Now That the first round of the Tournament is coming to a close and there are a few more players floating around the board I was wondering if there would be interest in a 2 vs 2 tournament idea that I have had for a while but wanted to wait until round 1 was over.

The name of the Tournament will be 2vs2 Can I Trust You Tournament

It will have some similarities to the single player tournament but will be quite different.

In each round (6 rounds max) each team will play one allied game and one axis game.
Your team must win or draw one game to move to the next round.

Each team will have a Team Score and a Individual Score
The Highest team score at the end of the tourney gets a Congratulations, thanks for playing.
The Highest Individual score will win an engraved statue/trophy which I have not chosen or decided on the engraving yet.

When your team finishes a game your team receives or loses points based on this chart:
- Decisive Victory: +60
- Substantive Victory: +40
- Marginal Victory: +30
- Draw: +20
- Marginal Defeat: +10
- Substantive Defeat: 0
- Decisive Defeat: -20

That is how Team Score is calculated.

Each Individual on the team has his own Individual Score which is equal to 1/2 of the Team Score plus AAR points earned, plus any points earned in the COLD WAR.

That's right, this tourney continues on to the EAST vs WEST SCENARIO if the Allies cause the Axis to surrender before the end Date.
(Edit July28 2007) Due to the unbalanced nature of a wwIII continuation game I have cut the East West points in half

Points for East vs West
- Decisive Victory: +15
- Substantive Victory: +10
- Marginal Victory: +7.5
- Draw: +5
- Marginal Defeat: +2.5
- Substantive Defeat: 0
- Decisive Defeat: -5
Edit Dec 24, 2007: Scoreing Change
SU players who reach East vs West will gain +5 points at completion of east East vs West game.
This is because of the severe unballanced nature of East vs West I dont want to see any SU players score negetive points.


AARs

In an effort to easily keep track of the progress of each game I am going to create a thread in the AAR section for each game and each player will be required to post in the thread everytime they E-mail a turn.

They will post minimum:
1) the World Power they are playing
2) the game date they just played
3) the player they have sent the E-mail to

This is required and each time a player fails to do so will cost him 1pt off his individual score.

Optional per post:
1) One screenshot
2) A description of the turn

For each post that contains these optional items the player will be awarded 1/4 pt on his individual score. Thats 1 pt for each game year or about 6 pts for a game up to 1946 and even more if the game goes into East vs West.

The settings:
Uncommon Valor Scenario
FOG=ON
ADV Supplies
End Date=ON
AV=ON

Time Commitment may turn many off since we already have a tourney going.
This will be a long drawn out Tournament (which is the nature of 2 vs 2 anyway)
So each Team will have 1 week to get the file back to the other team.
Earlier would be better but a week should be enough.

You will be alternateing which World Power you play each round.
So if you make it to all 6 rounds you will have played WA 3x SuCh3x GE3x JA3x
Thats 6 chances to get to the Cold War
And 6 Chances to deny the other teams a chance at the Cold War points.

Ok, I think that is enough to wet some appitites for a 2 vs 2 tournament.
Teams will be formed in the order players join.
If you already have a partner state that in your post.
I would say we need a minimum of 12players/6 teams to get this started.

(edit) I have changed the order of World Powers to reflect the sequence which turns are exchanged.

I'll play! 

I'm interested but I fear that I won't have the time as long as I remain in the other tournament.

count me in!
 
Mike

I'm in  

Sign me up if there is room.

Lots of room!
There is no limit to the number of players that can join except that it will have to be an even number in the end.
Once we hit 6 teams then the games may start and I will probably leave sign-ups open for a couple more weeks after that.
All are welcome unless you plan to go MIA

-MrQuiet

I would be interested... but I don´t now if I can find the time... I´ll see yet.

Sounds like a blast. Beats doing real work!
Please count me in.
Edit: Hey, there I am. Cool.

Kondor I have added you to the list.
If you really think you will not have the time for one turn a week per game let me know and I will remove you.

We only need 2 more teams and then the fun can begin.

-MrQuiet

Well I think that I´ll manage it...
It´s only one turn per week and it sounds as a lot of fun!

I will join too

Hi all

I'm joining. I have asked a511 to form a team with me. If he doesn't join then I guess me and Haudrauf are going to be brothers in arms[:D]

Hi rjh1971: Glad to see you join.
Nobody will be brothers in arms once the shooting start in East vs West hence the name of the tournament.[:)]
I am going to put you on team F and we shall see if a511 joins before your team gains another solo player.
 
MrQuiet

hi guys!

im in and pair up with rjh1971 to form a team.

Traitors would be treated acordingly, once we defeat the Axis. [:'(]

When playing the Axis, we will be.

All players please note I have added the rules regarding AARs.

We now only need one more player to kick this off.

-MrQuiet

You are really promoting the game, with all those AARs coming.

Mr Quiet, you chose the right teammate , and I'm equally glad to have you as a partner. BTW, why aren't we scheduled to play against rhj1971/a511 as Allies in 6)? Seems we are the missing pair there.
 
And Jan, would be nice to have you in this too! You can be the last needed player

Room for one more? I'm interested.
