[spoiler=overview of the 3 phases]As the winter tourney is still on going, I assigned randomly places 1 and 2 and places 3 and 4, this won't change anything I guess.
[/spoiler][spoiler=Phase 1 8 groups of 4 teams]:
The 32 teams will be split randomly in 8 groups of 4 teams. The 4 semi-finalist of the winter 2011 tourney will be placed in different groups as indicated on the figure. In each group, each team will play against the remaining 3 teams on 5 maps (identical to winter tourney 2011). Play order is sequential, reinforcement chained and we have sun or fog and escalating or no card games.
- Classic escalating, sun
- Poison Rome, no card, fog
- Drugs war, no card, fog
- Berlin 1961, no card, sun
- Arms race !, escalating, fog
After the 5 games “battle”, the winner (3, 4 or 5 games won out of the 5 played) will be credited with 2 points and the loser with 0 point. Each team will play 15 games in the first phase. Invitation for the 5 games battles will be sent every two weeks. Assuming the tourney starts on 10.06.2012, the first phase could be over by the end of July.
After the first phase, teams will have either 6, 4, 2 or 0 points. The two first teams advance to the second phase. In case two teams have the same number of points, the number of games won will first be used to determine who advances. For example, if three teams have 4 points, one has 12 games won, another one 11 and a third one 10, the teams with 12 and 11 games won will advance. If this is not sufficient, the number of games won on the first map (this number will be 2,1 or 0 for each team) will be used, if not sufficient, the number of games won on the second map will be used as tie break, then the number of games used on the third map, then on the fourth and if insufficient, a quick tie break will be made on classic.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Phase 2 4 groups of 4 teams]:
Principle is identical to phase 1. We just have 4 groups of 4 and not 8 groups of 4.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Phase 3 championship 8 teams]:
Phase 3 will take a different format as the 8 remaining teams will play against each other (5 maps battle as in phase 1). Phase 3 will be organized in 7 “days”. For each “day” 4 maps and settings will be chosen by the 4 “winners” of the 4 groups of phase 2 in a pool of 20 maps/settings. The fifth map will be different for each day:
- Day 1 : Classic escalating, sun
- Day 2 : Poison Rome, no card, fog
- Day 3 : Drugs war, no card, fog
- Day 4 : Berlin 1961, no card, sun
- Day 5 : Arms race !, escalating, fog
- Day 6 : Battle for Irak, escalating, fog
- Day 7 : France, no card, sun
[spoiler=tie breaker rule for phase 3]As in phases 2 and 1 raking will first be established on the basis of points (when you win a 5 games battle you get 2 points whatever the score is (5-0,4-1 or 3-2). If two or more teams have the same number of points, we will look at the number of games won. If tow or several teams have the same number of points and games won we will look at the following criteria:
If only two teams have the same number of points and game won, the winner will be the winner of the battle between these two teams in phase 3. If we have more than two teams, (for example 3 teams) we will re-establish a table of standing taking only the games between these teams into account and following the same rules than before (points and then games won to establish the table of standing). If, as a result, we still have exactly the same number of teams with the same number of points and games won then I'd find a fair way to deal with this (such as new championship between these teams). If as a result we have less teams with the same number of points (for example 2) then we will draw up a new table of standing taking only the games between these teams into account (for example if we have 2 teams this means that the winner of the game between these two teams will be the winner)[/spoiler]
The pool of 20 maps/setting is as follows:
1. WWII Eastern Front, escalating, foggy
2. Conquer Rome, no spoil, foggy
3. Australia, no spoil, sunny
4. Benelux, escalating, sunny
5. Holy Roman Empire, no spoil, sunny
6. Benelux, esc, sunny
7. Space, esc, fog
8. Halloween Hollows, no spoil, sun
9. Dust Bowl, no spoil, sun
10. Malta, escalating, sun
11. Italy, no spoil, sun
12. Canada, no spoil, sun
13. Alexandre empire, no spoil, sun
14. Ancient Greece, esc., sun
15. Cairns metro, esc., sun
16. Imperium Romanum, no spoil, sun
17. Madagascar, no spoil, fog
18. 8 thoughts, escalating, fog
19. Draknor level 1, escalating, fog
20. Egypt Nubia, no card, sun[/spoiler]
[spoiler=in case we do not get 32 entries]In case we get only 24 teams, the principle will remain the same : we will start with 6 groups of 4, and then we will have 3 groups of 4 and the best two third teams will go to the third phase.
In case we get 28 teams, we will have 7 groups of 4 teams in phase 1 and we will let the 2 best third teams go the second phase, to make 16 teams in phase two.
If we get between 25, 26, 27, 29, 30 or 31 last ones to register should lobby to get some more on board or they will be on the reserve list…[/spoiler]
