Tournaments

Each player will play 3 games in each map:
World Classic 2p, United States 2p, Africa 1890 2p, Timor Islands 2p (tie-break), Caribbean Dual 2p (knockout stage and third place game), World Expanded (final)

At the end of the third group games, if anyone is in a tie with anybody else(same no. of points), then a tie-breaking match between the two will be played on Timor Islands.

Knockout stage: Similar to the FIFA World Cup, all games on Caribbean Dual.

Time Commitment:
This tournament will take up to a YEAR to complete. This tournament is designed for players that want a steady flow of 24 h games throughout the year, starting with 1 game in the first few months then slowly increasing until the finale! Please note that the month of July will not have any games running for this tournament.

Entry Requirement:
1. Each player must have a join date of January 1, 2022 or earlier and must have a minimum of 60 games.
2. Each player will have 40 rating points deducted at the start of the tournament. This will be a manual adjustment. An email message from me will be sent prior as a reminder.
3. Respond with your name and an available territory from the map above in this thread to enter.

Layout:
All games will be played on the following settings: Deathmatch, Sunny (no fog), Increasing cards, Chain Fortification, Normal Card Turn in, Original Dice.
Every player will pick their territory when they sign up for this tournament. Once the tournament starts, there will be two phases:

Phase 1: The Ordering Phase (up to 48 hours)
Every player will start with their territory that they own and 1 attacking order. This is where you pick an adjacent territory to your own to attack. To conquer this territory, you will fight a battle on the map assigned to that territory. You will message me only with your attack order I will compile a list of attackers to the same territory. This will determine the number of players for that map being fought for. You will get a message from me that the next round is up. You have 48 hours to send in your attacking orders.

How to get more attacking orders? There are two methods to increase the number of attacking orders.
1. Own a region bonus. For example, if you win Australian region, you will get 2 additional attacking orders.
2. The more territories you own, the more attacking orders you will get according to this chart:

1 – 2 territories = 1 attacking order
3 – 5 territories = 2 attacking orders
6 – 8 territories = 3 attacking orders
9 – 11 territories = 4 attacking orders
12 – 14 territories = 5 attacking orders
15 – 17 territories = 6 attacking orders etc.

Multiple attacks can be ordered out of one territory. If you decided to use 3 or more attacks on 1 territory compared to the other players, you automatically conquer that territory without a battle/game.

Rules & Limitations:
• Everyone will need to complete this within the time frame of 48 hours. Otherwise, you will forfeit your right to attack.
• Unused attacking orders cannot be used in the following rounds. You must use all your attacking orders or lose it.
• If you miss two consecutive ordering phases, you will be kicked out of the tournament and your territories will become neutral.
• If only 1 player decides to attack a neutral territory, the territory is automatically won by that player without a battle/game.
• No sharing of attacking orders on the main map. No diplomacy, negotiating or conspiring on the main map. For breaking this rule, we use the rule of the 2 strikes, and you are out. Just make sure nothing is said regarding teaming up, who should attack who, etc.
• Make sure your attacking orders are valid. Sending attacking orders that are not adjacent to the territories that you own will be ignored (since I will be receiving a minimum of 42 attacking orders and will not have the time to double-check them!)
• If I received attacking orders that exceeds your allowance, only the first orders of your allowance will be followed. The rest will be ignored.

Phase 2: The Attacking Phase (up to 25 days)
All games must be completed within 25 days. In other words, the attackers have 25 days to conquer the territory. If the territory is not conquered within 25 days, the owner or the defender of that territory wins and holds the territory on the main map. This includes if the defender is defeated in the game but there is no winner to the game after 25 days. All games that are not completed within 25 days will end in a draw.
If all games are completed before the deadline of 25 days, we move on to the next round. No deliberately stalling or extending turns as a defender on your territories. This will be seen as exploiting the odds of winning by time expiration and will not be tolerated.  Any players that leave the tournament, their territories will become neutral.

Bonus on the drop:
If you have a bonus region on the drop, please notify me ASAP. I will end the game and restart a new one. Please note you must notify me of this within the first round for this to happen.

Tactical m/s Rules:
There are some circumstances where players do not want the defender to keep their territory on the main map or an attacker from gaining a territory on the main map. These scenarios are:
1. Trying to break their region bonus on the main map or preventing a bonus.
2. The player is close to winning 50% on the main map.
If you are planning to m/s on a player you must first notify me (periwinkle) and announce this in the chat at least 1 round before in the chat that this is your intention.  

Prizes:

There is a maximum number of players of 42. If there are less than 42 players, any unclaimed territories will be neutral on the main map. Own 50% of the map and you will be the tournament winner. If 50% of the main map is not owned by a single player by December 31, 2023, then the player with the most territories win. 
The winner of the tournament will get up to 70% of the rating points (1176 points) and tokens collected. Second place will get 20% (336 points) and third will get 10% (168 points).

A maximum of 42 players will be accepted for this tournament.
