Thank you for joining the Rise of Rome tournament. If you have not joined, this tournament is full but is accepting reserves. If you enter as a reserve, you are guaranteed a spot in the next tournament I organize. Rules are below.
Important dates:
- Nov. 16: pool stage begins (arrange your own matches via thread and PM)
- Dec. 15: players who have not completed at least 2 matches subject to review and possible replacement by player from reserve (see below)
- Jan. 14: pool stage ends (you have just over 8 weeks to complete 5 mirror matches; if all are complete before this date, we will begin quarter-finals earlier)
- Jan. 15: quarter-finals begin
- Jan. 30: semi-finals begin
- Feb. 15: finals begin
Structure of tournament:
- There are 4 pools of 6 players each
- Each player will be assigned a random army from a select list of Rise of Rome armies (I probably should have posted this list earlier)
- You will play each player in your pool once in a mirror match, one with your drawn army, one with your opponent's drawn army
- 3 pts awarded for win, 1 pt awarded for draw of any sort (e.g. if you win both games in your mirror match, you recieve 6 pts)
- Top 2 players in each pool advance to quarter-finals
- Quarter-finals/semi-finals/finals all decided by mirror match where combined scores decide winner on percentage (e.g. if player A's combined BPs for both matches is 93/100 (93%) and player B's is 70/76 (92.1%), player B is victorious)
- Tie-breakers for those in pool stage will first be decided on head-to-head results as described above. If this maintains a tie, each player's total BPs for all 10 matches will be calculated to decide winner based on criteria as described above.
- Games not completed by deadlines are subject to adjudication
Reserves:
- There is currently 1 reserve player (Ericdoman1)
- If by Dec. 15, any player has not completed at least 2 matches, the player may be subject to replacement based on an assessment of how likely the player is to complete the remaining matches by Jan. 14
Arranging matches:
- Players are responsible for arranging matches
