@djensen

Sounds like a great idea.

I have had a bit of experience in running both online and live tournaments across various games.

I have a few suggestions.

Use games that have built in timers.

For games that do not, use tournament rules and instead of a time limit the game last X rounds. (I have found in the past players are less likely to drop if the game a ser amount of rounds as turtling and 20 round slug fests cannot occur).

With versions:
1914 has tournament rules and is the most balanced at 6 rounds of play. Bid of around 12 to CP.

Revised with tournament rules from WBC is awesome and again is most balanced at 6 rounds. Bid 3-5 allies.

Anniversary 41 scenario has tournament rules in the works and this would be a great platform for it to be tried and tested. Very excited for these rules.

I am sure there are others but the above I am very confident that they are great options.

One more time, this is a double elimination tournament which I think is a beautiful thing. You won’t be knocked out of the tournament just because you got paired up with the best Classic player in the world and lost in 2 rounds. You get another chance to rise from the ashes

If more play against more players in more of a round robin type thing is desired, I suggest we play this double elimination tournament and if you’re itching for more and want to see what you’re made of, we can kick off a 2025 league season.

I would also suggest, if Classic play starts in the league, that the game results from this tournament be counted as regular season league games for 2025, because more data is better than less. This is what we’ve done in the A&A.org league for many years (count tournament/playoff games).

Feedback is welcome, but of course we will only be doing things one way when it’s time to start!
