I hate how NE stands for both New England, North East, and Nebraska. Have fun with the event.

[Matthias Maccabeus]

The format looks pretty interesting. I'll put more thought into it after the KC tourney on the 11th. I'm sure I'll bring a few with me if I can make it.

[TinyTimmy]

Hmmmm, interesting, You can count Me, Tiny Timmy in on this....

Now I'm off to contemplate whether I should take offensive or defensive.....

[deliverymanxas]

Im intrigued...put me down for a maybe. The setup is sounding interesting

edit:
You should chose a few maps and post pics or links to the downloads.

[DeadEye]

Im interested in coming Ellraiser. Put me down as a maybe,
After the KC tourney I will know more.

DeadEye

[simonlost]

I can prob take off work SO please put me down as a maybe +1

[Ellraiser]

I will be making four maps for the tourney....
1 Lava map
1 Ice map
1 Swamp map
1 Forest map

Other than that...I will be making them up since I don't think that there are premade maps that seat 6 players.

[Matthias Maccabeus]

Ell, I had a few thoughts about this the other day.

How big are the maps going to be? D-man and I were talking and he even built a few multi-master set maps to accommodate 6 (24 hex) start zones, and they are really close together so you really only end up attacking the two people right next to you for the most part. Also a 6 player game has a lot of "down" time. I was wondering why not just do 3 player free for all maps? You cut down on the "down" time plus you have more room on the maps.

Dignan ran something kind of like this last year. Here's the link

We could even use the 3 player maps he used. Just a suggestion. But I really think a 6 player Free For All has waaaaay to much "down" time.

[deliverymanxas]

agreed. another thing you run into are extremely long games, and the possibility of player 5 and 6 not even getting a turn. If you had a couple of people target one individual, it could get pretty ugly pretty fast. Either keeping normal formats (1 on 1) or trying to lower the points significantly (about 300) might help make this tourney flow a bit easier for a 'first timer'.

Im not trying to say you couldnt do this tourney, but I really think that a few people could get confused or frustrated with this format.

Just a suggestion, but I think either reduce the points alot so that start zones are smaller (300-325 with maybe 12 or 15 start zone), or drop it down to a 'normal' 1 on 1 tourney. Would even make it go a bit quicker and smoother if done the way everybody is used to.

But again, this is just my 2cents
