This tournament is a fun way to explore maps you might not play often or to challenge yourself on maps you enjoy! Also, to pay homage to some great literature!

I have chosen 16 popular series/books and assigned a map to each one. When you sign up to play this tournament you will chose a book, and the map which that book represents is your 'Home Map'. I tried to tie the book and the map somehow, kudos to you if you can see the connection because some are ridiculous :lol:

Game Settings:
  • All games will be played with the following settings regardless of map: Standard, Sequential, Escalating, Adjacent, Foggy

Tournament Info:
  • 16 players

  • Maximum of 3 games played at one time
  • Opponents will be chosen at random using Random.org

  • Round 1 - Chapter 1 (16 players)
      Players will be paired up(broken into 8 groups) using random.org and play three 1v1 games. One of each of their home maps, the third will be on a random map. Best two of three will advance to the next round.
  • Round 2 - Quarter Finals (8 players)
      Players will be chosen(broken into 4 groups) using random.org to play three 1v1 games. One of each of their home maps, the third will be on a random map. Whoever wins the most of the three games will advance.
  • Round 3 - Semi-Finals (4 players)
