Rise of Rome themed tournament - recruitment CLOSED

[Jonathan4290]

I am looking to run a Rise of Rome themed tournament to begin November 20 at the latest. The intent of this tournament is provide those largely finished their Digital League games a competitive (but fun!) venue to play. I have 20 players tentatively interested and hope to get 24 for 4 pools of 6 players each.

Players will be assigned random armies from Rise of Rome and play everyone in their pool in a paired mirror match using 500pt armies (one using their assigned army, one using their opponent's). Armies can be customized before each battle. Fog of war and double moves will be used. 3pts will be awarded for a win, 1 pt for a tie of any sort. The top 2 players in each pool will advance to the quarter-finals sudden death round where players will once again play each other in a paired mirror match; the winner will be decided by adding up the scores of each player for both games with the best overall percentage advancing to the next round.

The tournament is planned to begin November 20 at the latest. The pool stage will be very quick and rigorous, all 5 paired games to be completed within 8 weeks with adjudication for any unfinished matches, and each sudden death game to be completed within 2 weeks. Those listed below are players I have informally spoke with and have said they are interested. If you are one of these players, please confirm your intent to play:

We have 23 players and need one more player. All skill levels are welcome but priority will be given to players who have completed most if not all of their Digital League games and have demonstrated they are able to complete games quickly.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or PM me.
