Conquer Club

All right, this one is inspired by Portland's (my home town) recent mayoral race that included 18 candidates for the role in the city's first ranked choice election.

I've chosen Woodboro for this tourney based on dominating the airwaves for your campaign.
And I've chosen Madness to represent the need to reach out door-to-door with your campaign message

Tourney

Maps: Woodboro and Madness
Style: Everyone will play four 4-player maps with settings of flat, adjacent, sunny (20-round limit)
Everyone will also play a round-robin of 30 ... 1 vs. 1 maps with settings of escalating, chained, fog (20-round limit).

We will have two phases of voting.
Mail-in voting: 1 multi on Woodboro, 1 multi on Madness ... 15 ... 1-vs. 1 round-robin games involving both maps.
Election Day voting: A repeat of the above format.

Candidates will accrue votes based on how they perform in each of these maps.
Basically, win maps and get eliminations to gain the most votes. Get eliminated in a long battle and you will get more votes than if you go out early.

The total number of votes at stake on each map are the total troops + troops due at the end of the game.

Here's a general look at the scoring table.

Ranked Choice Eliminations by David Ball, on Flickr
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once all of the games go active, we will start releasing the early mail-in vote count.
Once ALL votes are in (all maps complete), we will start the ranked vote process.

The person with the least amount of votes is eliminated from the race, and their votes are dispersed to the other candidates based on how the others performed against the eliminated person.
Once a candidate has achieved 50% of the total vote, they win the mayoral seat (tourney).

The ranked choice cycle continues after each dispersal. The candidate with the least amount of votes is eliminated and another dispersal of their votes takes place.

Basically, you want to gain as many wins and eliminations in the quickest time to ensure you are accruing maximum votes.

Looking for three more candidates and we'll get this campaign started

Sign-ups seem stagnant, so knocking it down to the minimum CC requirement of 16 candidates, so one more sign-up and we'll get started.

Instead of 6-player multi games, those will now be 4-player multi games.

I like to play

Initial batch of games have been sent out.

I'll sent another batch of 1 vs. 1s early next week.

Time to hit the stump and sway some voters

Maps have been sent out through the Mail-In phase of the tourney (the halfway point of the vote gathering).

We have almost collected all of the Mail-In vote ... several multi games and one 1 vs. 1 matchup left on that side of things.

All of the new maps going out are part of the Election Day count. Still time to make a move, but the race is starting to take shape.

Hi there. Fun tourney. So when do we see the player standings?

Operating this one like an election, so vote results will go public one all the polls have closed (once all the maps are finished). Then we'll break down the election with initial votes and each round of the Ranked Vote process.

Until then, I'm just posting the blind status update that you see on the top post.

% of vote that has been counted, top vote getter share and bottom vote getter share.

I have all of the candidates blinded out on my excel sheet, so even I'm in the dark as to who sits where in the race
