Conquer Club

Winners: Wild_Tiger - lokisgal
Second place: OTE - EdwinG


Continue my Major+ Series of the Doubles tournament.

Updated (Sept 25, 2009):

Due to some drop-offs and time required to managed this tournament I have decided to amend the league format.

1. Starting from round 6, the bottom 4 teams will be eliminated from the tournament every round.
2. There will be 9 rounds in total. In the final round there will be 8 teams remaining.
3. The Round length is increased to 2 weeks.


Disclosing any opponents' information in the fog games IS PROHIBITED. The violating team will receive -1MP for that game, regardless of their result. The game will be re-created with remaining teams to settle the remaining points.

ALSO ANY ALLIANCES ARE PROHIBITED TOO in the multi-team games

This one will start July 20 or sooner. Similar to my previous, Spring League.

Please note that this tournament is going to have very heavy workload (up to 72 games per team) and 6 new games will be started every week. Do not join unless you want to commit to the heavy game load

The games settings will be as follow:
8 players doubles
Alternating Reinforcement (Adjacent/Chained/Unlimited)
ESCALATING spoils only
FOG only

There will be around 24 teams. They will be placed into 1 huge League, and paired up using Swiss Tournament System

There will be 12 rounds. In each round each team will play 6 games with different opponents. Win gives you 4 points, second place - 2 point, third place - 1 point. Most points win the tournament after 12 rounds.

There are no teams eliminated during the length of the tournament.

Entry Requirements and Sign-up procedures:

1. 2200+ points for each team member.
2. Players must play together at least 25 doubles games before joining this tournament. If you don't qualify because of this rule, please let me know, and I will use my own discretion.

4. To sign up post your team members here. Your partner must confirm the participation by posting here too.
5. Premium membership is required for the whole duration of the tournament.

Reserved #2

Im in.. hopefully with clearwater...but if not certainly with someone else.

I am willing to play if anyone is looking for a partner.

Played with agonzos in the winter, jf_520 in spring.
Me and agonzos jived pretty well, i was too conservative for jf's taste.

Anyway, if anyone is looking for a partner, just let me know.

ddgrimes

bigragooch and jgalioto are in, if you let me slide on the rules (only have 2053 pts right now). Big and I have played in many doubles tourneys and it would be fun to do so again.

Redfelt and partner...will confirm

I really enjoyed the spring tournament and I'd love to be in this one. I'll probably have to get a different partner because JCKING is considering quitting... And I'll also have to get my points up quick. But that shouldn't be to big of a deal.

So if you could hold a spot open for me, that would be great!

Lisbon101 and Jboy, sign us up

Chariot of Fire & Daryth

Thanks

reserve me a spot, will get back to you on partner

Lincecum and Lardass76 are in.

pjdonald and ddgrimes are in, if Andrew says so ....

I'm in I just need to scrounge me a mate that can hold a rank
Maybe Redfelt will team with me. He and I made an awesome tandom when we used to team together.

OTE and EdwinG

Andrew,

My apologies - I hadn't read the format in detail and only now do I realize it's 4-team doubs all in fog. I'll withdraw the entry for myself and Daryth if the rules remain unchanged.

My concerns would be manifold:

- a whole heap of arguments as to what should have been played by whom when a game is lost (minor problem, but it will surely lead to friction in the tourney)

- the possibility of secret alliances

- throwing a game to a lower-ranked team to prevent those in close contention from winning the points

- the likelihood of fellow clan members or friends being in different teams yet having their password(s) so that a foggy map can be viewed from different perspectives (the biggest problem)

Good luck with it if you stick to the format you've initiated. I've enjoyed the Spring Doubles League immensely and you've done a sterling job, so will be sorry to sit this one out unless the points I've made above prompt you to revise the settings.
