Hi there!

Claymore and Randy are currently organizing a tournament.

Tournaments are always a fun opportunity for testing your skills against other players and since those two guys seem to have put a lot of thought into it I figured I'd help them promote their tournament a bit.

Read their Thread for more details, you can also register as a participant there.

Also below you can find a poll with regards to the possible tournament types.

Feel free to vote*!

Swiss Style.
What this means (as opposed to the knockout format of the previous tournaments) is that instead of losers being eliminated, they will be re-paired with players who have a similar number of wins and losses. This means that everyone gets to plays every round, and even have a chance of winning the tournament after losing a game. The player with the most points (wins) at the end is declared the winner.

[...]
Elimination or Double Elimation.
Elimination was the format of all previous tournaments. Double elimination is a variant where losers get a chance to continue by winning a playoff.

If it's not obvious how these systems work, Google and wikipedia are you friends.

Have fun,

*I'll leave it to c&R to decide if they want to use the poll's result. Also I could hand them the results just including the votes of players that are registered tournament participants (but still anonymous), if that's what they prefer.

Poll will be closed and results displayed on 1st of April.

54% (28 votes)

Sir TToby

hmm i think swiss style would be a problem because we have so much players, it is hard to organize... but if you would really get it, it might become very good =D
