This is a Tournament Players Association Year 4 [TPA4] event, and is governed by its rules, guidelines, and judgments which are detailed here: https://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewt ... 3#p4278332
All are welcome to join and participate in the association. You do not need to do anything more than join one or more of the TPA4 events that will be announced on Mondays. Check back on the scoreboard to see how you're doing:

Struggles in the Snow

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, I've started the Finals as a new tourney on Challonge.com. When I made the original, Challonge had not yet introduced two-stage tourneys. Rather than have to screw around with editting the old one and possibly losing all the data, I just made a new one.

To avoid confusion, I have given the teams the numbers they had on the original.

The teams, and their chosen maps and settings for the Finals:
  • Team 8 (ckyrias, dana1971, Epitaph1)
    • das Schloss (default settings: Chained, Foggy, NS)
    • Transsib1914 (also default
  • Team 17 (iAmCaffeine, pleve, patrick1744)
    • Antarctica (default except Escalating)
    • Northwest Passage No Spoils, Parachute, Fog
  • Team 12 (Chard, Condor, Clanlord Carl)
    • WWII Ardennes Chained, No Spoils, No Fog (basically default)
    • Das Schoss Chained, No Spoils, Fog
  • Team 5 (small pox, M00NZIE, carp1968)
    • Soviet Union
    • Northwest Passage (both default)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(balance of OP)


A TPA 4 Premier tournament for 20 teams of 3

In this tournament you will recreate some of the most brutal struggles in the snow that men have ever lived through. 20 premium-only teams will participate in a full round-robin. Each set in the round robin will consist of 3 games: one of each team's home map from the list of Optional maps, and a third on the mandatory map, featuring the most terrible struggle in the snow that ever happened: the Battle of Stalingrad. After the round robin, four or more teams will advance to a final round.

How to sign up: (please pay close attention!)
  • Sign up with a complete team of 3 premium members. I will not play matchmaker or accept singles.
  • Choose one map from the list of Optional maps. In order to produce reasonable variety, each of the Optional maps may be chosen only three times. Please look over what Optional maps teams before you have signed up for to avoid the hassle of being asked to change your home map.
  • All games will be Sequential, Automatic deployment, 24-hour turns, no Trench, and a 50-round limit. When you choose your optional map, you may choose Fog or No Fog, and any Spoils and Reinforcement options. The default if you don't choose will be No Spoils, Chained and Foggy.
  • The Stalingrad map will be played on the default settings unless both teams in a match agree to different settings, in which case I will grant their choice. One match will start at a time, a few days apart and the list of who you are playing will always be posted in advance, so there will be time to engage in these kinds of discussions if you wish.


show: optional maps
These maps represent places where men struggled in the snow. Some, like WWII Ardennes, represent military battles fought in the snow. Others, like Antarctica, represent places where the land itself is the enemy. Still others, like Canada, represent no specific struggle but the accumulation of many lesser struggles over a long period.

Arctic
Canada
Das Schloss

Scoring: you will score three points for winning on your home map, four points for winning the mandatory game, and five points for winning on your opponents' home map.
show: modification sept 16th
jghost's team has resigned from the tournament.

I think it's too late now to bring in another team, and scoring system didn't foresee the possibility of an entire team dropping. What to do, what to do....

My plan is as follows:
Once the missing team has completed all its active games, I will do an average of the score that they got and other teams got versus them. Then, from here on in, any team that should face them will get that average score. It's not perfect, but I think it will work.


show: the Finals
The top four teams after the round robin will advance to the final, which will be a new round-robin. If any other team has the same number of points as the 4th-place team, then that team will also advance. Thus, the finals may consist of more than four teams.

Points will reset to zero before the round robin. Scoring will follow the same pattern as in the main round.

In the finals, each set will be five games instead of three. You will have two home maps instead of one. Yes, you may choose different home maps in the final than you did in the round robin. There will be no restriction on how many times a map can be chosen in the final, but you must choose two different ones for your two home maps. And yes, of course they still have to be from the list of Optional maps above.

17/20.

Three more!

If I don't get three more in the next few days, I'll start it anyway, but it would be nice to reach the original target.
