Maybe we should set up a world championship

JUST A SUGGESTION

Before I start, I want to point out that this would in no way determine who is the best player, just as the Master's tourney in golf doesnt determine the best golfer. This would only determine the tourney winner.

I havnt thought this out real well - but here it goes:

1) Everyone who wants in is in.

2) All matches are duels.

3) First game is player A's settings. Second game is Player B's settings. If you win both you advance. If you lose both you are out. If you split you go in the split group.

4) Split group is re-paired randomly and repeats step 3 until it is cleared out.

5) Round 2 is conducted upon the guidelines of steps 2 thru 4 until a group of advancers is determined. And so on and so on until a winner is determied.


This method would take away the settings argument. In additon, with 2 games the bad start argument is diminshed.

Anyways that my quick, unthought out suggestion

What if we have an odd number of players? Otherwise it sounds fine especially the duels thing

yeah - I know Hydey I like 4 player games myself. I was just trying to think of a way that would allow everyone in without having endless complaining about settings.

Do you have any suggestions on how to do a 3 or more player games without endless complaining about settings? Thats the best I could come up with.

Hydey has no Ideas, I guess thats why it is so hard to organise.

the truly great do not complain about settings...

Deity Dude's format looks fine to me. I won't be topping anyone's list for the best player, but I wasn't half bad at one point in my civ career. I've turned away from competitive play recently, but if a tourny is set up and open to all I could see how far I could get before I'm eliminated.
