Broadway, Your Way [TPA]
Anyone with one free stage can sign up!
This is a Tournament Players Association (TPA) event, and is governed by its rules, guidelines, and judgments. All are welcome to join and participate in the association. You need do nothing more than join one or more of the TPA events that will be announced each Monday. Check back on the TPA scoreboard in the Tournaments--> General Info forum to see how you're doing.
Creating a Broadway musical hit is tough work, even more so if you're striving to attain international acclaim for your work of art! But before you attempt such a feat in real life, why not see if you have what it takes to do it on Conquer Club? You certainly can't do this by yourself, so grab a partner and come along!
Overall Gameplay
This is a Doubles tournament.
Rounds 1 to 3 is when you plan and conceive your idea for the stage production. At this point, you're still sheltered from the harsh world of critics, so only the first team to be eliminated from the game will be out of the tournament.
In Round 4, you'll be pitted against all other remaining teams in 5 different 8-player doubles games. You'll get to play every team exactly once. Stay alive as long as possible and you may just earn enough points to get you to the next round.
In Rounds 5 to 7, you'll be pitted against one other musical production in a head-to-head battle in a best of 3 series. Winning at least 2 out of 3 will bring your musical into a higher level of critical acclaim, and for Round 7, world fame!
