Herr's 8 Player Escalating Tourney [Winner: Silvertop]

[HerrHitzfeld]

Congratulations to Silvertop for a hard-fought victory!

Howdy Folks!

I'm going to need 32 players for this tournament plus 2 reserves.

I'll be using a scoring system to determine who advances through the rounds. You will score points based on when you were eliminated in each game. (points are cumulative - points earned in round 1 will be carried over into round 2 and likewise with round 3)

1st Place (winner of the game) will get 12 points
2nd Place (last person to be eliminated) will get 7 points
3rd Place (second to last person to be eliminated) will get 6 points
4th Place (third to last person to be eliminated) will get 5 points and so on....

Since the games will have a 20 round limit on them, if that limit is reached, places will be determined by troop count and then by order of elimination (if applicable).

Using Random.org I will split everyone into 4 groups of 8.

Round 1 ----> Each group will play 5 eight-man escalating games. The top 4 scorers from each group will advance onto round 2.
Round 2 ----> Players will now be put into 2 groups of 8. Each group will play 5 eight-man escalating games. The top 4 scorers from each group will advance onto round 3.
Round 3 ----> Finally, remaining players will be put into 1 group of 8. Again, this group will play 5 eight-man escalating games. Player with the most points wins the tourney.

If a tie occurs, I will advance the player who got the most 1st places. If this does not resolve the issue, I will advance the player who got the most 2nd places, then 3rd places, then 4th places and so on until a winner is found.

This tournament will use the same 5 maps, which will be determined through a vote, for all 3 rounds. Below is a list of 20 hand picked maps that I personally like and also think are good for 8 player escalating games. When you post in this thread to let me know you wanna play, please choose 5 different maps from the list below that you would like to play on the most. Once everyone has posted, the 5 maps that got the most votes will be the maps used. If there are any ties between maps I will simply include all the tied maps in with the 5 to be used then move on to the next map with the most votes.
