players. In the first round, you will randomly be placed into 4 games (1 on each map as shown above). If we only get 16 players, the top 8 will progress to the final round, where each player will play another 4 games. If we start with 24 or 32 players, the top 16 will progress to round 2, and then the top 8 will progress to round 3. Scores will carry over round to round and the player with the most points at the end of the tourney will be declared champion.
SCORING: You receive one point for each troop you deploy each turn. Once you are eliminated, you earn no more points that game. If a game ends before the round limit, the winner will get an amount of troops equal to the amount shown in the troops due category for each round up to round 20. If you turn in a set of escalating or flat rate spoils, those will count as well.
AUTO DEPLOYS, DECAYS AND KILLER NEUTRALS: Auto deploys (troops automatically added to a particular region) will count for normal points. Similarly, negative bonuses (such as owning an alien in conquerman) will count against you. Killer Neutrals will not count against you since I won’t know how many you lost. Decays, if any, will count against you.
