Panzer Corps: join the Slitherine Tournament!

[AlbertoC]

Panzer Corps fans (we know there’s many of you out there) we have wonderful news for you.

We’re going to run a big tournament to establish once and for all who the real Panzer Corps Slitherine champion is!

Our tournament system hasn’t been implemented yet, so we’re going to run this in the good old way: manually. It will be a 32 player direct elimination tournament, which means we’ll have some very spectacular semifinals and final!

Important: this will be a rather big tournament, and we want our players to be motivated. It will be a direct elimination tournament, and each round will last one week. The rounds will be played on balanced MP maps in elimination rounds: if you think you can’t complete your game in a week please don’t sign up. This will be an intense experience - failure to complete your game in the allocated time will result in elimination from the tournament. It will be up to the participants to demonstrate (in the form of screenshots) their participation, their submitted turns and, most importantly, their victories!

It goes without saying that there will be some nice prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.

The first round will start next Monday – and that’s when we’ll announce the first map, so it’s going to be a surprise. Yes, I have an evil grin as I type this.

So, do you want to give it a shot?

Send an e-mail to albertoc@slitherine.co.uk providing your username on the forum and your timezone / hours in which you can play normally. Be quick! There are only 32 open slots!


One last thing: Many thanks to Goose 2 for all his suggestions and his activity on organizing tournaments for Panzer Corps – this tournament wouldn’t have been possible without his efforts. Thank you! You’re a real pillar of the Panzer Corps community.

Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy.

Daddy is super happy..

Highly Interested in this tournament as you know.

I am located in the Central US Time Zone.

My hours I can play are anywhere between 8pm through midnight and 5 am through 7 am every day.

I will make a supreme effort to bust through the scenarios and put forth a valiant effort.

Problem: I do not know how to post screen shots.

I will communicate the outcome of all my battles, and I will make sure to cc my competitor so they can verify the outcome.

So happy to be able to participate and thanks so much for the shout out on the forum it is truly humbling.

One week isn´t much, especially when contestants sit in different timezones. Of course, with a tournament of that size such a time restriction is probably nescessary.

We'll seed together players of same timezones

How will I know my opponent? Will you send mails to the players for the matches? Or will the pairings be announced in the forum?

I would like to start Monday or Tuesday to avoid time issues. What if my opponent only can play on weekends?

I'm hosting a tournament myself on Saturday(every Saturday!) so that would leave only Sunday for playing. What if the other or we both play slow, and game is not decided then?

How big are the scenarios? What is the estimated playing time?

And I must admit, that after my first post I feel the urge to post more. To get rid off the helpless truck

[zakblood]

trucks are good, they bring supplies

Hes right,it sounds about the right length to me,as ive just recently finished one Tournie that had alot less time than this and it wasnt enough.

I didn't say they are useless! Only helpless

[Hansstory]

This will be a fun tournament!
