***Everybody who are ready to give constantly 3 spots to this tournament are welcome***


Jungle has reached CC! Unless it has always been here but hidden, waiting its time to come out. Anyway, now it's here, Lions are sleeping and Hippo along with Dog are inviting everybody to become the next Leader of Jungle. Are you clever enough? Do you have enough stamina to hold on weeks, even months? Are you strong enough to fight yourself from battle to battle until all opponents have dropped out and there's only you standing? Come! PROVE IT!

Setup of this tournament will be very similar to Snowy Rock Races but with some improvements to make it stronger and more reasonable. Make sure that you read through everything and use the form to sign up.


Setup

Overall I'm looking for at least 15 Triples teams.
Approximately once per week (depends how fast you'll be playing) a bunch of games will made. Not a random number of games but a formula will be used (number of teams * 3 / 2). That way everybody will play 3 games (on some weeks some players play a game or two less) and win/lose points according to the scoring below. If your score reaches zero (or goes below it) then you are not worthy to be next Leader of Jungle and drop out of the tournament.

Winning the tournament

There are 2 winning conditions:
1. One team collects 50% of all available points.
2. If condition one does not occur after 40 Rounds, all remaining teams will play double elimination playoff. If odd numbers, team with most points will get a first round bye.

Settings

Standard, Sequential, Casual, Automatic, Triples
Map: different in each battle (check the map pool below)
Cards: Escalating
Fortifications: Chained
Weather: Foggy

Scoring

Everybody starts with 10 points.
Points disappear or move from one player to another.
Losing a game (Rounds 1-10): 3 points from loser to winner
Losing a game (Rounds 12-20): 5 points from loser to winner
Losing a game (week 21-25): 7 points from loser to winner
Losing a game (Rounds 26-30): 10 points from lower to winner
Losing a game (Rounds 31-35): 15 points from loser to winner
Losing a game (Rounds 36-40): 20 points from loser to winner
etc
Not joining after 1st message: -1 point
Not joining after a reminder: -2 points
Not joining after 2nd reminder: -3 points
Joining more than 3 games: -2 points per opponent (wins don't count, each opponent receives 2 points)

Map Pool

Scoring & Setup

info about scoring and setup

1. +5 points for a win, -5 for a loss, no penalties
2. As we are so far with the tournament then I will add a penalty for replacing players - every replacements costs your team 2 points. All replacements made before round 9 can be made without losing points
3. As there's 4 teams left then in each round everybody will play every other team once
4. Maps are still decided by http://www.random.org
5. If winner hasn't decided after round 15 is finished then a playoff competition will be used to determine winners of the tournament.

I'll be rescuing this tournament and finishing it. Hopefully it won't cause any problems as I'm one of the 4 remaining teams. After I get privileges from Lindax, I'll take a look at how far we are. if I remember correctly then round 8 should be done so I can collect those points. We'll make a fast roll call, let people make replacements when needed and then we'll keep playing round 9.

I was thinking that we'll play until round 15 (including) and if we still don't have a winner after that then we'll figure out a way how to determine winner team? Play a bunch of games and winner of most games wins? We need to see it, depends how many teams we'll be having left.

Finals bracket:

[amazzony]

I haven't received privileges yet (Lx is busy, he'll get to it as soon as possible) but I've set up 2nd post to give us a short overview where we stand right now. It seems that all 4 teams have active captains who have received a message from me to check their team and confirm their wish to keep participating in the tournament with the rules posted. If anybody wants to make replacements then now is the time to do it by posting the names of replaced and new player to this topic.

Edit. Not long after finishing this message I got privileges Nevertheless, I won't start next round before I've got confirmation from all team captains that they want to continue and won't make any changes (or post replacement player's name).

[lordnex]

All sounds great, ZZ, nice work!

Penguins are ready to kick some ass in the jungle!

[WPBRJ]

ya we can go also but kraphtone is on a leave so please replace him with pearljamrox2

so are team will be

wpbrj
smasher_123
pearljamrox2

[amazzony]

Hippos are also in, just in case saying WPBRJ, I've made changes to your team and I've also sent a message to elephants' captain. If I don't get an answer in the next couple of days then we'll continue with 3 remaining teams

[GROND 2cd.]

I_refuse will replace andreas1977 and we will kick some buds before the end! And yes - we are still in !!

[amazzony]

Glad to see all teams continuing I'll set up first games later today when I get home from work.

[amazzony]

First games by me have been sent out (round 9). Maps are drawn randomly with the help of list randomiser of www.random.org but games are made according to schedule where everybody plays everybody once in a round.

Please don't miss your invites

[amazzony]

All round 9 games started with first attempt, thanks!

[amazzony]

Round 9
1 game out of 6 has finished. I'll be updating scoreboard when all games are done.

[amazzony]

Round 9 results
Hippo +5
Penguin -5
Parrot +5
Elephant -5

Round 10
All 4 teams are still alive with no threat to be eliminated this round. Invites will be sent out shortly.

[amazzony]

Round 9 results
I messed up teams (mixed Elephant and Parrot), therefore scoring is a bit different. Thanks to GROND 2cd. for noticing it!
Hippo +5
Penguin -5
Elephant +5
Parrot -5
Therefore, overall score after round 9 is also different which puts Parrot in danger of being eliminated in round 10:
1. Hippo -> 45
2. Elephant -> 26
3. Penguin -> 17
4. Parrot -> 8

Round 10
All 6 games are active and fortunately games are set up correctly but the team names are a bit off here and there (Parrot and Elephant mixed up).

[amazzony]

Round 10 results
Hippo +5
Penguin -5
Elephant +5
Parrot -5
Overall score after round 10 is:
1. Hippo -> 50
2. Elephant -> 31
3. Penguin -> 12
4. Parrot -> 3

Round 11
I've created games and invites will be sent out shortly. Penguin and Parrot are in danger of being eliminated this round.

[amazzony]

Round 11
All 6 games have started nicely and are currently either in round 2 or 3.

[amazzony]

Round 11 results
Hippo +5
Penguin +5
Elephant +5
Parrot -15
Overall score after round 11 is:
1. Hippo -> 55
2. Elephant -> 36
3. Penguin -> 17
4. Parrot -> -12 [eliminated!]

Round 12
I really didn't think through what would happen if one team gets eliminated because 3 teams round robin just can't be played with everybody playing 3 games per round. Therefore, I've come up with a solution which I find the fairest from all options. Instead of 3 games per round, all teams play 4 games. And, instead of +/-5 points per game, 4 points move from one team to another. That way overall points somebody can earn/lose per round is 16 (it was 15) and everybody plays the same amount of games. I hope it works out for everybody.

Parrot (WPBRJ, Smasher_123, pearljamrox2) team has been eliminated, 3 teams remaining in the competition, setup changed a bit.

Next games will be created and sent out shortly.

[amazzony]

Round 12
All 6 games have started, next update when they are all done.

[amazzony]

Round 12 results
Hippo 0

Overall score after round 12 is:
1. Hippo -> 55
2. Elephant -> 40
