Voted 2011's "Best Mid-Sized Tournament"

History of the World Cup of Risk
show: History of the Cup

Greetings fellow Conquer-Club'ers. Today, you've encountered a revolutionary opportunity to embark on the glorious endeavor in search of the World Cup!

All 175 of our warriors shall embark with energy and zest at the "lowly" local level, but only a handful from each division shall pass the strenuous tests of 1v1 play.

Endure the tooth-and-nail combat at the regional and continent level in 4-5 player Standard games, before emerging victorious and prepared for the World Cup final!

Only then will you have the power to meet with foes qualifying from around the world, on a global scale truly worthy of the motto of the game we so enjoy. Only then can you vanquish all competition in the traditional 6-player Classic final and claim the Cup!

Welcome to the 2012 World Cup of Risk!


Please first see if you meet these requirements to play:
This tournament is expected to run from late June to mid-December.

"Screamer":

  • If you are NOT a premium member, by signing up you guarantee that once the tournament begins, you keep 1 of your 4 game slots open for tournament games, until you are eliminated!



It really couldn't be any easier; just understand this ONE visual and you'll barely need to read anything else!

The Official Rules of the 2012 World Cup of Risk
Random.org will be used when randomness is needed.
The tournament organiser has the final say on all issues connected to tournament and gameplay.


show: Tournament Settings


There are 175 players. All 175 players select one division of their choice when signing up. Players are placed into divisions on a first-come-first serve basis. In other words, the player to first signup will be placed in that division first. There are five players in each division.

Tournament play begins with Division play.

Division Play

In Divisional Play, players play games with the appropriate tournament settings, on the map corresponding to the name of the division (for instance: the NYC division plays games on the NYC map).

show: Format of Round-Robin


Players are ranked in the standings according to the number of wins they have.
Based on the division, either the player with the most wins or the two players with the most wins will advance. See the above "Visual Representation of Tournament Structure" to determine how many players advance from your division.

Third-Placed Players: Wildcard Games
show: Wildcard Games


show: Tie-Breaker Policy


Conference Play

First, determine which division you have selected, and whether advancing from this division will lead to conference play. If not (and advancing leads you directly to the League Final), then don't bother reading this section! In your case then, only the first-placed player will advance, but he has then the advantage of advancing directly to the League Final 8-[

Policies for Players Failing to Join Games

The organiser has full judgment in each case of a player not joining games.

Each player is guaranteed a minimum of three invites to each game. The organiser may choose to send additional invites to a player, at his discretion. The organiser shall begin sending messages to a player that has not yet joined a game after receiving two invites. If the player does not join his game after three invites (or, otherwise, after a number of invites as decided by the organiser), then further action is taken:

show: For Division Play


show: For Conference Play


show: For League Finals


show: For World Cup Qualifiers


show: For the World Cup Final

If a player, in the organizer's opinion, intentionally fails to join, or by the Rules of Conquer Club, "throws" a Division game due to the player's knowledge or belief that he cannot advance from his division, this player will be banned from future tournaments due to unsportsmanlike behavior.

In any of the above instances, the organizer holds full judgment.

---

That does it for the Rules!
Thanks for taking the time to check out the 2012 World Cup of Risk. I hope you'll consider taking part in this truly global, "worldy" competition. Just post the division you would like to play in and I'll add you to the list of players!

Special thanks to gummiente, who has helped me a lot in setting up the tournament, particularly with the Rules video and the standings boards.

Thank you,
James

Standings are double-checked using the Tournament Stats community tool. If you believe there is an error, please contact WorldCup4James. This will be a sign of superior sportsmanship, and he will be very pleased. :D

  • Players marked in blue have advanced from their division.

  • Players bolded in black are playing, or played but lost, in a 1v1 Wildcard game.
