SPACE EMPIRES IV WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PROJECT

First thing sorry for my bad english, but I’m italian, so I’ll tro to explain myself to the best of my ability…

Main Porpouses

The porpouses of this project are, in order of importance :

1) Have a real Space Empires IV web community championship that challenges the ability of all players in different kinds of game setups and play situations.
2) Have a system of rules that permits players to auto-control the Championship regularity without the need of full time judges, controllers etc.

System of Play

All Space Empires IV World Championship games will be played throught the Play by Web server using the PBW system. All games will be created and mantained by a host (randomly chosen among all the game players). Players will be responsible of their game conduct, under host supervision.

Championship Formula

The championship has two phases. The first phase qualifies for the second.
1) First Phase : Each player will play for different games contemporary, each game will be carachterized by unique settings. When all games finish, a final ranking between all players will be calculated.
2) Second Phase : The first 20 players of the final ranking will challenge each others in the final game. The winner of the final game is, obviously, the winner of the Championship.

First Phase Detailes

Each player subscripted to the World Championship will play the First Phase. The first phase will be based on 4 different games played with 6 players on a small map. The composition of each individual game will be randomly chosen, so each player will be different opponents in each game. The 4 games played will be :

a FINITE RESOURCES game : Economical management will be tested with this particular game when you will be asked to build an empire with limited resources in a old quadrant with only a few good systems.
a MOD (the mod must be selected by organizers for this one) : To test the ability of a player in jumping from a play situation to another.
a TECH game : Reach 50% of all techs, testing your diplomacy ability and your ability in direct all your empire to one single porpouse : Technology
a DEATHMATCH game : All tech game, all versus all and a lot of blood Last! Only the worst mother****er guy will win this game!

Second Phase Detailes

The second phase game will be a Last man standing match played on a large galaxy. The first 20 players of the final ranking will play this game. The winner of the Final Game will be the only SE4 World Championship Winner.

Game Justice (cheat)

-Each players bad behaviour, attempt to cheat etc will be judged by a Commission. The Commission will be randomly composed by 7 other players Subscribed to the game. If the Commission estabilish that the player sub-judice is trying to cheat,the player is immediately kicked out from the Championship.

Now

Now, these are the cruel ideas, if someone want to cooperate to this project, he/she can email directly to me replying this e-mail. The rules are only at a primitive state, now, and we need discussions and details in order to manage any possible situation.
Web designing and management is also necessary in order to create a web site that assures the players subscription (automatic) and the championship status.

I hope somone will considered the idea,
