Aren't you including the first ever D12 pairs tournament from the days before Team Game options, there's 7 points DFA are missing for winning that. ^^ Now that was difficult, where you couldn't reinforce or fortify your team mate and had no fortification links via your team mate either, you had to kill each other to link your own troops, but we still managed to beat Generals!!
We had to be manually placed in alternate playing positions.
We had to ask for the game to be ended once all opponents were killed and points and Stats had to be manually allocated.

Q: How will this table work, we were not in the first pairs tournament on World Classic?

BTW we are in round 2 on NZ.

i thought of adding the first pairs tournament but couldnt find all the games and opposition teams. I would add other teams points if someone did the research.

Interesting how you played pairs back in the day, reminds me of what we use to do for RISK 2. Back since 1999, I had been playing team games and ran a team game ladder. I'm pretty sure the concept was birthed there, well at least for online. Then when risk variants like conquer club started, you could play them there. Everything was manually set up, from choosing territories, placing 2 on every territory, and going consecutively for fairness. If we wanted specific partners we had to relaunch a CD possibly several times to get the 1&3 vs 2&4 order. we did this for tournament games (live play only) but for casual ladder games we just went with random partners. forget about trying to do a 2v2v2 to get the right partners lol. Team games were played more often, because they were time convenient and had a good chance of actually finishing. The ladder i started back in the day is still active with the stragglers who I havent quite converted to d12 :). GM_SFH ran it more recently, and now it's being run by KOE_Doja. online risk dinosaurs.

Team games here are just perfect. But anything would be I guess, with what I was use to for a long time :)

Here is the webpage I made to list teams and results.
All the old avatars made for the tournament have been removed from my server to save space, but all the text information is still there.
A lot of these players are no longer at D12.

The standings table shows who went out first round etc, by the points system.

(Edit)
Check out the details below the table.. LOL "Tests are being done for a new 4 team tournament and the possibility of team games on D12 in the future."

There's a link at the bottom that takes you to the game reference page:

at this moment while pairs tournaments are underway there are going to be repeat teams in tournaments, so it's likely that most teams already played may get a place in the first t.o.c tournament anyway. as we do more, then, highest placed dominating teams will get position.. after the qualifiers (finalists of any of the previous 4 tournaments).

hope that makes sense,.that time of the night for me.. will update stuff soon

Thanks Hood, it's nice to see that the pairs tournaments have become popular as they were originally intended to, but it's all down to the organiser and how well they do their voluntary job and you have handled this tournament with military precision & efficiency!!!
