Conquer Club

Okay, I must be losing it because I could have sworn there was something about the winner of the tournament having the opportunity to work with MrBenn to create a bracket map for CC, but now I can't find where I might have seen that. Also, that doesn't really make sense because there are two tournaments, doubles and singles, so which winner would it be? Does anyone else remember this or should I just call the men in the white coats and have them come and take me away?

Don't worry you've not gone crazy!

From the Official Announcement:

I would guess it will be a joint effort with the 3 winners and MrBenn!

So even if MrBenn bows out gracefully, there will have to be a special dispensation for three map medals to be awarded for one map.

It says the 3 winners will have a chance to work with MrBenn, only one of them will actually be helping MrBenn develop the map. Winners of the tournaments will receive more info about this when the tournaments conclude.

Yes, it is great to have maps on here just for a short while to celebrate real-life events, but I'm in favor of bringing in some sort of generic bracket map that could be played at all times. It might even be useful for some of the sports-themed tourneys that are regulars on this site.

Firstly good work Gilligan and Pander for keeping this tourney going.
If we start second against an oppenent do we then get to start first in the second game? So far i have started second more often than first. I still managed to win all 5 games but feel it would be fair if i got to start 1st half of the time.

That's completely random. The tournament organizers have no control over it.

well, that is unfortunate because in 1v1 great advantage has the starter of game. It should be like te man sad, "with home advantage" eaqualy represented and not random. never te less, life isnt fair, so why should this be?

I have played and won 5 1vs1 on this map, started second 4 times. There are many maps where the disadvantage of starting second is much much bigger I'd say

Agreed. The fact that this map has no territory bonus actually makes it fairer than many maps.

i agree the bias isn't as bad as on other maps but i'd still play first if i got the choice. Fair enough if it can't be done but it would be better if it could be. i guess laws of average it should balance out if i stay in the tournament long enough.

ya well u guys probably have played shit opponenets when u went first there is a huge bonus by the fact that after u take a neutral u get a bonus of 2-3 which ur opponent cant break then do it again and now u have a stack of 9

I am in Game 7209053 ... 4 days already and no-one joined and invite expired, what should I do, drop a game or just wait more

I'll send reminders out now for the few games still not joined. Most I think are due to lack of slots available, which we'll be flexible on due to the delays caused by map problems etc.!

Regarding the starting first etc. it's a shame we can't have it a bit more fair with starting first but like a previous poster said we have no control. I know [player]DJ Teflon[/player] managed to work out a way around this by using freestyle settings in a few of his tournaments with strict rules on who can take turns when etc. but that would be far too hard to manage in a tournament this size!

No worries. maybe that is something cc could change in the future. Fixed start orders for tournaments setting.

Game 7209080

Finished.

I'm ready for my final batch of games if you want,as a freemium i have the spots free right now and after those 2 games i should know if i'm going to qualify or not and can therefore keep spots open for the next round or more likely wander off into the sunset with my jabulani ball between my legs....

anyway, when the chart is going to get updated, already playing batch 3 and the list is still on batch 1...

L M S wins Game 7270001, gg Sir.
