All 7 divisions have now finished 14 games.

Selection of Divisions for Stage III (Last 7 Games)

This Saturday, on August 27 (8/27/2011) at 11:00 A.M. North American Central Time, all players may begin posting their list of preferred divisions on the tournament page.

Here's the Countdown:
http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/cus ... =00&p0=406

If you can, create a list right now (it takes only a minute), ranking the divisions in the order in which you'd like to play on them.

Here's an example:

1. Germany (most preferred)
2. Soviet Union
3. Doodle Earth
4. World 2.1
5. Madagascar
6. San Francisco
7. WWII Poland (least preferred)

Doesn't have to be this formal; just have some clear indication or list, ranking the divisions from most preferred to play on to least preferred. The first division you write will be the one I will put you in, unless it is full, then I will put you in the second division you wrote down, unless it is full, then I will put you in the third division you wrote down, etc.

It's that simple. You may pick ANY division, even the one you just played on or one you have already played on.

If you can get to a computer at this established time, you have the highest chance of getting into the division you'd like. I've tried to make this time the most convenient for all time zones.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post the list ON THIS TOURNAMENT PAGE! DO NOT SEND IT TO ME IN A PRIVATE MESSAGE AS THIS WILL CLOG MY INBOX!

If you have any questions about this, let me know. By the way, here's the official process as described in the rules:

• Following the conclusion of the last game of this Stage, and all divisions have finished Stage II play, the tournament organizer shall post a message on the tournament page, stating the date and time when the Selection of Divisions I and II shall take place. It is likely that the Selection will take place on a Saturday.
  
  At this point, the organizer highly suggests players should think of the order of divisions they would like, listing them in order of preference (even if they want to remain in the same division). The first division they write is the division they would most prefer to play in; the division they write last would be the division they would least prefer to play in.
  
  
• Once the approved time for the beginning of the Selection of Divisions arrives, the organizer shall send a private message to all players simultaneously, providing them with a link to the tournament page, where players will directly post their list of preferred divisions that they had already formulated. The organizer will not accept any lists via a private message. The lists must be made public on the tournament page.
  
  
• The tournament organizer will not select a division, as to eliminate the advantage he has. He will instead take the divisional slot that is open after all other 55 players join a division.
  
  
• The tournament organizer will then begin with the first player that posted their list on the tournament page, and place them into the first division name that they wrote down. The organizer will then move to the second player that posted their list on the tournament page, and then the third player, etc.
  
  
• If, at any time, a player's first division name that they wrote down in their list is full, the tournament organizer will place them into the division name that they wrote second. If that division is full, the organizer will place them into the name of the division that they wrote third, etc.
  
  
• If a player fails to post a list (much to the disliking of the organizer) and instead just writes one division, the organizer will accept the post and place that player into the division they wrote down; however, if the name of the division that the player wrote down is full, then the organizer will respond via a private message, asking for their list of preferred divisions, thus delaying the time for the player to join a division.

Hi deanof7,

You posted early, before the established time. That message I sent earlier served only as a reminder, telling everyone exactly when the time is to begin posting, which is in about 2 hours (12 Noon Eastern Standard North American Time)!

If you can post again at 12 Noon Eastern Standard North American Time (or after), then it will be official.
