Basics of the Roast: Read for an Overview of the Tournament Players will be divided into groups of 4. The player with the highest score (the score they had when they posted they would join the tournament) in the group will begin play by selecting a map (
a player may select a single map only once throughout the entire tournament ) and a group of settings (this player is known as the
Roaster ). The other 3 players will individually battle the player on that map and those settings (1v1 games).
The player who beat the Roaster in the fewest number of rounds will then become the next Roaster, selecting a map and settings. Play then continues until only one player in the group remains (see the Scoring section in the Rules).
The last player remaining wins the group and advances to the next stage.
Players are then divided into groups of 4 again, and the process repeats itself until there is only one group remaining (4 players left). The last player alive in that group wins the tournament!
I will be sending private messages to the Roasters for their choice of map and settings, so there's no need to post them here.
The full rules are below for those who truly care! You can skim them too because important things are highlighted. And I'll be sending rule reminders all throughout the tourney. The Official Rules of the Pig Roast: Holidays 2012 *The tournament organizer has the final say on any issues connected to the tournament and tournament play. *Random.org will be used when randomness is needed. Any settings that are added to Conquer Club following the posting of these Rules are ignored for purposes of tournament play, and may not be included in any games in the tournament.

64 Determining the Groups show: Determining the Groups
Determining the Groups base score Players will then be divided into 4 "pots." Roaster each group will have a player from Pot 1, Pot 2, Pot 3, and Pot 4.
Gameplay show: Gameplay
Gameplay Roaster piggies Only "quenched" maps may be selected; in other words, those maps designated as [BETA] may not be selected until they no longer have that designation. The random setting may not be selected by the Roaster as a "map." The Roaster must clearly select a map and not leave it up to "randomness." . All games must be Sequential and Casual . Roasters may select a Rounds Limit if they wish; in other words, Rounds Limit is considered a setting. Games that are created with the Trench Warfare setting will also be created with either a 30 Rounds Round Limit, or a 20 Rounds Round Limit if selected by the Roaster, to avoid stalling stalemates. The piggy who beat the Roaster in the fewest number of rounds will then become the next Roaster Rotation (or round), selecting a map and settings of his choice. If two piggies win in the same round, then the piggy with the higher base score becomes the next Roaster. Play then continues as above. Once the Roaster selects a map to play on, he may NOT select that map for the rest of the entire tournament! Regarding the Roaster It is good to be the Roaster
Scoring: VERY Important Read this or risk being confused throughout tournament play!
show: Scoring
Scoring If a "piggy" loses, then a letter is added to the standings board next to his name . The first letter is a "P", the second is an "I", and the last is a "G" (thus you are a roasted PIG and eliminated after 3 letters).ALL piggies still alive in the group win in their 1v1 games against him; if this occurs, the Roaster gets ONE letter. This applies regardless how many piggies are left in the group, even if there is only 1 piggy left. A letter is REMOVED . BUT , if this occurs when the Roaster does not have a letter, than NO letter is removed. Regarding the Roaster It is good to be the Roaster
Example show: Example
Rotation 1 : Wesley has the highest base score in the group, so he becomes the Roaster. He selects Doodle Earth, with Freestyle, Escalating, Manual, Unlimited, and Foggy as his settings. The tournament organizer denies Wesley the right to play Freestyle games because it is against the rules Rotation 2 : Wesley now selects Doodle Earth again, but is denied by the organizer because you can't select the same map twice Rotation 3 : Cecilia selects Classic, with Escalating, Auto, Chained, and Foggy. She loses to Jimbo but defeats Sally Anne and Wesley. Sally Anne and Wesley thus get another letter, indicated by an I next to the P on the scorecard. Jimbo, the only piggy who beat Cecilia, becomes the Roaster.Rotation 6 : Sally Anne and Jimbo have been eliminated (spelling the word PIG), so only Wesley and Cecilia remain. Wesley has PI and Cecilia has PI. Wesley is the Roaster, and defeats Cecilia. A letter is therefore removed from next to Wesley's name for defeating every piggy still alive in the group, so he now has P. Cecilia gets a letter for losing to the Roaster, so she now has P, I, and G, spelling the word PIG. Cecilia is eliminated.

The Sizzling Sixteen Example
The Fiery Four show: The Fiery Four
The Fiery Four The player that won in the Sizzling Sixteen in the fewest number of Rotations will become the Initial Roaster . If players won during the same Rotation, they will be ranked according to base score, with the player with the highest base score becoming the Initial Roaster.Example Ravenous Roaster
No-Show Policy show: No-Show Policy
No-Show Policy Inactive Roaster Clause a) Should the Roaster of a group that has at least 2 piggies still alive fail to provide the organizer with a map and settings after 3 days (and any additional grace time added by the organizer) upon being informed he is the Roaster, then, according to the aforementioned No-Show Policy, each of his opponents will be "credited with a win." As a result, the Roaster will get a letter because he has, effectively, lost to each alive piggy in the group. b) Should the Roaster of a group that has only 1 piggy still alive fail to provide the organizer with a map and settings after 3 days (and any additional grace time added by the organizer) upon being informed he is the Roaster, then, according to the aforementioned No-Show Policy, his opponent will be "credited with a win." As a result, the Roaster will get a letter because he has, effectively, lost to each alive piggy in the group. If you know you cannot commit to the tournament, it is greatly appreciated if you let me know before the tournament starts. A Roaster that is a non-premium member will be allowed grace time in joining multiple games in a round, so long as he is making an active effort in joining games quickly (even if this means using more than 1 game slot for a short period of time). Forfeits may result, however, should delays become excessive.
Important Reminders show: Important Reminders
Remember: Once the Roaster selects a map to play on, he may NOT select that map for the rest of the entire tournament! No freestyle, and no speed games! Settings CAN be repeated, as long as they are with a different map.
I appreciate your attention, I know it's a lot.

Final Shout-Out Don't forget to post your current score when you sign up! Frequently Asked Questions show: FAQ
Q: After the first stage of group play, I will eventually play people from other groups, once all my opponents have PIG, right? Q: I just beat the Roaster; shouldn't he have a P since I beat him!? The Roaster cannot "get a letter" unless ALL piggies still alive in the group win in their 1v1 games against him; if this occurs, the Roaster gets ONE letter. This applies regardless how many piggies are left in the group, even if there is only 1 piggy left.
Q: Can maps marked as BETA be used in the tournament? Q: So if I lose to the last remaining "piggy" in the group, do I still get a letter? Q: Can I use a map someone else has used? If I'm reading it right, I just can't choose the same map twice. Do letters carry over to subsequent stages, or does everyone start with a clean slate?
