Tournament of Gladiators RESPOND TO FORMAL AGREEMENT!!!!!!!!

by **Corman** on Thu Jul 24, 2008 10:01 am

Heres the deal this tournament will be based on the movie GLADITOR:

There will be 16 players, SINGLE ELIMINATION, 2 brackets, with 8 players in each bracket

Each player will be guaranteed two games AT LEAST!

After two games the two teams who are undefeated will earn the rank of Maximus or Caesar depending on which bracket they will choose to be in.

Please note that the maximus bracket will be playing on a CIRCUS MAXIMUS board while the CAESAR bracket will fight on an ANCIENT GREECE map!
I am new to the whole tournamnet thing so please work with me and if you have any comments or suggestions feel free to ask. I was planning on this tournament to work like the NCAA basketball tournaments starting from the SWEET 16 with the highest ranked players playing the lowest ranked in there one seed. But to make this interesting i am giving you guys the opportunity to take out the big boys early with a consultion game to determine ranks, then the actual tournament. At the start both teams from opposite brackets will face off to determine the ranks of the tournament. So eventhough you might have signed up on the CAESAR map you might end up on the MAXIMUS map at the start of the tournament. So let me explain this before it happens, the CAESAR map will be for the losers of the consulation games with the lowest ranked players. And once you lose a game and make it on the CAESAR map its do or die time, like a real gladitor would face. If you win the first game your safe and then if you lose on the mAXIMUS board you go straight from a winner to a person who is fihting for their life! So at the start you are guaranteed the map you signed up on, but know this, you are not safe anywhere. By the time you lose 2 your out and the games will continue untill 1 person is left on both brackets. Then the final with be decided with 2 games MAXIMUS and CAESAR boards like the NBA FINALS sort of way. You win you keep your home court advantage and so on! Good luck to all participants nd have fun!

ALL CONSULATION GAMES WILL BE ON THE HIGHEST RANKED PLAYER'S MAP!

in please maximus

what are the settings?

by **Corman** on Thu Jul 24, 2008 10:11 am

IM SORRY the settings are up on the instructions SINGLE ELIMINATION:
MAXIMUS brackets will play there first games on a Circus Maximus board with no cards, unlimited for all FIRST GAMES. Then the highest seeds will choose there settings: but make sure you guys send me your settings after you win the consulation games because I AM NOT A MIND READER! HAVE FUN TO ALL! I KNOW they'll be alot of questions because this tournament will get really confusing but it will all be worked out before the tournament so don't WORRY!

The consulation games are supposed to be fun for you guys but if you don't really want to be in them then its not really my problem. Would you rather have the opportuntiy to play at least 2 games or get eliminated right away! I'm old skool and i believe players should be able to earn there way back if they lose a game then they continue to win there other ones to become #1! REMEMBER ONLY 16 players can sign up so: i take people according to when they post there team here! If you sign up to late i'll put you on a Reserve list: I am planning on this tournament filling up quite fast and if it becomes popular according to you guys next time i'll make 36 teams!
