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
