UPDATE 4/10/08I am pauseing this league while we straighten everything out. Week5 for now will be suspended until I find a suitable replacement for barterer2002, after that, once we have all else organized and set, we will start back up, sorry for the inconvenience.
UPDATE 3/30/08-The Game schedual for the next 3 weeks has been posted on the front page
-We have decided to take the week off for games, to give the players alittle added time to finish up the games
-The names of current players has been updated on the front page
UPDATE 3/14/08We have had a few major and minor hiccups these past 2 weeks, and it has become apparent that this job is quite a bit bigger then first anticipated, so, this tournament will now be run on a join system! Between Barterer2002, brandoncfi, and Myself, we have split up the weekly duities of this league to hopefully make your experience much smoother
Below are our responcibilities

The reason this was abandoned the first time is that it is hard to get a number divisable by 8,7,6,5,4,3,2 players, so what i came up with is quite simply a filler system... what that means is that i will set up the games and whenever we have the wrong number of players i will have a list of 7-8 players who are signed up to join games just to play as these fillers... they will not be playing for any sort of points or reward, they will just be playing to play. That being said these people can stop being fillers whenever they want, they have no true obligation to the tournament since they are not being scored. For now those asking to be reserves will be asked to become fillers, and if you are needed to replace a deadbeat, you may make a spot and assume there score. before we begin it will be Manditory that i have 8 fillers at least then i will make the games and get started

This Tournament was originally started by barterer2002, so all credit for the ideas go to him, i am just doing slight revamps and taking over the PMing/game creation process.

There are many players who are skilled at one aspect of CC. Escalating cards, freestyle, one on one games etc but there aren't as many who are skilled at everything.
By my calculations each map has 936 possible combinations of play.
1 vs 1
3 player singles
4 player singles
5 player singles
6 player singles
7 player singles
8 player singles
4 player doubles
6 player doubles
8 player doubles
6 player triples
8 player quads
Each of these can be played freestyle or standard, with no cards, flat rate cards or escalating cards, the singles can be played assassin or terminator in addition to standard, there can be fog or no fog and the forts can be adjacent, unlimited or chained. In total with all the combinations there are 936 possible combinations.
Here is the plan.
936 is too many for me to deal with but I think 432 is managable. To achieve this number we simply eliminate Assassin and Terminator games. It essentially will mean that each player will have 8 new games starting every week for a year. For that reason you must be a premium member to join.

Players will be sorted by rank on a monthly basis.
Doubles partners within the month will be assigned so that the best player is matched with the worst, the second best with the second worst. Singles match ups will be based on rank so that the top 8 players will play in the 8 player games that month, the second 8 will be in the next set and so forth.
This will be a large tourney and will require some committment of time so I'm going to leave the sign ups open for a bit as well.
I will also make the games so there is some variety so we're not going to have all the 1 v 1 games the first month etc. The second post will contain the schedule of games (which I'll work up shortly). The third post will be for standings and the 4th reserved as needed[*]
