Revised Tournament of Champions 11 (ToC 11)
-
To All who signed up - please send me your email so that I may launch the tournament. Need your email addresses for pairing emails.
Thanks Deltium

All - a positive update. We are now ABOVE 16 players, and we can definitely launch this tournament. As I would like to include everyone that signed-up, I am planning to have a preliminary round (like in in the NCAA March Madness tournament), where we have a few lesser-known or intermediate players play each other, to narrow the field to 16.
If you have not done so already, please send me your email address, so that I can send a mass email to all of the final participants.
Anticipated start date = late September, as I am on vacation now, but will start this tournament as soon as I return.
Cheers, Deltium

Hello Everyone - as of this moment, we officially have 22 participants. I will send out today an email to everyone that has registered so far. I will accept registration through Friday, September 22nd, and after that, registration will be closed.
On Saturday, September 23rd, the bracket will be officially posted, along with initial pairings, and you may begin immediately thereafter. Given that we have over 16 participants, some of you may be in a qualifying bracket.
As stated previously, either PBEM (play by email) or PBF (play by forum) is allowed. If you have any further questions, please feel free to write to me directly at 5683deltium@gmail.com
Cheers, Deltium

Hi - I've had some questions from a few people who haven't played PBEM before. Here's the link to how to play PBEM. First step is to just register for the Marti dice server, and the rest is quite easy!

OK Master Blaster and Comorv, both of you have just managed to register before I posted the brackets -- good timing !!
We are now full. Brackets will be posted in one hour!

OK the ToC 11 bracket is officially posted !! Our dedicated link is below:
As you can see in the bracket, we have a total of 24 participants, indicating that we need to have a qualifying round for 16 participants, before we can start the 2nd round.
I'm familiar with about half of you, in terms of your strength, and I did my best to seed everyone appropriately. For some of you that I did not know, I opted to put you into the qualifying section, so please don't take any offense.
You may begin immediately. The bracket will be updated as I receive results. In keeping with tradition, please post your results here with some detailed commentary of the game (because it is enjoyable to read), and please also send me an email at 5683deltium@gmail.com so that I may update the bracket immediately online.
OK, I hope that each of you have fun !! As a reminder,
1st prize = USD 100
2nd prize = USD 50Warm Regards, Deltium

Hi, very sorry but we started the tournament already. The registration deadline was Friday (see above posts). However, I will keep you in mind for ToC 12. Thanks for your interest !
Cheers, Delitum

OK, a couple of results have been posted.
- Abeldbest defeats AFatCat (please post a brief game summary here), and
- Tulkas defeats Rtoolooze (Buddy), and here is the game summary sent to me:
Tulkas (axis +10) over Buddy in R4. Axis had good dice in Round 1 and beyond putting allies in a defensive position and enabling Russia to fall in R3. From there the battle moved to attacking UK from Germany and US from Pacific.
-
A few more results have posted, but I encourage everyone to post here on their own, along with some game commentary please.
- Hammond defeats NoOne Dares
- Tulkas defeats LeeMorrison
Bracket is updated real-time as I receive results.

Hammond axis def. NOD allies
Axis got the bid at 11 and although Germany got off to a good start, its buddy Japan was fighting for its survival in the early rounds as UK, Russia, and USA (planes) made for some delicate Japan play that could have very easily been Japan's downfall. This did create some light for Germany and it rolled towards Russia and took Caucaus, but could go no further as USA and UK put the brakes on any more territorial gains. However, after Japan escaped from immediate danger, it finally began its march towards Moscow. Cut-off, Russia had to endure a double hit just in the knick of time as UK and USA were about to make Germany and English speaking country. GG NOD

MB lost once again in round 1 of our ToC versus odor...poor mb

Deltium (Allies) defeats Cdnadjustment. Axis get some tough dice early, which created a material IPC swing, which was hard to recover from. Axis captured and held Karelia early, only to pull back to Berlin as the KGF took hold. Japan advanced methodically to Moscow, but the Allied economic advantage was too high for the Axis to capture, and Berlin soon fell, sealing the Axis fate.
Thanks Cdnadjustment for a good game, and hope you to play you again sometime, perhaps in v3 where you're clearly more experienced!
Cheers, Deltium
