2nd FGH'40 Tournament

[avisnigra67]

In the first tourney, only the winners in each group played more than two of the maps. This time I plan for everyone to play all four maps. The winners in each group will form a A-final group playing semis and then final, just like before. New will be that the losers of the semis will face each other playing for place 3-4. In addition, runners-up in each group will form a B-final group playing for places 5-8, while those in 3rd place in the group games form a C-final group and those in 4th place from a D-final group.
Thoughts?

I am in support of this as you said this allows everyone to play on all 4 maps

Definitively, I think it's a good idea to play the 4 scenarios. That's the way to demonstrate who's the best, letting no space to chance.

I think every ones going to up there games against the 2 favourites king t and zaveric ? Think if possible cave you should seed these 2 to keep them apart like they do in the World Cup draws

Actually, I've been thinking of letting all four semifinalists from the first tournament to start in separate groups.

That's a logical desition. I think the best players in any kind of game deserve such treatment...

Thanx for counting me in, looking forward to some very interesting games!

[peterjfrigate]

I'm in!

I'm in!

Great!

Now we got just 1 place left.

[cavehobbit]

With just one place left to fill and one week still to find a player, I think we can start anyway. This gives us an extra week to finish the group games.

Groups and maps have been randomly drawn. You find the groups and which maps to play in the group games, semis and final here: viewtopic.php?f=115&t=52290&p=489383#p489383

You may challenge your opponents in any order you'd like. Remember to post your challenges here in the forum and as a pm to your opponent.

Good luck and have fun!

Nice Sunday surprise. And some great groups of death there, should be some fun games.

I'll put up all my Jandrenouille games for all my opponents, both Axis and Allies. (Pass kingt for all). GL all!

Later edit: 6 games up, 2 for each opponent, I'll also PM each of you.

[kingt]

More than half the challenges posted right now are FGH battles for the tournament. That should be enough to motivate one more player to join.

[peterjfrigate]

My remaining Jandrenouille challenges are up.

Dear Glen: Wow! since this moment I'm under pressure!

Lol, thanks for the vote of confidence there but I'll say these are all groups of death here, and anybody can win.

If you play a game against someone not participating in the tournament, tell them we still have one place left to fill. I have sent pm's to some people and waiting answers, but the first to sign up will have the vacant place.
