"It's a Knockout" Tournament[FULL]
Posted: Tue May 29, 2007 9:33 pmWINNERS OF GAMES, PLEASE POST A LINK AND SAY THAT THE GAME IS OVER ON THIS THREAD, THANKYOU
Hi there, the theme of this tournament is the gameshow "It's A knockout".
Background of the Show
It's a Knockout was adapted from the French show Intervilles, that ran from 1966 to 1982 and then again from 1999 to 2001, featuring teams, each representing a town or city, competing to complete bizarre tasks in absurd games, generally while dressed in outlandish costumes (often large latex suits). Games were played in the home town's park, with English weather often adding to the entertainment by turning the grassland into a mud bath. Teams would be awarded points for their performance in each round, with the team scoring most points winning the game and advancing to the next stage. Teams could double their points in one round by choosing to "play their Joker".

Requirements
The only requirement for this tournament is that you can play four games simultaneously so non-premiums can play as long as their games are all free.
Setup
The tournament will be played in three rounds.
Round One will consist of 6 groups, each of 6 players. Each group will have a total of 5 games, 4 of which will be played by each player within the group.
The games for each player will be:
- One Assassin game(6 players) - game one of the heat
- One Terminator game(6 players) - game two of the heat
- One Standard game(6 players) - game three of the heat
- One Standard game(3 players) - mini-marathon game(2 per group)
A win will be 3 points, second place will yield 2, and third 1. Standard game points distribution are self-explanatory. Terminator points will be given based on total number of people eliminated with any ties resulting in both players receiving the highest number of points possible. Assassin games will ONLY give points for first place as it is not possible to gage second or third.
In each set of games, the players may use their Joker. This Joker will give them double points should they score any during the game - the usage of the Joker must be announced in the game chat before they begin their first turn. The Joker cannot be played in the mini-marathon games.
The players finishing first, second, and third in each group will advance to round two. If their are any ties in scores then a deciding game will be played of myself and the players tied for points, the game will be terminator and which ever of the tied players is eliminated first will also be eliminated from the tournament.
Round two will consist of exactly the same format, however only the first two players will advance to the final - NOTE: points are accumulative so if you barely scraped into a round then you really need to work hard.
The final will also be the same format with once again points being carried over from the previous two rounds. From this round will be crowned a third place, second place, and champion player of the tournament!
NOTE: due to a game setup error, all of the first round games will be standard games - the setup advertised in post one will begin in ROUND TWO[/u]
