Chaos Tourney VIII launching June 1st - Now Closed

[Karvon]

Sign-ups are now closed.

Tournament will run from June 1(Sat) to August 11(Sun).

Here's an overview of how it'll be run.

1. If there are enough signups, I will add divisions based on mirrored matches. In such divisions, you and your opponent will play using the same armies and map twice, once as each side. Divisions will be from 6-7 players for a total of 10-12 battles. You may re-roll the map once if both players agree, but you will use the same map for both battles. You may sign up for a mirrored division, regular division, or both.

2. In the regular divisions, then number of matches will be contingent on the number of people who sign up.

6-7 two matches vs each player - 10-12 altogether.
8-13 one match vs each player for 7-12
14-26 Divide into two divisions sorted by CT rankings one match each for 6-12
27-39 Divide into three divisions sorted by CT rankings one match each for 8-12.
40-52 Divide into four divisions sorted by CT rankings one match each for 9-12.

Rookie players will fill in divisions in the order they sign up.

3. All matches will be potluck for both armies and terrain, with both date and geography filters turned off. These are medium-sized battles, so 1200 points.

4. After a bit of research and experiment, I have made a spreadsheet which can randomly generate 300 matches based on the current 731 lists. We will use a website randomizer to generate the distribution of the battles to the pairings.

5. Each player may unilaterally reroll the battlefield once. If both agree, an additional re-roll can be done. A re-rolled battle is to be set to the same armies as originally generated; only the field can be re-rolled. The player rerolling should surrender the match and post a new challenge using the same armies.

5. The tourney will run a minimum of 8 weeks, with additional weeks added for battles over 8 to a maximum of 12.

6. In regards to other details, we will follow the rules and guidelines posted for TDC play.

7. Players need to own both Ancient and Medieval and all DLCs for both. We can accept one player per season per division who doesn't own all the DLCs. Such a player will need to have his matches created by his opponents.

8. The default battle type is OPEN BATTLE. If both players MUTUALLY AGREE, any of the other battle types can be played instead.

9. Points will be awarded for wins, marginal wins, ties, draws and marginal defeats as follows . . .

4 points - for a win where the losing player has not scored 50% or more
3 points - for a marginal win where the losing player has scored 50% or more
2 points - for a tie where both players score 60% or more, or for a draw where a player has scored at least 25%
1 point - for a marginal defeat where the losing player has scored 50% or more
0 points - for a loss, or for a draw where a player has not scored 25% or more

To win a game a player must always “rout” the opponent’s army. A "rout" occurs when an army breaks and 60% of its original troops are routed or dispersed, or if 40-59% of its original troops are routed or dispersed and the opponent has lost at least 25% less.

A draw will occur where neither army has broken by the match turn limit (24 turns), or at any point in the match by agreement between the two players. If both armies go over 59% and break on the same turn, that will be a draw as well.

If you have any questions or comments on this, please post in this thread.

If you wish to join, please post below, indicating whether you wish to be in mirrored, regular or both.

Hi Karvon,

This sounds like fun, so I would happily join.

That said, I don't have the medieval DLC. That said, I'll happily pick up the relevant DLC if someone else wants to join and also doesn't have the DLC so that I can at least create that match up.

I'm happy to do either regular or mirror - feel free to slot me in where it works best for numbers.

Thanks!

You will need a minimum of both Ancients and Medieval to participate. I grant one spot each season to someone lacking DLCs; your opponent can post matches if you lack a required DLC.

atm, we're short 3 players for running a mirror division, so not sure we'll get that or not in the next week or so. I'll put you down for both for now and can drop you from regular, should we get enough for mirror, and you not wish to play in both.

I'll check with the other no DLC player and see if he's willing to give up one of his slots to you.

Please, sign me up for Regular in case you divide it into two divisions, since I do not own all Medieval DLC's.
