Any players banned due to poor sportsmanship in any of my tournaments shall not be allowed to enter.

The organizer has full judgment in making these decisions and may employ assistance from the Multi Hunters or Cheating/Abuse Team in assessing a situation in which there is suspicion of cheating or rule violations.
In other words: NO cheating

Tournament Format Informal Overview
There are 48 players. There are 2 sides to the tournament: a Galapagos side, and a Jamaica side. Each player has a spot on each side of the tourney (therefore, they in essence have 2 lives). The 48 players are randomly divided into 8 groups of 6 players each, using random.org. This happens on both sides. The group stage format is degenerate round-robin. After multiple rounds of round-robin, in which the player with the least wins is eliminated, the top 2 players from each group will advance to the Galapamaican Playoffs.
The Playoffs are a best-of-3, standard 16-player single-elimination tournament, except it is double-sided, meaning the winners of the 2 single-elimination tournaments (one for Treasures of Galapagos, one for Jamaica) will meet in an ultimate final. The final 2 remaining players will play a game on Jamaica and a game on Treasures of Galapagos, against each other. The first player to win both games in succession will be crowned the champion of Galapamaica!
The Official Tournament Rules
Random.org will be used when randomness is needed.
The tournament organiser has the final say on all issues connected to play.
Read on for all the specific, tournament details, please.

Forming Groups
Click to view
[spoiler=Forming Groups]48 players are randomly divided into 8 groups of 6 players each. These groups are now mentioned as the groups of the "Galapagos side".
The process is repeated, and these groups are then referred to as the groups of the "Jamaica side".
Note that the groups are NOT intended to be identical on each side.[/spoiler]
Gameplay: Degenerate Round-Robin
Click to view
[spoiler=Gameplay]On the Jamaica side, games will be played on the Jamaica map.
On the Galapagos side, games will be played on the Treasures of Galapagos map.
Groups may play independently of each other; in other words, one group may be in Round 2 or 3, while another is in Round 1.
Round 1
Each of the 6 players will play each of the other 5 players in the group once in a 2-player game. Thus each player plays 5 games.
After all games are complete, the player with the fewest wins is eliminated from the tournament.
See the Tie-Breakers spoiler for further details.
Round 2
The number of wins recorded thus far are "carried over", meaning scores do NOT reset to 0 wins at the start of any round.
The remaining 5 players will play each of the other 4 players in the group once in a 2-player game. Thus each player plays 4 games.
After all games are complete, the player with the fewest wins is eliminated from the tournament.
Round 3
The number of wins recorded thus far are "carried over", meaning scores do NOT reset to 0 wins at the start of any round.
The remaining 4 players will play each of the other 3 players in the group once in a 2-player game. Thus each player plays 3 games.
The 2 players with the fewest wins are eliminated from the tournament. The remaining 2 players, who have the most number of wins in the group, advance to the Galapamaican Playoffs.[/spoiler]
Keep in mind there are 2 SIDES to this tourney, meaning you will play 5 games in Round 1 for your group, but since you're in 2 groups, you'll play 10 games at once!
Therefore, from each side, 16 players advance to the Playoffs.
Players MAY advance to the playoffs from both sides, giving them a distinct advantage.
Tie-Breakers
Click to View
[spoiler=Tie-Breakers]Should multiple players have the same number of wins at the end of a Round, and additional games are needed to determine which of these drawn players will be eliminated (where applicable) or advance (after Round 3), these drawn players will play in a Standard game. The winner of the game is ranked highest. The player first eliminated is ranked lowest. The player eliminated second is ranked next lowest, etc.
Example
Salvador, Augusto, and Fidel each have a total of 6 wins after Round 3, and only 2 players can advance to the Playoffs, from their group on the Jamaica side. Therefore, Salvador, Augusto, and Fidel play a 3-player Standard game on the Jamaica map. Salvador wins. Therefore, he is ranked highest. Fidel was first eliminated, so he is ranked lowest. Therefore, Salvador and Augusto advance, while Fidel is eliminated.[/spoiler]

The same process occurs on the Jamaica side.
The 2 players in each pair play 3, 2-player games.
The player that wins 2 or more games will advance. The other player in the pair is eliminated.
Semifinals
On the Galapagos side, the 4 players are randomly divided into 2 pairs of 2 players each.
The same process occurs on the Jamaica side.
The 2 players in each pair play 3, 2-player games.
The player that wins 2 or more games will advance. The other player in the pair is eliminated.
Galapagos/Jamaica Map Final
On the Galapagos side, the 2 remaining players play 3, 2-player games.

[spoiler=Championship]Galapamaican Championship
The player advancing from the Galapagos side and the player advancing from the Jamaica side will play in the Championship.
The 2 players will play in 1 game on Treasures of Galapagos, and 1 game on Jamaica.

Extra Round 2
The same procedure as Extra Round 1 is carried out.
Thus, Extra Rounds continue until one player wins both games in that round.[/spoiler]
No-Show Policy
Click to View
[spoiler=NoShow Policy]Each player will receive three guaranteed invites to any game.
Should a player contact me clearly indicating why they cannot accept an invite, I may send an additional number of invites to that player, at my discretion.
Players may NOT return to play after being replaced by a reserve.
In Round 1 of Round-Robin
Should a new player be necessary for any reason, I will contact the player at the top of the Reserves list to take that player's place in the tournament, for the rest of the tournament.
In any other round of Round-Robin
The player failing to accept invites forfeits all of that round's matches and will automatically be eliminated at the end of the round. Each player will be granted 1 win as a result of the forfeits.
In the Galapamaican Playoffs (excluding the Championship)
The player failing to accept invites forfeits all of that round's matches and will automatically be eliminated. His opponent will advance to the next round.
In the Galapamaican Championship
The player failing to accept invites forfeits all of that round's matches and will automatically be eliminated. His opponent will be crowned champion of Galapamaica!

Have a nice day
