Continue my Major+ Series of the Doubles tournament.
New Rule - Disclosing opponents position 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
Please note that this tournament is going to have very heavy workload (around 100 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
This one will start first week of December. Similar to my previous, Summer League.
But this time I decided increase the spectrum of the games.
So there will be 2, 3 and 4 team games. Also all maps will be played, excluding build up ones (Feudal Wars, AOR series etc) and small maps (less then 6 countries per person). Almost every second map will be played in fog (like Waterloo etc). For detailed see below. All reinforcements (adj, chained, unlimited) will be played. All spoils will be played (no cards, escalating, flat), but only for the 4 players games. For 6 and 8 players games we will have only escalating games.
I expect 60 teams to sign up. They will be placed into 1 huge League, and paired up using Swiss Tournament System
In each round each team will play three 4-players double, two 6-players double and one 8-players double.
Entry Requirements and Sign-up procedures:
2200+ points for each team member.
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.
I can deny or allow entrance of the particular team at my own discretion.
To sign up post your team members here. Your partner must confirm the participation by posting here too.
Premium membership is required for the whole duration of the tournament.
Once you are signed up, you don't have to maintain 2200+ rating.
I am currently at 2501 I want to play and looking for a partner, I have played with mbass the last 2 summer seasons and I though we have shown improvement I think I would like a season with someone else. So I am looking if anyone reads this please PM me and if Andrew sees fit to let in a relatively new team than I am good to go. I will also do some looking on my own and within my clan, but if anyone desires write me asap
Thanks DB

sounds even better than last time, let´s hope it makes monkis try new maps, i tried to push them but failed^^ But i´m not sure if the 6 and 8 player games won´t last too long, perhaps you make them esca? no cards 6 or 8 player games might end up in build games.

3 and 4 team games? Don't you expect those will turn into stalemates?

khaz and neph signing up.
andrew, i dont know if this is the right place for it but how about..
all 4p games - no cards
all 6p games - flat rate
all 8p games - esc
flat rate doesnt have much fan base and is only of real use in 6p.. in 8p it will result in more stalemates (though less than no cards)

Too bad. 6 and 8 player doubles are quite lame, not to mention we're likely to see teams throwing games on purpose to maintain their lead (reference: any other tourney).

The idea of 3/4 team games is interesting, but the possibility of stalemate is too detrimental imo. I fear we'd be stuck on round 1 for a long time.... not to mention players headhunting leading teams and such.
Also, why were those players disqualified? Such as aliakber1001 and gp24176281? Or is that a private matter?
Regardless, you have run some great tournys andrewB - look forward to this one too.
