Haha yeah it does seem like it. But still, we have two extra days until the end of the registration period.

I believe we can reach 64 participants in those 48 hours.

[JohnAarson]

Well, I guess we're really closing the registrations on 32 players. Cool!

I'll be waiting now for the priviliges to run the new tournament.

[JohnAarson]

Well... this is awkward (great way to start a post):

I've just learned that polymorphic games can't be played by freemiums. That obviously mean that when a freemium and a polymorphic user are drawn together, the game just cannot occur.

As something obviously has to be done, what I'll do is ask individually to each person that uses polymorphic to choose different settings (and a different map if they prefer) WHEN, and ONLY when, playing against freemiums.

I am truly sorry if any inconvenience was caused to anybody.

[Mad777]

I'm not really a fan to see rule changes like this, because each player are allow to have only 1 home map, you will then ask almost a third of the registered players to have the option for a 2nd Home map if playing against a Freemium player. This is unfair for those who choose Standard type and won't have a "joker" and be able to chose between 2 home maps.

It should be other option to prevent unfair setup like you mentioned. One option could be asking everyone to have a 2nd home map, between those 2 maps & setting one has to be non-Poly.
Other option could be non-Poly game type accross the board.

Please advise...This tournament is pending until fair outcome is found, I won't remove the privileges because I trust you.

Neither am I a fan of this sudden change of rules. Unfortunately, some action has to be taken ASAP. I did not see adding the extra map as givin the poly players as a "joker". I saw it as the least bad thing for them, since they couldn't use their initial strategy (poly). That being said, I do understand your point of view and I shall comply.

Other option could be non-Poly game type accross the board.

Since I feel the "non-poly" game type across the board would by extremely unfair for everybody who chose poly, I guess I will ask everybody to choose a 2nd map and 2nd set of rules.

Please advise...This tournament is pending until fair outcome is found, I won't remove the privileges because I trust you.

I appreciate the trust and something will be done so we can start this tournament fairly for everyone and as soon as possible.

[Mad777]

Thanks for your understandings!

Haha no, you can't say you always play first. :p

I'll send you (and everybody else) a PM asking for a second map in a matter of minutes. You can then confirm if you want that 2nd home map inside the spoiler or not.
