High King of Aule
Short-Terminator Series
Congratulations to the High King of Aule - conquerhero
Details:
Across the lands, a host of warlords have challenged the rule of the Kings.
The power of the Eight Kings of the Known World appears to be diminishing.
Now is your chance to rally your troops and establish a single empire.
It is your Destiny to become the High King, King of Kings.
This tournament is another in a series of Short Terminator tournaments.
It is open to all players with a decent attendance record (see below).
Freemiums welcome (two-games-at-a-time).
Tournament Format
[spoiler]Initial Stage
In Phase I, 18 players will undertake 2 battles in 3 groups of 6 competitors.
In each battle, the winning competitor will score 2 points. All players will also score 1 point for each termination.
The top 2 competitors* from each group will progress to the next round.
Final Stage
In the Final Phase, 6 competitors will undertake 2 battles.
Points scoring will be as above (points are reset to 0).
The competitor with most points will be declared the Winner and High King.
In the event of competitors finishing with equal points, a tie-break battle will be played.
* If necessary competitors will also be compared on the number of terminations, then number of rounds survived in the phase in question. If this does not prove to determine qualifying competitors then a tie-break battle will occur.[/spoiler]
Settings
[spoiler]Fog of War will be present in all battles due to minimal military intelligence and surprise attacks.
Given the limited speed of cavalry, chained reinforcements will be applicable.
Escalating spoils will be in place due to the rapidly accelerating popularity and recruitment methods of the battling warlords.
(Other settings will be Terminator, Sequential, No Trench, 20 Round Limit and Automatic)[/spoiler]
Competitor Requirements
[spoiler]There will be 18 competitors.
Competitors must have a 97% attendance record, have played a minimum 25 matches, and not have dropped out from one of my tournaments previously! Fremiums allowed but 2 slots must be available at all times.
Competitors will have 24 hours to join their battles from when the joining invite is sent. Failure to do so will result in a reserve being sought (harsh, I know).[/spoiler]
Group Allocation
[spoiler]Competitors will be allocated groups according to random.org for the first stage.[/spoiler]
Reserves
[spoiler]All reserves will be sent a PM when an opening occurs. The first reserve to respond will gain a place.
For the first stage, reserves will be drawn from the reserve list.
In the final stage, reserves will be drawn from competitors eliminated from the previous stage (initially to the competitor finishing 4th in the group from which the missing player came (in the case of play-offs), or from the first losing play-off competitor to respond (in the case of a group stage), then from the first competitor finishing in 3rd or 4th place to respond, then from the first of any knocked-out competitor to respond).[/spoiler]
Joining Battles
[spoiler]Competitors will be informed when they have a match and will have 24 hours to join. If they fail to do so then they will be ejected from the tournament and a reserve will replace them.[/spoiler]
Missing Turns
[spoiler]If a player misses a turn then he cannot score any points in the game in question. If a player deadbeats at any stage then he will be ejected from the tournament.
Players must contact the Tournament Organiser by PM to alert him to any indiscretions of the rule.[/spoiler]
Partnerships / Regular opponents
[spoiler]Competitors must inform the tournament organiser if they have a regular partner or opponent that is also featuring in the tournament. The organizer can then ensure these competitors do not play together to avoid any potential claims of foul play by other players.
If reports of suspected foul play are made and the competitors in question have not declared that they are regular partners / opponents then they will be both be ejected from the tournament without question or the need for irrefutable evidence.[/spoiler]
First Turn Fog of War Courtesy Rule
[spoiler]Where Fog of War is present, the competitor who goes first in round 1 must either wait 10 hours before taking their turn, or inform their opponent(s) in game chat of any regions conquered during their first move, and where from. Failure to do either will mean the competitor in question is unable to score any points in the game.
Players must contact the Tournament Organiser by PM to alert him to any indiscretions of the rule.[/spoiler]
