Pro Tourney

[low_bidder]

Thanks, I have done two tourneys but none this century. I was going to try and cut down the overall playing time through a different technique. By building scenarios I front load the grunt work. Part of that is a matrix listing all the players, their opponents and the scenario they play. That way nobody has to wait for the rest of the team to finish that stage or round. So in theory any player could have ALL the games going at the same time.
To adjust for drops, I want to try scoring by a plus or minus on the average per scenario. Say the average score for Iran is 1100 in scenario #3. If You score 1200, you are plus 100. The highest overall score wins. I'm thinking that will reduce the effects of drops. So if I keep the turns under 20ish, the maps under 40x40 (20x20?) the combined unit count under 100, then the scenarios should play fast.
Last man standing (elimination tournaments) lose players at the end (yeah, well Duh!) Not sure if this will work but it has the chance to. I think that will depend on the number of players. Counting you I'm at 5 right now. I have been sending out E-mails and we will see what sort of response that brings by Tuesday.
I plan on posting a list of players by Thursday and the matrix so they can work out any potential RL issues with their opponent. Then it's on to making scenarios. Wulfir will help make maps. I will use this list and input from players for the scenarios;

With the TO&E there, it is pretty easy to select sub formations. Wulfir has a good eye for V-flags, so All I will need to do is set up the entry hexes and order.
Should be able to do several per day.
So while each battle might take two months, they doi not have to be done in sequence. No one battle is dependent on the battle before it.
