SIGN UPS ARE NOW CLOSED. ANYONE PUTTING THEIR NAME DOWN FROM NOW ON WILL BE PUT ON THE SUBS LIST. THANKYOU

NEW THREAD FOR FIRST ROUND CAN BE FOUND HERE

INTRODUCTION
Hi. I am going to run a tourney which I am calling the "useful" units tourney. It is my first time running one so let me know what you think about the rules. I plan to get 16 people involved, but if interest is bigger than that I may extend the numbers. As of yet there is no prize for this tourney, but I may speak to the mods and see what happens. It is an unusual tourney, and the rules are listed below

Edit: There is now a prize and the tourney is TAL recognised. Please read below

TIME & PLACE
All games will be played on Rev. Once I have the roster made up I will give players 2 weeks to play their first round game.

METHOD OF ELIMINATION
Each player will be randomly picked to fight against another player. It will be the best of 3 games. The loser is eliminated, and the winner proceeds to the next round.
Edit- In the case of a draw, a fourth and deciding match will be played. And so on, etc if subsequent draws occur in that game

UNITS AND RESTRICTIONS
There are 2 setups which you may choose from. These are either the "useful" setup or the "default" setup. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE THE SAME SETUP IN ALL 3 GAMES. You may change which selection you want to use, however ONLY THE "USEFUL" SETUP IS ALLOWED TO MOVE THEIR PIECES AROUND IN SETTINGS TO CREATE THEIR OWN FORMATION.

Useful setup must consist of:
- 1 Barrier ward
- 1 Furgon
- 1 Frost golem
- 1 Cleric
- 1 Lightning ward
- 1 Stone Golem
And any 4 other pieces you want. Dragons can be selected but obviously count as 2 units. These units may be positioned any way you desire on the board
Edit - Grey drops can be used but not gold drops. Also only 1 cleric is allowed per player.

Default setup consists of:
The default grey setup, with all pieces in their default position.
Edit - A mirror image of the grey default setup is allowed as well. Please see the below post.

OTHER THINGS
Screenshots will need to be provided for all wins, as well as who played who and setups used by each. I would appreciate feedback from anyone with ideas and suggestions for the tourney. Please post your Rev account name and forum name in this thread if you are interested in participating. Also, I will be participating in this tourney, but results and draws will be completely transparent so please don't be concerned about that. Thanks

ADDITIONAL INFO

I have also included below some examples of potential setups which are allowed

DEFAULT SETUP

It MUST be the exact default setup as shown below

However, I will also allow the default setup to be used in its mirror image. This must be an exact copy of the setup below

USEFUL SETUP

Any setup which contains the 6 specified units (LW, BW, C, F, FG, SG) and any other 4 units. A few examples of these can be found below. (Note:These are not necassarily good setups just acceptable ones.)
GREY DROPS CAN BE USED, BUT NOT GOLD DROPS, not that I would recommend it
Also only 1 cleric is permitted per player

An obvious choice

Acceptbale, but you'll lose

Again another acceptable setup but you will probably lose

Thats sort of the point, but I wanted to give people another option as well to mix it up a bit. You only have to kill 4 attack units with a whole grey army if thats the selection you want.

Too. Many. Tournaments. Right. Now.

True, thats why I'm keeping this one pretty small. Plus I've never run a tourney so I dont want it to be too big.

It's okay to have a lot of tournaments. Not everyone has to join every tournament, which is why the TAL is so good, because anyone can gain points if they enter a smaller tourney with less expert players.

I am actually in the process of trying to get this tournament recognised for TAL. I will let you guys know when I get a definite answer. I gotta get 16 definites first though.

Yeah you can use any other 4 units you want in conjunction with the useful units.

I got TAL approval for this tourney, so I just need a couple more people to sign up and I can make the draw.
