OK, I'll take the initiative and put in the work to run this.
Sign up here by midnight Central Daylight Time Sunday, July 19 to be included. I will post the first bracket on Monday, July 20 and the tourney will begin as soon as it is posted.
Rules:
- Brackets will be determined by random draw of names out of a hat (or other convenient container
).
- If there are odd numbers of players I will work them into the brackets although they may have to fly more or less rounds than other players. They will be those chosen last in the random draw.
- Duels must be arranged between the players by PM, IM, e-mail or other means to take place by midnight CDT Sunday following each bracket update (6 days).
- Duels will be best of three.
- First duel plane selection will be assigned using a random number generator to select from all availble fighter and fighter/attack aircraft. This will be done individually for each set of duelers.
- The loser of each duel selects the aircraft for the next duel. This allows the loser to pick his/her best aircraft to get back into contention and if it goes three rounds each player will have had one plane selection.
- All duels will take place in the DA canyon area.
- All duels will be 25% fuel loadout with players choice of gun package and convergence.
- All merges will be guns cold.
- All merges will be co-alt at 10K until within 3K distance at which point a merge break can begin.
- Anything goes after the initial merge.
- In the case of a draw (both run out of fuel for instance) that duel will be re-fought using the same aircraft.
- Both players will film all duels in case of a dispute. (I need 3 volunteers to potentially review films and serve as a dispute committee)
- The losing player will post in this thread after the duel series in the following format:
Plane - Winner
Plane - Winner
Plane - Winner (if needed)
- This information must be posted by no later than 12:00 midnight Central Daylight Time Sunday following the posting of the updated bracket so that I can get the brackets updated and re-posted on Monday.
- If a player does not show within 15 minutes of the arranged time they forfiet the series. In that case the winner by default must post a screenshot of the DA roster showing that the opponent is a no show no later than 12:00 midnight CDT Sunday following posting of the updated bracket.
- If a duel cannot be arranged between the players or nothing has been posted regarding results in the alloted time one player will be selected by random draw to advance to the next round.
- The initial bracket will be posted on Monday, July 20 and each Monday thereafter until a winner has been determined.
