You have to post in the specific thread.

Mine is open (I believe it is the post above you). Sempai's is open as well (see the first post). Serreski also opened one today.

I don't agree with the idea of extra ballots - I strongly believe it should be one ballot per person.

Can we extend Top 10 to Top 15?

I didn't participate fully in years 2 and 3, but got back into year 4 and now year 5.

I did play in the US Vs World after year 1. That was the all-star event. I finished 15th that year, and maybe 1-14 aren't even on the site. So if there are 5 players not on site anymore from year 1, does that mean I get bumped to be able to vote?

Just curious. I like all the thought going into this, it has been quite an experience over the years, and I am glad it is still ongoing.

Congratulations to Flang for becoming the first player to win a TPA5 tourney!
Now that we have a completed tourney, we have a scoreboard!
Links to the scoreboard have been edited into the OPs of all posted TPA5 tournaments, and into the OP of this thread.

Oh sorry I was not clearer but the scoreboard shows the TPA points in the column labeled Jack of all trades. And nothing in the column labeled 6 cities.
Not that it really matters just something I notified.

The scoreboard I'm looking at shows the points where they should be.
Look again?

When I click the link ITT for the scoreboard the points I see are in column V and are labeled Jack of all trades.
Six cities tournament shows as column U and has no points.
I guess the issue must be on my end,as noone else seems to be seeing it, so sorry for wasting your time sempai.

Huh. I clicked the link without having signed in to Google and for a moment, I saw what you're seeing - but then it finished loading and appeared as it should be.
Not sure what the issue is there, but it's an interesting one.

There should be a tournament out shortly, I apologize I thought I already had this week's covered

by **Silly Knig-it** on Sun Dec 14, 2014 1:20 pm

The major was for the 1st and it is posted. We are 2/3 filled.

I would love to get it started. Anyone who knows somebody please suggest they check it out.

Very user friendly to someone new to tournaments and lots of competition for experienced players.

The All-Star Skills Competition sign-ups and Fan Event will probably start either tomorrow or Wednesday - we have not been able to give the event as much time as we expected to these past few weeks, and will need another day or so to polish up the final details.
We apologize for the delay, and thank you for you patience.

In case anyone is interested in the format of the Main All-Star Event (and also as a reminder for me):

The main event of All-Star month will be a 19-game tournament, with each game having been inspired by one of the TPA5 tournaments.
Games will go out in 6 batches - 5 batches of 3 games and 1 batch of 4 games - and will be sent out in the order of posting of the tourneys they were inspired by.
For tourneys that use multiple maps, settings, and/or scoring systems, the map, settings, and/or scoring systems for the relevant game have been randomly selected from among those used in the tourney.
For tourneys where players specify home maps and settings, Random map will be used, and settings have been randomly chosen.
For tourneys that do not use any kind of scoring system, I have come up with a scoring system that I think is appropriate.
The maps, settings, and scoring for the games will be as follows:

Batch 1:
Six Cities Tourney - 6 players, Assassin, San Francisco, automatic, sequential, escalating, parachute, fog, no trench, 20 round limit.
3 points for winning, -3 for an incorrect assassination, -3 for being killed.

Jack of All Trades - 2 players, Poly 3, Madness, automatic, sequential, escalating, adjacent, fog, trench, 20 round limit.
1 point per win.

Escape from the Islands - 4 players, Standard, Celtic Nations, automatic, sequential, escalating, chained, fog, no trench, 20 round limit.
4 points for 1st place, 3 for 2nd, 2 for 3rd, 1 for 4th.

Batch 2:
MC's Your Kidding Me...Right? #7 - 8 players, Quadruples, Random, automatic, sequential, flat rate, chained, fog, no trench, 20 round limit.
1 point for being on the winning team, 1 point for eliminating an opposing player.

10 x 10 = 100 Years - 10 players*, Standard, Canada, automatic, sequential, escalating, chained, fog, no trench, 30 round limit.
10 points for 1st place, 9 for 2nd, 8 for 3rd,...2 for 9th, 1 for 10th.

Classic Cities Conundrum - 3 players, Standard, Classic Cities: Jakarta, automatic, sequential, escalating, chained, no fog, no trench, 20 round limit.
4 points for 1st place, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd.

Batch 3:
Grab Your Win! I - 12 players, Terminator, Random, automatic, sequential, escalating, chained, fog, no trench, 20 round limit.
1 point per kill, 1 extra point for winning the game.

F1 - 8 players, Terminator, Far East, automatic, sequential, escalating, chained, fog, no trench, no round limit.
8 points for 1st place, 7 for 2nd, 6 for 3rd,...2 for 7th, 1 for 8th.

Master of AOR - 2 players, Standard, Age of Realms 1: Might, automatic, sequential, nuclear, adjacent, fog, no trench, 20 round limit.
1 point per win.

Batch 4:
MC's Random Dubs - 4 players, Doubles, Random, automatic, sequential, no spoils, chained, fog, no trench, 30 round limit.
1 point per win.

States of the Union - 2 players, Standard, USA New England, automatic, sequential, escalating, chained, no fog, no trench, 30 round limit.
1 point per win.

Angola Loves Classic V - 8 players, Standard, Classic, automatic, sequential, escalating, chained, no fog, no trench, 30 round limit.
12 points for 1st place, 7 for 2nd, 6 for 3rd,...2 for 7th, 1 for 8th.

Batch 5:
Mad in USA Play With Your Settings II - 5 players, Standard, Random, automatic, sequential, zombie, chained, fog, no trench, 30 round limit.
10 points for 1st place, 5 for 2nd, 2 for 3rd, 1 for 4th, 0 for 5th, plus 1.5 points per elimination.

Federation Internationale de Ski - 2 players, Standard, England, automatic, sequential, escalating, adjacent, fog, trench, 20 round limit.
NOTE: Each player will play 2 games with these settings - each player will be red once and green once.
For Red player: 0 points for loss, (20-x) for win - where x = round number (ex. win in 8 rounds, earn 12 points)
For Green player: 0 points for loss, 16 points for winning in 4 rounds or less, 12 points for winning in 5-8 rounds, 8 points for winning in 9-12 rounds, 4 points for winning in 13-16 rounds, 0 points for winning in 17-20 rounds.

USA Map Pack dubs/poly - 2 players, Poly 2, USA Southeast, automatic, sequential, escalating, chained, fog, no trench, 20 round limit.
1 point per win.

Batch 6:
Cracking Nuts with sempai!! - 8 players, Terminator, Christmas, automatic, sequential, escalating, chained, fog, no trench, 30 round limit.
1 point for winning, 1 for most kills, 1 for most CC points earned through kills (in case of ties, each tied player will receive 1 point).

MC's Christmas Quads - 8 players, Quadruples, Christmas, automatic, sequential, no spoils, chained, fog, no trench, 20 round limit.
1 point per win.

IPL 2015 Triples - 6 players, Triples, Random, automatic, sequential, no spoils, chained, no fog, trench, 20 round limit.
2 points per win.

*For games where the number of players per game is not a divisor of 48, players will be randomly chosen as needed to play extra games for which they will not earn points. These players will be referred to as "placeholders." No player will play more than one extra game, no game will have more than one placeholder, and no one will play a second extra game until everyone else has played one.

The player with the most points once all games have ended will be declared the winner of the Main Event, and will receive a General Achievement Medal and A FULL YEAR OF PREMIUM!! (the latter possibly in the form of credits)

Congrats dukasaur, well deserved my friend. Congrats to everyone else as well and thanks for putting this together for us semp. It's very much appreciated bud.

by **sempaispellcheck** on Sun Feb 01, 2015 8:30 pm

I don't imagine too many people will be surprised to hear that the Casual Speed Competition is the first of the Skills Competitions to finish. (Yes, the Sweeping Competition involves bot games, which are over quickly, but the players have to create their own games, and some people need to be reminded)

Congratulations to Gawddog, of the Junior tier, who won 2 out of 3 games in a total of 4 rounds (2 rounds per game) to win the Casual Speed Competition!!
Congratulations also to magneto_acolyte, who won 2 out of 3 games in a total of 5 rounds (one game in 1 round and the other in 4 rounds) to take top spot in the Standard tier!!
Each player will receive a General Achievement medal for winning their respective tier, and Gawddog will also receive 500 Conquer Credits for winning the overall event!!

Updates on the other events will be provided as they finish.
