During the round robin, this shouldn't be a problem, as everyone will be player 2 a nearly equal number of times. If people were that worried about it, we could double up on the games; they'll all be at the same time.

The plan is to use SE4 Gold for the second round, where this would be more of a problem.

What kind of turn frequency are you thinking? Even two turns a day will take some time to finish a game, even with a smaller universe.



Two turns a day might be possible for some people, and I wouldn't expect the game to take longer than 150 turns--and some games will likely end in surrender before that. Thus, I expect the first round to Last about four months.

Note that because there are only two players per game, each player can send in a turn, wait for the turn to process, and send in a second turn immediately following. This will keep games moving along at a solid pace. Are you interested?


avdb: Please let me know what your PBW screen name is. Otherwise, I can't add you to the tourney list.

Hey all. Several things:

1. Look for yourself to have been assigned to a game called "Holding Pattern." It won't be a playable game, just a place to gather everyone until the tourney starts, or I set up a real mailing list, whichever comes first.

2. "avdb," you say to count you in... but I really need your PBW screen name before i can do so. Please post it here or email it to me at es2@pbw.cc, ASAP.

3. georgig, are you out there? You posted on PBW's forum, but with no text, so I'm not sure if you're interested in the tournament.

4. SLOTS ARE STILL OPEN! Yes, that's right, you still have a chance to compete. Just post here, or to the Universe Cup thread on PBW, or email me at es2@pbw.cc.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, a tournament was started.

Anyone who was in this, or rememebers hearing about it, you might be interested in knowing we finally have reached the championship round.

RexTorres made it through round two without a loss. He will be facing Georgig who made it through round two with one loss, to Rex as a matter of fact.

The Chapionship round will be one or two games. If Rex wins the first he is the champion.

Good luck to both.
