Poly Classic Single Elimination (FULL)
Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2025 1:18 pmPoly Classic Single Elimination
This is a no-frills polymorphic tournament that will take place on only the Classic map.
Number of Players: 16.
Game Type: Polymorphic 2,3,and 4 slot games.
Settings: Automatic, Sequential, No Spoils, Chained, 20-turn round limit. No Fog, No Trench.
Important
Community Seeding. Once we have the participants, we will have a college sports style poll to determine the seeds. Submitting a ranking is not mandatory, just an added bit of flavor. You can rank players based on any criteria you want; there's no real objective way to do it. Personally, I'll probably look at the last 30 or so poly results for each player for my submission. I'll accept submissions for 5 days after we have a player field, and will average out the results to determine seeding. You may publicly post your ranking or PM me.
Format: Single Elimination
Round 1: Best of 5: 2 Poly 2's, 2 Poly 3's, 1 Poly 4.
Quarterfinals: Best of 7: 2 Poly 2's, 3 Poly 3's, 2 Poly 4's.
Semifinals: Best of 9: 3 Poly 2's, 4 Poly 3's, 2 Poly 4's.
Finals: Best of 11: 4 Poly 2's, 4 Poly 3's, 3 Poly 4's.
Round 1 and Quarterfinals will be sent in a single batch.
The Semifinals and Finals will be sent in 2 batches, roughly 5 days apart.
Reward: fun, pride, bragging rights, and a Trophy. No cash prize this time. I find offering a prize doesn't increase player turnout.
General Information and Tournament Rules:
I reserve the right to declare a winner of the series before they are 100% completed in the interest of keeping the tournament moving. In that vein, the tournament will move forward asymmetrically. What I mean is Round 2 could start at different times for different players, depending on how quickly the matches resolve.
The way I determine a winner of a game early is I look for a 2-to-1 power score plus a reinforcement advantage.
I will kick players out of the tourney for dead beating, over-the-top stalling, or abusive chat. If possible and if it makes sense we will substitute reserves for players unable to continue.
If you need to postpone a particular round for whatever reason just let me know and we will do our best to accommodate.
