POINT GRABBERS I [CHAMPION: spidey]

Inaugural Point Grabber Tournament

Alright folks, I am completely addicted to running tournaments now, so this one is a smaller one, fast and furious, for the distinct purpose of providing the opportunity for small risk and high potential gain.

This tournament will feature 1 vs. 1 games on smaller maps with Flat Rate cards and Adjacent fortifications (in order to eliminate the 'first turn' advantage so thoroughly discussed in the forums).

First Round: Ireland, Flat Rate, Adjacent
Second Round: USA, Flat Rate, Adjacent
Semi-finals: Asia, Flat Rate, Adjacent
Finals: Ancient Greece, Flat Rate, Adjacent

First round play will be seeded 1 through 16 based upon current score at the time registration is full. PM's will be sent to all players announcing their games when play is ready to begin. All players will have 48 hours from the time a PM is sent to enter their game.

Any players may join, premium or non-premium however, play will be scheduled to start no later than June 19th (possibly sooner) so any non-premium player will need to have one open slot by then. All first round games will be completed before the second round commences.

Reserve players will be accepted in case of anyone taking more than 48 hours to join their appointed game.

The point of this tournament is to give some lower ranked players the chance to prove their skill and grab a few points from others to try and gain some respect. Because it is single elimination you really will have to be good to win and if you do, nobody can claim you won't deserve the points you earned.

Think about it, at worst you lose 20-25 points, at best you walk away with something like 80-100 added to your score. It seems like a good idea to me!

I have completed the seeding for the tournament as I write this. I will be creating the games and sending out PM's to the players within the next couple of hours. You will have 48 hours from the time I send the PM to join the game, or you will be replaced by a reserve player.

Optimus Prime · Post by **Optimus Prime** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 6:42 pm

PM's have been sent to all players, please join as soon as you are able. Have fun stealing points from each other! :lol:
