Description:
This is similar to a robin hood tournament with a twist.
Each round, everyone will play 1 polymorph(4) game against each opponent. The games will be sent out 4 at a time to not overload anyone. People with the lowest score will be eliminated each round, see the round details below for more info on that.
At the same time, there will be a freestyle battle for the middle ground. The players will be divided in groups of 12 max and compete in a predetermined map. The winner will get an additional point and the right to bombard next turn. To bombard, simply choose a target, anyone in the tournament. You will fight 1 polymorph(4) game against that player. If you win the bombardment, you get another point and the target loses a point. There is no penalty for losing a bombardment.
Round 5 is 5 polymorph(4) games between the top 2 players.
Round details:
Round 1 - 18 players
Round 2 - 14 players
Round 3 - 10 players
Round 4 - 6 players
Round 5 - 2 players

Special rules:
If a player wins the middle ground but doesn't have enough points to move on, he may still bombard next turn and fight for the next middle ground. If the bombardment gets him enough points to not be eliminated next round, he will be back in the tournament.
The winner of the middle ground in round 4 does not get to bombard during round 5. If a player doesn't have enough points to move on but wins the middle ground at round 4, he is still eliminated.
In case of a tie, the score of previous rounds is added to determine who gets to stay in the tournament. In case of a tie with that score added, the round will be populated with more players. In case of a tie at round 5, a bonus round will be added before round 5 to eliminate the necessary amount of players.
The winner of the middle ground at round 4 will get to bombard in the bonus round, but the winner of the middle ground in the bonus round will not get to bombard in round 5.
