Conceptually, I’m looking for a 16 person tournament, all games anonymous. You start with one random game, if you lose you are out of contention, though there will be a loser’s bracket and a loser’s bracket champion. First round (a single random game, to minimize the burden on the mods) will start this weekend and go through mid-October. Second round (a single game) will be mid-October through mid-November with Semifinals (three games) starting late November and finals (three games) hopefully ending before Christmas. 24 hour phases (finalize earlier when possible), all games anonymous.
BY SIGNING UP YOU AGREE TO NOT LOOK AT ANY POTENTIAL OPPONENT’S GAME HISTORY FOR ANY REASON, HONOR RULES FOR THIS CASUAL TOURNAMENT.
I have emailed / PM’d mods regarding this tournament, therefore anyone with access or knowledge of any of those emails / PM’s is not allowed to play. Depending on the interest level we may expand to 24 people or even 32 people, or end up with only 12 or 8. Again, this is a casual tournament, so I will adjust some aspects of the tournament on the fly.
This tournament will be somewhat organized by GR (overall, not by category, September 2017), as far as sign-ups. The first 6 in the top 100 will be guaranteed a spot, the first 4 ranked 101 – 200 and the first 2 ranked 201 – 500. Once those spots are filled, please sign up under Alternates (do not organize by GR) and I’ll figure out how many people to include.
Feel free to post questions in this thread, I will even answer some of them! ;-)
Thanks and good luck!
