So growing up I used to play the classic map on the kitchen table with the following settings:
Manual, Sequential, Escalating, Adjacent and No Fog
So I wanted to bring this tournament back to my roots and use these settings exclusively.
This tournament is open to freemium players with two slot open
Game PlaySpoiler
This tournament will have six divisions of six players each. The divisions will be broken up by the seeding of the players based on the number of points that each player has gained on the Classic map.
Each Division will play four games.
Points will be allocated in the following manner:
Win on Standard = 7 pts
Last Killed = 5 pts
Fourth Killed = 4 pts
Third Killed = 3 pts
Second Killed = 2 pts
First Killed = 0 pts
A penalty of -2 pts will be assessed to any player that does not take a card for three consecutive rounds in one game. This rule has been added to avoid having a player advance by finishing second in all their games by just accumulating armies and not cards.
There will be a 35 round cap where all remaining players will receive the number of points that the next eliminated player would have received.
The two players that accumulate the most points in each round will advance to the next round. In the first round the six players that accumulate the most points that do not already advance will move to round two as wild cards.
To advance to the finals the top two point earners will move on and we will have final group of six.
In the case of a tie we will determine the player that advances based on number of wins. If the tie is not broken we will look the points earned in the previous round. If the tie is not broken a best of three heads up match will be played.

Ill play, but i have one question about the -2 points for not taking a card, what if the dice don't work with us for 3 rounds, and we can't get a card because of that. Chances are slim, but it could happen.

I will assess that as I watch the games. The spirit of the rule is to prevent building up an army just to finish in second. I think that it is easy to see if that is the strategy that someone is using to advance in the tournament.
progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be...If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man.
