Turtle Tournament - (Whydellilah wins!!)

Post by thehippo8 »

Time to get off my chuff and run a tournament ...

Those in the know realise that this site is run by a Turtle. For those not in the know, this may come as something of a shock to you! The Turtle doesn't, in my opinion, get the recognition he deserves and so in this tournament I honour the Turtle!!

Okay, so this will be a 1 v 1 knockout tournament - so 16 players. No doubt it will fill pretty quickly so hop on in.

Turtle's paradise?

[spoiler=Round 1 settings]Well, everyone knows that the tastiest nicest Tortoises Turtles come from the Galapagos Islands. Several expeditions went to collect these tasty treats most interesting creatures but each time the Turtles were all eaten set free before the ships made it home.

So what else, we are playing on: Treasures Of Galapagos, you will play 3 games against your opponent (selected by me at random) and the best of 3 goes on to the next round.

1 v 1
Manual
Seq
No spoils
Chained
Fog
Trench
30 rounds[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Round 1 randomisation using Random.org]List Randomizer

There were 16 items in your list. Here they are in random order (EDIT: to which I have made X vs Y):

1.9.adam666 vs 2.12.Frox333
3.7.israel. vs 4.4.whydelilah
5.5.babagonosh vs 6.2.koontz1973
7.16.Chewie1 vs 8.1.thehippo8
9.10.generalhead vs 10.11.cryinlion
11.13.igotaished vs 12.6.Pappje
13.14.Fakyras vs 14.3.Dukasaur
15.15.azak848 vs 16.8.loenatiek

Timestamp: 2012-10-16 03:51:41 UTC[/spoiler]

Why did the Turtle cross the road?

[spoiler=Round 2 settings]Everyone knows the yearning that spotty, be-speckled, nerds have for keeping Turtles as pets. Reputed to be able to last for 40 years or more, these pets escape their owners by the nearest road available.

So, our next map has to be: Route 66, best of three games.

1 v 1
Manual
Seq
No spoils
Chained
Fog
No Trench
30 rounds[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Round 1 randomisation using Random.org]List Randomizer

There were 8items in your list. Here they are in random order (EDIT: to which I have made X vs Y):

1.2. whydelilah vs 2.8. azak848
3.3. babagonosh vs 4.4. thehippo8
5.7. Dukasaur vs 6.5. cryinlion
7.6. igotaished vs 8.1. adam666

Timestamp: Oops - forgot to grab that ... lol[/spoiler]


War Turtle?

[spoiler=Round 3 settings]Donning his trusty steel helmut, this is the only map where the Turtle makes such a conspicuous appearance. And very handsome he looks too!

So, the map for the semi-finals is: Duck and Cover, yes best of 3 again.

1 v 1
Auto
Seq
Escalating
Adjascent
Sunny
No Trench

Legendary Turtle?

[spoiler=Round 4 settings - Finals]It is a well-known fact that Atlantis was (like this website) run by a Turtle. The reason why Atlantis sank was a deliberate decision by the head Turtle to keep his kingdom safe from the ravaging Pteraosaurs. Sure a few people were inconvenienced - but that was a small price to pay. And indeed, you quessed it, our Turtle is a direct descendant.

So, yes, our final map in this tourney is: Atlantis, as always best of 3 decides the winner.

1 v 1
Auto
Seq
Flat rate
Chained
Fog
No Trench
30 rounds[/spoiler]

The winner of this Tourney not only gets to be top Turtle, but you never know - the real Turtle may show up and honour you himself! We can wish anyway ... :-$

There are no requirements for this tournament, you can be premium or freemium but if you are Freemium then you must keep 3 slots open for this tourney as I will send the 3 games at once (otherwise the tourney drags on and that isn't fair on the others). I will send out two replacement attempts and if you do not pick up the last (three strikes rule) then you will be deemed to have lost and your opponent will advance. Please post in this thread if you want in. If you PM me, you will still need to post here to be accepted as an active player.

And we are full!!

I'll seek privileges now ... if there remains any interest then I'll happily sign up a reserve or two - in any tourney that's a useful thing!

Just a quick update, we are waiting for one pair to finish three games and another pair to finish two games. Pretty sure what the results should be but better wait for them to finish just to be on the safe side! Given I use random to mix everyone up each round we will wait. At this rate we should have the next games up in 3 to 4 days.
