This is a Tournament Players Association Year 2(TPA2) event, and is governed by its rules, guidelines, and judgments. All are welcome to join and participate in the association. You need do nothing more than join one or more of the TPA2 events that will be announced each Monday. Check back on the TPA2 scoreboard in the Tournaments--> General Info forum to see how you're doing.

As a high-level operative of the Guojia Anquan Bu, or Chinese (Communist) Secret Police, you have set out to terminate as many enemies of the Chinese state as possible.

Eligibility: To join this tournament, you must have Premium membership. Pursuant to TPA rules, there are no other entry restrictions.

Game Load: You will play five games simultaneously in each phase, except for the very last phase, which will be seven games. You will have at least 48 hours to accept each game (two invites.) If you fail to accept two consecutive invites, you may be arbitrarily cut. I reserve the right to evaluate reasonable excuses.

Settings in ALL games: 7-player, Automatic, Sequential, Escalating, Chained, Casual, Terminator.
Odd-numbered phases will be Sunny and even-numbered phases will be Foggy.

Maps: see list of phases in Post 2.

This tournament is intended for at least 70 players. However, I am leaving it unlimited. Any multiple of 7 can be accomodated. If there are a lot more sign-ups it can easily be expanded. If there are fewer than 70 sign-ups (and I hope this is purely hypothetical) it can still be made to work by cutting some rounds.

Scoring:
1 point per kill.
3 points per win.
2 bonus points for a little sweep (killing at least 3 opponents on the same turn.)
3 additional bonus points for a perfect sweep (killing all 6 opponents on the same turn.)
All the above are cumulative, so a perfect sweep results in a final score of 14 (6 for six kills, 3 for the win, 2 for the little sweep and 3 more for completing the sweep.)

Scores are cumulative from phase to phase. After every phase, at least 7 players will be cut, based on the lowest cumulative score. If the tournament begins with more than 70 players, there will be more than seven cut in the earlier phases.
