    Hey folks -

    I'm Justin from Robot Entertainment. This tournament is a great idea! How about I throw in a Robot Entertainment prize pack for whoever wins the tournament? Robot hats and shirts, and some in-game content for the winner (this will vary depending on what the winner already has purchased). I'll even throw in a Hero Academy shirt (these aren't even available to the public!)

    Sound good?

    EDIT: Also, do you guys mind if I promote this out a bit on our social network outlets to find more players? Or would you rather keep this to "local" TA members?

    Sure Justin, that sounds great. We'll hold the tournament open say another 5 days or so or until we get 21 players (7 person brackets, each person plays 6 games per round, 3 rounds -- i.e. everyone will play everyone once, 1/2 point buy if an odd number drop). Looks like we are up to 8 or so folks already. Sound good?

    If I'm going to run the tournament, I'll have to forego a shot at the prize, but that is ok -- you can give me a promo code for your next game. Or you can take over the administrative element if you want too, I dont mind.

    By the way, I think its fine for you to play in the tournament as long as you do it openly and are not eligible for a prize. In fact, I think it would be great if you do so.

    would be interested if the numbers of players would swell a bit more.. a tournament between a handfull players is not much fun.. so kudos if robo entertainment can stirr some additional contestants into the pot..

    un: macish


    would a simple knockout tournament not be alot easier and especially faster? min. 1 move a day across 21 players and a multitude of games.. this can take ages especially if robo entertainment pushed the event a bit and the numbers of participants could rise alot..

    *shrug* knockout sounds like an easy and fast way.. loose and your out.. win and you go one..

    Nope, elimination tourney for just 16 people takes 4 rounds; we are playing a 3 round "round robin" style tournament. Single elmination is also way more luck based. Its pretty easy to play 5 games at a time (I have over 10 going and I work long hours), so no reason to hinge elimination on just one game.

    We are up to 13 players -- I am now aiming for 18 or 24, so we can have either 3 or 4 groups of 6 in each bracket.

    If we have 18 players, I think we will play a pure 3 round "round robin" style tournament. If we have 24 players, I think we will play a modified round robin, with the 3 bottom finishers in each round robin group of 6 players eliminated prior to round 2.

    If we have a lot more than that, I may ask for help from someone to handle half the bracket.
