Tournament Rules
1) Tournament Format
This is a single-round-elimination tournament.
A round will consist of contestants playing both ends of a 1v1 random game of
multiplayer Austerlitz at Gamespy Arcade.
The winner will be determined by comparing levels of victory for the two games
using the values below:
Decisive/3pts
Tactical/2pts
Marginal/1pts
Draw/0pt
If a tie-breaker is needed, the sum of scenario-points for BOTH games shall
determine the winner.
The victor advances and the vanquished is eliminated.
Games will be random battles of SMMEET definition (for help with game codes,
please see page 80 of the ANGV manual).
The actual numbers will be derived by players each supplying three digits and
the host applying the result in an even/odd manner.
The games should be played one after the other with no more than a ten-minute
break between battles.
If either player is unable to fulfill this requirement, he could be forced to
forfeit at the discretion of his opponent.
There will be NO heckling during setup and NO pausing during the game.
Games should be played on slow unless otherwise mutually agreed by the
contestants.
2) Administration
Players will enter the tournament by submitting an entry request by the entry
deadline (http://www.greatest-battles.com/TEntry.htm).
Tournament results and current pairings, as well as the deadline for completion
of the current round are available at GBRC (http://www.greatest-battles.com/TDraw.htm)
.
The participant who loses the round will report the match results to the
Tournament Judge (http://www.greatest-battles.com/TResults.htm)
prior to the deadline for completion of the round.
3) Scheduling
Deadlines for each round will be posted (http://www.greatest-battles.com/TCal.htm
and
http://www.greatest-battles.com/TDraw.htm).
Entrants should establish contact with their opponents through GBRC's MP forum (http://pub21.ezboard.com/fgreatestbattlesforumfrm16)
as promptly as possible.
Players who are unwilling or unable to make themselves available to their
opponent for play and completion of a round are subject to forfeit and
elimination from the tournament.
In the event both players are unable to find mutually satisfactory time for the
match by the deadline of the round, the first player to have offered a
reasonable opportunity will be deemed the winner.
4) Dispute
Resolution
Disputes between players will be resolved by the Tournament Judge. The
Tournament Judge shall make these rulings in consultation with the Tournament
Committee.
5) Awards
Prizes will be awarded at the conclusion of the tournament when winners are
certified by the Tournament Committee.
6) Caveats
These are the guidelines as we currently know them. The
Tournament Committee retains the right to change these guidelines at any time
and in any manner in which they see fit. In this ability, they will be governed
by their interpretation of the best interests of the Tournament.
