The Standard game type is the classic gameplay that Risk players have come to know and love.

With the ever increasing number of maps and game settings that the CC Admin and Community have produced, it certainly takes lots of skill to master each of them and still be able to call yourself a 'Master of Standard' games.

This tournament will pit players against others on each of their favourite Standard game settings, and see who is truly the Master of Standard!

Tournament Setup
show
Rules
  • Each round, you will play a two sets of five 5-player games (1 home and 4 away).
  • Players will be awarded points based on their finishing placing within each of the games.
  • At the end of each round, the 10 players with the lowest scores will be eliminated from the tournament.
  • Points for each round are cumulative, i.e. they carry over from previous rounds.
  • This will carry on until we have the final 5, where only one set of 5 games will be played.
  • The player with the highest score at the end of the final round wins the tournament!
Opponents will be assigned by Random.org.

Point Award System
1st: 10 points
2nd: 6 points
3rd: 3 points
4th: 2 points
5th: 1 point

Home Ground Advantage

This means that your selection of home map and settings is especially important, as it can truly make a huge difference to your standing in the tournament!

    FoW: Sunny or Foggy
All other settings will be fixed as follows:
    Game Type: Standard
    Players: 5 Players
    Troops: Automatic
    Order: Sequential
    Trench: No
    Round Limit: 20 Rounds

Tiebreaker
show
In case of ties, the following tiebreaker rules will be used, in order of priority:
  1. Points earned in the current round.
  2. Number of games won.
  3. Point totals without Home Ground bonus.
  4. Average finish placing in games.
  5. If all of the above are equal, a tiebreaker game will be played.

Signups
show
The tournament can take any multiple of 5 players*, with a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 50 players.
The tournament will begin either when the maximum number of players is hit, or when signups slow down.

You will not be able to change your settings once the tournament starts, so be sure of your choice!

(*Note: If the tournament begins with 30, 40 or 50 players, the penultimate round will have 10 players, which will be played with ONE set of 5 games and 5 players eliminated.)

The pace of those settings are usually a lot slower than others, and from what I gather, they aren't very popular choices anyway! I'm happy to allow them if there's reasonable demand for them.

Sorry but Trench isn't allowed! I've put your settings in apart from that, but you can change it if you don't like it without Trench.

Everyone till here added.

No worries, I can live without trench. To be honest I was just being lazy because I was too tired and skimmed the first post.
