Welcome to the FIRST Tournament of Nations!
This will be my first tournament as a host, so I am hoping for it to be a success.
"Freemiums" will be allowed to participate, however you will need to have TWO game slots open at a time.
Details: All games will have the following settings: Terminator, Freestyle, Automatic, Flat Rate, Unlimited, Yes
Every player will choose a nation (from the given options below), in one of eight regions/categories (with four players per region/category). Every nation has a map that corresponds with it, which will be considered your home map for the first two rounds. In the first round you will face the other four players in four, four player games (one on each of your home maps). These games will be played two at a time. To advance to round two, you must score within the top 2 of your group. The points scoring system is as follows: 1 point per Termination, 1 point per Game Victory, and whatever points you score on your home map will be doubled. If two players are tied in their group, your rank in the group will be determined by when you were eliminated in every game, in order. For example if player 1 and player 2 both had 12 points, and both had 1 1st place finish, but player #1 had 2 2nd place finishes, while player # 2 had only 1 2nd place finish, then player #1 would be ranked ahead of player #2. If two players happen to be tied in every category, it will be determined by your amount of CC points, the player with FEWER points going through to the next round.
This format will continue through round 2 with the exception that you and the person that advanced from the same region will face the two winners from another region, again playing four four player games (one at everyone's home map), two at a time.
In round 3, you will receive a new home map, the one corresponding to the region in which you began (in Round 1). If there are two people representing this region, the map will be played on twice, the first time will be the home game for the higher ranked player (by CC points), the second time will be the home game for the lower ranked player (by CC points). The two top scoring people from your group will advance to the final round.
In the final round, round 4, the four players lucky enough to get to the final will play at four "global maps" (Classic, World 2.1, Extreme Global Warming, and Random), so obviously the "double home points" rule is no longer in effect. And this time, only the person who finishes first will win.
Here is the list of nations and the home maps per nation. Winners from group 1 will play those from group 2, those from 3 play 4, etc. In round 3, winners from groups 1/2 will play winners from groups 3/4, and 5/6 will play 7/8.
