Mega-Dueling Tournament - Rules, Settings, Check List, and Sign Ups

[Ink]

well the selection method is only a problem for the first round. once everyone has two nations to select from, things get a lot more even.

OTOH: why can't this be a 'dueling' tourny? the point here is the skill of the players, not the relative merits of the nations. Perhaps the simplest possible setup is to have each pairup organize a duel, with maybe some rules in place on how the duel should be carried (how nations selected, what map(s) to use, etc).

the duel setup does seem to be what at least some of the hold-outs want, and I find it hard to imagine that anyone currently signed up would object.
