Having the "What the crap do you do with this army" is certainly an angle I'm considering.

~Dysole, not quite sure why there's eight maps in a 4 week tourney (unless of course those are playoff maps)

[Eraguy816]

May and June. (June being the playoffs, Semi finals, etc.)

[Kinseth]

Yes 8 maps, 4 for the regular season and 4 for the playoffs. All random ofcourse.

[Eraguy816]

I hope I get into the finals and win. Just to play on all the maps. And the prizes.

Well, it looks like that first week (of May 5) is too busy for me. I have something at least until 8 every night. I don't think running 9-11 games would make my parents very happy...

After that week, though, I'm considerably free-er. If the tourney doesn't start until that next week, I could possibly do it. Or maybe I can sign up as a sub.

If you are unsure of the commitment (which usually amounts to a couple of hours each week, depending on how fast you play), then by all means sign up as a sub. Almost all of our past subs have been rotated in, so there is a very good chance that you will get some action.

Please be aware of this, that the rounds alternate from picking for yourself to picking the army your opponent will use.

My advice to participants is to try to balance your armies. If your armies play pretty evenly against each other, then they are a good fit for this format.

Yes, having one army that totally dominates another likely will put you in a bad situation for the tournament. Especially if you lose the dice roll in the Pick your Poison rounds.

[Eraguy816]

If you do you did this to yourself.

Are we gonna know the maps before sign ups? Are we just suppose to guess based on the pool? I'm guessing this is to deter us from making map specific armies?

All of the maps will be used. There are 4 regular rounds, 4 playoff rounds. 8 maps.

Army 1: Marro Hive
Army 2: Rechets of Bogdan

As balanced against each other as you can get!
