56 for '56

This tourney is part of the CC Olympics Event. You need do nothing but sign up for this event. For more info, see this page: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=206502

As a reminder, you must purchase premium to play in this tourney due to game load. Also, as a reminder, this tourney may or may not be one of the major tournies to award a participation ribbon.


Quick link to the scoring spreadsheet

56 players will celbrate the 1956 Olympics. Due to a high game load, you must be premium to enter. For the purposes of the CC Olympics, all games must begin by the end of August, so you will get invites very quickly.

Wikipedia wrote:The 1956 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XVI Olympiad, were an international multi-sport event which was held in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, in 1956, apart from the equestrian events, which were held five months earlier in Stockholm, Sweden. Equestrian events could not be held in Australia due to quarantine regulations. This was the second Olympics not to be held entirely in one country, the first being the 1920 Summer Olympics. The 1956 Games were the first to be staged in the Southern Hemisphere, as well as the first to be held outside Europe and North America.


The 1956 Winter Olympics were held in Italy. (The modern practise of having Winter and Summer Olympics in different years did not begin until 1994.)

This oddball Olympiad, held on opposite sides of the planet, presents you with a unique challenge. You will have games in sets of six, three on Australia representing the main body of the Summer games at the Melbourne site, one on Nordic Nations representing the Equestrian events at the Stockholm site, and two on Italy representing the Winter Games.

For each set of four games, you must win games on two different continents for your score to count! In other words, at least one in Australia and at least one in either Nordic or Italy. This should be quite easy at the beginning with 1v1 games, but it will get much harder as we proceed to 4-, 7- and 8- player games! Be forewarned. It doesn't matter how brilliant your victories on one side of the world, if you don't score at least one on the other continent, you will score nothing for that round! Yes, It's rough. Winning Olympic medals is not for the faint of heart!

In addition, after every round there will be a bonus game on other maps to celebrate specific bits of XVI Olympiad trivia. You score points for winning bonus games regardless of how well you played the main set.

Settings: All games will be Automatic and Sequential, with 24-hour rounds and a 20-round limit. Other settings will vary.

Sets:
show: set 1
show: set 1 bonus

show: set 2

Quick question: Do you have to score points in the original set to be eligible for points in the set bonus?

Nope. Bonus is bonus; you get to score there even if you struck out in the regular set.
