Setup & Structure
- First Phase
The tournament starts at CC Time: 2011-07-01 16:00:00 (9PM BST).
The first phase runs through to Sunday CC Time: 2011-07-03 12:45:00 (5:45PM BST). The first phase will therefore last almost 2 full days.
During this phase, players can join as many games as they wish.
Games will be 2-player and 3-player assassin, terminator and standard.
**Freemium participants will only be able to join the speed games once the speed game holiday has commenced at CC Time: 2011-07-02 00:00:00.
The last game in this phase will start no later than CC Time: 2011-07-03 12:10:00 (5:10PM BST) - at this time empty games will be deleted.
The top 50% of eligible players (according to win points percentage - see below) will progress to the second phase after a short break (this will be rounded-up if we have an odd number).
Players will be ranked by win points percentage.
This is calculated as follows:
- A win in 1 v 1 games counts for 2 win points.
A win in 3-player games counts for 3 win points.
(This reflects the real probabilities of winning different game types.)
Each players win points are added up and divided by the number of games played to give a win points percentage.
For players to progress they must have played at least 4 games, including 3 of the 4 different game types (1 v 1, assassin, terminator and 3-player standard).
The player with the best win points percentage from the first phase will also be rewarded with a General Achievement medal (should this player not finish in the first 3).
Second Phase
This phase starts at CC Time: 2011-07-03 13:30:00 (6:30PM BST) and runs through to CC Time: 2011-07-03 15:40:00 (8:40PM BST). The second phase will therefore last just over 2 hours.
During this phase, players can join as many games as they wish.
Games will be 2-player and 3-player assassin, terminator and standard.
The last game in this phase will start no later than CC Time: 2011-07-03 15:15:00 (8:15PM BST) - at this time empty games will be deleted.
If there are more than 15 participants in this stage then the top 8 eligible players will progress to the final phase after a very short break.
If there are 15 participants or less in this stage then the top 4 eligible players will progress to the final phase after a very short break.
Players will again be ranked by win points percentage (which will start afresh).
This is calculated as follows:
- A win in 1 v 1 games counts for 2 win points.
A win in 3-player games counts for 3 win points.
(This reflects the real probabilities of winning different game types.)
Each players win points are added up and divided by the number of games played to give a win points percentage.
For players to progress they must have played at least 3 games, and 3 of the 4 different game types (1 v 1, assassin, terminator and 3-player standard).
Final Phase
This phase starts at CC Time: 2011-07-03 16:00:00 (9PM BST) and will run until the tournament is completed (anticipated to be less than 2 hours).
It is anticipated that the final phase will be complete within 2 hours (although this cannot be absolutely guaranteed by organisers).
This phase will be a 1 v 1 knock-out bracket for the final 4 or 8 players (see above).
Losing semi-finalists will play each other in a 3rd-place play-off.
During this stage, if players are unavailable (i.e. do not respond to PM invites within 10 minutes, then a reserve from the previous round (or phase) will be sought. If no reserve can be found within 10 minutes then a bye will be awarded.
Prizes
The winner of the tournament will receive 6 months Premium membership. They will also be rewarded with a General Achievement Medal.
The runner-up will be rewarded with a General Achievement medal.
The 3rd-placed player will be rewarded with a General Achievement medal.
1st, 2nd and 3rd place will also be reserved a place in Game 10 million.
The player with the best win percentage from the first phase will also be rewarded with a General Achievement medal (should this player not finish in the first 3).
Prizes are donated by Entertainment team.
