How about a "big" turnement , running over a weekend where the players should meet in 4-5 diciplines like the CCC's. But not teambased.
Like a grand slam off Civ4 once every 4. month or so
Would be fun if we could get 60-80 or so players to join.

All the funnest sort of games are team-based, for one size of teams or another. I think most people prefer that.

Hi, I have hosted enough tournaments to do a Swiss style tournament, which would run over several weekends. Ive been reading up on it. In this type of tournament, every player plays in every round regardless of his or her match results. (A player may withdraw from the tournament after any round if they no longer wish to compete.) Each win counts as one (1) point, and each loss counts as zero (0) points. There are two types of swiss style tournaments. "Regular and True".
Regular:
The tournament is finished as soon as there is only one player remaining who is undefeated. The number of rounds is set before the tournament in order to specify a maximum number of players. If the tournament is set for six (6) rounds this does not guarantee that there will be six rounds of play, since players withdrawing from the tournament may shorten the number of rounds required to reach an undefeated player. If for some reason after the given number of rounds has been played and there is still more than one undefeated player, the tournament will be extended in order to determine a winner.
True:
In True Swiss System format, the TD presets the number of rounds before the tournament starts and regardless of the number of registrations, the number of rounds does not change once the tournament begins. (The TD can still manually change the number of rounds prior to the tournament.) After all the rounds are complete, the player with the most points wins. If there is no conclusive point leader there is no winner of the tournament.
Difference between True and Regular Swiss System:
If you have a tournament set for 8 rounds of play, and you have one undefeated player left after 5 rounds, in a True Swiss System tourney play continues, giving those who are behind a chance to still win the tournament. However, if the tourney was being held by Regular Swiss System rules it would have been over and a winner declared as soon as there was only the one undefeated player remaining.
So I may be setting up a "True Swiss System" tournament in a couple of weeks, which will run over several weekends. I would like some input on wether or not this might be popular tournament format, and an indication of how many people might be intrested in playing
Thankyou.

Actually the event Tamijo speaks of is the World Singles Championship. In Civ3Palyers, they have run it three times I think. I think we need to make sure we have adequate types of games that work well in the 1 v 1 format. I think they usually had 3-4 prelim events with the top eight meeting for a final three round tourney for the title.

I think that a World Singles Cham tournament using a Swissy style tournament with a different 1v1 match for each round with the winner having the most points would work well. If there was a tie we could just run a separate tournament for a play off.
