Following on the format of the highly successful 32nd version of Initech, the 35th version is a single-table doubles tournament. In the Initech spirit, all games will be flat/chained/foggy. This tournament focuses on fifteen maps in North America. I present Initech XXXV: North America x2!
OVERVIEW 130-game, 1-round, 15-map tournament. Each team will play 15 games--one on each map. Games will vary between 2-team, 3-team and 4-team matches.
ELIGIBLE PLAYERS Premium only, sorry. You'll need more than 4 games open at all times.
RULES & MAPS All games will be Doubles, Automatic, Sequential, Chained, Flat Rate, Foggy. 1/3 of games will be 2-team matches, played on the following 5 maps: Central America, Golfe du St. Laurent, Greenland, Haiti, Mexico 1/3 of games will be 3-team matches, played on the following 5 maps: California, Canada, Caribbean Islands, Charleston, Great Lakes 1/3 of games will be 4-team matches, played on the following 5 maps: Fractured America, North America, NYC, Quad Cities, Vancouver
SCORING 2-team match wins are worth 5 points. 3-team match wins are worth 10 points. 4-team match wins are worth 15 points.
There are 1,150 total points available in the tournament. An individual team has a maximum of 150 points available to win.
FORMAT This is a single-round, single-table tournament, with each team playing 1 game on each map. The draw will be completely random for each of the 15 maps, so the schedule will be unbalanced and individual teams may face particular teams more often than other teams.
TIEBREAKERS In the event of a tie for first place on points, the first tiebreaker will be the most points taken from common games (games where the tied players were opponents). The second tiebreaker will be the most wins in common 2-team games. The third tiebreaker will be the most overall wins on the 4-team maps. The fourth tiebreaker will be a head-to-head match on the North America map.
