Especially if its that.
A UNIT FROM SOMBRE!
$50 in CASH MONEY FROM FROSTED
(Potentially) $10 in CASH MONEY FROM HeatEXTEND


ENTRY FEE: None. Just bring your A game!
------------------------------------

RULES

Please don't be a dick stabber.
In order to not have a draconian rule set that handles every corner case, this tourney will depend on people not being dickheads. Please try to be considerate in scheduling and please take turns at a reasonable pace. Standard MP Rules apply: trades are binding! ;D

RESTARTS: There will be no restarts, no mulligans and no do-overs. Take MISF at your own risk.

THE ERA: EARLY AGE

GAME SETTINGS: Easy Research

SPECIAL RULES: No Mercenaries

MODS: CBM 1.93 (http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/...?showtopic=972)


NATION SELECTION: Every player selects a primary and secondary nation. They must play their primary nation in every game, if both players have the same primary nation they both fall back to their secondary picks.

MAP SELECTION: Both players may select a map between themselves, if no agreement is reached Twolands is used. A list of suggested maps will be posted shortly.

SCHEDULE:
->ROUND ONE: MONDAY SEPTEMBER 10TH - 17TH<-
Each subsequent round will be one week long. Extensions will be allowed although please try to keep these to a minimum.

FORMAT:
PLAYER POOL Rounds:
If the number of finalized entries is over 16, then there will be two initial POOL rounds. Player's who complete these rounds 2-0 or 1-1 will continue onto the SINGLE ELIMINATION rounds.

SINGLE ELIMINATION
- Round of 16
- Round of 8
- Semi-Finals
- FROSTED CUP CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!

------------------------------------------------


HOW GAMES WILL WORK:

BlanketThief has offered to run a dedicated server and BrainWrinkle on SA has made us a special edition of the GGS notification system that helps keep track of games. This will allow Direct Connect games, which will feel very natural in a blitz format - but can also be put on hold and resumed as time requires. This server will be up 24/7 and turns can be submitted when time permits.

This will act as an intermediate between PBEM and Blitz, allowing rapid turns while both players are able to play during the same session, while also allowing turns to be submitted "off hours" if one finds time. It should be noted that long term SA Goon games are played using this kind of set up and work quite well. The notification page has been set up and features awesome music:

http://www.brainwrinkle.net/tournament/

Currently there is nothing here, but we'll be setting up all the matches on this, as well as notifying all players. This will show the IP address as well as port for each player.

BlanketThief is the co-admin as well as the impartial arbiter for any and all disputes.

Please begin solidifying your dastardly plots and nefarious schemes. And selecting your nations.

Match writeups would be awesome!

A final entry list will be posted along with all players national picks once round one begins.

B,
Very interesting challenge and I like your moxie. Alas, it's unlikely I could find enough hours for a blitz campaign. How many hours typically for one of those? PBEM I can do after everyones in bed and it doesn't subtract from my spousal capital.

2-4 hours is pretty common for a blitz; No reason they couldn't span over multiple days if needed.

A shot whenever someone complains about an unlucky event. Get hospitalized by round ten!
