Other than the prize pool and a slightly revised tournament format due to the increased participation, the rules remain the same and can be found here: threadID=710756

Prize Pool:

A total of 1540 D are up for grabs in this year's Summer Gunboat Tournament. The winner of the finals will receive 850 D! Second takes away 450 D, and third place with 240

Tournament Format:

The first round will consist of a half-round robin (4 games) with groups being delimited as such: http://tinyurl.com/5shun7c

Each game is worth 60 D, either taken all by the solo winner or split equally amongst draw participants.

After all four games, the twenty-one top players will move onto the second round, seeded by points, and play four more games. The top two of each group will advance with the best third place finisher also tagging along. A final four games amongst the top seven will determine the winners.

No player will play the same country twice in any one round.

Again: http://tinyurl.com/5shun7c

Round One emails will be sent out Monday with expectations that all seven games have started by Saturday of next week. The next three games will begin shortly after.

Any questions can be directed here, but please keep the discussion concise and civil. Thank you and good luck!

the administration email through which all tournament functions will pass through is [email protected]. It isn't up yet, so don't start sending us emails, but please make sure it will pass through your spam filters as emails will being going out by this time tomorrow. Just like the leagues, one player will be asked to make a game with a certain name and setup, sharing the password with the administration and other six players when it is done. I hope you are all as excited as I am to see the first annual Summer Gunboat Tournament begin!

Group B and G have all seven players in their games!
Groups C, E, and F are still waiting on a few players to join.
Groups A and D are waiting for their game to be created. If the "captains" don't make the game by tomorrow, we'll have someone else make the game.

@ulytau, I sent you a PM regarding a problem with your email.
Geofram (130 D(B))

Group D's game has been made.

We are waiting to hear from the 11 people that have a game to join.

Check those emails! If you're not in your game by Saturday midday, you'll be replaced from the entire tournament.

Many of the players that have not responded to emails have been on webDip several times since the emails were sent. It could be that they've forgotten to check and not had an opportunity to see this thread on the front page.

I'm headed out to study for an exam. If someone could please make an attempt to keep this relatively high on the forum food chain, I would appreciate it.

Another thing you could do GEO is since you have all of the user ID's, I know it would be a pain in the ass...but maybe PM them all.

Geofram (130 D(B))

All games have been created. There are 15 players total not in-game that need to be. So far there are only two players I suspect will need replacing.

I would like to join as a replacement - didnt see the initial call to register
Geofram (130 D(B))
04 May 11 UTC
Yeah, we filled up pretty quick, but there may be room for more replacements. For anyone hoping to enter the tournament late, here is how it will go down:

On Friday, May 6, at as close to noon (EST) as I can, I will make the list of players that have yet to join their games. Anyone on that list that does not join their game and email their group by noon Saturday will be removed from the tournament.

There are currently six players on the waiting list, in order by the date I received their replacement-signup:

1. Caddyshack
2. rallinator
3. Ursa
4. krellin
5. Kingdroid
6. BlackAdder

To add yourself to this list, you MUST either post your email here, or post here that you've PMed or Emailed me your address. PMs without a post here will not be accepted. The maximum number of possible replacements is 15, but I suspect the number to be more around 4 or 5.

At noon on Saturday, I will begin sending out emails in timed waves. Let's assume there are two empty slots so I can example:

12:00 - 2:00 PM - Caddyshack && rallinator have the links and passwords. (2 in the pool)
2:00 - 4:00 PM - Now Ursa && krellin also have the passwords. (4 in the pool)
4:00 - 6:00 PM - Now Kingdroid && BlackAdder also have the passwords. (6 in the pool)
etc, etc

It will be very much a first-come-first-served lottery with a biased for those that signed up before others. If you're on the list, figure out what time you'd be receiving the password (these are all EST times) and make sure you're ready to join.

Remember, the amount of empty slots will determine the time, so don't just go by this example. (For instance, if there are three empty slots, krellin, Kingdroid, and BlackAdder will receive the passwords at 2:00PM) The number of empty slots will be posted by noon Saturday.

I am choosing to do this quick lottery system in order to keep a firm deadline of having every game start by Saturday evening because instructions for the second game will be going out sometime in the week after.

After the first round games have started, can you make public the list of players who abandoned the tournament? User names and User IDs
Geofram (130 D(B))
05 May 11 UTC
There are 5 people I've not heard from or seen in-game. That list will go up Friday, I'll make a final list of the people we had to replace on Sunday.

@DrJingles, the game is just waiting on you to join!

Perfect example
http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=60340

Person (Germany) missed their first turn. I hit draw/cancel. I'd prefer cancel but half the people wanted draws. All but England voted, he knew he had the advantage and didn't care. Another person left. (France) England definitely won't vote. Now that Turkey is tie for 1st place, he removed his vote as well.

Beginner Q about pause
IWe have one player who hasn't entered moves and the game is about to advance. Can I hit Pause to allow him extra time or is it some kind of voting thing where you need a majority of the remaining players? I'm not trying to do this on the sly or anything, the player is actually someone I am fighting but so far none of us have missed any turns and I hate to see the game decided by something as lame as him getting back later than expected from the long weekend.

What to do in this situation?
I asked for a pause in this game around two months ago but during the pause one of the players left the site, then I emailed a mod who said he would unpause if the player didn't respond in day. However another play asked that the pause be left on for a couple days as he needed it but he hasn't returned either. I am frankly sick of this an would like the game cancelled but other players aren't being responsive.. gameID=55365#gamePanel
