3rd Afterwind 1v1 Tournament Spring/Summer [*]

3rd Afterwind 1v1 Tournament Spring/Summer

General information:
This is the third 1v1 Afterwind tournament. The settings are going to change again, to prevent the same tournaments every season. However, Europe+ and 10k still seem to be the most popular settings, so it will not be changed. The initial countries will be changed to 2! Its not used very often and it gives both player more starting combinations, without using the same Strategy and first turn trick over and over again. Different rules, Different settings, More fun!

Current status: Tournament started. New registrations will be placed on the reservelist

Tournament type: 2 times knockout system:
This will be the same system that was used in the 2nd Afterwind tournament. It's a double elimination system.

How do i sign up

Posting a message in this thread is enough

I'm in yo.

Dito

I'm in.

Let's do this, sign me up Hugosch.

Hang on. Two initial countries?

I'm in .

I'm in.

2 questions:

1. Is it allowed to play with only one of our 2 initial starting countries by exemple I play France against austria+sweden?
2. "It is not allowed to move your units into enemy territory within the first turn" Does that mean that a SM spain player can't take UK first turn while facing France because he have to move his units over Bretagne?

Yes, since 10k and 1 country is a standard setting and would be a little monotonous if we have another tournament with that settings if you ask me. I've played some matches with 2 countries and it's fun.

1. You can only pick 1 country if you want. (if game mechanics allow that)
2. It is allowed to move units over your enemy's country, but at the beginning of the next turn (week 2) you are not allowed to have any units in your opponent's countries. It's like "no wallfucking in home country" but a little simpler for new players to understand.

We wanted a change in the tournament, its no fun if there are the same rules every tournament. Since the votes showed that it should be Europe+ and 10k again, we've tried to look at the other rules.

The most players have a default strategy, always pick the same country and do the same moves in the first 3turns. This new game option will change that and it will also change the gamestyle, strategy and tactics in the game with more possible combinations. I've tried this setting against some opponents (lost most of my matches btw), and everyone i played liked these settings.

Yeah just played a game with two countries, it was suprisingly different.

Bleh. Europe+?

Im in

I am in.

Count me in

I'm signing up

I will bet u

EDIT: I think you should set it up like ironail's tournament, with a losers bracket as well (one and done is annoying, and ironail's tournament was extremely fun and memorable)

also, if my message was not clear, please sign me up

I think the 2 initial country start may cause some unbalanced situations. There will be too much stalling especially if someone lets say picks Ukraine, a very strong cheaper country, he has a lot of leftover cash to pick a stall country for ex; his enemy is Germany, he can pick Ukraine as his main and Austria to stall. I think we should just stick with the standard 1 initial country to avoid this issue.

TopHats: I don't see why it is unbalanced. If you pick Ukraine, then your enemy is very bad as he picks Germany. But that doesn't mean that these 2 initial countries are unbalanced. If its 10k and 1 country selection and i pick Belgium when you took Gemany, then that doesn't mean that the 1 country selection is the setting to blame for the unbalancing. Its just the choices you make. I tried the Ukraine/Austria combination. Its a good one, but it can be beaten. And even if it was unbeatable, then its easy to encountry by just picking Austria if the opponent took Ukraine.

I suppose you're right, I just feel there will be a lot of complaints of people wining or losing for the wrong reasons.

Oh yeah. You know I'm in. GW plz don't fail me now!

Mehhhhhhhh why not. Add me.

.

Despite my reluctance to have to go up against a rank 9 in the first round.... meh why not?

Sign me up yo!

I would like in on this.

edit: I changed my name from 4set to what it is currently.

Hugosch, I noticed you put up the ranks next to the names of all the players. Does that mean you'll try to match us up according to rank?
Please do, I'll suck you off for that.
