Hi friends, so I have thought about this tournament for a long time, but was not sure about how I could make it not suck I really do think I have the answer now, so this will me my 3. terminator style tournament, but instead of feudal epic (viewtopic.php?t=242045) or conquest type maps (viewtopic.php?t=242150), this time it will be sunny and not foggy, and it will be "classic/normal maps" that will be used. So since it sunny I have put a point minimum at 2k+ to join it, this is so those highrated guys that join don't get targeted AF, I at least hope that will be enough, but I guess we will find out.
The scoring will be the same ish as in my other terminator tournies: In round 1 you will get 1 point for a kill, and 3 points for the win, and if you do a clean sweep (kill all 7 players on the same turn) you will get a bonus of 3 points. The points do carry over, but in round 2 the points double (2p for a kill, 6 win, 6 sweep), and in round 3 it will double again and, and so on. (I did this because I wanted every game played to have an impact on the winner of the tourney, but even if you have not done good the rounds before, you could have a shot to turn it around and win, because of more points to play for). 4 players from each group goes through to the next round.
I am also only looking for 32 players, since I think 64 will be very hard to reach, but I'm open to make it bigger if the interest is there, I'm also willing to go all the way down to 16 players if there is low interest.
I have choosen 10 maps I like that I think will be good for 8p esc games, this is the maps: Africa Canada Classic Balkan Peninsula Charlston Iberia Quad Cities Eurasia First Nations Americas World 2.1
You have to be premium, since I will send 10 games at once for each group each round. And you have to be over 2k+ when signing up. Put down your score when signing up, I will use those scores to seed the players, when I make the games for round.1. The players will be split into groups of 8. In the following rounds, the groups will be made based on the performance of the earlier rounds. The highest scoring player gets seed 1 etc.. Each group will play 10 games, and the games will come in just 1 batch (so premium players only).
If 2 or more players are tied, the tiebreakers are as follows : 1.Most kills 2.Most wins 3.Lowest seed advances. This is so we don't slow down the tournament anymore. But if it is a tie for 1. in the final, then the winner of the tournament will be decided by a tiebreaker match.
Tiebreaking rules for seeds : 1.Place in group 2.Most kills 3.Previous Seed
Settings : Game Type - 8 Player Terminator Play Order - Sequential Troop Deployment - Automatic Spoils - Escalating Reinforcements - Chained Special Gameplay - No Round limit - 20 rounds
