The basic idea of the stage strike tournament comes from other games where people can play on multiple stages. The idea is to get a stage (map/template) that both players generally like, but not giving too much of an advantage to either one.

Your list of 1v1 templates will be used when you are put against an opponent. Alternating between your list and the opponent's list in a cyclic fashion, templates will be struck from the bottom of the list until there is only 1 template left*, which will be the template played in your match.

*Note: The Semifinals, Bronze Match, and Gold Match will be best of 3's, which means that I will stop at 3 templates left.

Templates for this tournament... (In order to make this easier, you may just use the letters at the left of the list)

A: Strat 1v1: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=439126
B: Guiroma: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=434458
C: Season IX: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=434469 (MME)
D: Season VII: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=259967 (Heavy Earth)
E: Season V: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=434466 (Battle Islands V)
F: Strat EA&O: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=174431 (Season III)
G: 1v1 Greece: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=434470
H: GME III: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=439134
I: Turkey: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=439132
J: Qina: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=408490
K: Europe: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=326206

Note: These templates pretty much either came from WSOW, the Ladder, or Qi. The good thing about this is that I can put a few experimental templates in - if no one likes them, they'll always be struck down first, thus being unplayed.

Id like in as well, what do I have to lose? more self respect? Ha, lost that in a fight yesterday.

sorry

Edited 3/16/2014 01:38:59

You guys lose the ability to pick which template you want. Which is a pretty big disadvantage. (By the way I'm joking. No template order means I don't put you on the sign-up.) :P

Template order, please. Because that's the only thing making this special.

Arun, do you want that guy in your group? I mean they didn't pick so they can't really eliminate anything

Sorry was reading from my phone.

How will groups/tournament be ordered?

Most likely it'll be a mix of seeding and random - I don't want to spend too much time deciding who's better at what, but at the same time I don't want the best matches to happen first round/in groups

G-B-A-D-K-C-E-F-H-I-J

YEA!!!!!!

wait what system will it be P/R style groups or just a big bracket with all entries in it?

Just one bracket - but if this tournament is successful I will probably run another one (With a few changed/added templates)

And obviously if I semi-seed the next tournament participating in the previous one would give you some plus points in seeding.
