Conquer Club

[b][u]Rules[/u][/b] [list][*]Each round, you will play a two sets of five 5-player games (1 home and 4 away). [*]Players will be awarded points based on their kills within each of the games. [*]At the end of each round, the *players with the lowest scores will be eliminated from the tournament. [*]Points for each round are [b][u][color=#0000FF]cumulative[/color][/u][/b], i.e. they carry over from previous rounds; but older rounds will decrease their weightage at a compounded rate of 50% reduction per round. [*]This will carry on until we have the final 5, where two sets of 5 games will be played (1 home for each finalist, and 5 other randomly selected maps used in the tournament). [*]Including the finals, there will be *3-4 rounds. [*]The player with the highest score at the end of the final round wins the tournament![/list] Opponents will be assigned by Random.org. (*Number of rounds and eliminations per round depends on number of signups.) [b][u]Point Award System[/u][/b] Kill: [color=#FF0000]4 points[/color] Consecutive Kill: [color=#FF0000]5 points[/color] Winning Kill: [color=#FF0000]+1 point[/color] [i]For example:[/i] [list][*]Player A kills Player C. [*]Player B kills Player D. [*]Player B kills Player E. [*]Player A kills Player B.[/list] Player A gets 4 points for first kill, and 4+1 points for winning kill (total 9 points). Player B gets 4 points for second kill, and 5 points for third kill (total 9 points). [b][u]Anomalous Wins / Eliminations[/u][/b] [list][*]Wins by fulfilling win conditions (on maps that have them) will give the winner [color=#FF0000]3 points[/color] for every other surviving player. [*]Wins by round limit will give the winner [color=#FF0000]1 point[/color] for every other surviving/deadbeat player. [b](So it's in your interest to select settings that [i]won't[/i] go into the round limit.)[/b] [*]Eliminating a deadbeat's troops from the board will count as a normal kill. [*]Deadbeats who aren't eliminated before the end will count as [color=#FF0000]2 points[/color] for the player who made the winning kill / fulfils the win condition.[/list]

Here's the twist: all points awarded on your home settings will have a [b][u][color=#0000FF]1.5x multiplier[/color][/u][/b] when added to your point totals. This means that your selection of home map and settings is especially important, as it can truly make a huge difference to your standing in the tournament!

[i]Before choosing your settings, do bear in mind that games that end as a result of the 20 Round limit give drastically lower point totals than from kills, so it's in your best interest to avoid settings where that might happen.[/i] The possible home settings you are allowed to [b][u][color=#0000FF]choose[/color][/u][/b] from are as follows: [list]Map: [color=#FF0000]Any non-Beta map[/color] (including Random), [color=#FF0000]except Conquer Man, Hive, and USA 2.1[/color]. Spoils: Any (i.e. [color=#FF0000]Escalating[/color], [color=#FF0000]Flat Rate[/color], [color=#FF0000]Nuclear[/color], [color=#FF0000]Zombie[/color] or [color=#FF0000]No Spoils[/color]) Reinforcements: Any (i.e. [color=#FF0000]Chained[/color], [color=#FF0000]Adjacent[/color], [color=#FF0000]Unlimited[/color], [color=#FF0000]Parachute[/color] or [color=#FF0000]None[/color]) FoW: [color=#FF0000]Sunny[/color] or [color=#FF0000]Foggy[/color][/list] All other settings will be [b][u][color=#0000FF]fixed[/color][/u][/b] as follows: [list]Game Type: [color=#FF0000]Terminator[/color] Players: [color=#FF0000]5 Players[/color] Troops: [color=#FF0000]Automatic[/color] Order: [color=#FF0000]Sequential[/color] Trench: [color=#FF0000]No[/color] Round Limit: [color=#FF0000]20 Rounds[/color][/list]

In case of ties, the following tiebreaker rules will be used, in order of priority: [list=1][*]Points earned in the current round. [*]Total number of kills. [*]Point totals without Home Ground bonus. [*]If all of the above are equal, all remaining tied players will progress, and more players will be eliminated in the subsequent round.[/list] Exception: If tied players at the end of Round 1 have zero kills, they will all be eliminated.

The tournament can take a minimum of 25 players, and has no maximum signups. Signups will close after 4 weeks. When signing up, please [b][u][color=#0000FF]include your chosen settings[/color][/u][/b] from the list indicated above! (See the 'Settings' tab.) Players that do not indicate their settings will be assigned Random, Escalating, Chained, Sunny. You will not be able to change your settings once the tournament starts, so be sure of your choice!
