Title: Announcing El Crapolo
Post by: johnbart on August 01, 2020, 09:55:46 pm

I'm pleased to announce El Crapolo, the first ever multi-tournament event celebrating crap games! Be part of the best of the best by competing in three events, each highlighting ten crap classics from previous crap tournaments.

To keep things fun and fresh each event will be using a new multi-round format that will minimize grinding and keep the competition fierce and exciting! Each event will also honour part of the rich history of crap tournaments and highlight the contributions of the event founders.

There will be t-shirt based prizes for the top five finishers in the overall event. In addition, the overall winner will earn the name El Crapolo and will have a custom badge added to their profile celebrating their victory.

Overall Format

There are a total of three events, all following the same format and rules. Each event will be scored out of 100 and event scores will be combined to calculate the overall winner. Each individual event will consist of three rounds. At the start of the tournament four games will be revealed for the players to compete on for the first round which lasts a week. Round two will also last a week and will contain a different set of four games. The third and final round will only last two days and will consist of two games. Competitors will not be able to submit scores for games in previous rounds once a round is over. This will limit the amount of grinding that can be done on a given title. Standard crap tournament submission rules will be applied to each event.

The Events

Bill Holmes Invitational - September 5th - 20th
CAGDC Classic - January 9th - 24th
Von ZerBarr Open - March 13th - 28th

Just a heads up that we are a little under a week away from the next El Crapolo event:

CAGDC Classic - January 9th - 24th

The event will start at midnight UTC on Saturday January 9th so that's Friday for North American players. The same 3 round format is on top with 4 games in rounds 1 and 2 for a week each and then 2 games for the final round over two days.

Tune in to find out which Crap Classics make it into this event!

- Butasan

Man I used romset butasan not butasanj with v183 for Round 1 - is that a dq? EVZ submitted his score over at TG and I didn't notice the rename til I saw it.

Don't worry about it. Honest mistake and not a big deal for a crap tournament and it's unlikely to effect overall standings.
