Just some points/thoughts That i would like opinions on

1) I feel we should let greyhaze play he does seem quite excited
Ok, if we have to

2)We will need clearly defined rules which apply to everyone across the board including
I agree and the orgainizers can get together to make sure this happens

a)timetable rules eg games must be played within 1 week of match being posted..
Yes

b)what happens in the event of a no show?,
They lose.  Sometimes you can extend the time for some games.  It is usually up to the organizer to work these issues out.

c)how are points allocated in a draw or no show ?
I propose a double elimination style tournament, so points are not an issue

d)what occurs if an acceptable time for a game cant be reached by both players?,
You roll randomly to determine the winner

e)do we need a 3rd party present to ensure fair game play ?
No need.  Most everyone is good sports.  Make sure that everyone makes a log of their games, so if there is an issue, the organizers can review and make a ruling.

f)is it the responsibility of the 3rd party to point out wrongful play ?
Most people who watch the games help with some of the rules anyways.

g ) can we get someone else to ype these out as my punctuation is atrocious?
Yes, I can do that.

3)Do we limit entries to a certain number?
We don't have to, but I believe it is up to the organizer to say how much they can handle.  I will probably limit the US tournament to 32 players

4)Do we make it that all bands have to be submitted b4 the beginning of tournament can begin and are these then posted publicly at time matchs are posted
Yes and I have a great way to do that

5) I think anyone involved in the organising if they wish to play must submit bands well before anyone else does, so as to avoid any issues with metagaming
We can submit our bands to each other early to verify we are playing fair.

6) I want to make sure this is open to all people interested so we should make sure to post on all message boards leading up to tourney
Each area organizer should post to all the boards.

7)I think we will need a uniform way of reporting match results that would be easy for all to understand
and we may also need somewhere to post all results Faragdar's warband challenge result page looks good so maybe something like that
I currently orgainize under the same blog site as Old Coast and the Battleground tournaments.  Here is the link

Each organizer can create their own blog page to track everything.



OK thoughts .....and feel free to email me kvierow@hotmail.com

Here is what I am thinking.  Four major areas (US, Canada, Europe and Other) compete within their own areas.  The top four from each group play in one tournament.  I still like the idea of double elimination format.  This keeps us from getting bogged down in alot of players not playing because they have two or more losses in a swiss format.  Also it can be alot quicker when you get to the final rounds.  I will send you an email on the formats.  I will send you an email soon with more info.

Shouldn't the number of people determine how many regional champs they produce? I don't think Canada has as many players as the states. Can this be sorted out better once all entrants have been determined?

Raland, I'll leave Canada in your capable hands. I'm being kept busy with a lot of projects and wouldn't be able to give this the proper kind of attention - as I forgot to check in on this thread for the past several days - for example.

Before I answer on tournament type, what is double elimination? Is that where you can lose your first match, but the next match you lose you're out?
