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
Darth,
A question, What happens if both players want to play as the Allies for 6 IPCs and neither is willing to go below six, do you then roll for sides, or is it just whoever says, “I’ll take the Allies for 6.” first gets the Allies.
Second question: If one’s opponent is willing, may one suggest before bidding, that the IPCs be a limited-placement bid? Such as, Limited to bidding for Chinese infantry units only, with any leftover 1 or 2 IPCs going to the Allied player’s choice of country?
Hello, gang! I am a new member here, but I have been watching the forum voyeuristically for a few years. :-o I want to sign up for this tourney! It will be my first one online or anywhere else. I have only played one-on-one with a friend in person for a while.
I am going to go study some over-the-forum games to get up to speed on how that works…

Alright we got 32. That’s it! :-D
JWW volunteered to be an Alt.
Any late sign-ups (between now and start) will also be Alts.

#1 - There shouldn’t be any ties. I will be rolling a die to see who bids first, so that player may have a slight adv but will set the starting point, and from there you must go lower.
#2 - I’d like to try and keep the bidding uniform in a tourney atmosphere. So no unique placements/requests.
I’ll just do the match ups here.
The only set placements are the top 3 seeds.
#1 - DY
#2 - DutchmanD
#3 - Zygmund

how do you tell who is the higher seed (for starting the bid purposes)?
I apologize for the late back out but I will have absolutely no time to compete in this tournament. Had a lot of things just come up in the last week. Once again sorry for the late post, good luck everyone.

Okay, no problem.
I will substitute JWW in for Gharen.

Just to be official,
The Tourney has started! :-D
You can bid directly with your opponent via PM and start your game right away. One game has already started.
Depending on when people are on-line it may take a day or two to complete your bidding, so start bidding. :-)
As always, games are played in the Tourney Forum.
Okay, last adjustment.
Due to a sibling conflict (bigredone and spiral architect), I’m swithching the bigredone-Mrgreen game with cousinjoe-JWW game.
