The 2010 August Classic will follow all the rules mentioned in the basic game of Risk; the same game we all play on a nice afternoon with friends and family.
Please note that this tournament is extensive, and is more like a "league" than a tournament. Each player will have to play at least 10 games. Estimated Length: 120 Days, about 4 months
As a result, premium players are preferred, although dedicated freemium players are accepted as long as they keep 2 spots open. If you cannot make this commitment, PLEASE do not join!
The Official League Rules
Note that, as tournament organizer, I have the final say on all issues regarding rules and any other aspects of the tournament. I will attempt to be reasonable and listen to players´opinions but occasionally events will turn up where difficult decisions will have to be made. As organizer I have to make those decisions and players will have to live with them.
-Settings, for ALL games: 6 Players (with the exception of tie-breaker games) Standard Game Type Classic Map Manual Initial Troops Sequential Play Order Escalating Spoils Adjacent Reinforcements No fog of war Casual Round Length
-36 Players are divided randomly into 2 permanent and independent conferences of 18 players each; the Hardcore Conference, and the Epic Conference.
League Play -League Play will have 10 "game rounds". Every game round will have 6 games, 3 in each conference. Each game will have 6 players. Conferences will play independently of each other, so the 6 players in a game will come from the same conference. The players in every game will be randomly determined using Random.org. Every player is in one of the games per game round. Because there are 10 game rounds, all players are guaranteed 10 games.
-Two game rounds will be sent out at the beginning of this stage, and once a conference finishes a game round, the next game round will be sent.
-Performance in ALL games will be scored as follows: 1st place: 9 pts. 2nd place: 7 pts. 3rd place: 5 pts. 4th place: 3 pts. 5th place: 1 pt. 6th place: 0 pts. Note: Points do NOT carry over to the next stage; at the start of each stage, all players begin with 0 points.
-In the event of players having the same number of points after all games have been played in a stage. A game will be established with the players who have the exact number of points. The number of spots available for advancement among the players will correspond with the number of players advancing; for example, if 4 players have the same number of points and only 2 can advance, then a 4-player game will be created, and the last 2 remaining will advance.
-After all 10 game rounds are finished, the 12 players with the most points in each conference move on to the Conference Semifinals Round; 24 players remain at this point in the league.
If you have any questions, concerns, comments, send me a P.M. Thanks, WorldCup4James

What about North & South? This could be either war related, regional, or sports related.
Or Axis & Allies?

League Play will have 12 "game rounds".
I´ve shortened the length of the league play stage to 10 game rounds. The rules now state:
League Play will have 10 "game rounds"
