Multi-Player Head to Head Tournament

I have not decided whether the four should be broken up or moved to the next round together. That is one of the things that is open for discussion

Perhaps a random selection from the remaining players would be best.

It's pretty barebones right now but once the tournament is up and running I will have updates here so people can keep track of their progress through the brackets.

Since we now have the map editor it is possible to do a 'standard' tourney map. And have players in 'forced start' spots. Could be fun with a few outlying sectors that all lead to a middle sector with a ringworld/sphereworld in the middle to fight over. Planets could be carefully controlled/modded to provide bonuses and penalties (+to research or -to hit while in orbit but Huge planet, etc.)....Damn this could be fun (and with a standard map it takes some of the 'luck' out of it and adds more strategy....people will play with the map for days to plan their use of it....man, I'm thinking too much...)

If you need a designer for a tournament map I was working on one earlier......here is the skelton of it (systems only, no planets). If you don't already have one in mind I would be happy to go ahead and design the rest......
Later...

I am leaning against the idea of using a premade map for the tournament. I think it would be better not knowing exactly where everything is before you discover it in the game.

I think a standard map would be more appropriate for a single player tournament as a way to equalize the starting positions of all the contestants. That isn't really an issue in this type of format.
