TheFloor by David Ball, on FlickrThe size of the floor will depend on how much demand we get for the tournament.
The show goes with 100 squares.
But we will be going with 28 squares.
Rules:
The randomizer (random.org) will be used to determine which player goes to the Showdown stage first.
The Chosen player gets to pick any challenger, who borders their square.
They will play a 1 vs. 1 showdown on the challenger's map choice.
The winner stays alive and absorbs the loser's square.
The loser is eliminated.
The winning player is given the choice of challenging another player ... anyone who borders their expanded territory.
OR
The winning player can choose to return to the floor, and the randomizer selects a new Chosen player.
If the Challenger wins the showdown, they inherit the Chosen player's map.
* So if the Chosen Player has Classic, and the Challenger has Arms Race! -- The showdown would be played on Arms Race!.
If the Challenger wins, the Chosen player is eliminated. The Challenger takes over whatever spaces the Chosen player owned, and inherits the Chosen player's map (in this case Classic).
*The randomizer -- When a winning player chooses to return to The Floor, I will use random.org to pick the next Chosen player (only those who have not played a map are eligible for the Randomizer ... once everyone has played a map, the randomizer will reset to include all remaining players).
Settings boost
If a player wins three showdowns in a row, they will earn the Settings Boost, which allows them to choose settings for any 1 future showdown ... (cards, forts, fog?, trench?) ... the 30-round limit is constant.
Winner
The winner is the last player standing at the end of the process -- the player who takes the whole floor.
The Final Showdown is a Best of 3 format. The Chosen player gets choice of which of the two remaining maps will be played first. If a third match is necessary that will be on Random.
*No settings booster for the Finals.
Sample Floors
The Floor on the left is what the board looks like at the beginning of the game.
The Floor on the right shows the game with 10 players remaining.
The yellow section marks the Chosen player.
In this case, that Chosen player could pick to play on either Africa2 or Rail USA (or return to the Floor)
