BiggsIRL 6,717 Posted October 30, 2018 All right folks, it's that time of year when we need to start looking at January and the 2019 World Cup! The premier Vassal tournament is going into its 4th year, and as we approach we need to solidify who's going to be playing in the tournament. The tournament each year is 32 slots with a unique Pod > Single Elimination format, with those 32 slots given out to winners and finalists of previous tournaments, and those that finish the qualifiers! This year's qualifiers are going to be simplified: First, here's who is already qualified. Total Qualified: 21 Unique Qualified: 18 Pending Slots - Autumn Tournament Top 4: 4 Open Slots: 10 to 14 How do I get Qualified? Get 21 points playing in Vassal games. Any limitations on this? Nope. Play in a Vassal game, finish the game, post your final score here. Any game on Vassal counts, and adds to your total. I only care about tournament score and not MOV. The other player doesn't have to be participating to give you points, though if they decide they want to, they'll get whatever points they earned from your game as well! Does the current Autumn Tournament count? Yep. Your Round 4 tournament game can be used towards the qualifier. I said no limitations! What happens when we fill up all the slots? There's always someone who qualifies that does not sign up to play, so anyone that qualifies after the slots have been filled gets a numbered "Standby" slot. Those "Standby" slots are brought in to fill slots in the tournament in order of their number (i.e. #1 fills first, then #2, etc.) Any standby slots that aren't able to play in the main tournament can play a side event instead, and get automatic entry into the 2020 World Cup. Bounties? What? Who said anything about bounties? Okay, so there might be a way to earn yourself extra points towards your 21 by being the first player to accomplish some goal. You'll have to watch the thread to see what that goal actually is, and how many points it offers. When does this start? Right now. Any game that finishes after I hit submit can count. Have fun, fly fast, and win big! 3 1 PT106, Darth Veggie, Rikash and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The runner up for 2018, Green Knight, is not only already qualified, but has been a Vassal Terror for far too long. First player to beat him gets 10 million double dollars points added to their total. Note: This is in addition to the points they get for actually playing him.

Thrindal 1,295 Posted October 30, 2018 This was fun last year. My luck hasn't been great lately and Vassal has lagged on movements for me lately as well. See if I can address those things but I hope to participate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zamalekite 387 Posted October 30, 2018 Sign me up too please. I've already got 26 points from the Autumn Tourney and if, by some miracle, I avoid getting totally spanked by @BrobaFett I'll make the top 4 (to then get totally spanked by the rest of the top 4).
