Tourney round: Aegilopsists: 2022: Sign-Ups & Qualifier
Notes from the organizer: It's back! Only, er, six months late, but whatever.
Welcome to Aegilopsists, so called because it's a better agent noun than "Aegilopers". This, as the name suggests, is a tournament taking place in the Aegilops variant. These will all play as 9-rounders. Because they're better then the Old 15 "Aegilops 15" format.
This is similar to, but more serious than, the once-every-10-years "Spoilers" tournament that most recently took place in 2020-21. If you played in that, or in the 2020 or 2021 editions of Aegilopsists, then you'll know what to expect here.
Specifically, the stages are as follows:
- Qualifier - everyone plays Prune to decide seedings
- Group stage - everyone to be drawn into 4 groups, football-style (1x pot 1, 1x pot 2, etc) and play a single round-robin, with the top two to qualify
- Quarter-finals
- Semi-finals
- Final
If we don't get an exact multiple of 4 signing up, Nude, Waldorf, and Plum will be 1st/2nd/3rd reserve, and play a qualifier themselves.
Not too many changes to the rules from last year, only that I will run it either as a Google Drive doc or a wiki page (except the wiki has flagged up Spoilers and Aegilopsists as "pages with too many expensive parser function calls", so probably not). To speed things along your qualifier against Prune will go up as soon as your sign-up is accepted.
The hall of fame is Tom Cappleman (2020) and Dave Robjohns (2021).
Any questions, feel free to ask. Unless it's "why did you disappear for a year", for which the answer is "working full time". And your next question, "won't that get in the way?", the answer is no. Because while some people have Hypergoat vs Rex to keep them coming back here, I have tourney organisationnesses.
