Notes from the organizer: Setting this up on behalf of Andy SC - please direct any queries / selections regarding the tournament to him.
Welcome to the third edition of the People’s Choice Weakest Link. In a tournament where any format goes, expect organised chaos and just about anything else you can think of.
Last time out Dave Robjohns came out as the victor of the course of the 37-rounds. You can view how it all went down here: https://www.apterous.org/to_meta.php?meta=5463
For the tournament you are required to pick a format and a bot that will be used as one of the rounds in the tournament. You can pick any format that appears on the high scores page: https://www.apterous.org/statland.php?section=highscores - Please submit your choices to me (Andy SC) via Aptomail. Anybody who fails to submit a format and bot to me prior to the first round starting will have a format and a bot randomly selected for them.
This year there will be just a slight difference - players will not be required to also select a format and a bot for the three finalists to play. Other than that, everything else remains the same.
Now here’s the rules on gameplay:
- The lowest scoring player will be eliminated in each round.
- If there is a tie for the lowest scoring player in any round then overall tournament score will be taken into account.
- If there is still a tie then everyone else will advance.
- If at least half the players in any round tie for the lowest score then everyone will advance.
- Everyone will get two games in Round 1 and Round 2. This is to allow everyone’s pick to be played in the tournament.
- If no player is eliminated in a round then I will pick a format and bot for everyone to play against at the next available opportunity.
Round 1 will start on the 7th July. Round 2 will start on the 9th July. Round 3 will start on the 11th July. Each round after that will start the following day from the previous one. Each round will have a one week time limit. Players are encouraged to play their games at the earliest opportunity. I’ll add games as quickly as possible when possible. So please keep an eye out for any games that you might have to play.
Please try and play games in one sitting.
Good luck and if you have any questions please ask.
