Band of Brothers SUPER CUP - Season 2

WELCOME to the world of CC 'SUPER' Tournaments!

So Called because they are among the LARGEST, MOST FUN Tournaments which contain 'LIVE' Scoreboards, Commentary and HIGHLIGHTS throughout the event!

After a SUCCESSFUL FIRST SEASON of the SUPER CUP with 166 players, we're ready to start the second season.

This Tournament is the SISTER to the MOST SUCCESFUL TOURNEY to ever hit CC! The Band of Brothers Super League.

You DO NOT need to be a player in the LEAGUE to enter the CUP! It will give you a great taste of SUPER LEAGUE RISK and is a great introductory to the CC 'SUPER' Tournament!


But, it's not just for RISK GLORY we fight, there are prizes too!

The PRIZE is HUUUUGE!

Every Season in the Super League, players battle through thick and thin for a 1 in 10 chance of a 3 League SUPER PROMOTION...............

In the SUPER CUP, there is a HHHHUUMMMUUUNNNGGGOUS Prize Boost!

The SUPER CUP offers Players a MMMAAAASSSIIIVVVEEEEE 10 League SUPER-DOOPER PROMOTION!


***If you are a New Player to the world of SUPER LEAGUE RISK and you win this Tournament. You can start in the Super League and use the 10 League Promotion immediately!
***If you are an existing Super League Player, Every Season you will be PROMOTED to the MAX from your current League until all 10 extra Promotions are used up!
***10 League Promotions are from Extra Promotions Spots if Available. Extra Promotions EXPIRE when the following CUP has completed.


The Tournament itself will comprise 2 Phases...........


- A SURVIVAL phase to whittle out the weakest 90% of players in our Ranks...........

- And a KNOCKOUT phase to take us from the 32 Survivors at the end of the Tournament..........

- To 1 CHAMPION of the SUPER CUP



RULES

This is a Round based Tournament where each Round needs to complete before we commence a new Round of Games.
It is also a fast moving Tournament, the SLOWEST MAPS are BANNED to allow steady progression through the Tourney.


SURVIVAL PHASE

Each Round each player will play 3 Games against the same opponent. 1 Game on each of the Players HOME MAP and 1 Game on a RANDOM MAP.

The SOLE OBJECT of the SURVIVAL PHASE is to reach the KO stages. When we get to the KO Phase, POINTS become meaningless! Up to that Phase, Points accumulation will only get you BYE's to get closer to the KO's! But these BYE's become CRUCIAL. Because players will FALL while you automatically advance to the next Round!

The SURVIVAL PHASE continues until ONLY 32 Players....or less SURVIVE!

In season 1, with 166 participants, it took 11 survival rounds before we reached the knock out phase. In season 2, it might take a few extra rounds, because we expect more players to participate!

HOME MAP
- Each entrant selects a HOME MAP at the start of the Tournament. This will remain as your HOME MAP for every Round.
- You accept Game Invites Last - Can move immediately taking full advantage of your opponent not getting any snaps!
- Settings: Auto, Seq, Flat Rate, Adjacent, Foggy, No Round Limit.

AWAY MAP
- This is a Game on your OPPONENTS HOME MAP.
- You accept Game Invites First - Your Opponent can move immediately taking full advantage of you not getting a Snap!
- Settings: Auto, Seq, Flat Rate, Adjacent, Foggy, No Round Limit.

RANDOM MAP
- A Game on a RANDOM MAP (randomly selected each Round from the Maps that are not BANNED).
- It will be SUNNY so both Players will be invited at the same time.
- Settings: Auto, Seq, Flat Rate, Adjacent, Sunny, No Round Limit.

SCORING
- Win 3-0 = 2 Points.
- Win 2-1 = 1 Point.
- Lose 1-2 = Zero Points, but.......You SURVIVE to progress to the next Round.
- Lose 0-3 = TOURNAMENT ELIMINATION regardless of your points total.

BYES
- For every 40 Players set to participate in a SURVIVAL ROUND, The Tournament Leader will receive a BYE in the following Round (excluding Rd 1 Obv).
- For example, if 300 Players progress to Rd 2, there will be 7 BYE's up for Grabs. If only 250 make it, then only 6 BYE's will be up for Grabs.
- You cannot accumulate any points in a Round where you are lucky enough to have a BYE.

ODD MAN BYE
- If this leaves an ODD number of players. An additional BYE is added........The ODD MAN BYE.
- Meaning the next highest player on the Scoreboard also gets a BYE.

TIE-BREAKERS
1. Points
2. Who had most Points in the Previous Round, then in every Previous Round back to Rd 1.
3. Lowest Total Game Duration of All the CURRENT Round Games***
4. Lowest Total Game Duration of the PREVIOUS Round Games***

***All Start Times of Games will be 12:00 CCT on the Match Day Set Up and will be the same for all players. It is this time and not the actual start time of the game that is used to calculate Game Durations.
***Where Games are closed as Predicted Result, Completion time is counted as 23.59 CC Time on the day the Round Ends.


ROUND DRAWS
To determine each players opponents in each Round, After the Players on a BYE have been removed, It will be a RANDOM DRAW between the 'Top Half' and 'Bottom Half' of the remaining players on the Leaderboard.



KNOCKOUT PHASE

- When there are only only 32 SURVIVORS remaining, points are DISCARDED and............we enter the KO PHASE of the Tourney!
- If we move to the KO phase with less than 32 Players, Points will continue to decide who get's Byes in the following Round.
- Points accumulation will be 1 Point for a 1 Match Victory (3-2, 4-3, etc) and 2 Poins for a larger victory (4-1 or 5-0, 5-2 or 6-1 or 7-0, etc)


Round of LAST 32 and LAST 16

CCFA: CUP CHAMPION

It's all over, and, from 256 Starters, we are left with 1 CUP CHAMPION!

Winner of the 10 League SUPER DOOPER PROMOTION, The Player receiving the adoration of Millions of RISK Players World Wide, The Respect of every Super League Player there has ever been and there is to come, The Dude with the 'CUP WINNER' listed in his Trophy Cabinet, The Man with the Plan, The Bruiser from Britain, The Player running so Hot that if you stand too close to him you get a sun tan............OUR NEW CUP CHAMPION........................'FEEL THE'.......................

heatz

And he actually won the Cup quite comfortably. It's been over for a while but there was the 3rd Placed Play Of still going on. But, I'm interested to see how he done it because he was up against a true 'LEGEND of the BOARD' in 'The Skewer' ESQuire. Who, was terribly unlucky to fall at the very final hurdle in this HUMUNGOUS TOURNAMENT! He won't be too disappointed though. He has no need for extra promotion spots, he is in fact in the running to be crowned THIS SEASONS PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPION! He is sitting in 4th only 3 points behind the Leader. But back to the CUP FINAL, here is how it was won:

'Feel The' Heatz HOME MAP was Age Of Realms 2: Magic. And in the 3 Games in the Final he only started 1/3. But when you advance far in The Cup, or, reach the Top Super Leagues, everyone is an EXPERT on their HOME MAP. And Heatz showed his class here. Despite only 1 start, he went on to win 2/3 to take an early lead.

On the RANDOM MAP in the Final, we went to San Francisco. And this is where things got really tough for our eventual CHAMPION. The Runner Up ESQuire started ALL 3 GAMES on the Random Map. With 5/6 starts in the Final so far ESQuire must be wondering how he lost this! Again 'Feel The' heatz showed his class. He managed to LIMIT THE DAMAGE to only a 2-1 LOSS on the RANDOM MAP despite 3xSECONDS! This made the Score 3-3 heading onto ESQuire's HOME MAP which is Age Of Realms 3: Mayhem.

This was indeed the AOR FINAL with both Players opting for these Maps as their HOME MAP. Our CHAMP managed to make a slight come back on the number of starts here. heatz started 2 of the 3 Games here meaning he only got 3 STARTS in the Final and still WON! With 2 Starts, he managed to close the Win out by winning the 2 Games he started to make the FINAL SCORE in the CUP FINAL...........................:

'Feel The' heatz 5 v 4 ESQuire 'The Skewer'

From the starts where ESQuire got 6 of them, to his knowledge of the AOR Maps gained from his OLD MAN, to his advantage of having lived and Studied in the RANDOM MAP San Francisco it was looking like the stars were aligned for ESQuire in the final but it was not to be. heatz takes the GLORY and the 10 League SUPER-DOOPER Promotion!

Note: Above info was from in game chat: Game 23082099

heatz can already see the benefit in the Super League Tables. Basically he will be PROMOTED the MAXIMUM NUMBER of EXTRA SPOTS available in any 1 Season until he has used up all 10 Promotion Spots, OR, Another Cup Winner tales his place. Currently 3rd Bottom in League 13, he should be looking at being RELEGATED to League 14. But as the NEW CUP WINNER, you will see his 'Next Season' Spot on the 'LIVE' League Tables is actually League 11 so it looks like he could be using up 3 of those PROMOTION spots at the end of the Season (unless someone drops out from much higher in the Super League).

A Special mention also has to go to 'Gin&Tonic makes him Super' SoN!c and 'The Tiger' Handsomewhitecat. They were the losing semi-finalists and fought it out for the KUDOS of having a 3rd Placed finish in the Cup recorded in their Trophy Cabinet until new RUNNERS UP take their place. And this Match Up was tighter than a Badgers Arse, it trully went to the wire! The last Game to finish decided it. Handomewhitecat was winning 4-1 at one stage but SoN!c had a slight advantage in the rest and he did not stumble. He went on to win all 4 of the last games to finish to take the 3rd Place, it finished:

SoN!c 5 v 4 handsomewhitecat

So Troops, that brings another CUP to an end. With the Baltic Crusaded Tourney still going another CUP won't start for a good while yet, but stay tuned & GOOD LUCK in the League!

BoBSC: R8 Review / R9 Preview

R8 REVIEW

Well Troops, from 256 Cup Entrants, we were down to ONLY 70 still standing at the start of Round 8! 2 Players safely traversed that Round with a Bye (big jumbo) and Odd-Man Bye (Sparrticus). I hope they enjoyed the FREE PASS because both will return to battle in Round 9!

34 Match Ups took place and 8/34 led to KNOCK-OUTS!

7/8 were Players in the BOTTOM HALF of the Draw being ELIMINATED by TOP HALF Players.

1/8 was Players in the TOP HALF of the Draw being ELIMINATED by BOTTOM HALF Players.

And that's the rub in the Survivor Part of this Tournament. If you don't get the results required to stay in the TOP HALF of the Leaderboard, you are in for a rough ride!

Ukey 'The Great War Champ, A 2 Yr CC Tourney that never Ended!' was the unlucky TOP HALF player to go! 10th Highest Ranked Player to enter the Cup, EX Super League Champion. He CRASHED & BURNED to 129th Seed 'ITeach' iteachjava. Ukey had amassed a HUGE 8 Tourney Points, prior to this Round Iteach had 6 (8 now). Ukey left reeling, Iteach marches on! Really unlucky, not only was Ukey the highest Ranked player to go this Round, he was also the player with the most points to fall.

Other fallers this Round were:

edretreats (5 Points - 204th Seed)
craigjohn34 (4 Points - 237th Seed)
fuatpanza (4 Points - 70th Seed)
krolt (3 Points - 223rd Seed)
itstheGeneral (2 Points - 51st Seed)
tmrtsmith (2 Points - 242nd Seed)
ABN - PFDR (1 Point - 131st Seed)

62 Players Progress to Round 9! Average Seed of a SURVIVOR is 91st! Average Rank of a SURVIVOR is 2096!
194 Players have been KO'd to Date. Average Seed of a FALLER is 147th! Average Rank of a FALLER is 1747!

R9 PREVIEW

62 BRAVE SOULS commence this Round. All still hunting CUP GLORY and all still hoping for that 10 League SUPER PROMOTION in the League that goes with it!

Our CURRENT LEADER is *Pixar* 'The Move Maker' - Yip, the same one that is breaking all sorts of records in the League! On 11 Points he wins the TIE-BREAKER with another 2 Players who are also on 11 Points. Congrats *Pixar*, you take the LEADER BYE and automatically progress to Round 10!

Without the use of a calculator, that leaves 61 Players to compete in this Round. As that is an ODD NUMBER the ODD-MAN BYE comes into use and the 2nd player on the Scoreboard, also on 11 Points is 93rd Seed zissou2. zissou2 seems to have come out of nowhere! He has just SCUDDED League 20 in the Super League and next minute he is popping up with a BYE into Round 10 of the Cup - worth the watching Troops!

When writing this, I was thinking, who is the unlucky sod who is also on 11 Points that is going to miss out on a Bye! Chuckling away as I got to this bit the smile was wiped off my face when I see who the joint Leader is who has to navigate another perilous Round! Craig25 'aka Lex Fu*king Luthor' is the loser in the 3 way Tie-Breaker who has to fight it out in Round 9!

So all this leaves 30 Match Ups taking place this Round.

- TOP HALF Players range from 7-11 Points.
- BOTTOM HALF Players range from 1-7 Points
- Average Rank of a TOP HALF Player is 2176
- Average Rank of a BOTTOM HALF Player is 2014
- Lowest Number of Points still Surviving is akabob2 'Not the Real Bob'. Who has only won 1 Match Up 2-1 in 9 Cup Rounds! He is on 1 Point. akabob2 was SEEDED 205th with a Tournament Starting Rank of 1480
- Lowest Rank still battling in The Cup is nickthesticks, Seeded Pre Tournament as 231/256 Players with a Rank of 1326. Not only is he SURVIVING he is in the TOP HALF of the Draw with 8 Points!

Random Map for this Round is.............................................................................

Eastern Hemisphere

Release Date: 9th March 2009
Rebellion, revolution, and war: the Eastern Hemisphere map depicts an era of empires across half the world.
The colonial powers of Western Europe are well represented, as are other fading and emerging empires throughout the Middle and Far East.
It is easy to read and relatively straightforward as well, and the large and diverse mix of bonus zones provides a foundation from wherever you may start.
Gameplay elements like colony bonuses and naval bombarding add to the early 20th century theme.
Total starting territories: 69

TOP MATCH UPS

And the Top Match Ups this Round...............

ESQuire(7Points) 0 V 0 greengo(7Points) Combined Starting Ranks 5310
The Highest Ranking Match Up. Will one of the Pre-Tournament Favourites fall in Round 9???

Caymanmew(9Points) 0 V 0 heatz(4Points) Combined Starting Ranks 5072
With a Pre-Tournament Rank of 3048 Caymanmew was Seeded 1st........A Potential Banana Skin here!

Loose Canon(10Points) 0 V 0 Mageplunka69(5Points) Combined Starting Ranks 5038
Loose Canon within touching distance of a BYE next Round. Nothing less than a 3-0 KO this Round will get him it!

Tin Trumpet(10Points) 0 V 0 SoN!c(7Points) Combined Starting Ranks 5000
Same goes for TT. A KO required to put him in a great position but has got a Tough Draw!

iteachjava(8Points) 0 V 0 akabob2(1Point) Combined Starting Ranks 3314
Lowest Ranking Match Up of the Round. Can the ULTIMATE SURVIVOR akabob2 last another Round?

Hi Scarlet

The Opt Out Option has passed. I personally took the time to compose at least 6 Mails to you letting you know to Opt Out if you did not want to play. So I am unsure why you ignored these only to Opt Out after the Tournament has started.?

I don't do people wasting my time, so will re-invite you. It is a major hassle to change a Tournament that took ages to set-up. I know you know that so hope you play. TY, C

To my knowledge I only got one PM which was yesterday to say you were sending out games which I read after I'd seen the invitations and assumed it was a mistake. I have never requested to be in the Super CUP. I wasn't in the first edition and I've checked through the the tounament thread to ensure I hadn't signed up by accident and there is no request from me to join. I love the Super LEAGUE but that is enough for me, I'm sorry to ruin your planning but it was your error that caused this.

Hi Scarlet

The fact that you choose not to read any of the mails on the League and Cup, does not mean they were not sent to you. If you choose to ignore them, there ain't much I can do. They are linked Tournaments, The Cup is now an integral part of it. Optional if you 'Opt Out' but an integral part of it none the less.

There was no error. On every Mail I sent to you on the Super Cup, and there was at least 6, I said specifically 'You have all been auto-entered into the Tournament, if you do not want to pay, just type Opt-Out on the Cup Forum'. In the last mail I sent to you on The Cup, I said 'Apart from a couple of Players who have opted out, all of you are in it'.

The mail you are referring to was Anila's Mail starting the Tournament.

So there was no mistake. I have re-invited you. I don't set up Tourneys for people to waste my time. You have choose to set your own rules on this and not follow the 'Opt Out' Process. I can't run Tourneys with players in them who want to set their own rules. So Play or don't, it's your call.

All the best,

Craig

And here we go again.

Missed the action. Tiddler Mogul off to a reasonable start, I think. 2 second turns but doing fairly well in both and its still possible to pull an elimination.

Looking a bit up, I see that Lux has decided to copycat me on Mogul. - Most impolite, I think and its hardly an excuse that you happen to play it better than me.

In other notes, someone decided to tiddle some napalm on the Molespe Stadium. Not sure who would do such a thing ;)

Im sure it would have happened to "Mouth" and "Luthor" s stadium as well, except for the popular expectations that they manage to get evicted in round 1 - again.
