[TPA6] Birth of a Subway (Winner - TOFU)

Fifty four years ago the first automated subway went into service in New York.
I will take one backup team in case someone is unable to get their team together

Looking for eight teams of four to mark this event as we visit various cities in a double elimination contest

This is a Tournament Players Association Year 6 [TPA6] event, and is governed by its rules, guidelines, and judgments which are detailed here: viewtopic.php?f=89&t=215395
All are welcome to join and participate in the association. You do not need to do anything more than join one or more of the TPA6 events that will be announced on Mondays. Check back on the scoreboard to see how you're doing:

Looking for eight teams of four for a double elimination contest. Quads
A freemium team would be welcome as there will only be one game issued at a time.
The game load will be one. I will issue games as rapidly as possible consistent with keeping the brackets somewhat even.

We will play four city maps and possibly a fifth Rail USA



So we will start in NYC for our first set of contests. Where subways have always been fun.

Quads, auto, seq, esq, chained, fog, 30 rounds

Then we will move to Chicago for the second round, whether you are in the Winner's or Second Chance bracket
Our chance to ride the El.

Quads, auto, seq, flat, adj., fog, 30 rounds

Then it is off to Sydney for our third leg.

And finally back to Vancouver.

And if the second chancers can push it, we will see the USA by rail

Quads, auto, seq, esq, chained, fog, 30 rounds

Games are to be picked up within twenty-four hours. (If you have a sitter please tell them that they are allowed to accept tournament games.) Failure to pick up game will result in your opponent being given the win.
show: Exceptions to this



Please list your team and team leader (in case there is a problem about something). Yes please all four names in the order that you want them playing. You may switch the order between games. Just post to the thread.

Double elimination means you have to lose twice. In the winners bracket eight teams play four games, four team advance. They play two games and two advance. They play and one team advances.

Meanwhile the losing teams go into a second bracket and play each other, and advance as above. So your team has to lose twice to be eliminated. It gives your team a chance if you just stuck with a bad drop or a set of bad dice.

Quads - four people on a team.

Hope that makes things clear.

We have our eight. I need those of you who have tpd's as team members to determine them. Hopefully within a day or two.

I would also like team names unless your are fine with just the initials.

We are underway with the first games sent out. Two of them have some sort of a problem in the computer will not accept one player. Trying to find the answer.

All round 1 games complete and posted on the bracket.

All round 2 games out. Everyone is playing Chicago for this your second game of the tournament, no matter if you won or lost the first one.

Unfortunately, for Round 2, two teams missed invites. Those games have been forfeited and victory awarded to the team that showed up. For my team that was a second loss and we are out. The other team moves to the second chance bracket. I have pulled both of those games.

Still active waiting on a game to finish. that will give me a team for the next game, which will need to finish before the next game.
Just one of those. And we hope the winners bracket doesn't forget they are in this by the time I give them a game again.

Just issued the first fourth round game, Vancouver.

Only 3 (maybe 4) games left in the tournament.
