The games have begun!
- Behemoth created awards

(recent updates will be posted in the original message - so re-read regular; the rules my still be changed/modified till the start as i try to implement any good suggested improvement!)
Hi Lux friends,
i took up Capicola's/PJB's idea to establish a "Lux Summer Fun Grand Slam Tournament" on mentors tracking page.
Behemoth created some nice trophies for the winners of each categorie:

Thank you very much Behe!
It will take place in four different single map categories:
- Classic
Online-ranking: http://lux.dc6iq.de/node/31404
Hosts: All classic hosts (Classic Widescreen will NOT count! - it is a technical issue (sorry))
mininum Humans: 5 (maybe i will change later down to 4 if necessary)
- Bio - Deux
Online-ranking: http://lux.dc6iq.de/node/31405
Hosts: ONLY Sillysofts BIO host (technically not possible otherwise) mininum Humans: 6
- Roman Empire II
Online-ranking: http://lux.dc6iq.de/node/31406
Hosts: All REII hosts (Bio option will NOT count!)
mininum Humans: 6 (maybe i will change later down to 5 if necessary)
- Classic Part Deux
Online-ranking: http://lux.dc6iq.de/node/31407
Hosts: All Classic Part Deux hosts (Bio option will NOT count!)
mininum Humans: 5 (maybe i will change later down to 4 if necessary)
and finally one categorie over all maps:
- All maps Grand Slam Winner (over all Categories)
for the first 15 places in each single categorie you will get the following points:
20 / 18 / 16 / 14 / 12 / 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 / 3 / 2 / 1
the winner with most points will be the all map Grand Slam winner!
For each game missing in the minum required games in any of the 4 categories, a penalty will be subtracted.
So if you want to win this you should compete in all 4 single categories!
I will post the final result in September.

there is still to mention:
- I have choosen august because there are no other tourneys.
- it is NOT an official Lux Tournament. It is just about fun and "honour".
- i use mentors ranking page: http://lux.dc6iq.de/. I cannot use other scoring/ranking systems. My scoring is based on his standard Scoring system http://lux.dc6iq.de/node/28 but with more games counting and 2 points for each played game.
- dont exptect too much. Please don't blame me if it no success or if you do not like it. I am NOT a tournament master (like Dustin, Mentor, Para, Snyper, etc.). I just want to give it a try and hope we all have fun.
- there might still be some changes until the start if there are any good ideas. But i think we should not do major changes after it has already startet. So hurry up if you have any great ideas! I am thankful for every help and any suggestions.
=> So please just see it as FUN TOURNEMENT and as experiment. If you like the idea, maybe we can find a professional tournament master (e.g. mentor09) for future tournaments.
So - just give it a try. Welcome to play and have fun!
Constructive suggestions and improvements are always welcome !!!
-> PM to GFips or post here in the forum!

- mentor09 for the ranking page and his advices and helps and giving out awards
- Capi/PJB for giving the original idea

- Para (for making this an own thread and giving advices)
- Behemoth, who offered to create some awards (medals)!
- everyone who helps to make it an success and fun for all!
