Dukasaur Plays Baltic 31 [W=bearshark3, GA=therhino3]

The series will go to number 32. After 32 we will have a Grand Finale tournament. Rules about exactly how we will handle duplicate qualifications and/or vanished members will be published later.

In the meantime, I am dressing up these last 16 tourneys with some GA medals, maybe some other prizes, maybe some other special features. PM me if you have a cool idea for GA medals and/or special features that could be incorporated in this series without destroying the basic simplicity of it.

For this one, I am applying for a GA medal for the winner of a "Bronze medal" game. Unlike previous tourneys, in this one the Bronze medal game will include all 8 players that survive Phase 1 but are eliminated in Phase 2.

Map: Baltic Crusades

Settings: Auto Seq No Spoils Chained Foggy Trench No Round Limit
Warning to all the silly trench-haters: this is a trench tournament!

Tournament Flow: 32-player 1v1 elimination bracket. Bracket-randomization feature at Challonge.com will be used in setup. 1 game per round for first four rounds, followed by a best-of-three Final. Freemiums are allowed, but are required to reserve one spot for this tourney, and will default if they fail to do so. If a freemium makes it to the final, we can play 1 game at a time.

[spoiler=advancement rule in case of dropouts]When someone drops out of a bracket, there are really three things you can do:
  1. Bring in a reserve. This has the drawback that someone will enter the tournament and may win the tournament while having played fewer games than any of the others.
  2. Advance the person who is left without the opponent. This has the drawback that someone gets an unearned freebie advance without having to fight for it.
  3. Resurrect the person who was eliminated the previous round by the missing player. This has the drawback that someone advances who has already lost and should have been eliminated.
All three methods have their pros and cons, and I have used all three at different times. Still, I'm cognizant that all three have some inherent unfairness, and I was wondering which to use in this case, when I came upon a fourth solution.

If someone drops (other than in round 1) the player last defeated by the absent player will be resurrected. However, he will have to play an extra game against his scheduled opponent. The regularly scheduled player will advance if he wins either game, while the resurrected player will only advance if he wins both games.[/spoiler]
