Massive Doodle Earth Tournament

Splash_x · Post by **Splash_x** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 9:16 am

I was thinking of a 1024 player tournament featuring just about everyone.

I'll start it 4 groups of 256 each

Each Group (A,B,C,D):
1st round, 256 players, 128 games
2nd round, 128 players, 64 games
3rd round, 64 players, 32 games
4th round, 32 players, 16 games
5th round, 16 players, 8 games
6th round, 8 players, 4 games
7th round, 4 players, 2 games
8th round 2 players, group final game

Altogether:
9th round(semi-finals), 4 group winners, 2 games
10th round(finals), 2 semifinalists, 1 game

Each map should only take max 1 week. Doodle earth is small and easy to win.

First 8 Rounds: Standard, Sequential, Escalating Cards, No fog of war, Unlimited Fortifications

Semifinals: Standard, Sequential, Flat Rate, Fog of war, Chained fortifications

Finals: Standard, Sequential, No cards, Fog of war, Adjacent Fortifications (To make things harder/more strategy & less luck)

So guys? what do you think?

If you can get over 1000 players you are amazing.

Well, that or insanely stupid.........find 1024 players to sign up originally, and only about 800 will show up.

Good luck getting getting even half that. You will need to send invites to everyone in CC, and then the number of deadbeats would be insane.

Wow...it's a great idea in theory, and if it worked, it would be amazing. But, you would/could be setting yourself up for a never-ending headache for the next year and a half.

Just imagine getting 1,000 people to join a tourney, keeping all the games straight, creating the games and paswords, getting reserves, assigning reserves to spots that were abandoned, sending the PM's for every game, etc.

I admire your courage for even thinking about it, but unless you want this as your full time job, walk away while you still can...

unless you would allow people to join each tournament... I.E. its split into 4 groups? after the first group finishes start a signup and anyone can join again

It´s one hell of an idea

I like it. Though as mentioned, it´s a looot and looot of work. Mostly sending out invites. My biggest tournament is looking for 350 people and it is a headache, I can say that. I´ve sent out appr 1000 invites and I´m still missing appr. 100 players. If you have time and you are ready to committ then I would say that go ahead and sign me up
