To conquer the world you have to start small.

32 players + 3 reserves needed to start in one of 8 groups of 4 players. Seeding to be done by rank. (EDIT- and points if need be).
No restrictions apply but I reserve the right to refuse entry. Open to one and all. 48 hrs to join games.
No shows in the first round will be replaced by a reserve. Deadbeats in any other round will be marked as Eliminated.

5 world maps, starting with the smallest and getting bigger.

Round 1. All maps are Standard, sequential and auto deployed. The rest is a mix.
Map 1. Doodle Earth. No spoils, chained and sunny.
Map 2. Classic. Flat, adjacent and sunny.
Map 3. Extreme Global Warming. Nuclear, unliminted and foggy.
Map 4. Land and Sea. Escalating, Chained, sunny

5 points for a win
3 points for second place.
2 points for third place.
1 point for forth place.

Round 2 (Play off's.)
In case of a points tie in the first round a play off will determine the winner
of each group.
Map. Doodle Earth Flat, Adjacent, sunny.

Final.

Asked the question about the first game and these are the responses I got. Sorry guys, but it does need to be finished.
Quick question.

My very first tournament was set up in a style that the first game had no spoils. Little did I realize that after nearly 30 rounds, we have only one win and 2 eliminations. A couple of the players have asked about abandoning the games and resetting them up with spoils.

Tournament thread.

Can this be done? and if it can, how do I do it without any players losing points?

Yes, minor settings can be changed in your tournament while it's in progress as long as all the players agree to the changes. As for the points, there's no way those can be kept the same...the players will continue to play the games out, they just won't count in the tournament.

You can also introduce a round cap now, I have done that before. For example give it another 10 or 20 rounds. Of course, what Night Strike says applies for this as well, you can only do it if the players have no objections.

Question (Round Caps)

New postby Night Strike on Mon Jan 31, 2011 11:48 pm

As an addendum, there are some groups of players who will play a private game among the remaining players with 1 or 2 settings changed and the winner of that new game also gets to win the stalemated game by the others suiciding their troops off the board. That is also allowed in tournament situations to keep the tournament moving along.
