Nomad Wars Duos - 2v2 mixed 'Nomad' style tournament - in aid of Homelessness

Hello all, I am happy to reveal my next tournament! First off though, I just concluded hosting my first AOE2 tournament which finished last month. A 1v1 Nomad only open to all elos and spread out across over 6 brackets. The tournament was very well subscribed and we had over 200+ people sign up. I was very surprised. My initial plan was to limit brackets to 32, but I decided to let people sign up to extend the tournament. There were 487 total games of Nomad played so there was a **** load of different matchups with the settings of the tournament. I am very happy with how it went and I am now pleased to be moving on to my next edition of Nomad Wars.

Nomad Wars Duos is a 2v2 event using the standard DE 'Nomad' style maps. This will be a CHARITY event! In Nomad we spend our time looking for a place to our TC and quite often or not we need a helping hand from someone else too. Because of the nature of Nomad, it only seemed right to have an event in aid of Homelessness. Homelessness is quite a terrible thing and a lot of the people affected by it are quite misunderstood and marginalised. The Winter is a terrible time of year and I couldn't imagine doing it on the streets. It's time for us to help out some people with Nomad gameplay IRL.

I'm aiming for $500, but I'm confident we can smash that! I have created a JustGiving page which will deal with all of the donations separately, I will have no power in touching the donations in case anyone has any concerns. Even if you don't participate ANY donations would be much APPRECIATED https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/nomadwarsduos

The charity I have chosen is for Emmaus. Emmaus is a charity aimed at providing work and housing opportunities for the homeless whilst improving outcomes for individuals effected and society as a whole, you can find out more here - https://emmausglasgow.org.uk/how-we-help I'm really hoping everyone can get behind this event and try make a difference for some less fortunate.

Ideally that would be an end goal to have a Masters of Nomad, I don't know when and it's going to take some big $$$, but it's a goal of mine.

 

Sign ups going alright so far, about 45 teams signed up across the brackets. Could do with plenty more though!

 

Sign up update

6 in sub 1k
16 in 1k-1.25
34 in 1.25k-1.5
13 in 1.5-1.75k
4 in 1.75-2k
3 in 2k+

Sign ups close at the end of the month. Would be great to have at least brackets of 8 in the ones with the least sign ups, and get up to 16 in 1.5-1.75k.

Nearly $250 of the 500 goal raised already before tournament starting.

 

Oh, and I meant to mention. We have a custom map mod under “NWDuo” removing the treaty issue thanks to TechChariot.

 

Signs up close in 3 days on Dec 31st (NYE). I will prep the brackets and they will be released on stream Jan 2nd with tournament start on the 3rd.

How we’re looking:

Sub 1k: 7 teams, 14 players
1k - 1250: 21 teams, 41 players
1250 - 1500: 43 teams, 97 players
1500 - 1750: 15 teams, 34 players
1750 - 2k: 6 teams, 14 players
2k+: 6 teams, 13 players

213 players signed up in total. In a totally ideal world we still need a few sign ups.

As an absolute minimum.

1 team for sub 1k.
1 team for 1500-1750.
2 teams for 1750-2k.
2 teams for 2k+.

Bracket placement is subject to change upon checking of accounts. I’ll guarantee entry for EVERY team, provided there’s no shady business going on.
The handbook is available at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oYR0otDAxxZfQAmhv6-7FqbY4VJ8TLcl/view

 

Goal reached and over $1k donated. Great work by the AOE2 community.
