-No the games will probably not be between the same two players, though it might work out that way.
-Winner will be a total points score from both games.
_Opponents are assigned from a formula I gave in the rules that all players look at. The rules are in the .ZIP file.
-I will try to give out participation awards. I am designing the main award now, though I will need some help as to size of file ect. I should be able to make up a participation ribbon or somethingas well.
-Take a look at the .ZIP'ed content and see what you think, if you are interested, let me know and you will be added. Closing date for no knew players will be Friday evening when I put together the players and who plays who. Once both games are going I will set on a date for both games to be finished by. There will be no exceptions to this date. I will try to make the date as fair as possible but not to drag out at all. The games are 25 turns fixed so they should play quite quickly with average file returns.
I like the idea of a strict time limit. However, I hope you will leave more time than not enough. Although 25 turns is not a big game, summer time can often get slower returns especially due to summer leave, etc. I for one, will be gone for a full three weeks to Jordan in July so there will be no turns during that time.
What I plan on doing is emailing everyone and asking them when they can get the games completed by. I understand that it is summer so it will take a little longer then normal.
A reminder that all files must be returned to me by tomorrow evening. Any players that do not get the files in in time will be dropped from the tourny. If there is an odd number of players left, I will step in and take the place of someone in order to keep the others able to play.
