Homba Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 To all CM enthusiasts: Tournamenthouse.com has opened its Winter 2001 CM Tourney for registration. The registration period will run from today (Saturday, January 27) until Wednesday, January 31st at midnight, when registration will close. Entry is free, and you do not have to be a T-House member to join (although we encourage you to join our popular CM ranking system, and play at our always active CM chat/play area). T-House CM Winter 2001 Tourney pages: http://tournamenthouse.com/CM/2001/ T-House CM main page: http://tournamenthouse.com/CM/ T-House CM Chat/Play area: http://tournamenthouse.com/CMChat.htm (allow a few seconds to load chat client) --------------- WARNING TO EUROPEAN/ASIAN/AUSTRAILIAN PLAYERS: Please read the rules carefully and realize that if you register for this tourney, the deadline times are going to be difficult for you. We will soon be hosting an EASTERN HEMISPHERE tourney that will be suited to your time zones. -------------- The format for the tourney will be a nine (9) round hybrid Swiss System, with a 10th round to resolve any ties for 1st place if the first tie-breaker (previous head-to-head result) does not resolve the tie. As many of you know, the Swiss System means no elimination- you will have the opportunity to play in all nine rounds. After a random pairing in round 1, players with like records will play in future rounds. Please view the CM Winter 2001 site for the full Introduction and Official Rules. http://tournamenthouse.com/CM/2001/ Each round will consist of one Quick Battle (“QB”) fought between the opponents. The parameters of the QB for each round will be posted at the QB area on the tourney site. The player higher up on the pairings list hosts the game, and the player lower down on the list picks side. Each player will have one opportunity to decline the map. The QB will work well in this tournament format. Though non-QB tourneys are possible in the future, Winter 2001 will be a QB tourney. The scheduling mechanisms employed in this tournament will ensure the prompt completion of each round. After registration concludes at midnight of Wednesday, Jan. 31st, pairings for Round 1 will be posted. Pairings will always be promptly posted following the completion of each round. Two rounds per week will be played, with a deadline on Sunday/Wednesday night at 7:00 pm Pacific Time. You are to contact your opponent by email after pairings go up for the round and arrange to play your game. If you cannot arrange to play before the deadline, you MUST play at 7:00 pm Pacific Time on the deadline night (either Sunday or Wednesday). You must come to the TournamentHouse CM chat area and meet your opponent for your game. Between 6:45 pm Pacific Time and 7:15 pm Pacific Time, you must sign in on the Tourney Forum (which will log the time you signed in), in order to prove your presence in the event your opponent does not show up. This will assure your automatic win if your opponent fails to appear. Please see the Official Rules for a detailed description of the above procedure. T-House CM Winter 2001 Tourney Schedule: Registration Begins: Saturday, Jan. 27 -Registration is Closed: Wednesday Jan, 31 at midnight Round 1: Begins Thursday Feb. 1; Deadline Sunday Feb. 4, 7pm pacific time Round 2: Begins Monday, Feb. 5; Deadline Wednesday, Feb. 7, 7pm pacific time Round 3: Begins Thursday, Feb. 8; Deadline Sunday Feb. 11, 7pm pacific time ***Round 4: Begins Monday, Feb. 12; ***Deadline Thursday, Feb. 15, 7 pm pacific time (we will not play on Wednesday night, which is Valentines Day) Rounds 5 through 9, and 10 if necessary, will follow the same pattern, with deadlines on Wed. or Sun. at 7pm pacific time.

Time difference between London and New York -5 hours, Time difference between London and Sydney +10 hours. I would suggest that you seperate your future tourney into seperate European and FarEastern/Australasian tournaments if you want similar deadlines.

Guest Napoleon1944 Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 One other thing. Make sure you can deal with GAMEY issues. Every opponent will do whatever it takes to win in a tourney situation. Things will be ugly and perhaps no fun at all so beware. ------------------ The only enemy I fear is nature. -Napoleon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk-vfa201 Posted January 31, 2001 Share Posted January 31, 2001 I could not stand gameys in CM. I'd like to join but I see no rules against gamey tactics. Too bad, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yobobo@tournamenthouse Posted January 31, 2001 Share Posted January 31, 2001 Well the QBs are setup to hopefully curb the gamey tactics. But to post every gamey tactic in the rules would be tough. Seems to be a huge list too, and not all agree with each other on this subject. Not sure how it could be totally controlled either. But it will be fun.

Subvet Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 I just want to ask that you keep the size down on these QBs. The first round was ok, at 1500 points, but I hope they don't get bigger. Smaller is ok though ------------------ Craig "Only a madman would consider the possibility of war between the two states (France and Germany), for which, from our point of view, there is no rational or moral ground." - Chancellor Adolf Hitler, Oct. 14, 1933 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yobobo@tournamenthouse Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 The weekend round QBs will be between 1250-1500. The mid week rounds will be smaller 800-1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subvet Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 That is great news, thanks. I've always preferred playing small QBs (1000 and below) but I know a lot of people like larger ones. It seems you have found a nice middle ground. ------------------ Craig "Only a madman would consider the possibility of war between the two states (France and Germany), for which, from our point of view, there is no rational or moral ground." - Chancellor Adolf Hitler, Oct. 14, 1933 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
