Blitz Tournament 0013!

Sunday, January 29, 2012

ChallengeSpaceYard has begun the hosting of a new blitz tournament. The last tournament was held in 0008 and was a big success culminating in an incredible 60+ turn finale between Admiral_Thrain and Joshua. Now is your chance to prove your blitz skills. The winner of this tournament will receive one free month of Premium membership!

The rules of the tourney are outlined on this website: https://sites.google.com/site/csplanets/legacy/tournaments/blitz-0013

They are summarized below:

This tournament is a single-elimination tournament. Lose a series, and that is it for you.

However, the losers of the Semi-Finals (Round 3) can request a third place playoff.

Players are permitted to choose the race they want for each game throughout the tournament, including in the middle of a round. It is up to the players to decide if they want to disclose it on the first turn.

Players that are unsure what race to pick at any time are welcome to use the randomization program. (Feedback Reference)

Each pairing will play a best of 3 games, with the winner advancing to the next round. The only exception towards this rule is the final round, which requires a best of 5 games instead in order to declare a winner.
Players may agree upon who hosts each series (or a fraction thereof). Players must disclose the IDs of each game or they may be disqualified for lack of contact. If necessary, both players will be disqualified and the player in another pairing that would be fighting the winner of the offending pairing will be granted a bye into the round after.
In the event there is a problem setting up the game(s), Challenge Space Yard must be contacted by the players involved in the offending pairing(s). If he receives incomplete contact in any pairing, he will disqualify the players that did not contact him.

Get involved and play some short games! To sign up, just message ChallengeSpaceYard in this thread: http://planets.nu/discussion/blitz-tournament-0013

Have fun and good luck commanders!

The previous Blitz tournament thread was the most highly read and replied to thread on the forums at least from all the threads I've seen so far. This is a great idea.

Just so every player that makes it to this page knows, this tournament has already filled up completely!

Hopefully there will be more 2-1 results than the previous tournament, and that the finals will end with a 3-1 or 3-2.
