Welcome to the Eye of Judgment Manager World Cup. In this tournament we are going to determine which country has the best Eye of Judgment player.

Selection rounds
In the selection rounds, we will determine which player will be representing which country. This will be done via tournaments per country. For each country we will create a tournament in the tournaments module to which only players can register that live in that country. The winner of each country tournament will go to the real EOJM World Cup.

If you are the only player of your country, you will be put on a list of 'single player countries'. All players from the 'single player countries' will have to play a separate tournament from which a number of winners will go the real EOJM World Cup. The amount of players from the single player countries that go to the World Cop is based on the number of players we need to fill the group stage of the EOJM World Cup.

World Cup rounds
The EOJM World Cup will use a similar scheme as used in the soccer world cup, starting with groups of four players that play all other players in the group. Then the winners and the second place of each group will continue to the next phases, which are single elimination battles where the winners of one group play the second place winner of another group until the finals and the game to determine the third and fourth place winners.

The prizes
The grand prize for the first place winner is the Edin Figurine.

Futhermore, there are a lot of prize vault credits to win. Everyone who makes it past the group rounds of the actual World Cup will get one credit. Every additional round that a player wins till the finals, he earns another credit. In the end, the third place get one additional credit, the second place gets two additional credits and the first place gets three additional credits and of course the Edin Figurine.

The game playing rules
Deck building rules are the basic EOJ deck buiding rules with standard board layout. All matches between two players in the selection rounds and the group rounds of the World cup consist of two games. Each player is allowed to go first in one of these games. If in a specific country or group more players end up in the first place, an additional game is played to determine the winner. The winner of a country (or group within a country) is the person with the best score, which is decided by number of wins -/- number of losses (non played games are also treated as a loss). If there are more groups within one country, the winners of each group have to play against the winners of the other group(s) to determine the overall winner of that country.

In the elimination rounds, the players play three games. Each player is allowed to go first once in the first two rounds of the game, while in the last round of the game the player that goes first is randomly determined.

Conflict
In cases of conflicts, please contact Shadowken, msetten and/or SkahT. They will deal with conflicts and their decisions are final. With regard to disconnects, the person who disconnects looses the game, unless both players agree to replay the game.

The qualified players are:

France: Baadshah
Croatia: Habanero
Argentina: SoDaReTuRnS2007
Italy: Orla30ITA
UK: DJAbacus
USA: Drizzle
Sweden: sjabth

Netherlands: Vamp
Spain: Dempireon
Poland: Korhazz
Austria: Triforce85

order of who goes 1st in what match will be pre-determined by group order (highest ranked player goes 1st in 1st match)

This is an amazing idea. Italy favourites? What if you come from a principality (rather than a country) which is the case with Wales.

nice tournament and I'm happy it is announced a lot before starting. I'm applying for Belgium of course!

You can’t give the timescale for the first round as you’ve mentioned, but have potential problems if only open for short time as away for most of the 2 weeks this starts. Let me know if you think should not register as don’t want to forfeit and have wasted spot somebody else could have taken

Another great tournament idea guys

If you have a lot of Belgian entrants you could spilt them into Flemish and walloons. The U.S.A. could be split into Confederates and Yankees.

LOL. I don't think that would help much. By timezone would be more useful or at least east and west with a line drawn down the middle of the country.

your are really following what's going on on the European land

! All Belgian players I know here are flemish, so I don't think we should be seperated in more groups

.

There could be problems due to Sommer vacation starting.

That is why their is such a large period in which games can be played in the country selection rounds. This large time period should make it possible to get all games played. If you know that you will be on holiday, announce it early and take action yourself to schedule games before and after your holiday.

With regard to splitting up other countries, that will not happen. The only exception we will make is for the US seeing how much larger that is compared to single European countries and how many members we have that come from the US.

Count me in for Belgium.

I haven't had any other requests yet, so yes Belgium is the first.
