Beat the Odds! [TPA2] (rescued)

Postby gameplayer on Mon Oct 24, 2011 6:15 pm

This tournament has been rescued. New thread: viewtopic.php?f=91&t=173260&start=0

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.

Beat the Odds!
Many sequential 2 player tournaments are frustrating because a series can be decided by who goes first in the most games, not by which player is the most skilled. Beat the Odds attempts to remedy this by rewarding players who go 2nd and still manage to win.

Signups
All are welcome to join, freemiums keep in mind you'll need to dedicate 3 spots to this tournament for the entire duration, turnaround should be pretty quick though since it's only 2 player games. Signups will last for two weeks, then I will start no matter how many players have signed up. Expect your first games to come sometime around Wednesday, November 9.

If you want to play a game where luck isn't a factor, go play chess.

I will play.....so basically you lose the first round your out? Its single elimination with the possibility down the road to have more lives.
Dice stats are irrelevant. If I roll the same amount of 6's as everyone else, but my opponents role 6's at the same time, that's what matters, what's rolled opposite my dice. How about how many total guys I've won and lost while attacking?

exactly. I don't want the tournament to take forever, but at the same time reward those who've played well in the first few rounds by giving them a second chance.

Not sure I like this format, as it really only rewards the person going second. After all, the dice can be absolutely terrible, as we all know. But that is just my opinion.
