March 14th - April 1st
The rules will be simple and the scheduling of games will be flexible.
*NEW*
Each participant will play 8 games over a 3 week period. This gives each player a chance to face every other contestant once. Once you have played your 8 games, the amount of wins you have accrued will determine the victor.
*NEW*
After each game is played the victor will take a screen shot of the final game stats and upload it to the appropriate gallery on the forums which can be found here:
http://www.1stepi.com/forums/index.php?action=gallery;cat=5
Please place in the description the names of the two people involved in the battle.
Results will be posted on the main page as soon as I can but no later then 1 day.

Whoa Whoa Whoa. No Artillery? Well there goes my gameplan...
No artillery makes it so much for interesting and tactical. If not then people load up on howitzers and mortars and camp. No fun there.
Can there be 2on2 games?

Then place a limit on Artillery, don't just abolish it. Without artillery you are removing a vital piece of combined arms, not to mention drastically changing the gameplay.
I'm reloading NTW on my computer right now so I will review the artillery situation and come up with the guidelines.
I'm prepared to get wrecked by everyone.

Just disallow howitzers and mortars then - I think the regular cannons are just fine.
I bring my humble strategic knowledge, which his grown since Age of Empires first came, and offer it as competition for all!
-PS: The only reason you beat me Law_Lawl is because Argus kept making us do those restricting rules. I hope to see you upon the battlefield and rectify these doings.
Oh ya, I need to be a good sport... so, Cheers! :D
You mean restricting rules such as... DISALLOWING ARTILLERY! It's called NAPOLEON total war for christ sakes. What would Napoleon think if he heard you weren't allowing his beloved guns to fight with his armies?
The roster for the tournament participants is updated. As soon as I get NTW up and running on my machine i'll post the official rules. Artillery WILL be allowed but there will be certain restrictions. Basically no mortars or howitzers. Stay tuned.
No, I mean: Argus made me use exact formations of disadvantage against our opponents. I had half the men Lawl had due to replicating single battalions and trying to work together to smite grander foes... I rather don't like cannons myself, but I know how to use them regardless. :P That's not the kind of restrictions I was talking about. I don't use cannons to win, I usually don't use them altogether.
I updated the original post with a new structure. The tournament rounds were not working out since we did not have enough players for everything to split up evenly for a final 1v1 championship. This new way will take some time but you have 2-3 weeks to coordinate and play games against 10 other contestants.
So when does the tournament officialy begin?
Updated with the start date of Monday, March 14. The tournament will go through the 28th of March.
Just letting you know that next week is finals for me so I won't be playing anything until Thursday at the soonest.
Modified again to reflect more time. Tournament games will cease on Friday April 1st and stats will be compared even if you haven't completed all your games.
Gallery created for game screen shots of the final battle statistics.
If you forget to take the shot then the game is disqualified.
Official Tournament standings is on the main page of our website. It will be updated daily as games are played.
Tournament starts in two days. Get the steam names you need.
Tournament has begun. Each player will need to play 11 games now since Merius was added last minute. The victor of each map is responsible for taking the screenshot of the end stats and posting it in the gallery.
Have fun everybody!
I just got Napoleon total war, so I'll join as well if it's not too late.
So do we just challenge someone to a fight, and then fight that person?
Also: I'm gonna have to do all my fights on weekends. I have too much school work to do them on weekdays. So if you want to battle me, scheduale it for a weekend.
Anybody know glysrandir's steam name? I've messaged him and tried to ask him on TS for it, but no reply. He's the only one on the list who I'm not friends with on steam.

Yes, you are responsible for contacting and playing each person on the list. This way everyone has a chance to go against each player once.

I'll put you in for the next one. I wanted to keep it at 10 games per person but I slipped Merius in since he posted before the tournament began.
On the next one I may have two separate groups and then have the winners of each group play each other in a championship.
My N:TW has decided to start crashing once every 1-30 minutes, so I dunno whether I'll be able to take part in this.
You have a couple weeks so if the problem persists after a reinstall or something then i'll remove you from the list. Keep me posted.
I'm free tomorrow(Wednesday)! I'll be crack'n down on yall's steams and spamming you for battles tomorrow!
...be prepared.

First Battle, first victory. I submitted the picture to the gallery... it apparently has to be approved first. :o

I fixed the permissions. You should now be able to bypass the whole approval thing.
Rethmeier 1-0 !!!!
Lets get these games played guys. I'm working on a prize for the champion so get out there and do glorious battle!
The problem with the crashing is my GPU getting insanely hot. I'm going to be opening my computer and checking out the problem - hopefully that'll stop the crashing in Mount & Blade as well.

My crashing problem has been fixed with the most elegant of solutions:
Putting a massive fan next to my open PC case.
Did a match against Koppari. 1-0. Woo.

Cheap :P
Yeah, I was using fusiliers as line inf... He didn't enter melee once (except for an attempted cav charge, which ended in 50 of them dying while charging uphill and the other 10 routing)

Well I did get like 300 of your fusiliers with cav alone.. So i think it was worth it. :D
Standings have been updated on the main page as of 3/20/11.

Likely so they aren't missed on the scoreboard...
nah, it was a permissions thing. It's been changed
Oh....I'm wrong?
Wow
Scoreboard updated as of 11:58am EST.
You may want to drop Glysandir and Adler from the tournament. Neither of them are active at the moment.
It looks like its down to best of 8.
Hmm i have yet to buy napoleon total war although i do have empire
is it worth it or should i just buy shogun2
Scores updated as of 3/24/11 at 12:49am EST.
I've played Reth, Azrooh, Avoric, and Velo. Serrow, Killfreak, Furnie, and Merius, find a time to get our games in?
Tournament ends on Friday. Currently Reth and LawL are tied. If it ends with 4 wins for them both there will be a tie breaker game.
Hrm. I have learned that 8 to 10 games for a tournament is a bit much. Next tournament will have 3 rounds so you only have to play a maximum of 3 or 4 games depending on participation.
I may need an extention for my games. The shit really hit the fan this week and I'm going to be busy...
Someone should sweep through tonight, play everyone, and steal the win from Reth or Lawl :P
Well its looks like we are going to have a tie between Reth and LawL since this tournament closes tomorrow. To determine the winner they will face off in a final match at a time convenient to them.
Next tournament will be a little less bulky and awkward.
Tournament Closes at 4:00am EST on Saturday April 2nd. This should give our west coasters until midnight unless my math is wrong. All game stats should be submitted to the forum no later then this time.
It gives us until 1am.
Math is hard.
yup. I know.
Seems like I fixed my router/modem problem. A bit late though. :-\
haha that's alright.
Congratulations LawL_LawL!
I forgot to post winner...but I'm sure you guys knew anyway. :P
What a freak. No one should be that good
Oh noo!
Yeah, he's pretty awesome.
