Notes from the organizer: It's that time of year again!
Slightly later than normal (because last year's was VERY late), 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 previous 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 as a wiki page/Excel document. 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), Dave Robjohns (2021), and Stu Harkness (2022).
Any questions, feel free to ask.
