Hi, community
The moment is coming and very soon will be reality the
"League of MAN2 2019" tournament.
We will publish the tournament in website for
inscription around November, 15.
In this preview we would like to explain the main features of this new format of tournament.
1.- It will be a different "Divisions" tournament. Each Division will be the group where the players will be included for play an "All vs. All" format.
2.- We will have
3 different Divisions in this first edition of League: Honor Division, First Division and Second Division.
3.- Honor Division will have 8 players and First and Second will have 14 players.
4.- In this first edition will be the glicko score at the end of inscription period the used variant for include the players in the different Divisions. In the next editions glicko-score will not have any role for this inclusion.
5.-
In First and Second Division (14 players) will be 13 games playing only 1 side by opponent (red
or green).
In Honor Division (8 players) will be 14 games playing both of sides by opponent (red
and green).
6.- Each player will have associated
an icon with its Division before the League starts. These icons work visually like the awards in tournaments section of website.
The wonderful icons we will use (
you can see in attached image) were designed by player "
zxcvcxz". I hope you like them as much as me.
7.- Before the start of games all the
Divisions will be ordered randomly for assign a number by player. This order will be crucial for to know the pairing of the different rounds. In First and Second Division it will give the side too.
8.- Games will be divided in 3 different packs for avoid a high number of games at once:
1st pack: January 2019
2nd pack: March 2019
3rd pack: May 2019
In attached image you can see the tables of pairing by pack.
9.- After the League's games are finished will be the moment for
"upgrade" or "degrade" players between Divisions:
The 2 lower scored players in Honor Division will be degraded to First Division.
First Division will have double movements:
2 higher scored players will be upgraded to Honor Division.
4 lower scored players will be degraded to Second Division.
The first 4 players in Second Division will be upgraded to First Division.
10.- This new "acquired" rights will be used for the inclusion of different players in Divisions for following editions.
11.- Map of this first edition will be
Anubis and settings used in games will be the usual for tournaments:
-Density medium of allies
-10 turns of revenue
-Infinite in-game time limit
-10 days of chess-clock and 23 frozen hours
I hope this new tournament will be well received by the whole community. Really all the players could take part in it because Divisions give the chance of play similar level's opponents and each one of us can set our own goals (win the League, be upgraded, don't be degraded, be in the top 5 of Division, etc...)
And remember, the most important thing is enjoy our wonderful game!
See you there!
