C3P Team Championship Tournament

[SirPartyMan]

Dear Friends:

In the past, people have asked for something a little different from the CCC which would also be a hallmark event for us.

Well, wait no longer. Smaller, more cozy 5-7 person teams - fewer events - but the same thrill of victory and agony of defeat.

<drum roll>

The First (but hopefully one of many) CIV3Players Team Championship Tournament will be held next weekend April 22 and 23rd (Saturday and Sunday), using C3C version 1.22. Please read the rules and schedule carefully.

Please register a team (properly named of course - be clever, but no obscenity, please) of no more than 7 players as replies to this thread anytime prior to Friday night at 11:59 pm EDT April 21st. At midnight, as it becomes Saturday, this thread will be locked. A maximum of 16 teams may enter, first-registered, first-served. There will be 5 events.

The members of the team can be used in any combination during the 5 events (including tag-team substitutions). To play, you must appear in the CIV3Players member database as of April 21st at 11:59 pm EDT and be a member in good standing.

The winner of this tourney will be the team with the most points after all 5 events. If there is a tie, after 5 events, there will be a sudden-death tiebreaker played according to the rules of event 5.

Here is the point system for scoring:

1st Place = 8 points
2nd Place = 5 points
3rd Place = 3 points
4th Place = 1 point

In some events, where there are two equal semi-finalists who come in tied for the 3rd and 4th positions, then each will receive 2 points.
.................................................

Universal Rules (Unless Exception noted): Game mode simultaneous, seeding random, SGL turned on, Accelerated production on, Cultural conversions OFF, Preserve random seed on, climate normal, age 4 billion, barb level roaming, temp temperate, and difficulty level regent. In all games, with civ specific abilities on, the order of selection will be based on current ladder rank. Selection will then alternate 1-2-2-1-1-2-2-1 etc. between the two teams.

If there are any disputes, the TD in charge of that event will make a ruling. If challenged by either side, then a committee of at least 3 Ladder Admins and TD's will be called upon to impartially reach a fair decision. All parties are bound by this decision.

NOTE: Players are expected to be in the lobby 15 minutes BEFORE the match starts to handle all registration issues so the events can start promptly. If no one from a team has registered by the scheduled start time of the tourney, or contacted the TD, the TD will assume that the team isn't entering that event, and the event will begin as soon as all registered teams have all their players checked-in and available. There is a maximum grace period of 10 minutes for all events and then the TD will close registration. Incomplete teams will be dropped from that event.

Best,
SPM

Ouch people better hurry. Will there be time to launch it?

[rodrigom]

Btw where we suppose to put roster?

*edit: btw, I think the number of players should be limited with 5 like it was... So we can get, maybe, 16 teams...!

After all, there won't be needed more than 3 players, unless u in top4 clans, than u will need 4... 1 still will be there just to sub... So why make this number of ppl bigger? Will only make bigger teams and than, less teams.

[Gracchus]

Thats awesome, SPM

C3V has been planning a *strangely* similar tourney for -- interestingly enough -- the same weekend. Only, we have been planning this for over a month.

You also knew this. Skid put up a poll on March 30, and the players voted to have it this weekend.

www.civ3vets.proboards75.com/index.cgi?board=ccc&action=display&thread=1143707767

The day before, we put up another poll, and this format was picked.

www.civ3vets.proboards75.com/index.cgi?board=ccc&action=display&thread=1143655537

We have been planning this event for the last few weeks, and you knew this.

Why would you choose to hold the same tournament on the same weekend?

Very classy

This you newest prong of the war on C3V?

[CanuckSoldier]

I have no idea if this was planned by SPM, CG, but you can hardly point fingers, TD's at C3V scheduled tournaments at the exactly same time as C3P in the first week of the separation. At the time the C3P admin team decided not to make that a issue in public, but since you brought the issue up now I thought I'd state the hypocracy of your statement.

CS

[Gracchus]

I'm not sure quite what to make of your statement CS -- comparing this to the first week of separation. If any tournies were scheduled at the same time during this time, I did not know, and would not have intended it, had I known.

I do know that we respectfully backed off and ran no tournies or counter events during your last CCC. We purposely planned out ladder event to be staggered with yours.

I just don't see the reason for doing this. SPM created this entire board and thread today -- for a brand new tourney he has planned for.......next week -- when he knows we are doing a STRANGELY similar event.

If this isn't a passive-agressive act of "war", I don't know what is. I have tried to stop posting about all this to encourage peaceful coexistence, but I think this is going a little far.

Is this really the level you want to take this "disagreement" to?

I don't see the point.

[CanuckSoldier]

Well I'm not a member of the admin team here so I'll have to let SPM or one of the other admins field your concerns. But what I stated above did in fact happen whether you intended it to or not, which is all past history now ofcourse. I'm certainly willing to let things go there separate ways.

CS

[Gracchus]

Can we please stop this war then?

[SirPartyMan]

First, no I was unaware of any scheduled events at the other ladder. I don't really follow their forum.

Second, it wouldn't have mattered anyway because we are trying to run events to satisfy our members here.

Third, as was stated early, this thread is for registrations only. I will not delete the prior posts; however, any further posts on this thread which are not registrations will be removed. Start another thread if you wish to debate.

Thanks, SPM

Just add a post to the end of this thread with your team name and their ladder names.

Best, SPM
