FIRST ROUND SCOREBOARD AT BOTTOM OF PAGE 3
The pace of Initechs has slowed, but the intensity has only picked up. Polar Wars has turned, in my opinion, to a wonderful event. With other Initechs finally finishing up, I feel I have time to oversee the 22nd edition. It will follow the path laid out in the last event, with a couple twists. Without further ado, I give you: Initech XXII: World League!
OVERVIEW
36-player, 2-round, 124-game, 43-map tournament. There will be three groups of 12 players, with the top 2 players from each group advancing to the Finals where the final six players will faceoff for the championship.
ELIGIBLE PLAYERS
Premium only, sorry. You'll need more than 4 games open at all times. Due to the length of this tournament, I will also only take players with at least 50 completed games.
RULES
All games will be Sequential, Chained, Flat Rate, Foggy.
There will be three first round groups: Americas, Europe and Rest of the World. Within each group, each player will play 5 six-player terminator games, 4 four-player standard games and 4 three-player assassin games for a total of 13 games. The top two players from each group will advance to the finals.
The finals will consist of 10 games, all of which will be 6-player in nature: four standard, three terminator and three assassin. The player with the most points is tournament champion.
POINT SYSTEM
Throughout the tournament, the following point system applies:
Each standard map win is worth 15 points.
Each terminator map win is worth 5 points, with each elimination worth 2 points.

TIEBREAKERS
In the first round, the first tiebreaker will be the most points won in common games (matches where the tied players were both involved). The second tiebreaker will be most standard map wins. The third tiebreaker will be most terminator map wins. The fourth tiebreaker will be a tiebreaker game played on a map of the organizer's choosing (from the qualifying group) with standard settings but no spoils.
