There's never enough random terminators for me to join lately, so I''l have to create some.
This is a tournament with a really simple structure. 24 premium players start. There will be five waves of 3 games. All player groupings are completely random. After the 15 regular games, the field will be cut to 7 players who will play a 7X7 game final. Scores will reset before the final except for tiebreaking purposes.
Game load, in other words, is 15 games total, only 3 start at a time, until the Final. The Final (if you make it) is 7 more.
I will start the next wave when most of the games in the previous wave are finished, but I will not necessarily wait for all of them.
All games are Terminator on Random map. All are Automatic, Sequential, Escalating, No Trench, 24-hour turns, 50-round limit.
All are 6-player games except Wave 2 which is 8-player.
All are Sunny except Wave 4 which is Foggy.
Wave 1 has Parachute forts, Wave 3 has Unlimited forts, Wave 5 has Adjacent forts. All others are Chained.
Put another way...
- 6-player Terminator, Auto, Seq, Esc, Para, No Fog, No Trench, 24-hr, 50-rdlim
- 8-player Terminator, Auto, Seq, Esc, Chain, No Fog, No Trench, 24-hr, 50-rdlim
- 6-player Terminator, Auto, Seq, Esc, Unlim, No Fog, No Trench, 24-hr, 50-rdlim
- 6-player Terminator, Auto, Seq, Esc, Chain, FOG, No Trench, 24-hr, 50-rdlim
- 6-player Terminator, Auto, Seq, Esc, Adj, No Fog, No Trench, 24-hr, 50-rdlim
Scoring System:
Swiped with permission from Ch0rn's War of Fog series.
- 2 points per kill
- 2 bonus point for first kill of each game
- -1 point for being first player eliminated in each game
- 5 points per win
- 2 bonus point for a clean sweep (defined as getting every available kill in a game, NOT necessarily on same turn.)
- 3 bonus points for a win by objective *
- -3 points for winning on rounds **
- -10 points for being kicked out of a game***
scoring notes:
*Winning on objective, you do not get the kills for remaining players.
**Winning on rounds, you still get the points for the win, but subtract the penalty.
***Don't get kicked .. you ruin the games for everyone...
Maximum possible points in an 8-player game is 23 (7 kills, 1 first kill, 1 win, 1 clean sweep). In a 6-player game it's 19.
- People who leave the site or are banned from the site are removed first.
- People who deadbeat a game or fail to accept two consecutive invites are removed next. Exceptions to this rule can be made in extraordinary circumstances. It's up to you to report extraordinary circumstances, not for me to chase you.
- Remaining eliminations are by lowest points.
- In case of players with same points, the following tiebreak criteria will decide who advances:
- total wins
- total sweeps
- total "first kills"
- precedence (first to sign up.)
Note: Since the whole motivation behind this tournament is that there's not enough Random Terminators for me to join in the public pool, I will obviously be playing.
