"Vive L'Empereur!" [Winner=djelebert]

Discerning aficionados of my tournaments will remember last year's "Gratuitous Transfer of Wealth". Well, here we go again. Thanks to CC's generous premium prize matching policy, the prize that BigBallinStalin provided for us in that tournament is matched by an equal prize from the Tournament Department's vault. And now, my friends, the time has come to dispense it!

As before, freemiums are welcome in this tournament. Also as before, there will be a lockout period of one week -- during the first week that this tournament is posted, only freemiums may join. Premium members posting during the first week will be ignored. After that, anyone can sign up. And yet further as before, BigBallinStalin constitutes an exception and may join during the blackout week.

In this tournament we will be celebrating the career of Napoleon Bonaparte, who gained fame for the extraordinary achievement of being the only person in history more arrogant than BigBallinStalin. Conquer Club has four great maps from the Napoleonic Wars, and we will of course use all of them. (We will repeat maps as necessary, because the Foundry has not yet had the foresight to give me some nice maps of Borodino, Marengo, Jena, or Leipzig. Get the lead out, ya lazy bastards!)

It will again be a 32-player 1v1, but this time it will be a double-elimination tournament, which means you can survive one loss and still have hope. Bracket will be hosted on Challonge.com. Both the winners bracket and the losers bracket will follow the progression of maps and settings shown in the spoilers below. They will repeat as necessary (round 5 in both the winners' and losers' brackets will have the same map and settings as bracket 1, losers bracket 6 will have the same map and settings as bracket 2, etc.) The final showdown between the winners of the two brackets will be best-of-three on maps 2, 3, and 4.

All games will be Automatic deployment, Sequential play, 24-hour rounds, with a 30-round limit. Other settings will vary, as described in the phase spoilers below:

show: spectacular triumph -- bracket rounds 1 and 5

show: counterpoint -- bracket rounds 2 and 6

show: the big picture -- bracket rounds 3 and 7

show: the curtain falls -- bracket rounds 4 and 8


show: My list of tournaments thus far

Thank you!

The full wording of the qualification for the GA medal is:
The name of the medal will be "The Wellington Award" and it will be for "The player who scores the fastest (in rounds) victory during their first opportunity on the Waterloo map. (IOW, if we have already looped around to the next four phases and it's Waterloo again, you cannot have a second crack at winning this) (Tiebreaker: if multiple players win a Waterloo game in the same number of rounds, the medal will go to the one who finished with the greatest number of surviving troops.)"

The 1-week blackout period for premium members ended last Saturday night, and everyone who signed up since then (from TX AG 90 onward) is in.

Some premiums who signed up without reading the rules will have to re-post.

We are at 12/32.
