Brought to you by the Community Team.
Almost half of Conquer Club's members (49.3% at the moment) are American, and thus it is fitting that we do something special to celebrate the United States. Starting this July 4th, we will have a special USA Supertournament.
Basic Structure: Each week for 50 weeks, there will be a tournament representing one of the 50 states, followed by 3 "bonus" weeks representing D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Pacific possessions. Each of the 50 state tournaments will be identical in structure. Only the map will change. (The three bonus weeks may be slightly different from the basic 50.)
Weekly tournaments: Each tournament will be for 24 premium players. Each will have seven rounds: one round of 1v1, one round of 4-player Standard, one round of 6-player Terminator, one round of 8-player Assassin, two rounds of Polymorphic, and one round of Doubles with a random partner. Every tournament will result in a score.
Joining: Each tournament will re-iterate for one week. (In other words, as soon as one copy of the tournament fills, a new copy will be created, for one week.) You may only join one copy of each weekly tournament. There is no limit to how many you can join in total. Thus, you can join every week. There is no cost to join, but you must be a Premium member. Also, to qualify for the major prizes you must remain Premium to the end.
States and maps: The following is a list of the weekly states and maps representing them. In some cases, where we have an actual map representing the state (New Jersey, California, etc.) the choice of map is totally obvious. In others, such as Dust Bowl for Oklahoma or Pearl Harbour for Hawaii, we have a map with a very strong connection. Some of the others, the connection is more tenuous, and there are some where we are still undecided about the best map to represent the state. This are shown below as (map TBA), and in the coming weeks we will have forum polls to fill those vacancies.
