If this video doesn’t get you in the right mood for it, then you might be dead to me. Which is still ok, some of my best friends are zombies.
Reply here to sign up by March 4th, 2018, Standard Earth Time. Games will begin soon after.
Exact format will be TBD depending on number of players, but ideally 2-3 group matches of 4 players each, then knockout rounds. [edit: actually I’m starting to think more wild cards rather than FIFA style, because the difference between first and second place in a given set is probably more luck than skill] Turn-based, stately timing, with autopilot.
Who will claim the ?
Also, chime in here with any further suggestions on tourney format, I just want it to be fair and fun.
And did I accidentally steal this video from @JammaTal’s RftG Tourney because my memory is worse than anyone’s? All these questions will be answered…
I’ll close the signups in about 24 earth hours from now and then get to work on posting table assignments and final rules. Still open to any rules suggestions until then, but seems like we have converged.
Here’s who I think have said they are in so far based on the replies, please reply if there is a ? after your name, or if you have changed your mind
Ok, signups are closed and we have 12 players, which is a very good number for a tourney. I just flew to Kuala Lumpur and boy are my wings tired. I’ll plan to post rules and tables tomorrow.
Let’s use the following settings for the group round:
Turn-Based
Classic components
Classic ship
Cancel flights II and III
Long-Term Game
Digital Deck
Auto-Pilot
Let’s do 3 single-ship games of 4 players each so that most people get to play most other people. I will randomize A,B,C by player for the second and third games, but might as well just go in signup order for game 1.
After 3 such games, the 8 players with highest aggregate scores will advance to the semi-final tables.
