Who is interested? I would like to see if we can get one going to start the weekend of Jan 31-Feb 1 (officially Feb 1).
Registration would be open until Jan 30th or 31st, so we could see if we can get the 8, 16, or 32 people that would be preferred.
Rounds would be allowed up to 2 weeks most likely, to ensure that players have ample time to get games finished.
The players would be grouped into two. Known and experienced players would fill up the chart from the top down. New or lesser known players would fill up the seeds from the bottom up. This way the games should hit fewer snags of people being uncommitted. Known players who do not rate too high on reliablility would be in the second group, if any spot were available at all.
The goal is to have tourneys start, and finish, on time. All of this is subject to debate and possibly better ideas, of course.
Some discussion has been going on here.
Tournament rules:
1) Rounds last 14(?) days: Round I ends on Feb 15, 2004, 00:00 Apolyton Time(AT), later rounds as posted.
2) The two opponents must arrange and complete their game within this time period. The arrangment must be announced on this thread. Methods for determining winners from incomplete games are being considered. Final decesions would be made by the administrator (who wants it?).
3) No extentions will be granted without a valid death certificate for the player. Not trying to offend here, but either we are going to complete these things or the whole idea will die. Extentions have killed the second and third tourneys.
Game rules:
1) Games will be set on Tiny Pangea maps with 2 AI's.
2) Tournament Type must be selected on all occasions.
3) Default settings will be Simultaneous mode with a Slow Turn Clock
4) Game results should be posted here by both players, as well as mailed to the administrator
5) A minimum of 30 turns of "initial peace" (during which the opponents dont attack each other) must be observed by the opponents
6) In case of a dispute, saved games must be provided
7) If the two opponents of a game can reach an agreement on different settings and promise not to complain about the outcome they are free to do so
8) Games of a round will be played with a standard patch version which will be announced prior to the beginning of that round. Currently we would be using 1.12 for round 1 (that might change if localisations are finished soon).
9) There is no Rule #9
10) Have fun!
Please state your interest in playing, and your comments if you have them.
