This is a Tournament Players Association Year 2(TPA2) event, and is governed by its rules, guidelines, and judgments. All are welcome to join and participate in the association. You need do nothing more than join one or more of the TPA2 events that will be announced each Monday. Check back on the TPA2 scoreboard in the Tournaments--> General Info forum to see how you're doing.
This is a Premier Event for doubles, open for non-premiums. (Please sign up with a team-mate, or I will not count you in.)
When signing up, please state which group you would prefer to play in. Pick one in Stage 1, one in Stage 2 and one in Stage 3. Those with the most points when advancing to the next stage will get their first choice in groups in the new stage.
If you don't pick one you will be placed in the least popular one.
All games will be:
Doubles
Automatic
Sequential
No Spoils
Chained reinforcements
Fog of war on
& a round limit of 30 rounds
Stage 1: We will start off with 32 teams divided into 8 groups. Each group will play a round-robin where each team faces every other team four times on four different maps. That's 12 games for each team, and the two best teams in each group advance to the next stage. I will send the games out one at a time, every two or three days. I will allow non-premiums to join, but you will need at least two spots free, preferably more. If the game-count from this tournament gets higher than that we will wait for the games to finish.
