Alright, I've been considering this one for the past two months and wanted to wait until some of my other tourneys finished up but I just can't wait any longer. So here it is
The Star Trek Tournament: TO Boldly Go where No Tournament has Gone Before
Here's the way it will work. There will be 64 players who will play 7 games at a time. Thus this tournament will be open to PREMIUMS ONLY.
There are 8 Regions with 8 characters to play from. Each character will play one 8 player game, one 7 plyaer game, one 6 player game, one 5 player game, one 4 player game, one 3 player game and 1 1v1 game.
You will not necessarily be playing players from within your region but could be from any where within the Star Trek universe. Now obviously some numbers do not work with 64 so you may be saying how are we going to play 7 player games, what happens to the extra players. That's where I come in. I'm not competing in this tournament but will be playing enough games to fill in the empty slots so I'll have 6 7 player games, 2 6 player games, 1 5 player game and 2 3 player games to play. That will make it so that everyone can play one of each.
Matchups will be done on Random.org. All names will be entered and randomized, the first 8 will play an 8 player game and so forth. The list will then be re-randomized for 7 player games until all the games are settled.
Scoring. I've debated this one and looked at some of the scoring systems that others have used but in the end I believe that this is a game that should be played to win. Thus you win or you lose. Each win counts as 1 point and nothing else. Yes this means that a win in an 8 player game counts the same as a win in a 1v1 game. So you'd better win those games if you want to be in it at the end. It may seem harsh but in the end this game is about winning and, to quote from a different sci-fi universe, There can be only one.
Finals. Each region will maintain seperate scoring and will crown its own regional champion giving us 8. (ties will be broken on a one game play off among all tied with the winner advancing).
To sign up you need to select a character that has not yet been selected. If you select a character that has been otherwise selected or if you just sign up without selecting a character I will assign you one. The characters in play are the ones we are playing with so don't pick one that isn't there.
This is star trek and as a result the settings will be as follows:
Map SPACE (all games)
all games are sequential and sunny
1v1 games chained, no cards
3 player adjacent, escalating
4 player unlimited, flat rate
5 player chained, flat rate
6 player unlimited, escalating
7 player chained escalating
8 player unlimited escalating
