Keep It Simple Quads [Winners: See 1st Post]
Posted: Fri Jan 15, 2010 1:36 pmCongratulations to Generation One (amazzony, Kinnison, barterer2002, and Gilligan)!
Personally, I have a preference for complex tournaments with role-playing elements that are fun to participate in whether you win them or not. However, playing in and putting together such events can be tiring (and a little annoying) so I thought I would "Keep It Simple" here. No bells and whistles, no complex point structure, just plain conquering!
Structure and Maps
This will be a simple, best of 3, single elimination quads tournament. Maps will be coded and chose at random based on number selections from http://www.random.org. Don't worry, I will remove really small, really big, or complex maps from the selection pool. All teams will play the same maps (i.e. round 1 game 1 will be map x, round 1 game 2 will be map y, and so on)
The first two games of each round will be sent out at the same time. If neither teams wins both, a third game will be sent to decide the winner. New rounds will not begin until all games in the previous round have finished. Freemiums are welcome so long as you keep TWO slots open.
I will send each player two invites to each game, giving them at least 48 hours to join. At this point I will message the team and they have 24 more hours to come up with a replacement or find the missing player. If they cannot do either, the team will be eliminated. If you have any problems with making it to games on time, please PM me in advance.
Teams will be seeded at signup based on total points. Lowest seed will play highest, etc., etc..
