KEEP UR ENEMIES CLOSER!!

so i had this great idea for a tourney...it's a little complicated, but bear with me

-first things first: all games will be sequential, escalating, and unlimited (no fog of war)

-32 people: 8 brackets of 4 people each, each one starts on the specified map...3 rounds, then a final (which works slightly differently)

-here's where it gets interesting: each round will consist of 3 doubles games (same map for the whole round) where a different person in ur bracket will be ur partner in each game...the 2 individuals who do the best will move on to the next round

-it will all be one game at a time, so non-premium members are encouraged to join

-u'll get 48 hours to join from when I send out the PM with ur game # and password...seeing as this format is somewhat complicated, please join in the order u r asked to join in...please keep it all honest

-tiebreakers (which are quite possible) will be determined as follows:
1) if a player has ever been eliminated in a game they won, that player loses the tiebreaker (unless all tied players have)
2) whoever controlled the most territory in the game where the TIED PLAYERS WERE PARTNERS...in case of a 3 way tie, each pair will be looked at individually, then together (if it's still tied)
- this is where strategy/sabatoge/betrayal could come in handy; if u outnumber ur opponents by enough, u could start attacking ur partner...so also be careful how much u fortify each other

-the top player in each bracket will choose which map they want in the next round (of the available options)...the other players will be placed semi-randomly in the remaining spots (avoiding players in previous brackets)

-the maps/brackets r as follows:

Alexander's Empire:
1. jennifermarie
2. gilligan
3. pimphawks70
4. lord voldemort

Battle of Australia:
1. browng-08
2. luggey92
3. rodrigopel
4. lucky_topher

D-Day Omaha Beach:
1. fireheart
2. millertime13
3. taxmanjle (replaced - Sir. Ricco)
4. Neil Brown

Middle Earth:
1. chopsiu
2. demon666
3. DresdonSooner
4. Marshall Law

Mongol Empire
1. stingray629
2. lenesu
3. pittman
4. Bla-Cro

Pearl Harbor:
1. Tieryn
2. Boss_oss_ss
3. AndyG99
4. Mike33144 (replaced - khellendros)

WWII Eastern Front:
1. Killer_ace3
2. JrEire (replaced - bob72)
3. banana_hammocks
4. Fire Mario

WWII Iwo Jima:
1. raggs34
2. amill15
3. vampir2124
4. spoofer

Reserves:
1. drod222
2. Sir. Ricco (fill-in)
3. khellendros (fill-in)
4. bob72 (fill-in)
5.

-Round 2 maps will be: Siege, extreme global warming, USA apocalypse, and US senate

-Semi-Final maps will be Chinese Checkers and King of the Mountain

-The final will be a single standard game between the top 2 in each semi-final bracket. The map will be a surprise.

When you reply, please specify which map u would like to start in: first come, first serve.

GOOD LUCK!!

I'd cut down the number of teams you will need...I started a tournament that needed 36 Doubles teams, it took 16 days to full.

to avoid any further confusion...it's an individuals tournament, but u need to work with together with ur opponents to win...u can also attack ur partners to gain an overall advantage if ur enemy is severely weakened

I'm in. Sounds like a good idea.

I'll take WWII Eastern Front

dicemaster42 · Post by **dicemaster42** » Fri Nov 02, 2007 12:24 pm

Due to the lack of interest in the Battle of Actium (I don't blame anyone for that...that map's insanely comlicated)...it has now been replaced with D-Day Omaha Beach

If anyone would like to change, let me know...either on the forum or by PM
