1st Place - Your choice of a one hour session (play or training, your choice!) with Prize Eh or Prize B
2nd Place - One hour session (play or training, your choice!) with the rejected prize. :lol: (Let's be honest though. 1st or 2nd place, there are no losers with these prizes!)

FREEDOM of MAP Principle
For any set game at any stage any map can be played. But both players have to agree. As soon as one player doesn't agree, the map of the respective game has to be according to the match settings below. The set maps are exclusively standard maps. Players can also decide to play a map in Regicide or Deathmatch mode under the conditions of this principle. The random civs setting is indisputable for this tournament and hence not touched by the principle.

There has been some confusion on home map selection; To clarify, home maps can be ANY Standard Map, even if the map has already been played in series

Imo, you guys should contact Taff to give you a sub-forum (perhaps under the NAoC one), because otherwise the General Tournaments area will become so clogged up with scheduling threads that it will be unusable for other purposes. Just a suggestion Only Taff or PkZ can do it afaik.

 

[kary]

I just send a PM to the guy on voobly. Guess others should do the same and than just announce the match...
BTW gracie you are so evil matching me with that RacerFxx guy, he is 15xx strong 11.

I told so to Gracie days ago :|

I'll move all existing topics there as soon as the sub-forum is set.
