Many Lands IV - At Home in a Foreign Land [Winner nibotha]
Posted: Wed Dec 01, 2010 11:34 amWelcome everyone! This is the fourth in the series of the Many Lands Tournaments. This one is Many Lands IV - At Home in a Foreign Land. It follows the format of Many Lands II - The European Tour (http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=94046), but with one major difference. This time the players choose the maps, but they must have never played it before. So each players home map will be foreign to them!
The first round will have 27 players divided into 9 groups of 3. Second round will have 9 winners divided into 3 groups, with the finals being the winners of the second round. Players will be randomly placed into the first round groups.
The games will be 3 players, and each group will play 3 games (freemium players welcome!), one on each of the players "Home in a Foreign Land" map (details below). Players need to win two games to win the group and advance. If all 3 players win 1 game, a playoff game on a Random map will be played, the winner advancing to the next round (if it's the finals, then they would be the champion).
All games will be Automatic, Terminator, Sequential, Escalating, Unlimited, Foggy.
VERY IMPORTANT - Players MUST have played 500 games to qualify, and have 3 maps on which they've never played. When players sign up they must list the 3 maps chosen, one for each round. Players MUST HAVE NEVER PLAYED the map before the start of the round they will be playing them in (and I'll be checking - so make sure). If they have played the map by the time I plan to post the game, they will be given one chance to pick another. If they are out of maps to choose from, they will be eliminated - no exceptions. In the rare case this may occur, in the first two rounds a reserve will replace the player. If it's for the final, I'll choose the second round player with the most wins that did not move to the final, with a tie breaker being winning the on the maps they had picked to try.
Sign up example: morleyjoe, Round 1 - Europe 1914. Round 2 - Jamaica. Round 3 - WWII Poland.
Once 27 players are in, I'll add up to 3 reserves. Players have 24hrs to join or will be replaced promptly. If the games of round 2 go into the Christmas break (December 24-January 3), I will hold off starting the final until January 3rd.
