Tournament of 10's: Volume 1 [Winner: peacemakers]

[Butters1919]

Congrats to [player]peacemakers[/player] for winning the tourney! The final round was close and came down to the final game...


Love playing large escalating games?
Love playing different maps, or trying new ones?
Love playing lots of games at the same time?
Want there to be something of value for a 2nd or 3rd place finish (or even last)?
Well, here is a tourney for you.

Players will be randomized into 4 groups of 8. You will play all 10 maps as chosen (details below). You will receive points based on your finishing position (see below) for each map. After all 10 games are completed, the top 4 from each group will advance to round 2 (re-randomized). You will play the same 10 maps again using the same points system. The top 4 from each group will again advance to a final round, playing the same maps a 3rd time through.

32 players
8 player games
3 rounds: 32, 16, 8
Auto troop deployment
Sequential play
Escalating spoil values
Chained reinforcements
Sunny
Round limit: 30 rounds - Removed as it may cause confusion in finishing position
Casual

Maps: When you sign up, feel free to nominate up to 10 maps you would wish to play. The top 10 maps with the most nominations will be the ones used. Should there be a tie for 10th, I'll randomize the tied maps (random.org) and take the required amount from the top of the list. Since I'm playing, I will list the 10 maps I prefer. Should less than 10 maps be nominated, we'll use the remaining on my list! As a note, should this be popular, I will host Volume 2 in the future and the 10 maps chosen here will not be available. NO BETA MAPS!!!
