Rules

AA50-41
Latest Rules + FAQs
NO - Yes
Tech - No
All other optionals are off
Single elimination
72 hrs per turn. � Bump rule in effect for all games.

We will list top 4 seeds from last years no-tech tourney (Spring 2011 - if they sign-up) and the rest of the backets will be assigned randomly.

Notes:
If the 2011 tourney isn’t finished when we start I’ll base the rankings on a combination of how far they got in the 2011 tourney and 2010 tournament results. � I may also consider using the League and/or Gamers rankings to round out the top 4 (if needed).

I’ll also try to place players with conflicts in separate brackets (siblings, other issues, etc) if possible. � Send a PM if you have a valid request.

Choosing Sides

You will be bidding for the Allies.
Full placement bids. � Standard bid rules apply (can only place bid in spots where you already have units, etc.)
You will bid in IPC, but you can spend the bid on units once bidding is completed.
Bidding will be done in an Auction Style to keep everything in house.
Once brackets are assigned I (or another mod) will do a random roll for each round to see which player will start the bidding (either top player on bracket or bottom). � The players will then bid down until one player concedes the sides.

Example
Player 1 - I’ll play the Allies with 9
Player 2 - I’ll play the Allies with 7
Player 1 - I’ll play the Allies with 6
Player 2 - You win, you can take the Allies with 6

Tentative start date will be Feb. 20.
Official schedule will be determined once I know how many players we have. � Assume 2 months per rd.

We may cap participation at 16 or 32 depending on participation. � If there is overwhelming interest we may add in another play-in round.

Here are the official rules for time delays and the bump rule (from the League):

5 - 5a - Time Limits - There is a 72 hour time limit per move. However, play can be paused for a total of 21 days, for whatever reason, without penalty by simply posting the need for a vacation. Please specify the duration of your absence in your game.

5b - Weekend Players.  If you can only play on the weekend or on certain days, please state so.

5c - 72 hr warnings:  If 72 hrs goes by and no post from your opponent simply post “bump”, which creates the �warning�.  (Note:  only post “bump” in your warnings to make it clear you are issuing a warning.  Do not add any small talk or other game talk in your warning post.)

5d � �Bump� warning and consequences � Each “bump” warning resets the clock for another 72 hrs.  However, on the 4th “bump” warning the offending player will be disqualified and declared the loser for that game.  (Note:  You get only 3 warnings per game.)  You must post the warning when it happens (or before the next move has been made by your opponent).  Enforcement is left entirely up to the players. However, you cannot retroactively issue a “bump” warning.  (For example, if the game is in round 8 you cannot go back and issue a warning that occured in round 7).  “Bump” warnings can be issued for posting of partial turns (ie someone only posted their purchases), OOL requests, map questions, etc. But they follow the same 72 hr requirement.

5e - If a turn is not posted within 9 days of either the previous turn post or the end of a predetermined “vacation”, then the player failing to post may be declared in default and lose the game

Wow, getting quite a few TripleA players.  I thought we might struggle with getting 8, but it doesn’t look like it.  Might even have a lot more.  :-D
