We would like to suggest
that everyone plays as many games prior to the tournament at SDG
as is convenient for them both for practice and so they may be
better matched. The AI player is an excellent way for beginners to
learn the rules, these games do not get ranked and it is still
under development so a live opponent is still the best way to
learn the game. Players who would like to play a tutorial game
should start a cannon game and Put "Dralius Only Tutorial" in the
notes. The data base is also a good reference to see how games are
played. |
Games move time will be set at 2 days. Players should move as often
as they are able to keep the tournament progressing.
Each player will have one week of discretionary time to stop the clock, for vacation, I'llness or emergency.
If you need an additional extension of time it is at your opponents discretion to decide weather
to grant it. Extensions cannot be indefinite; any game that is not
progressing and holding up the tournament will be terminated by the
judge after an attempt to warn the player, with a win being awarded to
the player who last moved.
Since advancement to the next round will be awarded on a win/loss basis only it is
considered good etiquette to resign a game that you clearly can't win.
Players should review the game thoroughly before making this decision.
Once resigned a game may not be resumed or restated.
In addition the 3 move cannon repetition rule is now enforced by the
SDG game server. "No cannon may shift more than three times in a row
regardless of the direction without an intervening move from another
cannon or single soldier." This situation rarely happens since it is
seldom beneficial to stall for long periods.
Entering:
Players may enter by signing up at Super Duper Games
The names of the winner and finalists of each round may be listed
both at PyroMyth Games, SDG and possibly at several other locations not
excluding print. The players addresses and e-mails will be kept private
and only used for tournament purposes.
Players may only enter once. Any one found to be playing under more
than one identity will be disqualified immediately.
