I'll get the raw deal out of the way first: In the first round each person will be playing
90 games.
That said, this is an ambitious tournament. Whereas Map Blaster is the same settings on EVERY map, Every Single Setting will be EVERY possible setting (within limits) on ONE map, in this case Classic.
Round SetupAll games will be done in Sequential play order to keep the tournament from spiraling out of control.
Points will be assigned based on finishing position in each game. More on that in the second post.Round 14 groups of 8 players will play all possible combinations of:
Standard, Terminator, Assassin, Doubles, Quadruples game setting
Escalating, Flat Rate, No Cards card setting
Adjacent, Chained, Unlimited fortification setting
Sunny, Fog fog of war setting
Settings Breakdown for Round 1Lowest-scoring player in each group is eliminated.
Round 24 groups of 7 players will play all possible combinations of:
Standard, Terminator, Assassin game setting
Cards, Forts, and Fog same as before
Settings Breakdown for Round 2Lowest-scoring player in each group is eliminated.

Round 7 Changes- All players will be placed in one final group.
- Original stalemate rule is back in effect. More than 4 at Round 30, or Round 50.
Round 6 Changes- All groups will be re-randomized from the pool of people playing.
Round 5 Changes- All groups will be re-randomized from the pool of people playing.
- Stalemate now occurs only at Round 50, no stop-gap at Round 30
Round 4 Changes- All groups will be re-randomized from the pool of people playing.
Round 3 Changes- All groups will be re-randomized from the pool of people playing.
- Stalemate now occurs if more than 3 people are left at Round 30
Round 2 Changes- The map that will be played on will be Classic Art instead of Classic Shapes.
- All groups will be re-randomized from the pool of people playing.
Other RulesStalemateDue to the possibility of buildup games in Flat Rate and No Cards, any game lasting more than
50 30 rounds will be considered over as far as the tournament is concerned. No points will be awarded in stalemate games.
EDIT: Number of rounds changed from 50 down to 30. FURTHER EDIT: If 3 people or less are left by round 30, the game isn't stalemated until round 50.Group Expansion
If this tournament proves more popular than expected, more groups will be admitted into the tournament in 8-player batches. In other words, if the Reserves fill up within 3 days of the tournament filling, then they will be added as an additional group, and so on until the 3 days have expired. Later rounds will be adapted as needed to accommodate more groups. Tournament started, no longer in effectReporting GamesTo make it easier on me, I ask that any completed games get their [game] links posted in the tournament topic so I can pop it up in a new tab and get the scoring information I need.
