i'd like to get a friendly TDS tournament going. it would be a single-elimination format with first to win 5 games for the round of 16, and first to 10 games thereafter, with maybe an extra stipulation in the final of first to 10, win by 2. The seedings, which will determine the first round matches, would be based on the blockstats ratings of the players at a pre-specified time before the tournament starts. Blockstats chat could also be used to choreograph the games, while major announcements would be made here at TetrisConcept. Unless anyone has other ideas, there would be no prizes for now other than bragging rights among the tetris community. Please reply if interested. Unless there is an enormous or weak response, spots will be limited to the first 16 and i reserve one for myself, so 15 open. I would like to get this to happen sometime in the next 2 weeks.
one thing that would make the seeding easier to manage would be if everyone could include their blockstats badge in your signature, that way come tournament day, to fill out the bracket we just have to look at this thread. i've noticed several signatures at these forums that aren't displaying. the syntax i'm using isi got this from the billmaan thread) Code: [img]http://www.blockstats.org/memberimage/a7a12ae6219136cc13b4fd6289dda.gif[/img]
I can't consistently beat level 5 CPU, so I'm not sure if I'll make it even past the first round, but I'm in as TC-Pino just for the CENSORED of it. But if I come in last, do I get the booby prize? (safe for work)
I'd be interested in taking part, although I'm in the UK so time differences may be an issue against US/Canadian players that only play in the evening. I haven't played on wifi for a few months, but my rating is around 7100 from memory.
