Elric's SoS, Terminator Invitational (Complete)

[seana]

im in please

I always thought 216 was ambitious, 150 seems more do-able.

However, instead of switching to 5-player games (many people prefer 6-player Classic over 5-player Classic) why not change the format slightly, so not all losers are eliminated?

For instance:
First round, with 150 players and 6-player games, 30 winners advance automatically to Round 2.
From the losers, 6 names are randomly drawn to also advance, so you have 36 players entering round 2 and you again have 6 X 6-player games.

The Conquer Cup went through a very similar downsizing, and there were a LOT of complaints. Many people have built strategies for 6-player on this map and HATE having the two neutrals in there.

(Not that you don't have to worry about me. I'm in no matter how you do it. I was just giving advice.)

Thanks for the thoughts Duk ... but I want to keep it as a win it to stay in it ... lose once and go home. I will have to see how it plays out so I can see how it might effect how I will make a go of future events.

[ElricTheGreat]

im out

Noted ... thanks for letting me know so as not to have me recreate games later.

Hope you come aboard in future events

[ElricTheGreat]

So far so good ... with the changes (+1 and -1) we still sit at 153 registered and all should go well.

Thanks for sticking with it everyone .. hope the battles make it worth the wait!

[ElricTheGreat]

Okay everyone ... we are going to try get this under way ...

I have created the 2nd post to track the goings on for the STANDARD Tournament http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=159785 and this post will now be updated as we have news regarding the Terminator side of the Dual Tournaments.

Remember these are completely separate and not linked in any way except how the original groupings will be made ... the individual games will have the players selected randomly!

Good luck and may the dice gods be smiling down on us all!!

[Scario67]

this is my first tournament, do we need to seek out the games? or will we receive some kind of notice or invitation to our respective games?

[ElricTheGreat]

I have received the Tournament Privileges and will be trying to get the grouping and games setup Sunday ... watch for the invites!!!

[ElricTheGreat]

The pools and the list of who you will be playing is updated ... invites to follow soon!

[ElricTheGreat]

All games are UP !!! Please accept your invites so the games can start !!!!

If you use the FOED section of the Friends / Foed ... please take a look at your group for the tournaments and be sure to remove anyone that is on your list ... I have one game that I cannot start because od a situation where there is a conflict .... please take it elsewhere for the duration of the tournament or please retire so that I can start the game using a reserve player. --- please disregard .. the player in question has a ban on him and that was why I could not add him to the game.

ALL INVITES ARE OUT !

Thanks and enjoy the battles everyone !!!!

[ElricTheGreat]

I have received news that there are 2 players who will not be accepting their invites and only 1 reserve left ... I will hold off until this evening to reset the games ... but if there is another last minute person who wants in now is the time to step forward !!!

[ElricTheGreat]

Invites have been resent to those who missed them for round 1 games to start ...

Please accept them so the round can proceed.

Happy Holidays!

[ElricTheGreat]

Well ... anyone who had missed the 2 rounds of invites are now gone ... hope those who have been holding on enjoy their 1st round battles

Good luck everyone !!!

See you in the finals !!!

BTW for the record I am not too impressed with all of the players who signed up, let the games get started and then have to chase them to get started ... it would have been very easy for you guys to just post requesting to be removed. There is enough work to do to get a tourney this size up and running without the extra activities you are putting the organizer through. Please consider that when signing up for any other events .. the events go much better with the help and support of the entire group.

[ElricTheGreat]

Stats updated (23h07 est -28/12)... congrats to those advancing!
