In each round you will play 2 sets of 5 games each for every single you have in the chart. So if you reach the Top 10 in Round 1, you can expect 2 sets of 10 games in Round 2 as you'll have two singles out.
Charting is based on number of wins, with tie-breaks settled by CC Score in Round 1, and in future rounds by how well the single charted in the previous round.
This tournament has a musical theme and will consist entirely of 1v1 games on Random Map.
Premium only please (5 games at a time) with 97% attendance or higher.
All games will be:
1v1, Random Map Automatic Sequential Escalating Chained Sunny
The Scenario
The plan between you and your record company is to release up to 5 singles over the year, as long as they do well!
Format
EDIT: Please see red text for edits to the format to make tie-breaks less common.
For each single you have in each round you will play 2 batches of 5 games against random opponents. You will score points for winning games, and bonus points for getting a high chart position at the end of the round. Everyone will start with 1 single, therefore 2x5 games per round.
There will be 12 rounds, one to represent each month of the year.
Outcome of Results
If your single makes the Top 10, the record company are delighted and will rush out your next single (you can have up to 5 singles).
If your only current single fails to make the Top 40, your brutal record label drops you and youāre out of the tournament!
If a single fails to make the Top 30, your record label decide that they like you as an artist, but feel it was the wrong single, so it will be withdrawn from the shelves and your next single will be released instead. If you run out of singles, the record label feel youāve run your course and you get eliminated.
In Round 1 (January), any ties will be settled by CC Score (see next post). After that, ties will be settled by who performed the best in previous rounds (most recent first).
Summary
Each round escalates, so more sales (points) are on offer as we go through the tournament. Bonuses for charting well will also increase through the tournament.
Monthly Chart Positions 1-10: Large bonus, single stays in the charts and release another single 11-20: Small bonus and single stays in the charts 21-30: Single stays in the charts 31-40: Single is dropped and you release your next single 41-50: Single is dropped and Artist is dropped if they have no other singles in chart
Winning and the End of the Tournament
The winner of the tournament will be the player who has sold the most singles over the course of the year.
Sell over 2 million* records? Youāll be invited to the special āGrand Finaleā tournament to compete for a General Achievement Medal! *This figure may change if the outcome of the tournament is widly different to what's expected.
Signing Up
Hereās your chance to be creative! Please sign up with your band/artist name (this will be your username if you canāt think of anything!) and the titles of 5 singles.
