You'll be playing all the available maps on CC with fixed starting positions for 8 players.
There will be 3 rounds and you'll have to play 8 maps on each.
I need 32 players and 2 reserves; premium account is required and at least 98% of turns taken.
The winner of the tournament will get a 12 months of premium membership extension prize from fumandomuerte.
The groups draw for Round 1 will be done via Random.org.

The settings for all the maps will be Automatic Deploy, Sequential Turns, Casual game, Escalating Cards, Fog of War & Chained Reinforcements except for Das Schloss where you'll be able to Manually Deploy your initial troops.

Maps list:

• City Mogul
• Feudal Epic
• Jamaica
• New World
• Treasures Of Galapagos
• WWII Poland
• Peloponnesian War
• Das Schloss

Group E: Best 4 scores from Groups A & B
Group F: Best 4 scores from Groups C & D
Best 4 records from both Groups E & F advance to round 3

Round 3

The best of the 8 maps wins the tournament.

Scoring system (points earned per map):
You can score 2 ways according to your final standing on the game and killing other players as follows:
Winner - 15 points
2nd - 10 points
3rd - 7 points
4th - 5 points
5th - 4 points

2 extra points per player killed.

Tie breaker:
If needed, it will be played on Feudal War with the same settings (automatic deploy).

Rules:
*You have 48 hours to join your games.
*Since all the maps are to be played with Fog Of War you need to honor the setting by not giving any relevant information about positions or number of troops.
*Breaking any of the above rules will result on your eilimination from the tournament.

I'm currently going through the completed games. I'll get the qualifying players up soon, and PM them to ask if they're continuing (:

[angola]

I can't remember if I advanced or not, but I'd like to continue.

Update

The scoreboard for Round 1 has been created and uploaded. Players that are currently advancing are bolded.

So far only phillipm has given up his spot, and thus Gromph will be taking his place.

Currently awaiting the tiebreaker game between Blinkadyblink and adam666 in Group A.

Also... fumandomuerte has agreed continue with the premium prize!. This means whoever will wins will get the 12 months of premium as promised! (:

[anamainiacks]

Update

The tiebreaker looks like it'll finish soon enough, with the spoils values being huge now. As such, the games for Round 2 have been created and sent out.

Hopefully nobody chooses now to pull out of the competition, especially from Group B or D, if not we'll have to wait for yet another tiebreaker game! So do join your games, and remember that the premium prize still stands!

For those in Group E, join your games first, and I'll send the games to the tiebreaker qualifier once their game is done.

Scoreboard will be created once the last player for Round 2 is finalised (:

Update

coacheberhardt hasn't signed in since 16 October, and won't be continuing in the tournament. Group F may take a LOT longer to start because of this... so sorry guys! I'll let you guys know when the proceedings from here are confirmed.

[anamainiacks]

Update

The second tiebreaker is finally complete, and Group F can now begin! The scoreboard, albeit blank, has been uploaded (:

[anamainiacks]

Update

There's 2 games left to be completed for Group E, while there's only 1 left for Group F. So far, only jrh_cardinal has an undisputable spot in the finals, while the remaining 7 spots remain up for contention, based on the performance of individuals in their remaining games!

[anamainiacks]

Update

Both Groups still have 1 game running for the round.

Group E already has their top 4 finalised, as demy7 will get a minimum of 7 points in the last game, while adam666, the closest competitor, will get a maximum of 19 from the last game. This means demy7 will still stay at least in 4th place overall, making the list of players making it to Group G, Pixar, angola, alt1978 and demy7!

As for Group F, while the top scorer jrh_cardinal is ensured a spot in the finals, the rest of the positions are still a toss up, depending on how the players place in the last game on Das Schloss!

[anamainiacks]

Update

Half of the players have been eliminated from the last game of the Round, and with that we have confirmed our top 4 players for Group F, being jrh_cardinal, shaneback, taxmanjle and TheForgivenOne!

TheForgivenOne currently has 1 point less than 5th placed Gromph, but since he's assured at least 5 points from the last game, he will get a score of at least 62, which none of the last 4 players can beat.

I'll be sending out a PM to the 8 qualifying players with the games. The deadline for joining is 2-3 Jan, since some may not want to start new games over the new year period (: New scoreboard will be created once all 8 players take their spots, and no replacements are made.

Good luck!

[anamainiacks]

Update

2 games in the final round are done, and demy7 currently leads the pack, with alt1978 trailing closely behind.

There's still many points left up for grabs though, so anything can happen from now till the end!

Scoreboard has been added (:

[TheForgivenOne]

Holy crap, I'm doing better than I thought

[anamainiacks]

Update

3 games have been completed since the last update, with lots of changes in the lower positions of the scoreboard.

demy7 and alt1978 remain at the top 2 positions, with demy7 increasing his lead. However, we should also note that demy7 can increase his score in both remaining games, while alt1978 only has 1 game left to do the same.

Everyone still has a chance to clinch that top spot though, should demy7 be taken out early of the games.

[anamainiacks]

Update

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to declare the winner with one game still running, but since it has proved to be a stalemate I hope I can go ahead with this. The scores from the last game will not affect the winner of the tournament.

Without further ado, demy7 has mastered the starting positions and fought his way to the top, emerging the champion of the tournament!

12 months of premium will be awarded by the original tournament organiser, fumandomuerte.

Premium Prize has been awarded to demy7. Thanks to all the people that took part of this tournament and specially to anamainiacksfor reviving it from ashes.
