WDS Tiller Operational Campaigns Tournament News

[HMCS Rosthern]

These are the reasons why someone would want to participate in these tournaments; in order of priority.

1. Meet and play new gamers
2. Play a variety of scenarios that one would not necessarily try. 
3. Friendly competition. 

Note competition is last on this list, mainly because it is difficult to give all entrants an equal chance of winning the tournament. Winning tournaments will take skill, but randomness and built in biases have some effect on the winner. 

When I organize the next tournament I will try giving the prize for the top player on each team (this does negate some of the biases, but randomness will still be a factor, e.g., pairings that pit a strong player against weaker players). This means that there will be no random draw for a prize as I only have access to 2 free games. The consequences is that it's more likely someone who can't win may drop (not caring about points 1 and 2 above).
