[edit-dr] New TO: sonicsteve | New tournament thread: LV's 1v1 Series : Random

This is a Tournament Players Association (TPA) event, and is governed by its rules, guidelines, and judgments. All are welcome to join and participate in the association. You need do nothing more than join one or more of the TPA events that will be announced each Monday. Check back on the TPA scoreboard in the Tournaments--> General Info forum to see how you're doing.

This is to be a series of 1v1 tournaments. To be played on certain maps in which I enjoy or find to be good gameplay.
This is the TPA version.....which has been slightly extended to accommodate more participants

Sign up/Rules/Notes

1. premium players only as game load is always more than 4.
2. All games to be sent via pm links. If you join the wrong game then you will receive a 1 game penalty.
3. You have 48 hours to join all games I will not always send a reminder after 24 hours. So its on you. If you are late you will lose that game. In round 1 you will have 1 week to join your games. This is to accomodate the higher game load.
4. Past winners will have a place held for them for 24 hours max. (As current tourny is in last 2 games of the final round the winner will have his/her spot reserved as soon as that person is known)
5. Any issues complaints are to come to me. My rule is law.
6. Currently there are 32 spots available for sign up. If there is enough interest I can extend the tournament to 64 participants.

On the tie breakers--I can understand using random.org if needed for seeds that are qualified for rounds 2 and 3, but if you have a more than a 2 player tie in that 8th spot and cannot decide it by a clear winner, I think they should all play each other again rather than having random.org choose a final spot.

Just my opinion.

And on a side note:

15 games at a time for 31 games total.

--I understand what you will do here but I thought I would be funny

I honestly dont think ill need random.org...this will be the 4th time ive ran this style of tourny....and there has yet to be a tie i couldnt resolve. I just put random.org in there just in case...
I think that perhaps I will use a tiebreaker gamee if its for that last spot to move onto next round.
But like i said it has yet to get that far

Personally I think there should be only 6 or 10 games at a time, especially for people who are in a lot of TPA events. Either way though, I'm in.

If enough people have an issue...ill consider changing the first round. I just want to get that one out and done as quick as possible. Hence the heavyish game load.

Actually as an afterthought...ill just extend the time for joining those games in round 1 to a week.
That way you can join in your own time when your game load suits you...But things keep moving
