This is a Tournament Players Association (TPA) event, and is governed by its rules, guidelines, and judgments. All are welcome to join and participate in the association. You need do nothing more than join one or more of the TPA events that will be announced each Monday. Check back on the TPA scoreboard in the Tournaments--> General Info forum to see how you're doing. Sonic's Hoe-Down show: intro
Take your random partners by the hands; it's time for a hoe-down, CC-style.
show: Rounds 1-3
Random.org will select your random partners for you 3 times at the start.
show: Rounds 4-6
Round 4 will not commence until the first 3 rounds are complete. Again random.org will select the teams. If the number of players remaining cannot be divided by 8, then the remaining players at the foot of the randomised list will sit out the following round.You cannot sit out two consecutive rounds. e.g. All players who sat out Round 4 will automatically go to top of the draw for Round 5, while only those who played in Round 4 are randomised. EDIT - Once a player has sat out for a round, he cannot sit out again at all (unless we reach a point where everyone has sat out one game)
show: Rounds 7 onwards
From round 7 we will switch to randomised dubs (2v2). Again random.org will select the teams. If the number of players remaining cannot be divided by 4, then the remaining players at the foot of the randomised list will sit out the following round.no player will sit out two consecutive rounds. EDIT - once a player has sat out for a round, he cannot sit out again at all (unless we reach a point where everyone has sat out one game)
show: Settings
Maps are Random.
show: TPA Scoring
This is a tourney of attrition. At the point where you exit the tourney, your TPA points will be (80 minus the number of players still in) divide by 80 and multiply by 3. So if you exit while 36 players are still left in, points would be (80-36)/80 x 3 = 1.65.
