Wrong question. Who do you think is going to get second place?

Those who oppose:

Fear leads to Anger.
Anger leads to Hate.
Hate leads to Suffering.

I sense much fear in you.

Can I change my Team's name to Tropical Depression?

I named all my ships after meteological phenomena.

Well if Kenshin pmed his, thats 12 people. Still a good even number to work with.

I did.

Problem is, I wouldn't be surprised if CmdPrompt had planned to do a knock-out style tournament, since that's what was custom at the Penny Arcade Forum (well, the first forum he was exposed to BSF on).

16 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1
12 -> 6 -> ?3?

If it's going to be a 16 fleet Round-Robin, that's 120 battles. And that's allowing for a single battle every match-up. Not best out of three. That's 240-360 battles, which is far out of the question.

If it's going to be a 12 fleet Round-Robin, that's 66 battles, again allowing for a single battle every match-up, not best out of three. That's 132-168 battles, slightly better, but still a heavy load.

I vote for a 3-man Round Robin preliminary followed by a knock-out tournament (if we have 12 fleets), or a 4-man Round Robin preliminary followed by a knock-out tournament (if we have 16 fleets).

That's either 30-45 battles (for 12 fleets), or 54-81 battles (for 16 fleets), best out of three.

I'd like to see some sort of knock out bracket. I think the round robin/knock out that you proposed is the best.

I'm at my aunt's for Easter and I have work tomorrow, so I'll take entries until 5PM EST.

I'll decide how to run it at that time.

Although now that I think about it, we'll do a 4 round swiss followed by 4 man playoffs most likely.
I think its called swiss at least, where people with similar win-loss records play each other.

Best way to help me get it correct is to PM me a picture of how you want it set up, just to make sure.

I'm not able to access any of the ships hosted on Mediafire.
If those of you who hosted them there could either rehost them or check if you can download it I'd appreciate it. I don't know why mines failing to download.

Edit: Never mind, appears to be working now
