No Hammer March Madness Tournament
« on: March 19, 2013, 07:03:26 am »
No Hammer March Madness Tournament

A head to head single elimination tournament (if we get enough people wanting to play) open to all DK players.

Each week a draw will determine the match ups. The winners will move on to the next week. If an odd number of players advance(over 3), a random loser from that week will move on. If just 3 advance the finals will be a three way playoff.

It will be one game each with no restarts after the first board. The winner will be the player who gets the farthest into the game. If both players end on the same board, score will be the tiebreaker.

Player one (as determined by draw) will perform one simple movement on the first board directed by player two to establish a live game. When player ones game finishes player two will play his game with  player one picking the simple move.

The games can be played anytime during the week but must be completed before 9pm mountain time the next Thursday. A post to this thread about when the match up will happen and the results afterward is required(we all want to watch). If you can't schedule a time with your opponent it will be 6:30 on Thursday and if you don't show up you forfeit and will be banned from any future events.(if you sign up, play!)

If a hammer is touched anytime during the game the game is considered ended at the completion of the previous board.

If you are interested post your name to this thread.

First round pairings will be announced March 28th

Player one (as determined by draw) will perform one simple movement on the first board directed by player two to establish a live game. When player ones game finishes player two will play his game with  player one picking the simple move.

Seriously? If anyone ever tried to stream a a replay for one of these contests they would be tarred and feathered, permanently banned from participation in any future CAG related event, and then I would personally take a shit in their pillow case.

I don't like the implications this rule brings with it.  It shows distrust, and I hope to God no one in this community would ever try to pull some nonsense like streaming a recorded score for a live event.

Ross I'm trying to incorporate an idea that ChirsP brought up before the wildcard rematch and was discussed  that heads off any potential problems.

I have one concern about the integrity of this tournament, and a solution to offer.
  I don't think anyone would cheat and if they did I believe we are on the same page as to the punishment.

However there is an element that leans toward the conspiracy side of things as evident from the video of Steve's DK submission. I didn't hear you complain about having to say your name before each game in the wildcard rematch and that was also an anti cheating measure. If you decide to play it comes down to what your opponent wants to verify you are playing live. The rule also encourages interaction between the players and visiting each others stream. I've had a blast playing in the tournaments and am just trying to keep it going and have some fun, hope this clears it up.

When is this going to start Jeff? I'm definitely interested in playing but several of us will be in Chicago for CAGDC this weekend.

I wanted to see if people were interested before setting a hard date. Since many of you will be in Chicago this weekend how about we plan to start a week from Thursday.

I don't think I've ever played a game of no hammer in my life. I'll have to practice, and I'm kinda nervous that I'll humiliate myself, but what the hay.... count me in!!! #nofear!

Didn't mean to rain on the parade Jeff.  This should be fun for everyone involved.  Actually now that I think more about it, forcing both players from each pair to be present before either of them starts their game is probably the easiest way to adjudicate things.
