This is a Tournament Players Association (TPA) event, and is governed by its rules, guidelines, and judgments. All are welcome to join and participate in the association. You need do nothing more than join one or more of the TPA events that will be announced each Monday. Check back on the TPA scoreboard in the Tournaments--> General Info forum to see how you're doing.
I will be rescuing this tourney. In the original rules, no mention of being in the top ten of your division is mentioned. What is mentions is finishing in the top 50 will allow you to advance to round three.
Original thread: viewtopic.php?t=123946
So: The top 50 players with most wins will advance after 50 maps have been played. Divisions will be done away with as well because 20 player divisions only work for 19 map round robin. There is an uneven balance with this format. To make things a little more fair I have decided to use random.org for each map. This way for each map you will have one random decided opponent. It will also make it a lot easier to send out games.
Looks like there has been a few dead beats so far. Dead beats will not be in the tourney for too long and they will lose out on a chance to have a win. Check the rules below. That being said, anyone that has played over 17 games will continue in this tourney as most likely their opponent did not show. I will send replacement games to get them up to the 20 possible played maps so far on the maps that they did not play. Any player with less than 17 played games will end up in the finished results.
Now to the rules:
I will send one game out at a time. The pm will be sent to everyone. The format will look like this:
To make it even simpler I am just sending out your name with an auto join to the right of it.
For example:
General Flashman View Game 7436142 (Auto-Join Game)
dreams4insomniac View Game 7436140 (Auto-Join Game)
Blinkadyblink View Game 7436141 (Auto-Join Game)
All you will have to do is find your name. You will click on the auto join link which is to the right of your name and join your game.
You will have 48 hours to join.
If you join the wrong game or you do not join within 48 hours you will get a strike against you. Three strikes and you are out and placed in the finished results.
All games not joined will be matched up starting from the top of the list and working towards the bottom of the list.
Because uneven games will result I am going to find a player willing to play all games that need to be created to even maps or games up or when we have an odd amount of players left in the tourney.
This player will have a chance at a GA medal. They must fill in for at least 10 games and be the fill in player for the rest of the tourney. If he/she leaves then the next reserve takes over and has a chance. "The Reserve" will get a General Achievement Medal for their time if:
"Reserve player with a winning percentage above 50%"
Please do not post individual wins in the thread--just questions will be nice. I will do all the verification and scoring and individual pms just clog up the thread.
Maps:
The map order how I will send games out:
Settings:
# Number of Players: 2
# Game Type: Standard
# Initial Troops: Automatic
# Play Order: Sequential
# Spoils: No Spoils
# Reinforcements: Adjacent
# Fog of War: No
How to win this tourney:
Winner will be the player that wins the most games. If there is a tie at the end I will have the players remaining play 10 random games using the random map function. This will be done until there is a clear winner.
Cut offs: At the conclusion of play of 50 maps, the top 50 with the most wins will advance and the remaining players will be place in finish order. To be fair anyone tied at 50 will advance to the final 50.
Conclusion:
I believe I have covered everything concerning this tournament. I will be sending this to all players in a pm so they have time to read it and respond. If there are changes and updates I will add them to the second post.
The third post will be for player rankings and the fourth post will track strikes against players.
Any questions can be posted in this thread or pm'd to me.
