Signups will be open until
8/6/11, 12:00am Pacific (7:00am UTC).
Here are the details:
-Contrary to last time, this tournament will be a
Swiss-style tournament, based purely on Wins/Losses/Draws and everybody playing the same # of games. Scoring will be based on your victories, instead of # of points scored in the game.
-The # of rounds will be determined based on the # of total entries.
-Opponents for the first round will be seeded randomly.
-Each round will consist of a
best out of 3 series, and players will receive points based on Wins (3 points), Losses (0 points) and Draws (1 point). Additionally, the players will recieve the same points based on their performance in the round (if kryptikjoker beats AstroLad 2-0, then kryptikjoker gains 3 points for his performance in the match and has a total of 9 points (2 wins + match win))
-In subsequent rounds, you will be paired with an opponent that received the same or similar score as you.
-After all the rounds have been completed, the player with the highest score is the winner!
Let me know what you folks think about this format, I think it allows more games to be played as well as people with similar skill to play against each other.
