OK - just added user LeeMorrison as an additional participant, and we now have 16 solid players. I will give additional time for people to sign-up during the holidays, as I don't suggest starting a tournament over the holiday season, as people will be naturally distracted, and it would be unfair to ask people to play at a tournament pace during such a period. Therefore, I'll aim to launch this baby in early January for sure.
In the interim, please ask additional people to join, and continue practicing against opponents in the Lobby, and prepare your best moves in the laboratory !
Cheers, Deltium

I am looking forward to this contest.

My suggestion is that could be a game as Axis and a game as Allies, if results are even, then a free bid game to resolve final (It maybe will take longer TOC time but could be more balance and fair), It's just a suggestion!

Hi Raville, not a bad idea, but an easier (and very fun) way for me to implement this concept would be to create a double-elimination bracket, where you have to lose twice in order to be eliminated. Not sure if you have seen one of these before, but they are really fun! Effectively, you keep advancing in the winners bracket until you lose, and then you drop down to the corresponding spot in the losers bracket. Each person continues playing until they lose TWICE, so in every case, the winner of the losers bracket, plays the winner of the winners bracket, BUT again, you have to lose TWICE in order to be eliminated, so in that final round the winner of the Losers bracket has to beat the winner of the Winners bracket TWICE in a row to be champion ! I have seen it before, and it is a real shocker! I also like this variation because people still get to bid to play the Axis or Allies (versus being forced to play each side), so in theory, the bids always make it fair between two players, and their specific preferences. The amount bid (and bid placement ) in my opinion is a very interesting wrinkle in the game, as it demonstrates a player's ability to judge necessary units and the placement therein.

@deltium ya its what we had discussed similar to the old ladder rules
2 games each at 13
then if needed a bid off -
Also, just received an email from Wasp, who has decided to play too. As we are over 16 now, we'll have a preliminary round.
There are also a few strong players from AAMC / Daak that have joined, namely LeeMorrison, Wasp, and Icelander. Along with the others in the tournament, these guys should make the tournament interesting!

@prastle 32 might be possible

@deltium Best way to run a tourney.
