Decline and Fall tournament - arrange your matches here
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2015 7:14 pm
Welcome to the Decline and Fall tournament! Please read all rules below. We will be using the OLD FOG and NOT the NEW FOG(U).
Please also note that pools are divided in half for the purpose of more scheduled matches. I have done this, so if the new FOG replaces the old FOG, we will not lose as many matches.
Important dates:
- Jul 1: FIRST pool stage begins (3 weeks to complete 4 matches)
- Jul 22: FIRST pool stage ends (players who have not completed their matches subject to possible replacement by reserves)
- Jul 23: SECOND pool stage begins (5 weeks to complete 6 matches)
- Sep 6: SECOND pool stage ends
- Sep 7: quarter-finals begin
- Sep 22: semi-finals begin
- Oct 5: finals begin
Structure of tournament:
- There are 4 pools of 6 players each, or 8 sub-pools of 3 players each (or in some cases sub-pools of 2 players awaiting 1 player to join)
- Each pool is divided in half for the purpose of scheduling matches
- Each player will be assigned a random army from a select list of Immortal Fire armies
- You will eventually 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 receive 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)
- Games not completed by deadlines are subject to adjudication
Arranging matches:
- Players will only arrange matches they are scheduled to play. This means each player will play 2 opponents in mirror matches in the first pool stage, and 3 opponents in mirror matches in the second pool stage.
- Players are responsible for arranging matches
- Post challenge in this thread AND PM to ensure your opponent saw it
Rules of games:
- Armies will consist of 500 pts
- You may customize your army before each match
- Fog of war and double moves will be used
- Digital League rules on army size/composition do not apply
- Arab Conquest armies may not choose the troop type “Warriors” at all, units with bows and marked “M” in the DAG
- Dailaimi may not choose the troop type “Warriors” at all, units with bows and marked “M” in the DAG
Posting results:
- Winners of each individual match are responsible for posting result in this thread; I will periodically update the results table
- Please use this format:
Pool A result:
Khalid (Arabs) 30/45 defeats Vahan (Byzantines) 50/50
Ratings:
- This tournament will count towards ratings and rankings used by the Digital League
