Update:
Based on the number of signups the format was changed. See posts from here on for actual infos and rules/scoring.
No signup required. Players will be assigned randomly to teams each game. Watch out for the colors to identify your team partner in each game.
For transparancy I kept the original posts as they were. I hope it is not too confusing.
If we should find a time outside of Luxtoberfest to play some clan games based on the original rules and the founded clans I would still be happy to host it. But the tournament format was changed as we did not find time shedules to match every clan.
-----
The basic idea:
several clans will play 2 vs 2 vs 2 and 3 vs 3 games on different castle-based maps for the royale castle crown.
We will build up at least 3 clans (based on number of applications maybe more). Signup is required to play!
Signup:
You can sign up till 06th of October here in the forums or by pm to me.
Later applications are still possible but they might not be accepted then.
With your application you agree to the rules and you agree to be present for the games.
Each player has to play a certain minumum of games to be rewarded.
Please send us also a suggestion for a cool clan-name with your sign-up. The best suggestions for the clan-names will be choosen by the mods and you will be added to your „own“ clan. All other applications will be picked by the clans or added by the mods to create mostly balanced teams.
Please only sign up, if you really have time to play (!) It is a team game. Becomming afk during the tournament punishes your team! Quitting the tournament is not sportsmen-like. If you will have only limited time, but want to play nevertheless, then let us know already with the application.
preliminary shedule (subject to changes):
depending on the numbers of signups we might cancel some of these days and do a smaller tourney instead. These are the possible Dates.
10.10.2017 2 vs 2 vs 2 games round about 2 hours
13.10.2017 2 vs 2 vs 2 games round about 2 hours
15.10.2017 2 vs 2 vs 2 games round about 2 hours
18.10.2017 2 vs 2 vs 2 games round about 2 hours
20.10.2017 3 vs 3 games
27.10.2017 3 vs 3 games
29.10.2017 3 vs 3 games
in order to keep the time under Control we could Play with a time Limit and in case of a Marathon we could devide remaining points under the players alive (runded down).
We will play round about 2-2,5 hours each day (2 hours each day, but started games will be finished, maybe with a time limit)
All games will be at 11am Pacific / 2pm Eastern / 7pm London / 8pm Berlin / 5am (Sunday) Sydney
Basic Rules:
We are still working on the final rules, but what we have so far:
1) Each team needs to have at least 2 or 3 players present for all games. We play 2 vs 2 vs 2 and 3 vs 3 games.
If one player is missing at the start of the game, the game will be played 2 vs 2 vs 1 or even 2 vs 1 vs 1 (at 3 vs 3 games we play 3 vs 2 or even 3 vs 1 in case). There will be no bots.
There will be points for each place, so it should be in your own interest to have all players present (else you can get points only for the present players!). Only if a player becomes afk during a game, (s)he will be replaced by a bot..
2) Each clan has to nominate a captain and a deputy, who can take decisions for the clan and interact with the tournament host.
3) CHAT-Rules:
- don’t use any offensive language in public chat. If you get heated just stay calm and better say nothing. Offensive language will be punished after a first warning (e.g. deduction of points) and we even reserve the right to exclude players from the further tourney if they are still not able to to stay under control. Hopefully this will not get neccessary
![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
- it is strictly forbidden to give players from other teams any strategic advices. Discussing your own team strategy in a private chat room is allowed and is highly recommended. You have to Setup private Chat rooms on your own.
- Agreements between two clans are forbidden. Teaming of two clans over several games is forbidden (but adhoc teaming situations to balance the board is ok)
- do not comment moves from other players you did not like (don't blame others in chat).
4) Newbies are explicitly welcomed. Help them to learn the game. Newbies are expected to listen to experienced players.
5) Guest out when you enter the tournament host.
further rules on work

The mods keep the right, to do any decisions and changes depending on the number of signups.
----
The basic aim should be to end on the first places, but there might be situations where it is better to kill your teampartner in order to take his cards in order to win the game (1st + 3rd is still better than 2nd+3rd). So we will hopefully have interesting tactical games. It is a TEAM game. So moves that would usually be „targeting“ of a player can be a legit part of the tactics here. Playing for places can take place. Don’t get frustrated. Be a teamplayer and try to play not selfish! There will be no individual Rankings, only Team results are what counts!.
Now it is still time to bring up suggestions and ideas … but there will be no changes after the tourney has started (unless all team captains or deputies agree).
Some private notes:
I have no real experience hosting team games. But I want to do this as I think that team games are great fun and too rare here in Lux. I do not have a Version to host automated team games. We will have to do a lot by hand. Not everything will be perfect. Please help to make this a fun event.
This IS NOT the Castle tournament Snyper established. It is based on his ideas, but it is NOT the original Castle Tournament and shall not replace it!
We will listen to suggestions, but it is usually not possible to fullfill all wishes. We need to keep the things simple.
The time for preparation ist short and we do not have the time that would usually be needed, but we will give out best to make an fun event. I hope we all will have some great fun!
