The AWBW Map Committee is proud to announce the AWBW Speed Dating tournament! This will be a tournament that will begin approximately one week from this posting (around June 8th) and will continue through the month. The goal is to have a unique, fast paced tournament on some relatively unused but solid maps. The unique gimmick of this tournament will be a Boot/AET of 2/2. This means that if you do not take a turn for two days, you will be booted. This tournament will test your limits as a player, and see how adept you are at making split second decisions without having as much time as the average AWBW game. To sign up, just post here with your AWBW username.

Important to note: These games will use Advance Wars By Web's built-in tournament function. Due to the automation of the tournament, after you sign up, we should be able to place your in your games automatically, which should speed things along in line with the general feel of this "speed tournament." Once players are placed in their game, they will have 2 days to pick their CO/country before the game is started. After 2 days, your game will start automatically. If you have not picked a CO before then, the default CO will be Adder.

Opponents for round 1 will be assigned by Global League based seeding. From there, the system will place you in your games directly with your opponent based on the results of your previous game. As such, you will only have to choose your CO and your country, as you did in round 1. You will advance in this fashion until you are eliminated or you win the tournament. We will be keeping track of the tournament standings at all times through Advance Wars By Web itself and will post those to the forum here accordingly to ensure all information on wins and losses are accurate and can easily be seen by all players and spectators.

---

All games will be standard in keeping with Global League style games. That means:

• FoW off
  
• no tags
  
• CO powers on
  
• weather clear
  
• Funds 1000 per turn
  

To keep things moving, we will not be using the earlier proposed systems for having players pick and choose the maps. Instead, all maps and CO Tiers will be selected by the map committee, again, so that there is no delay from players choosing their maps and co tiers.

---

The tournament's format will be Single Elimination. We are looking for at least 16 players, but if there are more total players that apply, we will adjust and accommodate them. The preliminary maps for each round are as follows:

Here's how the tournament works:

1) When a new round starts (Round 1 should start on June 8th), all not-eliminated players are added to their games automatically. Your game will show up under "Games Waiting to Start" on the "Your Games" page.

2) Every player will have 2 days to change their CO and country choice (Adder is the default CO).

3) After 2 days, I will auto-start all games. When it is your turn, the game will show up in the "Your Turn Games" page like it normally does for every other AWBW game.

For those of you who have played in the League, it is very similar to that. The only thing you have to do as a participant is pick your CO and take your turns. Hope that clears it up!

Question: What if the 2/2 Boot/AET script has bugs?
Answer: This new feature unique to this tournament will also be manually enforced, so in the case that the script does not work, we will be able to manually boot players if they do not keep up with the Boot/AET of 2/2 and the site does not boot them.

Question: What if I need to go on Vacation during the tournament?
Answer: Any player that AET's due to vacation will be eliminated from this tournament so that other players are allowed to continue participating.

Question: Will these games count towards our W-L-D or Rating for the Global League?
Answer: No, they will not, although this may change in future tournaments.

I'm going to sign up to play.

OK me too.

Walker plx remind me on IRC when its time to create game or whatever.

I like the sound of 2/2 boot schedule. I get disinterested in games that take months because nobody wants to take their turn within a week.
I join. Probably to lose, but whatever, I join anyway.

I'd like to join this tournament, thanks.
Please sign up two other players as well. They haven't the account in this forum: wyj_0081 and ANT13.

Hi the_FANG, I'm okay with signing up other players who can't easily make accounts here. But please make sure wyj and ANT understand the rules - especially the boot/AET limits and no vacation. Thanks!

Yes. I've already told them all important points in this page, including the rules such as boot, aet and no vacation.

I'm ready for a challenge, sign me up.

I guess, I will participate as well, even though I will probably fail horribly.

I'm ready.

Cookie7 messaged me on the site to sign up as well.

I'm in. How do I know when it's my turn?

AlphaOmega. Can't wait guys. I''ll see you all there :]

Where?

Sign my ass up. (H0RSED1K)

I've been getting this question from a few people, so Mori maybe you can add a shortened version of this to the "Questions" section in the first post.

But here's how the tournament works:

1) When a new round starts (Round 1 should start on June 8th), all not-eliminated players are added to their games automatically. Your game will show up under "Games Waiting to Start" on the "Your Games" page.

2) Every player will have 2 days to change their CO and country choice (Adder is the default CO).

3) After 2 days, I will auto-start all games. When it is your turn, the game will show up in the "Your Turn Games" page like it normally does for every other AWBW game.

For those of you who have played in the League, it is very similar to that. The only thing you have to do as a participant is pick your CO and take your turns. Hope that clears it up!
