Chaos Tourny VII - Q & A

As TDC will be finishing in a couple of days, I'm opening sign ups for the upcoming Chaos Tourney VII which will start on June 5th.

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 582 lists. We will use a website randomizer to generate the distribution of the battles to the pairings.

5. Each player may request one re-roll of battlefield. 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.

5. 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 Digital League play.

7. Players need to own both Ancient and Medieval and all DLCs for both. We'll be using the upcoming Swiss DLC as well. 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. I'll leave sign up open until 6/1, so you've got about a month to decide.

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.

How quickly will we need to get through the battles?

The tournament will last between 8-12 weeks, depending on the number of matches. Like in TDC, you can freely schedule your matches as you like, as long as you complete them by the deadline.

Given that I've never participated in one of these, I'd like to sign up for the regular section according availability.
I don't have all the dlcs for medieval. I do for ancients.

OK, one player per division doesn't need all the DLC; his opponent can create games in that case, so you can play as the first one signing up in that situation.

I like mirror sistem. But, won't all players play the same way?

No, the majority of the players prefer just a standard game. I've made provision for a mirror division as some requested it. The first time I opened it two seasons ago we had 12 for the mirror divisions, but last season only a couple were interested in the format so we didn't run it. If we get at least six, I'll open a division for it.

Ah okay. Anyway, I prefer to play where there are more players, I think there is more variety. So I have no problem playing in the standard.

You can opt to play in both if you wish, though that would mean more games to play.

Would like to join in regular. If possible, not in the same division as Snuggle Bunny. It is nice to watch his videos, not so nice when playing against him. :D
