Storm of Arrows themed tournament - recruitment CLOSED

[Jonathan4290]

I am looking to run a Storm of Arrows themed tournament to begin August 10 at the latest. The intent of this tournament is provide those largely finished their Digital League games a competitive but fun venue to play in which a mix of skill levels are welcome. I have 8 players interested and hope to get 24 for 4 pools of 6 players each.

Players will be assigned random armies from the later period of Storm of Arrows from the tentative list below with each player allowed one veto. Each player will 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 August 10 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.

Tentative army list:
HYW English (continental late)
Medieval Welsh
Scots in Britain (later)

We currently have 17 players out of a maximum of 24. The army draw and tournament will begin on Aug 10 regardless with spots remaining open for 20 total players (4 pools of 5 players).

[ulysisgrunt]

I would like to play, and will cheerfully accept any army.
The problem is, I will be unable to play from September 27th through October 20th (Cruise to Hawaii and Tahiti' and there are no Polynesian lists!). Will the dates of my being off-line prevent me from playing?

[Londo]

Ulysisgrunt,

I have a solution ... I'll take the cruise to Hawaii and Tahiti in your place, and you can stay home and play in the tournament.

No need to thank me, I'm always ready to help out my fellow gamers.

[gianfrancocimino52]

I would like to join, but I will have my holidays from 12 August to 31 August, so I can't play, I'm sorry.
Cheers
Gianfranco

[zumHeuriger]

I'm still in and I'll post my veto for the Medieval Irish.

This is why its good to be a non-retired private sector American, especially a small business owner.
