yeah can someone put that idea to the organisers? I'm sure there would be much uptake on it.

i hope to go (gotta sweet talk the wife into this one), not too bad of a drive for me. ptlowe should be coming with me. if paul and courtney are there, and if wain really flies from england and incandenza from LA, we might shut this mofo down. i mean we'll get so wild they won't have it next year......

so just be ready, jim thorpe, mwahahahaha...... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

It's pretty much going to be a reenactment of the third act of Beerfest, only with a little risk sandwiched in there somewhere.

Anyone that needs assistance

If anyone is having difficulty with any aspect of planning, we have tourney regulars who are always willing to help out a fellow risk player.

Just ask steelhorse or myself if you need help. To those of you who have already registered in the event, we look forward to making your aquaintance. You will have fun guaranteed.

A few notes on Rules

Postby Robinette on Mon Aug 20, 2007 9:54 am

There is a thread and poll in the General Discussion Forum that would be worth looking at if you are thinking of going to Jim Thorpe....

If you want to see the whole thing, go here:
http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25565

This is the opening post:

We are all familiar with CC Rules, but did you know that the Official Rules are different...

And some of you are planning to attend the IRTOC (International Risk Tournament of Champions)... I figure it wouldn't hurt to be practicing those rules now. So I thought it would be worthwhile to show the differences between the Official Rules, the IRTOC rules, and for fun we'll even add the Original French Rules known as The Conquest of the World...
___________________________________________________

Official rules... IROTC rules... French rules...
Bonus Cards for all have always been Escalating (4,6,8,10,12,15,20...)
And they ALL utilize the Classic map, Standard (no teams), Sequential, and 3-6 players 6p only for IROTC (typical) In 1980 an optional 'Rule Varation for Risk Experts' was introduced to escalate by 1 (4,5,6,7...)
___________________________________________________
Fortification...

Official rule is Adjacent Fort
IRTOC uses Chained Fort
French rule is Adjacent Fort
___________________________________________________
The Initial Setup...
CC Rules are random selection, with 3 armies on each territory
Original French Rules deal the cards and you start with ONLY 1 army on each territory
IRTOC rules deal the cards to determine initial territories which each get 1 army, and then players sequentially place reinforcements 1 army at a time until they have no more to place.
Official Rules players take turns selecting unoccupied countries and then continue in sequence placing reinforcements 1 army at a time.
___________________________________________________
And finally, the Elimination of Opponents...there have been several official versions of this rule over the years, including one version that required you to have 6 cards before you could cash-in mid-turn, if you had only 5 cards after eliminating an opponent, you could NOT cash... listed in green is the Original and most prevalant version of this rule
CC Rules - must have 5 or more cards to cash a set
Original Rules - any set can be cashed mid-turn, even if you have only 3 cards
IROTC Rules - same as Original Rules, 3 cards

I will be there on Friday some time around noon.


Also . . . for the people that are going to this tournament . . .

WidowMakers was kind enough to design a shirt special for this event! You can find it in the CC Shop http://www.zazzle.com/conquerclub/produ ... 9981615442

You can customize it how ever you would like! Also, there are 6 different colors you can get the "hello my name is", make sure to select only one.
