Tournament for DOM world champion 2014 !?

Post by Tigre »

Was hoping the studio would organise something !? they must be hard at work ^^

We used to run championships on paper wargammes in the 90's, up to 200 player with elo ranking !
So here are my thinking on the matter :
- campaign scenario must be used, because it gives the time for skill play to develop and take advantage on what we call bad rolls ...
- swiss round would be used, with no tie, best player goes to next round until the end the other player is out
- two games played each round, one as axis and one as soviet, see rules below for tie
- the time must be short, we must keep it 2 weeks for each round to keep under 3 month tourny
- players can be first 128 or 256 depending on inscription (could be 64 or 516!)
- Elo ranking would be used to enshure that best players wont encounter themselves, see rules below for set up

rules for tie,
in case each player wins a game, sum the victory points, the highest wins. In case moscow is taken, record the turn it was taken, the other player must take moscow before that turn in order to win.

rule for elo and pairing,
if 128 players, the 64 for best players will encounter the 64 others, player 1 with player 65, player 2 with 66, so on up to player 64 with 128 ... in the end unless surprise, last macth would be 1 vs 2 ! but the are always surprises :)

this is just an idea for a tourny, please coment and give ideas, would you play or not ? would be nice if it would take off ^^

ps : I want' to play the tourny :)

We are planning on running something as soon as we can.

However, if you wanted to help run something in the community, we would be happy to help support you.

Thanks,

Big thanks for Bringing DoM to the market! It is indeed an exciting game with many strategic and tactical dimensions.

Any forecast for the first DoM tournament? I think the framework suggested above would be really good, and I would definitely like to participate. I suggest a timeframe of 3 weeks per round, considering that some participants may have jobs and family which could sometimes distract from focusing on the game...
