Here, you will be playing in a simple, bracket style tourny where you will play on all the maps that I hate each round
Each round, you will play one game on the following maps: Arms Race! Battle For Iraq! Circus Maximus Clandemonium Cricket D-Day: Omaha Beach! Das Schloss Draknor - Level 1 Eastern Hemisphere First Nations Americas Forbidden City Halloween Hollows Hive King's Court Lunar War New World Operation Drug War Poison Rome Rail Africa Rail Australia Rail Europe Rail USA Stalingrad WWII Ardennes WWII Australia WWII Eastern Front WWII Europe WWII Gazala WWII Iwo Jima WWII Poland WWII Western Front
All 31 games will be played on my least favorite setting combination: Manual, Sequential, Nuclear, Adjacent, Foggy
The final round will be three games of each map, meaning a 93 game series if you make it to the finals. All games will be played at once for every round
(Note: I will only use reserves if a player drops out of round 1, all other 'deadbeats' will cause their opponents to automatically move on to the next round)

Since it is manual, the player dropping last actually gets the advantage, unless I am mistaken.. I don't play casual freestyle or manual (since I hate those settings haha) so I am not too sure how it goes, or how to specify rules to make it fair.. shoop can you shed some light on the subject for me?
I'm interested, but I have a few questions: How many games will be played at once? All @ once or in sets? With freestyle the player joining last starts, so you'll have to invite first one player for half the games and the other for the half then, when they joined vice versa, but that'd make it a bit unfair since in some (quite some of those) maps starting is very important and in others not so much. With freestyle it means that you have to be online every 12 hours and a player can make it very hard for someone not to miss his turn. Manual makes starting and dice even more important and is plain stupid on some of those maps. My opinion in short: Make it Auto and seq and I'm in.
Edit: reaction to your questions: The player dropping first, so starting with attacking has the advantage, meaning the player who joined last has the advantage.

Player going first gets to drop, then other player drops. Then player who drops first has 12 hours to take his turn, so he would go first. The manual is fine with me but the freestyle part makes it difficult for me. Certain players will not join first and going first in free, man is a huge advantage.

Honestly, if I wasn't going away in a week, and then again 3 days after that, and again 3 weeks later, I might have played in this just for the hell of it
Once vacations settle down maybe I will run another one similar to this one and next time I will play in it!
