Also, since im no a native english speaker, please correct me, if something is unclear.Edit: Seems everything is ok, so the fun can begin..
The Idea: Every player gets 100$ (imaginary, not real ones).
In every Round I will offer 1v1 games with completly random settings and maps (every game with a randomly choosen setting of its own). The settings of the games will be published.
Then I will make auctions on spots in those games, so you can bid higher on the settings you like. Every game has 2 spots, that are auctioned independently, so the 2 Players of that game are the winner of the 2 spots.
[spoiler=Rules for auctions]The auctions will be held simultaniusly in the forum, and a spot is sold, once 24 hours pass without a new bid for that slot. You can only buy one spot per round, but you can place more than one bid at a time. If you win your first auction, all other bets you placed will be removed, and the next oldest bet is put on the top. If the other spot in that game has already been bought, the buyer wins the game (and therefore gets his money back)[/spoiler]
If you win a game, you get all the money you and your opponent paid for that game.
Every round, at least one player will get eliminated, because he doesnt have enough money to buy a game.
[spoiler=Rules for number of games]In the first round, there will be n/2 games, where n is the number of players. In the following rounds, there will be (n-1)/2 games, rounded down. If n is an even number, there will be one "bye" that is auctioned with the spots. The buyer of the bye gets his money back after the games, but he has no chance of winning any additional money. This way in every round there will be one player, that doesnt get a spot in a game. And guess what: He's eliminated from the tournament.
In case a player has only 0$ left, he is removed from the tournament. This way, the number of open games might be reduced by more than 1 from one round to the next.
This goes on, until only 1 Player is left, and guess what: He's the winner. (In the last round, with n=2, there will be one game, not zero games ouf course
edit: I will try to keep the number of games to a maximum of 20, so if more than 20 players sign up, every round will have (n/2)-1 games (or -2 if more than 40 players join.)[/spoiler]
Fremiums are welcome, since only 1 game at a time will be played. If you dont take your spot in the game within 48 hours of notification, your spot will be auctioned again (but you wont get a refund). Registration is open until 1 week after the 16th player has joined. Only an even number of players can join, so the 17th, 19th, etc players cannot join, if there is no 18th or 20th player. In order to prevent this tournament from getting to confusing (especially the auctions), i limited to 18 players.
Tournament is FULL, I'll try to start the threads as soon as I hear from the mods.
The way auctions are done might change, if it turns out, that it does not work as good as expected. This is also true for all other rules
Players:
Gunners101...............475
jangles......................300
HighlanderAttack......65
out due to no money left:
tho0036....................0
thenobodies80...........0

out due to not placing bids:

Auctions
Ok, since it is not possible to get extra threads for the auctions, we have to make the auctions in here. This will work as follows:
2. I will post a list of possible spots with the highest bids and the name of the players that have the highest bid at the moment at the end of the thread
3. If you want to place a bid, you copy the list from the last entry, and add your bid at end, than post everything again.
4. From time to time, i will check the auctions, and edit the posts as to what auction is over.
5. The auctions end, when 24h pass without a new bid. You have to check that for yourself before adding a new bid.
6. Dont edit your posts. Never. Ever.. If you edit a post in the biddingthread I will consider that as cheating. Don't do it.
7. If you post at the same time, than somebody else, there might be different versions. If you notice something like that, please merge those two versions. (but remember rule #6)
8. Only place one bid per post. Its allowed to place more than one bid, but you can only win one auction. If you win your first auction, all other bids of you have placed are removed. Therefore, you bids have to have a chronolocial order. So, please only one bid per post.
9. Spots with no bids are removed only, when 24 hours pass without a bid on any other spot.
I hope this works well, if not, I have to think of some other way to do this auctions.. sorry for the inconvenience. And good Luck
[spoiler=List of Changes:]
Auctions without a bid are not removed at all, until 2 days pass without biddings.
