'substituitons' may get a little confusing. Really it shoud be as simple as one player entering spec mode as one joins the team.
However I can easily see a situation where eg. the timing is wrong as one person didn't go into spec mode in time, thus resulting in that team having an extra player for a round or so.
Sounds unimportant but what about when the other team loses that round,
'no fair they had extra player' etc. etc.
The maximum number of players per team can be set to prevent this from happening.

Just take a lok at the posts on 'holing' to see that players have different views on gameplay and so how will decisions made by refs be consistent?

One more thing, who ran the last World Cup Tourney? Why is LoD dong it now? Why not just a Wiki sign up page?

(ok 3 more things ) :wink:
The last TWC was initiated by Ady while I was in hospital getting a kidney transplant. When I came out, I helped him. We are both members of LoD.

I have added a "Clarifications" section to the bottom of the rules, which deals with the issues raised here. These are to act as guidance for referees to ensure consistency.

Lists of rules inevitably do not cater for every eventuality and it is down to the referee to make a judgement on those occasions.

Wikis are by design openly editable by all. I wanted a more structured way of taking entries and so wrote the database being used yesterday.

I don't know, it's tricky to work out where everyone that signs up and shows up can play without having a team get slaughtered because half their team didn't show up for whatever reason.

Not that I care, no time for tournaments right now.
I had intended this to be in the rules. Of course, I wrote the "minimum in a team" rule, but forgot about this one. Your suggestion makes sense. Certainly, it does seem rather daft for 1v1 matches to take place.

So... Why exactally do you need my real name and e-mail for a fortress tourney? I mean, I can maybe see why for the E-mail but why would you need my name, and how could you really tell what it is? Just seems like a little too much for me.
You've gone too far, turn back!

The minimum number of players representing a country shall be five. Once the deadline has passed, countries who have fewer entrants than this, but more than zero, may opt to form an alliance with one or more countries that are also short of players.

What determines which country you can play for?

Is it where you were born, where you live, where your parents were born?
Homer: Uh...it's like...did anyone see the movie "Tron"?
Dr. Hibbert: No.

Marge: No.
Wiggum: No.

It's somewhere in the rules, it's the country you're living in. And they're going to check your IP address O_o

I know a bunch of people check the Armagetron Wiki, so I felt it would be nice to add teh 2nd Tron World Cup to the Tournament Hub there.

Don't worry! Everything redirects to your site. It's just an advertisement to get more players :D
