Postby Tupence on Wed Feb 04, 2009 9:28 pm

I'm Ryan Seacrest and This...is American Idol!

This is for premium players only with 95% attendance or above please.
All games in this tournament are Sequential
The Tournament will begin April 1st 2009.


show: Details of preliminary stages
To become this year's American Idol, first you'll have to get through the audition!

Stage 1 - The Audition

We'll start with 108 auditionees - 54 will go through to Hollywood! First you need to choose where you'll sing your audition.

Please choose ONE of the following maps to play on:

NYC
San Francisco
Dust Bowl
Charleston
Great Lakes
Puget Sound
Texan Wars
Pearl Harbor

You'll play your chosen map 4 times (1 v 1), once for each of the four judges: (all Audition games are Standard)

Paula: Escalating, Unlimited, Sunny
Randy: Flat Rate, Unlimited, Sunny
Kara: Flat Rate, Chained, Sunny
Simon: Flat Rate, Chained, Foggy

You need 3 votes to go through! (If it ends up 2-2, the player who won Simon's vote goes through)

Stage 2 - Hollywood

Welcome to Hollywood!

It's all new and exciting, so the 54 players will each play a 3-player game on New World:

Standard
Escalating
Chained
Sunny

The 18 winners of these games are automatically through to the Semi-Finals.

The other 36 players are given another chance: you will each play an 4-player Doubles game (teams will be randomly assigned using random.org) on New World with the same settings as above. All the winning teams will go through to the Semi-Finals.

Stage 3 - Semi-Finals

The 36 players will be split into 6 Groups of 6.

Each group will play 1 game on American Civil War, and 1 game on USApocalypse. (Both games will be Standard, Escalating, Unlimited, Sunny)

Points will be awarded as follows:

1st place: 8 points
2nd place: 5 points
3rd place: 3 points
4th place: 2 points
5th place: 1 point
6th place: 0 points

The winner of each group and the 3 second-place players with the highest number of points will automatically go through to the Final 12.

The remaining 27 players will fight for the last 3 places in the Final 12 on the US Senate map. 27 players will get knocked down to 9 (3-player games) who will then get knocked down to 3 (3-player games again). Settings will be the same as the earlier Semi-Final games.

Stage 4 - Final 12

Congratulations on making it to the Final 12!

12 players in 3 Groups of 4
Standard, Escalating, Unlimited, Sunny

Here you get to start choosing your maps!

At this point the remaining players will PM me their choice of map from the following list:

show
Egypt: Lower
Egypt: Nubia
Egypt: Upper
Egypt: Valley of the Kings
Madagascar
Africa


Each group will play the maps chosen by the players in the group once.

Points will be awarded as follows:

1st place: 4 points
2nd place: 2 points
3rd place: 1 point
4th place: 0 points

At the end of the round the top 3 players in each group are safely through to the next round.

The players who finish last in their group will play off on the USA map with the following settings:

Assassin
Flat Rate
Unlimited
Foggy

The assassinated player is eliminated from the tournament, the other two players go through to the next round.

No points are carried over; you've got to fight hard every week for America's votes!
