Shakespeare! This is a tournament to celebrate the 450th birthday of the Bard of Avon - just like the great playwright, it uses a range of different settings and game types to determine the champion (note: you *can* hate Shakespeare’s plays and still take part in this tourney).
Number of Players: 30 (premium)
Settings: all games auto, sequential, escalating, sunny, chained (except Round 3 where we mix things up a bit)

All Shakespeare’s tragedies end in a bloodbath and a lot of dead bodies, much like a CC game – you will take part in the following 6 plays, players randomly assigned:6 Player standard Macbeth (Scotland) - Complete Hamlet (Kingdom of Denmark) - Complete 5 Player standard Julius Caesar (Poison Rome) - Complete King Lear (King’s Court) - Complete 6 Player Doubles Anthony & Cleopatra (Egypt: Nubia) - Complete Romeo & Juliet (Italy) - Complete star-cross’d lovers , 3 points each for the successful couple who wins.

This round is set in the medieval universe of Shakespeare’s history plays, which feature the battles of England’s great kings. The 24 players will be divided into 3 groups of 8 (with the top 9 scorers from round 1 seeded). Then there will be a round robin as everyone plays each other from their group once, in a polymorphic match on one of CC’s medieval maps.Richard II - Complete Henry IV Part I - Complete Henry IV Part II - Complete King John - Complete Richard III - Complete Henry V - Complete Henry VIII - Complete Group Falstaff - Complete william tennant...3 (Eliminated) Group Bardolph - Complete epicgb..............3 (Eliminated) Group Pistol - Complete tismypueblo.....3 (Eliminated)
Round 3: Comedy (15 players) - COMPLETE
