Hi.

~~Update 07/23/14! I'm using this thread to gauge interest in a third "no spawns" tournament. Click here to discuss.~~ (third tournament sign-ups are underway here)

Update 03/09/14! We have a champion! Congratulations to lawtai for emerging victorious over jchris98 in the final tie-breaker! And thank you to everyone who participated!

Update 03/08/14! Another tie between lawtai and jchris98! We'll have one more final tie-breaker game to determine the champion. Lawtai was first to complete his regular frame matches, so he'll decide to be P1 or P2, and the game will be played on Long Nine.

Update! Three way tie! Memories, lawtai, and jchris98 have each earned six points, so we're going to have a three person round-robin tie-breaker frame! Six games, four games per contestant. 1 point for a win, 0 for a loss, most points after all games are completed wins! If there is another tie, then we'll use head-to-head to resolve the tie, if possible. Otherwise, I guess we'll have to have another tie-breaker! Tongue

All tie-breaker games must be on Sweetie Plains!!!

Results spreadsheet is available.

Signups are closed. The tournament begins now! See below for contestant list. Post replays in this thread.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It would be a very good idea to send little chat messages to each other in game to remind each other that you should not spawn any units!

Results spreadsheet is here

As you may know, quite some time ago there was a small tournament of only six players in which the players were not permitted to spawn any units at all and had to defeat their opponents using only the units that were predeployed on the map at game start. I had a lot of fun, and so I thought it would be similarly fun to host a tournament like that one.

So this tournament will be almost exactly like that one, except occurring now instead of whenever the first one was and with a different roster of players.

Like the first tournament, it'll be a six person round robin affair in which each player must play each other player twice, once as P1 and once as P2.

Rules:

1. P1 chooses the map and must send an invite to P2.
2. Do not spawn anything at any point in your matches. This means YOU! <--- This is the most important rule.
3. If you spawn something by accident on a turn later than turn 1 or 2, then it is up to your opponent to decide whether to claim the win or to allow a rematch.
4. You get 1 point for winning and 0 points for losing.
5. Whoever has the most points after all matches are played is the winner.
6. I'll decide later how to approach breaking ties should they occur.

Anyone may sign up. First come, first served. Sign up by posting in this thread with your GameCenter ID. No need to list your league or points or favorite ice cream flavor (flavour?). None of that will have any impact on seeding, since everyone will play everyone else. But you may include your favorite ice cream flavor (flavour?) if you wish, as it will not negatively impact the tournament either.

I won't be participating in this one to leave room for others, but here's an example sign-up post:
