PBEM Tournament Rules and Results

[Tau Ceti]

They must declare, on the thread, that they submit to you. This decision cannot be reversed.

It is not hugely attractive (the only effect is that you do not get -1 point for a loss), but it gives players a small incentive to play on as a minor ally of their conqueror, like surrendering AIs.

Games completed in season 5 (by March 31, 2002)

GameID	Player 1	Player 2	Player 3	Player 4	Winner(s))
ACT051	SPasmofiT, Hive	Hobbes, University	SITS, Morgan	John Paul Jones, Peacekeepers	SPasmofiT, John Paul Jones
AXT054	Qantaga, Hive	NorthSwordsman, Drones	shadowlord3, University	Hobbes, Cyborgs	Qantaga

[Tau Ceti]

Score system: You get

• 3 points for a solo victory
• 1 point for a team victory
• 0 points for a submission
• -1 point for a defeat
• 1 point for each solo victory of someone you have defeated or made submissive
• 0.5 points for each team victory of someone you have defeated or made submissive

Ties are broken by fewer games won (except in the case of some vs. none), as that means you have probably beaten stronger opponents.
