Here we go folks...
If you feel after reading the rules and regulations, I have left something out, or you disagree, or don't understand something, lets get it fixed before we start.
I will draw the pairings on the 19th.
This is my first time running a tournament, so please be kind if I make a mistake.
I didn't come up with a title yet, so if there are any suggestions...lets here them.
I know I suggested a double knockout format earlier....but after reveiwing the layout....it would take about a year to complete. I think the format I have will give everyone lots of enjoyment with a mirrored format.
I have a attched a copy of the rules in MS Word format if you would like to have one for yourselves.
Here goes:
2004 CS Tournament
General rules:
• All players must be able to know how to PM (private message), attachment of files to the forum, editing his own replies, and the zipping of game files.

• All optional rules must be turned on for all games by both players.
• Only vehicles or units with an abililty to fire can be used in combat situations.
• No-one shall try to draw OP fire with a unit that does not have combat capability unless it is loaded.
• Each player will attach his turn to the appropriate forum thread, and edit that same thread to post a new turn, while deleting the previous turn. There should only be one thread per player in the designated forum for turns.
• Each turn file must be zipped before attaching to your thread.

• The tournament has 16 players, so it will be a total of four rounds. 8 players knocked out in the first round, 4 will be knocked out in the second round, and 2 more in the 3rd round to decide the two combatants for the final round.
• Each player that completes a round will receive 40 bonus points per round. The runner-up will receive 60 bonus points, and the grand champion will receive 120 bonus points. Almost as good as a trophy!

• Second and third round pairing will be decided by seeding based on scores of the previous round. (1st plays 8th, 2nd plays 7th and so on,. and so on .)
