Conquer Club

Welcome to my 26th tournament! Out of laziness, I haven't made a tourney in a long time, but I'm feeling good about this format. I'll be accepting 30 players, and I'm only going to take premium players. I'm going to admit this now, this is a bit of a ripoff of Icepack's Icey League tournament. All games will be 1v1 on the Random Map. Here's how its all going to go down:

30 Round Limit

30 players will sign up, and will be placed into tiers based on their ranks. There are 6 tiers, and 5 people in each tier.
During each round, everyone in one tier will play each other in a round robin. The top 2 players from each tier shall advance up a tier while the bottom 2 players shall drop down a tier. This will continue for a while, until eventually entire tiers will be eliminated from the tournament. In the final round, only The 6th Tier will remain, and those 5 players will play the final round robin to determine the winner of the tournament.

Exact Process of Tier Elimination:

Spoiler

Tiers will be eliminated after the following rounds:
3,6,8,10,12.

So, Round 13 will be the final round if you can make it that far. In Round 13, the finals, you'll face each of your opponents 3 times (12 games total)

Ties in round robins to determine who advances or declines will be determined based on Head-to-Head record. If no clear winner can be declared based on this, a play-in game will need to be played. Sometimes these play-in games will have more than one player.

(7/29) Edit: After every round, at least one tier has a 3-way tie. Personally, I despise 3 player games, and they are also dramatically slowing down the tournament. So, from now on 3 and 4-way ties that can't be decided by Head-to-Head record will be decided by which player took the smallest amount of rounds to win their games against the players they are tied with. If that doesn't work, then its back to the dreaded 3 player games.

Updated up to here! We've got a solid group so far this is going to be a fun one.

If it was fog, it'd be my favourite settings
But I'm in nonetheless

However, can I ask you if you could please perhaps extend to 30 rd limits instead of 20? I've lost 2 games when I was still in it, but the other guy ended second so he was able to pull it out. Admittedly it was ns, so perhaps nukes could stretch it out a bit, but I don't think adding another 10 rounds to the limit shouldn't make much diff. and it'll just give a slightly more even chance of finishing the game suitably?

Score = 2881 btw

sign me up please!
