Update March 17th: The tournament now is officially FULL and ready to start. If you wish to sign up as a reserve, you are still very welcome to do so!
Update, March 08: A GA medal has now been approved for the "Most Expressive Excursionist."
The Most Expressive Excursionist medal will be awarded to the player who scores the most "colour and flavour" points, regardless of how well they do in the games.
If any of you were growing up as metalheads in the Seventies, you probably remember the great Ted Nugent album, Intensities in 10 Cities! Well, okay, maybe it wasn't a great album, maybe it was just alright. But for some reason, that clever title has always stuck with me, and I always wanted to do something with it. Thanks to CC, I now have an opportunity to do so.
As the title implies, you will go through ten cities in this tournament, and CC just happens to have ten city maps available. (We could stretch it to fifteen or even more if we wanted to push the definition of "city map" and include things like City Mogul, but luckily we don't need to do that, because ten is the perfect number to match the perfect title!)
The cities will be: Montreal, Vancouver, San Francisco, Cairns, Sydney, Hong Kong, Berlin, Charleston, Chicago, and New York.
I will try to keep the tournament moving by starting the next phase as soon as possible -- as soon as there is no doubt who will carry on to the next city. So, for instance, if there is a Montreal game still going, but all the players in it already have enough points to guarantee that they will go on to the next phase, then I will go ahead and start the Vancouver games.
Okay, sign-ups are open -- come on in!
