Team Tournament

I think there has been enough interest in this, I'm gonna try to set this thing up.

My preference is to try and run a 1500 pt tourney on Sunday June 25th or July 9th. I still have to talk to Darren about opening early, but most of the staff have said as long as it's well in advance it's not a problem.

I'd rather we have 1500 b/c it solves all the of the 2 or 3 wound combat patrol issues.

Here is a rough copy of rules/guidelines for the tournament. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Mission/deployment is predetermined. If anyone wants to see them here is a link: http://www.adepticon.org/wpfiles/2010/201040KChamps.pdf
I may be making MINOR changes to the missions.

PRIZES
working out exactly what will be awarded as we speak.

No prob (well very little really). Still have to talk to Darren, but everything should be finalized by Sunday.

So it's teams of 2 or 4?

Teams of 4, different pairs each game.

looks good to me. Can't see any issues.

Hey, when do you think you'll finalize the details for this? I've already arrange my 4-man team...

This is relevant to Ben's interests.

Thanks for the support:)

I'm hoping to have the details finalized by this weekend. I know I said last weekend, but family stuff came up. If there is anything you are curious about in particular, feel free to PM me.

I don't understand. How does this work? Does only half the team play any one match?

Lets say Tom, Joe, Matt K. and Ben M. form Team No Ones.

In round one Tom and Joe play one game vs Team B, and Matt and Ben play another game vs Team B's other pair.

In round two they have to have different pairings. Tom and Matt take on the Team C's first pair, and Ben and Joe take on the other.

In round three you pair with you last teammate (so Tom and Ben, and Matt and Joe) and take on Team D.

By the end of the three rounds, your team will have 6 games total, each player playing 3 games, one with each of his teammates. And each game you play against a differnt team.

Thats the main reason I'm having to use battlepoints, as at he end of the tourney every team could have a 3-3 record. Gotta have something to seperate ppl.

Spoke to Darren today. Tournament is ON.

Sunday June 26th @ 10am. I will be updating rules/etc shortly.
