Welcome to my first effort at hosting a tournament. Hopefully this will be the first of many.
Information:
Number of Players: 32 (+3 reserves)
Prize:
Along with the everlasting glory of tournament champion, the tournament winner will get to choose 6 numbers to be entered into the UK's National Lottery. YES, this tournament could make you a millionaire!! (though the odds are 14,000,000:1 apparently).
Requirements and General Rules:
* Premium Membership required (4 games played at a time).
* Players have to join games in 48hrs (extended at weekends). After the deadline you'll receive a reminder and 24hrs to join or be replaced. After the first round a player will be replaced with the player with the highest points total not to qualify for that round.
Maps:
Players can choose their own map to play on. Players can also choose from the following settings:
Sequential or Freestyle
Standard or Terminator
Flat or Escalating (no spoils not allowed)
Adjacent, Chained or Unlimited
Foggy or Sunny
(Bonus points will be given or taken away depending on your performance on your chosen map. see below)
Gameplay:
Players will be randomly drawn into 8 groups of 4, though if two players have the same map I will move one.
First Round:
8 groups of 4 players. Players will consequtively play a game on each players map with points awarded for position (see below). The top two will go through.
Second Round:
4 groups of 4 players. As round 1
Semi Finals:
2 groups of 4 players. As round 1
Final:
Four Players. The winner of the Tournament will be the first to win two maps. This round will be played one map at a time. The first map will be the one used by the highest points scorer in the semi final with a count back to the previous round in the event of a tie. The second map will be whoever has the second highest points score from the semi finals etc......
In the event that the four maps result in four different winners then a winner takes all final game will take place. This will be on a map yet to be decided but will not be one chosen by the four finalists.
In the event of a tie in order to progress:
First Round: A playoff on a map used in the group but not by the participants.
Second Round: Count back to previous round, then playoff.
Semi Finals: Count back to previous round, then playoff.
