Posted: Mon Aug 18, 2008 3:07 pmSlaughterball World Championship
Eighteen players will enter the field to test their might against the world. Only one will prove victorious in an epic tournament stretching across seven continents. Prove your worth in combat to advance to the next level of competition. The prize? THE WORLD. Oh, and six months of premium membership!
Seven maps. Seven continents. Who will be the Slaughterball World Champion?
Official Rules:
Entry is limited to eighteen players. There will be three rounds of play, consisting of seven games total. The players will fight in three groups of six for round one, two groups of six for round two, and one group of six for the final championship game. Groups will be randomly assigned at the start of each round. Each map will be a standard victory with sequential turn order, flat rate card bonuses, chained fortifications, and no fog of war.
Everyone plays in the first round, but further advancement is determined by total points earned per round. You are awarded points based on your finish in each game. To advance to the second round, you must finish in the top four of your group of round one. To advance to the third round, you must finish in the top three of your group of round two. The winner of the third and final round will be crowned Slaughterball Champion and will receive six months of premium membership. If there is a tie in the first two rounds among players (i.e. two fourth-place players) there will be a head-to-head playoff.
The points structure:
1st: 6 points
2nd: 4 points
3rd: 3 points

7. Any suicide attacks will result in a removal from the tournament.
8. Missed turns which equal being kicked from the game will result in being removed from the tournament unless valid reasoning is provided.
