Inaugural Conquer Club Doubles Tournament PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP IS REQUIRED TO JOIN THIS TOURNAMENT.
Tournament Details: As I contemplated what to do with my time now that I no longer has large responsibilities for the site as a whole I decided that what I would enjoy most is to run a nice franchise tournament using the doubles format. I thought for a while on how to best organize such a tournament, and finally decided on a "season" style tournament where the best doubles teams can arrive, choose their best home settings, and battle for a place in Conquer Club history. With that in mind, I bring you the Inaugural Conquer Club Doubles Tournament, which I hope you find equal to your fine tournament tastes!
The tournament will feature 32 teams who pick their own home settings. All maps and settings are allowed EXCEPT FOR FREESTYLE OR SPEED. Also, each team needs to post a team name for reference during the tournament and will need to pick a division to compete in. If you pick a division that is already full, I will randomly assign you to a division still in need of teams. The first round game schedule will be posted once registration is complete. There will be two conferences, each with 4 divisions and each division with four teams. Premium membership is required as you will play anywhere from 2-4 games at the same time throughout the tournament.
First Round: Each team will play 20 games (10 on their home map, 10 on their opponents home map). Standings will be compiled for wins and losses and the teams with the best records will advance. You will play each team in your division twice (once at home, once away). The four division champions from each conference as well as the two next best teams will move forward to the Second Round of play.
Second Round: In each conference the two best teams will receive a Second Round bye and advance directly to the Conference Semi-Finals as a reward for their performance. The remaining four teams will be seeded 1-4 by their First Round records and will play a 3 games series (#1 vs. #4 and #2 vs. #3) to determine who continues. Home map advantage goes to the higher seeded team and the first team to win 2 of 3 games will advance.
Conference Semi-Finals: The four teams (2 from the Second Round and 2 who advanced directly) will be seeded 1-4 again. They will then play a 5 game series (#1 vs. #4 and #2 vs. #3) to determine who advances to the Conference Finals. Home map advantage goes to the higher seeded team and the first team to win 3 of 5 games will advance.
Conference Finals: The two semi-final winners from each conference will face off in a 7 game series where the highest remaining seed receives home map advantage. The first team to win 4 of 7 games will advance to the Tournament Finals.
Tournament Finals: The champions from each conference will compete in a 9 game series with the team having the better record from the First Round receiving home map advantage for the series. The first team to win 5 of 9 games will be crowned the tournament champion and will receive 6 months of free premium for each member of the team.

do all 10 home games have to be played on same map and settings? can we do chained and escalating? adjacent and escalating? any 10 we want on different maps?

Alright folks, the list is updated, but please, remember to give me all of your information. Only 2 of the 10 teams so far have done so. You need the following:
Home Map Card Setting Fortification Setting Fog or Sun TEAM NAME <-- I will make an incredibly embarrasing one for you if you don't!!!
