Amadeus Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 To all players, tournament signup will close 2013-09-14 Here are the basic Rules for the Tournament: 1) Every player needs a NAME and an EMAIL ADDRESS for playing this tournament. 2) Strategic Command WWII Global Conflict Assault on Democracy, Patch v1.01, is required, please update! 3) “1939 World At War” is the Default Campaign to play. Mirror matches are helpful to find a clear winner and explicitly possible. At least only 1 single PBEM game is required. 4) “Playing time” Every match has to be finished in 105 days. 5) “Playing speed” At least 105 turns has to be played in 105 days! 6) “Victory conditions” Due to the fact that it could be difficult to finish a game in 105 days the Axis minor victory conditions decides the match. Axis minor victory conditions are (after 105 days in tournament): Berlin, Rome, Paris, Tokyo, Seoul, Manila Allies minor victory conditions (after 105 days in tournament). One of these cities in Allied hands (REMARK: I know that the Allies minor victory conditions are different to this but we need a clear decision after 105 days) 7) “Changing side rule” Every player has to play Axis AND Allies in the course of the tournament. After playing one side next match should be played with other side. Other agreements with opponent are possible. Example: Player 1 played Axis and desires to play Axis in next group match too. He could try to arrange his request with his opponent. This is possible by arrangement!! If his opponent (Player 2) played Allies in first match and desires to play Axis now Player 1 must change his side. Example: Player 1 and Player 2 both played Axis in first match and desire to continue playing Axis in next match against each other. Now alphabetical order is taken and gives the Player “Alpha” the final decision against Player “Beta” for this match. But if “Alpha” played Axis 2 times he fall behind against any player who played 1 each or 2 times Allies in any upcoming match. 8) “Group phase” Every group has 3 players. 2 games are needed to play each other. Group phase lasts from 2013-09-15 till 2013-12-31. How many players will reach the KO rounds (1 or 2 players of each group) depends on how many players sign in till 2013-09-14 9) “Default settings” Options and Advanced settings are Any changes to this options should be arranged before starting, such as Soft build limits, Retreats, Fog of War or something like that. Script changings are not allowed!! 10) “Fair Play Rule” Any issue or gaming that defies to fair playing could lead to exclusion of the tourney.

Clausewitz Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Amadeus: I assume 12 players is minimum and you can add more brackets if more players wish to participate. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterClaude Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi Amadeus! Don't want to rush anything but the earlier the better! I guess we won't reach the Final before SC3 is out! Once most things are settled, some groups may be moving on with their first game if opponents are ready. Count me in as soon as possible.

Sure, 12 is good but I find a way with any other number. ;-) Hey Monsterclaude, maybe we could start earlier. But give us some more days to practice the new patch.

Amadeus Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Oh, sure. I guess we could soften the starting date and be open for new players till September at the same time. When all matches of group phase are finished we starting over to next round. This could be earlier as planned now. We made it that way in tournaments before.

Clausewitz Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Correct me if I am wrong but I believe one advantage to waiting is you may get more players which may permit more brackets and the ability of two players from each group to advance.

Amadeus Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yes, that's right. I try to do one thing without stopping another thing. In other words, starting the games in August but signing in till September and maybe building more groups. The only problem is to find a good advance.

Clausewitz Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I believe the tournament would be even better with more players. Perhaps the beta testers who gave us such a helpful AAR and those who helped refine patch would consider joining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludi1867 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hi Amadeus Having been 'prodded' by Catacol Highlander, I would be interested in joining your Tournament. I have tried sending an e-mail to the address you gave in the first post in this thread, but if that does not work, please consider this an official request to join.

Amadeus Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hi ludi, when you are Doug then I received your Email. I only have a small gap with my internet provider. Sorry, you are in! Regards Amadeus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catacol Highlander Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hi Amadeus Looking forward to the tourney, but just to say that I go away this coming Saturday for 2 weeks. Internet access in that time will be limited - 1 week is a rugby tour where I wont have any net access at all... so I will be out of action until Sat 24th August. I apologies for this - I will get fast turns going the moment I get back, but my opponents will need to know I am away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clausewitz Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Amadeus: I noted comment by Highlander regarding vacation. I also will be away for a week at end of August. The reason I am writing is that many people travel in August and I would ask you consider staying with original schedule of early-mid September.

Amadeus Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Gentleman, I guess we could relax the starting date a bit. There are good arguments to do that. And we are all excited to start. But all players could go for a vacation before September and the guaranteed playing time would be the same as mentioned in the rules item 4). I will notice the date of every single match. But it is a good idea to to give me a lead about your absence from home. I take that into account when making the groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Tournament News: We are close to start the tournament. I have some possible players to validate and I wanna make sure that you are ready to launch the tourney. We have 15 players at the moment. So maybe it would be the easiest way to make just a 1/8 Final with that number of players. But even when some players will sign in it will be easy to implement them into the Tournament. In that case we advance a 2 player bracket into a 3 player bracket. Only winners will reach the quarter. Anyway, we could start soon with playing but this will be a kind of pre-launch. Every 2 player group could get an additional player till 2013-09-15 as regulated in the rules. If you have a favorite player cause of holiday times or regional reasons now is the time to contact me. Pre-launching will begins about 2013-08-15. It would be very nice to publish your home region at least your country.

Clausewitz Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Do I understand your post to mean that you have abandoned the bracket format in your 6/30 post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hey Clausewitz: Let me say, maybe. When we have 15 or 16 players it is the easiest way to make 8 x 2 players. When a 17th player come the way the first bracket of 2 will get a 3rd player. The 18th player will go into the 2nd bracket. You will see it in a draw very soon. btw. I have all emails I need. Now 16 players are in. Puma from Germany is also in. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clausewitz Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Amadeus: I would appreciate hearing other players opinions but I believe the highest level of interest in the tournament is when many players still have a vested interest. Eliminating half of the players after one match is in my opinion not the best approach. I believe participation not speed of tournament should be the goal. Three players per bracket with two advancing promotes continued involvement. I realize with 15 or 16 players this might complicate later rounds but I am confident you could overcome this issue.
