August 2021 Monthly Challenge Blind Companion Tournament: Gold
Mods can join! (except groovysmurf and EBConquer)
Hello people,
This is a blind companion tournament for the August Monthly Challenge. That means you will be signing up without knowledge of the map. This tournament will be played on the map and settings needed to receive the gold token.
We are looking for 16 players to play 15 games over the month of August. Three games will be sent once per week.
People with priority get in first regardless of when they post to join. You receive priority by signing up for the previous month's challenge BEFORE the sign-up deadline and not getting in.
Schedule August 1st - 3 games August 8th - 3 games August 15th - 3 games August 22nd - 3 games August 29th - 3 games
Settings Map: One small, non-complicated map Players Per Game: 4 Game Type: Standard Initial Troops: Automatic Play Order: Sequential Spoils: No Spoils Reinforcements: Parachute FOG: No TRENCH: No Round Limit: 20 Round Length: 24 Hours
Rules Each round of games will be filled randomly, using random. org. Whomever has the best record over 15 games, wins. In the event of a tie, tiebreaker game(s) on the same map and settings (though as Poly 3, 2 player games) will be sent until players are no longer tied. For example, if two people tie, one game will be made and the winner will also win the tournament. If three people tie, three games will be made (A vs B; B vs C; A vs C) and the winner of two games will win the tournament. If four people tie, six games will be made (A vs B; A vs C; A vs D; B vs C; B vs D; C vs D) and hopefully just one person wins all three of their games and we can end this craziness! If five or more people tie, I'll just quit the site and let someone else deal. Tie-breaker games will not be played in August and therefore will not count towards the August Challenge scoreboard.
If you quit the tournament you are not eligible to get a medal for the August Monthly Challenge!
Signups end July 31st!
Multiple iterations of the tournament will be run if filled. Keep signing up until the deadline!
MrsChester didn't accept invites and hasn't been on since 7/26 according to his/her page. Elaterate is being put in as he asked to be a reserve before sign-ups were closed.

Having issues here. Big Al 2012 hasn't been onsite since the 23rd and Rythum55 has declined his last 5 invitations with no explanation. This isn't like the Bronze, so I really need to fill these two slots in the final 6 games asap.
Darin44, I know you offered to be a reserve, but it's very late in the tourney and neither player has won a single game. Can I still put you into the last 6 games?
For the other spot, I was considering just taking it myself and then not really playing. Just drop/end so that the slots are full and the turns are taken, but I don't pose any threat whatsoever to win. Would anyone have an issue with that?
