This is a Standard Event
There can only be three
Ever wanted to get a really good triples tournament, but with that kick of je-ne-sais-quoi? That little edge of excitement, where not everything depends on the dice, but simply knowledge and ability? Chief Trio will test your CC playing as a trio, logic and strategy, guts and will, and also general ability. What's that sound? Who sang that? While also scoring points for your Conquer Club Games: these points that will give you a big advantage should you make it to the finals.
Freemiums are allowed to enter. 1 or 2 slots should be open at all times. Players must be active to partake in non-game activities.
48 players in 16 triples teams.

[spoiler=How the Tournament Works]Each round will have a theme. (example, Oh Say Can You See) Each round has 3 main challenges:
THE CHALLENGE PHASE
1 – The Conquer Challenge
All rounds will have a CC Game, the Conquer Challenge, where points will be distributed based on kills, rounds, final score (who won, who lost).
WINNER:
number of base points (50 unless map takes longer to play (like hive) - number of rounds to win + (usually 15) victory points + 5 points per kill
LOSER:
5 points per kill
If we use the example of Oh Say Can You See, this round would have a USA map.
2 – The Dare or Second Challenge
All rounds will then have either a Dare, where teams will dare another team on a designated CC map for points or something else belonging to the game (teams must pm me telling me they want to dare so-and-so)
OR
Another CC Game with points or something else belonging to the game awarded.
If we use the example of Oh Say Can You See, this round would have a US Senate map, or one of the smaller USA maps, or USApocalypse.
3 – The Special Challenge
A special challenge can be issued at anytime during a round. Some Special Challenges will not belong to CC games. Some will be more CC Games. The prize could be points or something else, like game cards.
Example: USA President's Quiz, done in thread. First to answer gets 10 points.
THE ELIMINATION PHASE
1 – Tally the Points.
All the points will be tallied. When playing in teams (groups of trios playing together), the team with the lowest number of points in that round will have face elimination.
2 – Play Immunity Cards, if any.
Any trio who won an immunity card can play it now.
3 – Vote-Off
Anybody on the team is up for elimination except for those with an immunity card and the trio who won the most points for the team. The trio with the highest number of elimination votes is eliminated. If there is a tie, there will be a re-vote between the tied. If there still is a tie, the player with the lowest points won is eliminated. If there still is a tie, the player who won the most points for the team that round votes the player off. Each trio has ONE vote.
I retain the power to modify these rules and will notify you with a change. I can always throw in a little twist, now and then!
CARDS:
Cards give you special abilities that will help you along the way, screwing up other teams while keeping your trio safe from elimination.
The Immunity Card: This card gives you the chance to keep your trio safe from elimination at step 2 of the elimination trio.
My Rules: This card lets you at any stage to change the settings of a game your way. You play this card when I ask you to.
Forced Dare: This card forces the trio you challenge to accept the dare.
Other cards will be revealed as the game goes on. Some cards will never be revealed until the end of the game.
The round plan will be revealed at the start of every round, excluding those little twists![/spoiler]
[spoiler=Rules]All teams must consist of 3 players.
PM's will be used until we get into later stages of the tournament, in which case I will use invites.
For PM's, you have 72 hours to jooin your game. For Invites, you have 2 invites before a warning pm. A third missed is ejection.
No reserves will be played.
I reserve all right to modify these rules.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Procedure In Case of Player Drop-Out]Should a player quit this tournament, a replacement player must be found by that trio's contact. Should no replacement be found by the next challenge, the team in question shall forfeit that game, with the game having been judged to have lasted 10 rounds. Should no replacement be found by the challenge after that, the team in question will be terminated.
Teams will not be replaced, reserves will not be used.[/spoiler]
