BACKUPS

[Jarmo]

Well aint that quite a list. I suggest we do this in a way

that everybody plays everybody. Twice, so the influence

of luck is minimized. Sound good?

[Treeburst155]

All I would need to do that, Jarmo, is 47 scenarios. The deadline for completed games would be November 20, 2006. I say let's do it!

TCP/IP. We start Friday evening and play as much as possible by Monday morning. Points are added up, not averaged.

Married people get 1.5 times the points

[Michael Dorosh]

Are we using Fionn's T-34/KV-1 Rules???

What about the Short 122 rule?

Do the Russians get machineguns with tripods??????

[Michael Dorosh]

Even better...make it an infantry only tourney. Heh heh....

[CombinedArms]

Include me in! I guess it will have to be on the waiting list. That's what I get for coming down with the flu and not checking the board.

Still, top of the waiting list (which I think/hope I am) is not too bad a spot. I got into ROW that way.

[The_Capt]

Hey TB,

You gonna make sure none of these fine fellas is a Beta Tester right? I think this is going to be hard enough without a wolf in our midst.

[Treeburst155]

M. Dorosh,

Force picking rules for designed scenarios?

Tripods for Russian MGs will NOT be available except for the little known lend/lease Brens.

Combined Arms,

You are number one on the waiting list. You will probably get in; but even if you don't there will be an overflow tourney that will be an exact duplicate of this one except for the prize. I will be providing the prize for that one. Rest assured you will play.

The_Capt,

Any scenario designers creating scenarios for this tourney will be made aware of who is on the player list so that they don't inadvertantly let a tourney player test a prospective scenario. This I have thought of.

Treeburst155 out.

[Treeburst155]

.....and speaking of scenario designers, I have just found all the designers we need! In fact, I have found an entire team of designers who have offerred to produce ALL the scenarios for our upcoming WineCape CMBB tournament.

Our scenarios will be created by none other than the Boots & Tracks scenario design team!!

The Boots & Tracks team consists of seventeen people and is headed up by Team Leader, Ted Quincey (Superted). SuperTed is enthusiastic about the project and is determined to give us the quality scenarios we desire. Each scenario will be delivered to me as an "Official Boots & Tracks Scenario", having met the high standards required for such a distinction.

To find out more about Boots & Tracks, who the designers are, etc., go to BOOTS & TRACKS.

Let's hear it for the Boots & Tracks Scenario Design Team!! Thanks, guys!

Now we need only wait for CMBB to be released. At least I'm well out in front on this tourney. I can relax for awhile. I have a feeling we may have to wait some for the new game. The 3D modelling contest just ended a little while ago. How many new models will be in CMBB? 200? 250? How long does it take to do all that work?

Anyway, we're all lined up and ready to go when the game hits. While you guys are getting familiar with the game, Boots & Tracks will be working on our scenarios.

I'll keep this thread alive for people to get on the waiting list, and for people to bow out if Real Life goes on the offensive. Check this thread regularly for any new developments, my new Game Results and AAR Submission Procedures, etc.. This thread is the source for your CMBB tourney news.

Thanks again, Boots & Tracks!

The Gladiators

Great. I've ended up in a meat mincer.

"I'm super, thanks for asking..."

But doesn't this system of grouping players by their strength (and not seeding them) actually mean, that the winner of top section is very likely to win the whole tourney?

[Cpl Carrot]

I think I have been grouped with you as well. I am sure it is a mistake. Oh well I guess every group needs a water boy.

[Ari Maenpaa]

Hi TB155 and Juha A.,

I finally woke up...

and would like to sign up.

But it seems to be too late for the main event?

Well, probably the first backup player is very likely to get in later.

Ari

[Tuomas]

I was also sleeping or something. And as Ari pointed out there is no more room in the main event so I volunteer for reservist duty. With all the conditionals I might get to play even from the beginning!-)

Great news! Just playing is the prize for me anyway.

KiwiJoe, I have re-posted your wines when the pitched up a month or 2 ago here in South Africa. Just drop me an e-mail when you've received the prize. Will at most take another month to get their via snailmail. Good to see you back into the swing of things. Sorry to hear that New Zealand lost the right to co-host the next Rugby World Cup with Australia

SuperTed and Boots & Tracks designer team, my gratitude in advance for your historical/semi-historical scenarios for the RoW tourney. Thank you!

Regards,

Charl Theron

[Capitalistdoginchina]

Combined Arms..............its your lucky day.

Now this is a tough decision to make......but i must give up my slot to someone else as much as i would love to participate. I can't miss the opportunity to playtest these scenarios

Good luck Comrades

CDIC

PS. I think Comrade Kingfish will have the same dilema!

[Treeburst155]

The waiting list:

1)Combined Arms

2)Uber General

3)Ari Maenpaa

4)Tuomas

Do not be dismayed, guys. There will be an overflow tourney exactly like the main event, but with a different prize provided by me. You WILL play if you want to.

ciks,

Yes, chances are very good whoever wins Section One will go all the way, but not necessarily. By creating the sections based on past performance more players have a better chance of at least becoming a Section Winner. Also, I figured the Uber players would enjoy the huge challenge of playing other Uber players, even if it means a significantly reduced chance of actually winning the section.

Having said that, I am very open to suggestions and willing to make any changes I feel will improve the tourney. I don't really understand how "seeding" works. If someone could explain it to me I might be willing to change things.

Treeburst155 out.

[Cogust]

Seeding is done by dividing the players into groups depending on their previous performance (like you have done) and then putting together the sections by taking one player from each group. This will give the better ranked players an easier matchup in their sections (they will not face people from the same ranking group in any case) and is most likely to produce the strongest finalist group possible as the 'best' players are spread out between the sections.

[Treeburst155]

OK then, Combined Arms is now in the 48th slot with Uber General, Ari Maenpaa, and Tuomas on the waiting list, in that order.

Let's hear it for CapitalistDogInChina who has sacrificed his tourney fun in order to help Boots & Tracks with the scenarios. You will be missed, CapDog. Your sacrifice is admirable.
