Check the website for more information on who is participating and the current status of the tournament.

I borrowed the Poker Superstars structure and stayed as true to it as possible while making it fit for the site. I really like the idea of crossing these two genres because, like poker, CC is a highly luck as well as skill based game.

Qualifying Rounds (24 Players)
40 total matches (6 Player Sequential Standard Unlimited)
(Each person will play 10 matches, not all at once.)
((Everyone will play against every other player at least once, but often more then that.))
Points will be earned; top 16 move on. Points determine who you play and how many votes you get for the Final 16.

Each Match is Scored Thusly:
Winner: 10 points
Runner-Up: 7 points
3rd place: 5 points
4th place: 3 points
5th place: 1 point
6th place: 0 points

Top 16 (16 Players)
You will be split into 4 groups of 4 based on point totals. All these games will be sequential and standard but players will vote on the other settings. Players can split their votes between several settings if they want to for some reason, but only the winning settings will be used for the game.

Points are added here as well:
Winner: 10 points
Runner-Up: 7 points
3rd place: 4 points
4th place: 0 points

The winner of that game moves on to Round 3. The remaining 3 play a 3 FFA after using their point total from the previous match plus round 1 to vote again. The winner of that game also advances. No points that time.

Quarter-Finals (8 Players)
Exactly the same as last time except two four person groups instead of four.

Semi-Finals (4 Players)
Best 2 out of 3 1v1 matches between 2 groups of the final 4. The person with the highest point total chooses settings (must be sequential), then the other player chooses, and if there is a third game the person with the highest point total chooses again.

Final (2 Players)
The winners from the Semi-Finals play against each other for a best 3 out of 5. The person with the most points between the two of them gets first pick at settings, then they alternate until there is a winner. (again, must be sequential).

FAQ
Q? This is confusing as all hell.
A. I�ll do the grunt work, all you have to know is that 24 �famous� players get to join and that winning is good. Oh, you�ll also need to know which map you like the most and if you prefer flat rate or escalating. But if you don�t I can just assume you don�t care and that you like classic.

Q? You abandon tournaments a lot! How will I know this will be different?
A. First off I�ve abandoned two. One(Slayer) because all interest had died; the other (lucky dice) because work and school stopped me from keeping up with it and most of the players had gone missing (although the remaining players harassed me a lot, understandably, but I thank them for their support and participation). I�m limiting myself to one at a time now, this won�t be abandoned. If it is iceman can permaban me from hosting tournaments or something.

Q? Is this premium only?
A. Probably, but not necessarily. It�s unlikely there are many famous/infamous people without premium. But if they want to play and they exist then they are welcome.

Q? I don�t fit anything!!! How is this fair!?
A. Just join up under Rank. I�m guessing most of the really high ranked players won�t want to touch this because, frankly, every other division I listed is filled with people that have horrible ranks. So you have a chance, as far as fair goes, I only have a mild understanding of that word.

Q? When will this be starting? Updated!
A. Today! :D

Q? I'm on the list but my name isn't capitalized, why?
A. I type em hows I sees em. If you don't capitalize your name on account creation I'm never gonna do it.

Q? Tiebreakers?
A. Holy crap, how could I forget that!? If there is the need for tiebreaker matches between the qualifiers and Top 16 they will be 1v1 best 2 of 3, classic escalating unlimited for speed. 1v1 games are usually very fast. Best 2 of 3 helps combat luck involved, which is present regardless of 1v1 settings.

Q? When you say players will be split at Top 16 based on point totals, what do you mean?
A. Based on rank it will go thusly.
1, 5, 12, 16 are a group
2, 6, 11, 15 are a group
3, 7, 10, 14 are a group
4, 8, 9, 13 are a group
So the top 8 players should have a good chance of moving on, but they still need to fight for it.

Q? How many points do I need to make it to Super 16?
A. I believe it is around 44, but it is probably less then that. I did 1040/24 to figure the average score at the end if points were distributed evenly would be 43.3333. So it was cheap math. I'll know better when we are closer to the end of the very long qualifiers round.

I've decided that since the vote is so close and the vote for what I should do about it is really close that...
I'm just going to tie in card choices with the map choices.

Ok so my first thought was Great Lakes Flat Rate but I guess that's kind of dumb for both of us to do that.

Well, Coleman, I don't know if I fit any of the categories except for "Other" but if you are willing you can put me in as somewhat famous in regards to organizing tournaments.

If I don't quite count, I'd be willing to serve as a reserve if need be.

Let me know.

I'd be concerned, if you hadn't just joined about 2 weeks ago and if your post count was higher. I'm guessing you haven't seen much. Sorry you don't qualify for anything.

I care what you write, you're still a person and a member of the CC community. Plus I'm bored. Thanks for the comments.

I think I should probably start inviting people. They feel special when that happens. Plus Poker Superstars is invite only. Although it's only the first day (roughly) and I already have 6, so maybe not... Hmmm... :-k

EDIT: Instead of invites, I'll just make a list.

Some Spammers I'd like to see play:
reverend_kyle
Fircoal
hecter
Skittles!

Some Flamers I'd like to see play:
The1exile
Ronaldinho
b.k. barunt

Oh, and Dancing Mustard, but I have no clue if he is more of a Flamer or Spammer.

Some Moderators I'd like to see play:
lackattack
AK_iceman
AndyDufresne
wicked

Some Cartographers I'd like to see play:
DiM
cairnswk
qwert
gimil
Jota
WidowMakers

I thought about that, but so many people prefer flat rate, so I made it a vote. If you joined in it would be 4 flat rate vs 4 escalating votes. Also, after the qualifiers if you ended up in Top 16 (which you probably would) you could vote for escalating there as well. Thanks for posting though.

Edit: People who already voted can change their vote to escalating if they found his argument persuasive.
