Fortress-For-All

What the FFA is

The Fortress-for-All tournament is a Fortress competition inspired by the Fortress Brawl, Ladle, Spoon, and "pickup" games. The idea is to get players who don't always have the opportunity or the will to play in the Ladle to experience the intensity and excitement that comes along with it. Frequently, in the Ladle, a team will sign up with well over 6 players (the minimum required to have a team) and only 6-7 of those players actually get to play. The others are forced to spectate with stars in their eyes wondering when they'll be able to play on the big stage. Well, that's what the point of this tournament is. Anyone, whether you have a clan/Ladle team or not, is encouraged to participate in this tournament. There are *NO* previous requirements to sign up.

How it works

Anyone who wants to play is more than welcome to sign up. There are going to be 72 initial spots to sign up. This will equate to 12 teams of 6 players each. Once the allotted 72 spots are filled up, there are to be a remaining 12 spots to sign up listed under "Substitutes". If for any reason a player chooses to withdraw themselves from the tournament, the first signed up substitute will be bumped up into the Players list. This will allow a new substitute to sign up at the bottom of the list.

*Read Carefully* In addition to signing up as a Player, 12 people need to sign up as a Captain. Anyone who wishes to be a captain may nominate themselves, but please - be very knowledgeable about fort and willing to put in the effort of organizing your team to it's highest capabilities.

The Captains are going to meet in the IRC chat room #armagetron.tourneys the Saturday before the FFA to "draft" teams pickup-style. What this means: The 12 Captains will take turns choosing from the pool of 60 players. A random draft order will be assigned to the Captains ranging from 1 to 12, and the picks will go 1-12 | 12-1 | 1-12 ETC. If a captain fails to show up to the drafting of players, a new player will be asked to step up and the captain will be placed in the "players" pool.

After the initial 72 players are divided into 12 teams on IRC, the captains will choose from the remaining 12 Substitutes to bring their team to 7 members. The teams will then be posted on the wiki page and practice/preparation amongst teams may begin.

Signing Up

Please post your Armagetron name below. If you're confused on how to do so, look at the example below. If you would like to nominate yourself as a captain, you may sign up in the designated area below regular signups. Just because you sign up doesn't guarantee that you will be a captain, it merely indicates that you are willing to do so. Captains will be chosen at my discretion based on who I believe is most fit to organize a team. *Note: You must sign up in BOTH "Players" and "Captain" section if you wish to be a captain. You cannot be a captain if you aren't one of the first 72 players to sign up.
