Default It\'s time for a new Tournament...Ratings Bash I

Announcing the start of the Ratings Bash I

This will be a simple four round, invitational tournament. Players will be seeded according to their current standings in Slynky's Space Empires IV Ratings Page.

This tournament is by invitation to the top 16 players currently listed in the Ratings. If any of the 16 choose not to compete, alternates will be chosen in order from the remaining players after the top 16. If 16 of the players in the current Ratings are not interested in competing, unranked players will be seeded at the bottom on a first some first serve basis, but the tournament will not be expanded beyond 16 players.

Here are the current rankings. The Ratings change constantly as games finish, but for tourney purposes these will be the rankings used.

Want's to play, Unranked and not in the rankings alternates: (first come first served)
None yet

Unable to participate at this time:
7 Phoenix-D
17 GrandpaKim
19 Loser

Here's the current bracket: This is subject to change if any of the invitees choose not to compete.

Check the bracket here.


All games will be one on one, Koth style. Game settings can be tweaked if the players both agree to it, but I will encourage no changes that will cause the games to go on too long. The idea is to get through this in a reasonable amount of time.

All players will agree to have the results of their games used for ranking purposes.

I will contact everybody by email, but feel free to state here if you are not interested.

Something I just noticed. The bottom of the rankings has a cluster of four players at 984 points. These are arbitrarily ranked alphabetically as:

15 Georgig 984 1
16 Gozguy 984 1
17 GrandpaKim 984 1
18 Lord Chane 984 1

This is fine for the rankings, but not really fair to leave someone out of the tourney based on the letters in their name. Probably at least two of the top 16 won't play and then it won't be an issue. But if it is I will take these four players in the order they respond either in the thread or by email to notify me they wish to play. The alternative would be to have a play in game, but I really don't want to add another round.

Georgig, how could you be 19th out of 16 players? I believe that will be a bit hard. (In the tournament that is, there can be only 16 players)

I support your idea though, it will be useful for us who do not stand a chance of winning more than one game. (Even if I do pass against Grazic, I will likely face Asmala. So. )
