A UNIT FROM SOMBRE! $50 in CASH MONEY FROM FROSTED (Potentially) $10 in CASH MONEY FROM HeatEXTEND A REAL LIFE CHAMPION HELMET FROM Maerlande!
[/b] ENTRY FEE: None. Just bring your A game! ------------------------------------ RULES DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE In order to not have a draconian rule set that handles every corner case, this tourney will depend on people not being dickheads. Please try to be considerate in scheduling and please take turns at a reasonable pace. Standard MP Rules apply: trades are binding! ;D RESTARTS: There will be no restarts, no mulligans and no do-overs. Take MISF at your own risk. THE ERA: EARLY AGE GAME SETTINGS: Easy Research SPECIAL RULES: No Mercenaries MODS: CBM 1.93 + NO LIBRARY https://dl.dropbox.com/u/102421173/CB1.93%2BNoLibrary.dm ^^ RIGHT CLICK and SAVE AS then save to your dom3 mod folder. Note that pretenders made with regular CBM 1.93 will be fully compatible, other than removing libraries NO OTHER CHANGES were made to CBM 1.93. Details on why NO LIBRARY can be found here: http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/index....post&p=22024646. NATION SELECTION: Every player selects a primary and secondary nation. They must play their primary nation in every game, if both players have the same primary nation they both fall back to their secondary picks. MAP SELECTION: Both players may select a map between themselves, if no agreement is reached Twolands is used. A list of suggested maps will be posted shortly. SCHEDULE: ->ROUND ONE: MONDAY SEPTEMBER 10TH - 17TH<- Each subsequent round will be one week long. Extensions will be allowed although please try to keep these to a minimum. FORMAT: PLAYER POOL Rounds: If the number of finalized entries is over 16, then there will be two initial POOL rounds. Player's who complete these rounds 2-0 or 1-1 will continue onto the SINGLE ELIMINATION rounds. SINGLE ELIMINATION - Round of 16 - Round of 8 - Semi-Finals - FROSTED CUP CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH! <-- yay for cash prizes!------------------------------------------------ HOW GAMES WILL WORK: BlanketThief has offered to run a dedicated server and BrainWrinkle on SA has made us a special edition of the GGS notification system that helps keep track of games. This will allow Direct Connect games, which will feel very natural in a blitz format - but can also be put on hold and resumed as time requires. This server will be up 24/7 and turns can be submitted when time permits. This will act as an intermediate between PBEM and Blitz, allowing rapid turns while both players are able to play during the same session, while also allowing turns to be submitted "off hours" if one finds time. It should be noted that long term SA Goon games are played using this kind of set up and work quite well. The notification page has been set up and features awesome music: http://www.brainwrinkle.net/tournament/ Currently there is nothing here, but we'll be setting up all the matches on this, as well as notifying all players. This will show the IP address as well as port for each player. BlanketThief is the co-admin as well as the impartial arbiter for any and all disputes. Please begin solidifying your dastardly plots and nefarious schemes. And selecting your nations. Match writeups would be awesome! ------------------------------------------- BEHOLD! From the masses they rose. TWENTY TWO pretenders to godhood heard the call of glory (a Sombre Unit to Satisfy their immense egos)!! TWENTY TWO pretenders to godhood heard the call of riches (fifty dollars! and possibly another 10 if its easy)!! These brave souls stepped forth to claim the one prize more valuable than godhood, more valuable than riches, and more valuable than glory... The COVETED FROSTED CUP!

Sure! This is open to any and all players who want to give it a spin. Also, really like your training thread. Duels are really great ways to learn since you can play them much faster than a larger game. |

For some odd reason, this prize is more appealing to me than the $50. |

*brainstorm mode* National hero with winner's nickname (if it is fitting) or at least some resemblance (slight hint in description which will be clear for informed ones and unnoticeable for uninformed ones). Easter egg concept actually. If placed properly, without highlighting or sticking out - there will be barely anything wrong in it. If there are plans to advance Worthy Heroes (or even some improvements directly to CBM) - such a national hero could be embedded there. So the winner of tournament would have his trace left in Dominion universe forever:) |

Maybe some tournament scheme/system is lacking (or just I'm not sure if I understood it). Lets imagine 17 people will sign in. How could they conclude who is winner? "FORMAT: Single Elimination". Does it mean the first loss is an elimination from tournament in a whole? It could make sense: nothing prevents weak player who intends to cheat the system from evading strong competitors for a long time, playing with weaker ones, but ultimately he'll have to choose strong foes. What else do we have in sports? 1) Qualifications How can it be implemented? Each one plays duel map with frosted and survive till turn 14:)? I can't imagine. 2) Group selection All participants are randomly divided on groups, then lets say each playes several parties. Only those whose victory points sum is higher than some threshold are allowed to pass further Thats really a lot of management work. 3) Some systems with gathering points (chess, tennis). So alternatives would be much more cumbersome. |
