2006 Holiday Tournament

[SirPartyMan]

Dear Friends:

We will be holding a special end of the year Holiday Tournament on Saturday, December 30th.

It will be for single players, playing in a 1v1v1v1v1v1v1 (7 players to facilitate reloads) format. I assume there won't be more than 49 entrants per event, so each event should go for two rounds.

There will be three events. You can compete in one, two, or all three events (time permitting).

We will total up the points across all three events and crown a Tournament champion, according to the following point system:

1st place - 16 points
2nd place - 10 points
3rd place - 6 points
4th place - 2 point
Just Making it to the Final Round in any event (5th-6th-7th) - 1 point

If any ties occur, which is unlikely, the combined points will be added, divided by the number of ties, and then each person receives their portion. An example, if two players tie for third, each would receive 4 points (6+2)/2

Here are the events:

Event #1 - MPT - Saturday, Dec. 30th at 9:30am EST.

fun part of mpt is cuz its fast timer, so u cant exacly manage to deffend against multiple enemies in case u double banged.

The newest version of Player's future is 1.76.

[SirPartyMan]

Thanks I corrected timer speeds to fast. I added that future is version 1.76.

As far as Jeffmann's comments, I realize that 99% of all Future games are teamers; however, this is a single player not a team tournament and I thought the skill involved would be to show mastery of more than one era/gamestyle. The combination of MPT, 3CC with QC/UU, and Future is both representative and challenging.

Anyway, if someone is not interested in this little fun tournament, no problem - I'm sure there will be plenty of games in the lobby to join as well.

PS: I adjusted times by 30 minutes.

PPS: I will put up a Case's tourney for people to sign up; however, it will only be used for registration and the generation of a random #. Pairings and reporting will be done manually.

Leaves almost no chance for the euros to play seeing as they are 6hrs ahead making it 5pm, this event is probably take some 4-5 hours, making it 10-11pm on new years eve... Why don't we move it to januar 1st around 2pm EST? Most people got that day off anyway.
