Start of a new v3 anniversary tourney?

prastle

Well i think we can scrounge em up!

So rules are as follows...

Low Luck, No Tech, allies get a 13 bid ver 3 41 only

PBEM allowed if both agree

Default is live lobby play.

final discussion is 1 game elim or 3 games?

KJF_ftw

If it's 8 players, I think it should be best out of 3 elim but if 16 players 1 should suffice lol

prastle

Ok so how about this

3 game elim if a tie(first 2) they bid for allies

also they must play allies and axis 1 game each at 13 allies bid

KJF_ftw

sounds fair lol

Navalland

I vot3 ll no tech national objectives are on and 13 allies bid

prastle

Ok we scratch up some more.

Rules are ladder rules

Ll No Tech Allies get a 13 bid

3 games if needed bid off on third

we have 3 gents we need 5 or 13 more

slap away

I would be keen to play if we can default to PBEM. I just don't have the time anymore these days (with kids) to play 5 hours straight. To keep the games moving at a fast pace, we could set a rule to make one turn per day. Most games in the ToC series have finished well within 30 days, typically 3-4 weeks max. We could set a hard deadline for arbitration to determine the winner, after say 4 weeks. Just my 2 cents. Cheers, Deltium

prastle

We can put to vote when we have 8. Np Deltium. Not a fan of pbem myself but if I have to I will np. I don't think its fair that some interested peeps should be excluded if they are short on time. Maybe 1 hr matches could be arranged in lobby at times? Just a thought. There is not a strict time frame on this one that has been discussed yet. Im sure they will all be obliging.

prastle

The bracket has been created here. We need 1 or 2 more to start. Or should we wait for 16 players?

I will use the random seed once we have 8 or 16 players

Rules Are as follows (still open for discussion)

V3 41 Low Luck, No Tech, Allies get a 13 bid, No Kamikaze, Total Victory
Each match up requires 2 games minimum with each player playing the axis and the allies.
Should a tie breaker be required then they shall bid for the allies for the third match
Standard ladder rules apply

Raville

@prastle I think tournament need to be gaming both sides: Axis and Allies, so it can be balanced for gamers; also we need to be at least 8 gamers for that, thanks and Greetings.

prastle

@Raville it is

the bid is for third game if a tie after each play allies and axis

Navalland

is bombing germany with 6 bombers really legal? 18 average damage to Germany per round and German average product power would be under 30. It is devastating. Am I right?

Deltium

Hi All - just curious if we can use the usual bidding system to assess whether to play the Axis or Allies? Playing 2, or potentially 3 games with a given opponent may take a long time. All other AA 50 tournaments are single-elimination, and the bidding system ensures that the bid is fair between both players. Just a suggestion, but happy to follow consensus if there is a view otherwise. Cheers, Delitum

prastle

@Deltium I am fine with that as well but I am expecting this tourney to take awhile, no rush. Thus it would be nice to make all players play both sides. I am OK with the consensus either way.

Blasherke

I can only PBEM, but if that's ok you can count me in...

prastle

@Blasherke I have spoken with many of the players and many of them feel that they dislike pbem. My suggestion is pbem is allowed if both players agree but live play in lobby is default. Also I am certain they would be willing to schedule by chat here ( old private messaging ) or email an hr here or an hr there of live play. There is no strict time frame on this tourney. Not a lot of us left that play AA 50.
