We'll start in a couple of days, as the other tournament is just about over now. Would be nice if we could get at least 20 entrants like last time.

What's the format like? Is it just one-on-one, or pool play or something else?

Oh wait...

15 in thus far.

I'm probably going to close signups in about 36 hours.

Final bumpage.

I plan on posting matchups tomorrow morning.

Signup closed.

Randomly allocating groups:

Group A
CPFB
DWetzel
ibavly
Willi

Group B
Evene
Noah
Priptonite
Willd

Group C
chuckles
eyebooger
Happyfish
zomg

Group D
bobman
Felix
jedi
wheatrich

You'll each end up playing 9 games in your group and 8 games out of group.

First set of games:
CFPB vs. Evene and Noah
DWetzel vs. Evene and Noah
ibavly vs. Priptonite and Willd
Willi vs. Priptonite and Willd
chuckles vs. bobman and Felix
eyebooger vs. bobman and Felix
Happyfish vs. jedi and wheatrich
zomg vs. jedi and wheatrich

You should see your name against 2 opponents. Play each of these people twice.

I guess the default can be point counter and veto because I think that's friendliest to the newer players.

Deadline for first two opponents is Tuesday night.

Good luck everyone!

A couple of questions:

a game is what? a set of 3? one game?

how do we handle draws? are they replayed or do they stay as draws?

how are the final standings and tournament advancement handled? what about tiebreakers?

I'm fine with whatever, but I figured it would be best to try and nail the structure of the tournament down before there's a potential conflict.

Good luck everyone!

As far as my games, you'll probably catch me late evening (10 PM Central or later). I may be around a little bit during the day tomorrow, but I'll try to check the thread and my PMs to see if we can get our games scheduled.

Noted -- look for me on around that time (but not much later).

Clarifications:

A game is one single game.

If it's a draw, then it's a draw.

Division winners advance. Next two best records in each "conference" (A/B and C/D) also advance. Seeding is based on total points (3 for a win, 1 for a draw).

Tiebreakers will be head to head record. If still tied, then coinflip (if it's just for seeding) or best of 3 playoff.

Top 8 will be contested under AFL finals system style because it looks fun to me. Best of 5 games for all rounds.

Hopefully this clears up everything.

Stoked to get started on this, but I'm out of town for the next couple days. I'll be back on Friday and should be able to play any time this weekend.

Allright, I'll be in the Secret Chamber awaiting my opponents. My initial status will be "Dominion Tournament - Group D" hopefully it'll be easier to find me.

Oh, and are we just supposed to report scores in this thread?
