January 2021 Monthly Challenge Blind Companion Tournament: Bronze #2

Mods can join! (except Caymanmew and groovysmurf)

Hello people,

This is a blind companion tournament for the January Monthly Challenge. That means you will be signing up without knowledge of the map. This tournament will be played on the map and settings needed to receive the bronze token.

We are looking for 16 players to play 15 games over the month of January. Three games will be sent once per week.

Rules
Each player will play each other player once. Whomever has the best record over 15 games, wins. In the event of a tie, tiebreaker game(s) on the same map and settings will be sent until players are no longer tied. For example, if two people tie, one game will be made and the winner will also win the tournament. If three people tie, three games will be made (A vs B; B vs C; A vs C) and the winner of two games will win the tournament. If four people tie, six games will be made (A vs B; A vs C; A vs D; B vs C; B vs D; C vs D) and hopefully just one person wins all three of their games and we can end this craziness!
If five or more people tie, I'll just quit the site and let someone else deal.
Tiebreaker games will not be played in January and therefore will not count towards the January Challenge scoreboard.

If you quit the tournament you are not eligible to get a medal for the January Monthly Challenge!

Signups end December 30th

Multiple iterations of the tournament will be run if filled. Keep signing up until the deadline!

Something unusual happened.
Yesterday, I've seen a new pack of games and told: "later". Later I forgot.
Today, I logged in and have seen them again ("They weren't expired", I told to to myself.). But gefore I pressed ACCEPT ALL, they disappeared. However, SOME games showed up: 20653190 and 20653208 from this tourney and 20653139 from the Gold tournament. So three games are missing from my list.

I have no right to demand the reissuing of invite, especially not to rush it - but there is a danger they'll not start until the end of the month. I probably deserve that, but my opponents don't. My apologies to everyone involved...

I'll copy this text to Gold tournament thread

All your invites were accepted. Not sure what happened, but you're good. One of your opponents has yet to accept, so one game should still be in your Waiting Games.
