This is the eighth tournament in my series based on my original homeland -- Czechoslovakia -- and Oneyed's excellent map of it. Each of the 25 tournaments in this series celebrates some aspect of a different town or city on the map, and matches it to some game type or setting on CC. To avoid favouritism, I have randomized the order of the towns. For more information on this series visit the DKs CSFR Frag series Infocentre. This tournament celebrates the city of Praha (or Prague) my wellspring, the place of my birth and considered by many to be the most beautiful city on earth.
Today Praha is known for happy things like beautiful architecture, artists' festivals, a thriving busker community, great food and beer, and more opera houses per capita than any other place on earth. It does, however, have a darker side. Many incidents of murder and mayhem darken Prague's history, including some of the world's most famous Assassinations. Appropriately, then, this is an ideal opportunity to feature the Assassin game type in the CSFR series.
Sign-ups: Premium only. I think I can handle up to about 90 players in this, so sign-ups will stay open for twenty days or up to 90 players, whichever comes first. I will be sending out PMs to players who have played in my tournaments previously. However, the first 48 hours I will leave this unpromoted to give everyone a chance.
Maps and Settings: Forty percent (40%) of the games will be on the CSFR map. The remainder will be on other maps, as specified in the spoilers below.
Six of the eight phases will feature Assassin games (Automatic, Sequential, with a 30-round limit.) Two of the eight phases (the Interludes) will feature non-Assassin games, and it is possible that phase 3 (1st Interlude) may include some manual or freestyle games. Most phases will feature 6-player games, phase 1 will feature 4-player games, and phase 3 (1st Interlude) which may include any game size. Regardless of what size games a phase is trying for, it may vary depending on the number of players remaining in the tournament. Game lists will be randomized separately, so if games of a non-specified size are required, it will not be the same players in all of them. All games will have a 30-round limit.
Prizes: To celebrate my birthplace, I will have more prizes than I have ever before given out in a tournament! There will be a grand total of Six Years of premium handed out, as follows:
3 months premium for the winner of each of the eight phases.
One year premium to the tournament winner.
One year premium to the player who scores the most in the creative components.
Six months premium to the second-place player overall.
Three months premium to each of the third, fourth, and fifth players overall.
Three months premium to each of the second, third, and fourth-placing players in the creative components
Creative Components: Each phase will include a creative component. Creative components will ask you to post a picture or a story to add to the colour and flavour of the tournament. After each phase I will score your creative contributions. Everyone who participates will get 1 point, the best will get 5 points, and the 2nd best will get 3 points. It is not mandatory to participate, but there are benefits to participating.
The person who scores the most creative points overall will win a year's premium.
I am applying for a GA medal for the creative component.
Creative score will be the tiebreaker for the phase win prizes.
The players who win the most creative points in the first two phases will help to choose the games for the third phase.
The players who win the most creative points in phases three and four will help to choose the games for the fifth phase.
The timer for creative components starts when the first invitation for that phase is sent and stops 7 days later.
GA Medals: I am applying for 2 GA medals. One will be for the most creative participant, the player who contributes the most to the creative components and scores the most points in them. The other will be for the person who wins the most of the non-Assassin games. Note that GA medals are not official until approved.Update: GAs have been approved!Subject: DKs CSFR series 08 -- Praha

Scoring: The bulk of the score will come from the Assassin games. These will score as follows:
Winning a game by killing your target -- 7 points
Winning a game by any other means (ie. round limit) -- 3 points
Surviving a game (not winning, but still being on the board at the end) -- 0 points
Losing by being assassinated -- minus 1 point
Losing by deadbeating from a game or by killing the wrong target -- minus 5 points
Other games (if used) will score as follows:
Standard games (if any) -- 2 points plus 1 extra point for each additional player in the game
Terminator games (if any) -- 2 points plus 1 point per kill
Team games (if any) -- 2 points plus 1 additional point for each opponent (player in the game not on your team)
Polymorphic games (if any) -- 3 points for a Poly dubs win, 4 points for Poly trips, and 5 points for Poly Quads
General Game Load: Five games per phase, for a total of 40. I will wait until each phase is well advanced before sending the next, but I will not wait for all games to end. On average, therefore, I expect you will be playing in six or seven games at a time.
Winner of the first phase is molespe, with a total of 38 points in the first round of Assassinations! Molespe received a 3-month premium prize on Jan 24th.
Winner of the 8th Phase is Silly Knig-it, with 21 points. Silly received his 3-month prize on December 19th, 2016.
An honourable mention to I AM NATO who racked up 20 points.
