It's an autotournament. It should be active any moment now.

It looks to me like a particular KIND of autotournament launches every day. As soon as one fills another of the same kind is created. You can only join one per kind / one per day.
There are also speed tournaments running the same way - one kind each day... you can only join one per day.
But of course you can join a new casual auto-tournament and a new speed auto-tournament every 24 hour cycle (casual is noon-noon, speed is midnight-midnight). Otherwise how would you collect the 10 different participation ribbons?

Am I reading this right?

EDIT: Oh... you guys meant there is only one available RIGHT NOW. I get it... :lol:

When u say different "kind" or tourney, could u be more specific. I joined the opening ceremonies, so is that the only one of its kind? And do u chose a country or is it automatic?

Correct. The 10 participation ribbons were randomly assigned. 8 to the autotournaments and 2 to the major tournaments.

Starting at midnight, there will always be 2 types of autos running.

Amethyst21 wrote:Is this event only for Premium players or am I missing something here?


For the most part, yes. Many tournaments have too many games for freemiums and many have a speed game requirement.

You can only join 1 opening Ceremonies. That same tournament will keep opening up and filling, so everyone has a chance to join. Just after midnight, the MegaBarge Racing will open. You can join 1 MegaBarge Racing tournament. On and on, for the 2 weeks. Country is based on your country, although it is static, so if you are moving around, it is based on the IP address you used to log in today.

I just joined the MegaBarge Racing tourney...
Then I looked at the clock and decided it was really stupid to join right now when I should be headed to bed.
If I unjoin can I still join later today, or did I use up my ONE chance to join BegaBarge Racing?

Thanks for that Doom! I'll go to bed then!

So if I join all 30 tournaments and place 3-4th in ALL of them... I would get 30 points. I would have to WIN 10 of the 30 to get 50 points from gold medals...
This is quite a challenge!
(I know my math is rather fuzzy)

Good point. I will change the scoring right now.

Thanks for adjusting it, Doom. I will feel very successful if I score 1x gold, 1x silver, and 3x bronze for a GA medal! :D

EDIT: I imagine you will be able to track how this progresses and if the highest scoring person has like 15 points adjust accordingly. ;)

I'm in Canada, my internet provider is Canadian, and my IP location is in Canada, yet CC still thinks I'm in the USA. So I'm hoping it can be put on record that I'm playing for my home country!

I'm confused by the scoring, Morleyjoe and i got a silver and a bronze, which is 4 pts total when you look at the individual scoring, but under usergroups, Atlantis only has 2 pts (we are both in Atlantis)

Thanks

It's a 2-player touranement that has 8 players.

Note: We just switched from 16 p tournaments for the speeders to 8 since the 16s were having a hard time filling.

I will take a stab at this as I'm not sure doom understood your question. Either that or i don't.

There are many two player events in the olympics too, such as boxing. They have bronze medals. The way you do it is to play one opponent at one time and the loser is eliminated and the winner advances. Eventually you get down to four players. The two winners from those "semi-final" games will get silver and gold, and the two losers will fight for bronze.

Did that do it?
