!...YaP...! Home of the Young Aged Propers!

Hello and welcome to YaP's mini roper tournament hosted by SchizoWorm for Worms World Party.
Mini tourneys are quite fun to compete in because they are comprised of a small group of players which gives you a fair chance of actually winning it. Also, they do not take very long to complete, usually only 2 - 3 weeks or so, or even sooner if you get knocked out early.
If you are up to the challenge, we are looking for at least 16 experienced ropers to join and compete. The tournament will start on October 2, 2003 and end on October 16, 2003. We are currently accepting players, and will continue to until the tourney starts, or until we reach our max player count.

How To Join:
If you are interested in joining, goto our Tournament Forums hosted HERE, and post in the thread the following details about yourself...

Tournament Briefing:
The tournament will be configured of 8 pairs of players the first round, 4 pairs in the 2nd round, 2 pairs in the 3rd, and then the 2 finalists will play the final games against each other. Make sure you check this site when the tournament starts so that you will be able to see which player you got paired up with.
You will also be sent e-mail notifications for each round you play that tell you who your opponent is and how many days you have to play your games. Players will play best out of 3 games against each other. The winner of the game moves on to the next round, and the loser gets dropped from the tourney.
In the final round, the 2 finalists will play best out of 5 games for the victory. Players have 4 days to play their games for each round.

Reporting Games:
Games are to be reported at the end of each round by the winner in the xYaPx tournament forum located HERE. Simply create a new thread and post the details of the games so that Schizo will be able to add the information to the tournament pairing grid on this site.

These are the rules and penalties to follow the next turn(s) , that you must obey while playing your roper games...

Penalty: Get 1 crate, do not attack.

-No Firebombs.
Penalty: Do not get any crates or attack for 2 turns.

Failure to play by these rules will result in immediate discharge from the tournament.

Tournament Rules:
Lagouts are always a tricky thing to deal with, mainly because you can never tell if someone quit or if they actually lagged out.
So this is how it works, if someone lags out the game must be replayed. If someone had a bit more health, or a bit less, use the health handicaps to make the game a little more fair. If someone was about to die, please be a good sport and just give your opponent the victory instead of replaying the game. Use your judgement to decide whats fair, and both players must agree to how to fairly deal with the situation.

If you don't have time to play best out of 3, rather than just forfeiting you can ask your opponent if you can just play 1 game, and winner takes all. However, both players must agree to this.

Both players must agree to the scheme used and the map used. If a player objects to a certain map, you must change it. However, if your opponent is only content with a noob map you have the power to select a more difficult one.

Enjoy playing the tournament and make sure to exercise good sportmansship. Remember, play well, win well, and lose well.
