[Gilligan]

Craaaaaaaaap I forgot to sign up for pirates

I'll go with Samurai

[anamainiacks]

Due to the low rate of signups, I've decided to trim the players needed down from 64 to 40 instead. Here's hoping we can still fill up this number!

Of course, with changes in the number of players, comes changes in the setup. So just to update everyone, here are the changes:

• 8 factions have been cut down to 5.
  
  • Viet Kong had no signups;
  • Spartans had 1 signup - Karats - who has shifted to the Samurai;
  • Vikings also had 1 signup - crazycolin - who has shifted to the Terracotta Warriors.
• In Phase I, instead of 2 games against each of 7 other factions, there will now be 4 games against each of the other 4 factions.
• The change still keeps the total matchups at approximately the same number (14 before, 16 now).

The changes only affect Phase I of the tournament.

If we still can't hit 40 players by 7 May, further changes will be made to the format. Hopefully this won't happen. Either way, players will be PMed to make sure they are aware of the changes.

Thanks so much for the offer! But the Roman faction is still open even after you taken a spot, so that's perfectly fine (: And I need players more than reserves at this point, of course .

Knights is now full. Open factions are - Romans, Samurai, Terracotta.

Update

And we're off! First batch of games have been sent out. Hopefully we won't be needing any replacements... Link to scoreboard has been added!

Also, for transparency's sake, placing for TPA4 scoring purposes will be decided as such:

• 1st - 8th: Winning faction, ordered by Phase II scores.
• 9th - 40th: Remaining 4 factions, ordered by Phase I scores regardless of faction score.
• The tiebreaker rules will be applied where relevant. Phase I tiebreaker will have the additional last determining factor: higher faction score.
• If the tiebreaker rules cannot break the tie, players will be listed with tied placings.

Game 14383976 - Is this the first flag to be captured?
Also, question: if a player loses on Classic, then wins on their home map, does the matchup go back to Classic or does it end without a capture?

Game 14383976 - Is this the first flag to be captured?

Nope, Dukasaur beat you to it Game 14377930. Yours is the 3rd!

Also, question: if a player loses on Classic, then wins on their home map, does the matchup go back to Classic or does it end without a capture?

Thanks for the question - it ends without a capture. Going back and forth would take forever!
