Qwertylpc's "Hey You Went First!" [CANCELED]

So, I was in a tournament, minding my business and doing the usual (kicking ass 8-) and complaining :x ).

There were big stakes, a year of premium from BigBallinStallin =D> .

As I reached the finals =D> , it was a best of 5 series on the prior settings, but with my luck I happened to go last in all of the first 3 games. I was pissed :evil: .

So, I decided to run this tournament...



It will be the exact same settings as the tournament I was in, Gratuitous Transfer of Wealth (Unfortunately without the premium prize :cry: , unless someone wants to sponsor it :mrgreen: ), just the only way to advance is to win while going second.. So 1 round could go on indefinately, if the player who goes first always wins. (If it goes past 15 games, the winner will be whoever had less opportunities to win (meaning the guy who went first more)

Dukasaur wrote:Basic tournament specs: 32-player 1v1 single-elimination tournament, with one game per round except for the finals which will be best-of-five. Freemiums must keep 1 slot open at all times in order to stay in the tournament; failing to do so once the tournament has begun will constitute a forfeit. The best-of-five final can be played one game at a time, although I will send more games if you can open more slots.

All games will be Automatic deployment, Sequential play, 24-hour rounds, with a 30-round limit. Other settings will vary, as described in the phase spoilers below:

show: Phase One - Introduction

show: phase two - plunder

show: phase three - trade

show: phase four - gratuity

show: final phase


show: Players

I'm honoured, and I'll be happy to play in this!

:D

However, you need to tie up some loose ends. Obviously can't be one game per round, so you'll have to specify how you determine the end of the round.... will they just play indefinitely until someone wins, or will you call it after a certain number of games? Etc.

This is an issue. Tournaments have to be designed to finish within a year. So, can you put in some kind of mechanism to end a round if this continues indefinitely?
