Post by SailingGuy »

Announcing MARCH MADNESS 2012

Hopefully this will become an annual event to determine the top ATG players each year.

For sixteen participants. May expand to 32 if enough interest.

One on one battles. Single elimination in early rounds. Double elimination will begin after the semi-finals, in order to determine 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place finishers.

Random seeding of players. (2012 finishing order will determine 2013 seeding.)

Rounds 1 & 2:
Small World

Beginning Round 3:
Medium World

All rounds:
Normal World
Mirrorish
Shroud
Use Resources
One Town Start
Climate - Full Range
Fog of War
PBEM Protection
Passwords

Player #1 must declare war on Player #2 during the first turn.

Tournament will begin March 1, 2012 (or sooner if we fill the 16 slots). Depending on participation there may be some randomly determined first round byes.

I think you should 'talk' to Jagular, since he posted roughly the same idea.

His involves some multi-player match ups. This is strictly one-on-one, single elimination. So "March Madness" will focus on tactical skill rather than a combination of tactical & diplomatic skill.

How are you going account for the advantage of moving first, especially in the early rounds on a small map where it will be more pronounced?

OK. Sounds good. If it creates a problem we can correct for March Madness 2013. [:)]

See this thread for one possible idea about minimizing the first turn advantage:

@Phil: I see that Jagular has a thread about an AT Global Championship. Are there really enough PBEM players to staff up two of these championships? Maybe you and he could talk and come up with just one tournament. At the moment neither one appears to be drawing much support.

This makes sense...maybe you too could come up with the Super Bowl of ATG...
