Masters of Standard II This tournament is open only to premium players.
The Standard game type is the classic gameplay that Risk players have come to know and love.
With the ever increasing number of maps and game settings that the CC Admin and Community have produced, it certainly takes lots of skill to master each of them and still be able to call yourself a 'Master of Standard' games.
This tournament will pit players against others on each of their favourite Standard game settings, and see who is truly the Master of Standard!
Each round, you will play a two sets of five 5-player games (1 home and 4 away).
Players will be awarded points based on their finishing placing within each of the games.
At the end of each round, the 10 players with the lowest scores will be eliminated from the tournament.
Points for each round are cumulative, i.e. they carry over from previous rounds; but older rounds will decrease their weightage at a compounded rate of 50% reduction per round.
This will carry on until we have the final 5, where two sets of 5 games will be played (1 home for each finalist, and 5 other randomly selected maps used in the tournament).
The player with the highest score at the end of the final round wins the tournament!
Opponents will be assigned by Random.org.
Point Award System 1st: 10 points 2nd: 6 points 3rd: 3 points 4th: 2 points 5th: 1 point
Here's the twist: all points awarded on your home settings will have a 1.5x multiplier when added to your point totals.
This means that your selection of home map and settings is especially important, as it can truly make a huge difference to your standing in the tournament!
The possible home settings you are allowed to choose from are as follows:
Map: Any non-Beta map (including Random), except Conquer Man, Hive, and USA 2.1. Spoils: Any (i.e. Escalating, Flat Rate, Nuclear, Zombie or No Spoils) Reinforcements: Any (i.e. Chained, Adjacent, Unlimited, Parachute or None) FoW: Sunny or Foggy
All other settings will be fixed as follows:

USA 2.1 isn't allowed, as mentioned in the first post! Tentatively signing you up with Random map and those other settings, but you may change your settings before the tournament begins (:
