GARGANTUA'S $200 TOURNAMENT OF EXTRA DEATH AND PAIN (TripleA Only) 2xELIMINATION

[JDOW]

I would really vote for a simple system which gives at least theoretically a chance to finish the tournament withing 6 months.

Thus I definitely prefer SINGLE ELEMINIATION and - please don’t hate me for that - just one game per round.
I also vote for normal bids then - this would at least reduce the raffle effect as e.g. Axis lovers don’t need to play Allies by chance and “just” need to offer very high bids to get their beloved side.

I still like the idea to simultaneously play 2 games with switched sides, however I don’t know what to do in a 1-1 situation. I think a 3rd game would definitely take too long and I am not sure how a tie breaker could be found to make a rather quick third game.

I just learned from the previous playoff brackets that even 8 players single elimination took more than half a year.
And please keep in mind: the league takes a year and everybody is totally fine to accept the league champion who also “just” played 3 single elimination playoff games.

A single A&A game takes very long already, I simply think that this (imo) disadvantage should not be enhanced by a complex and probably bloated tournament system.

my 2 cents.

ELIMINATION

Hello Gents.  I have decided to end my sabbatical from this site, mostly due to the urging of my buddy Boldfresh, and of course, out of respect for Garg and his tourny.  And, I’m getting tired of playing the Euro-losers on DAAK…

I’m in.  Seth the Noob is my partner. GLAHF.  Death and Pain to you all.

Like too late for me to join? I would not mind joining in the loss bracket. Or if anyone has a partner who dropped from the tournament I would gladly fill in.

If we win against bad dice we will accept your challenge in the pit cow.  How you been?

[Cow]

[Cow]

Anyone need a partner?

[Cow]

Will update my playbook after. I have a new G1 opener I always do. :)

[boldfresh]

I know you’re obsessed with Cow, but why are you making it harder for us to win the tourney?  There’s $200 at the end

Ha - if we don’t play a lot better than in game 1, it won’t be our choice

i would almost pay 200 just to see those two play together on the same team.
