Just for the fun of it (and to put JSA's list from here:
http://warlight.net/Forum/Thread?ThreadID=58319&Offset=0 to use), I am going to do a competition based on the states. Here are the rules:
Round 1 - Players from each state will compete in a RR (I will limit this to first 10 people to sign up from a given state to limit the size) to win their state. Format will be 1v1 Ladder template.
Round 2 - State champs will compete in regions to go to the national tournament. This will again be 1v1 ladder format (but on MME), with a RR between the following state champions...
Regions (12):
NW - WA, OR, ID, MT, AK
SW - CA, NV, UT, AZ, HI
Mountain - WY, UT, CO, NM
South - TX, OK, AR, LA
Plains - ND, SD, NE, KS
SE - MS, AL, GA, FL
North - MN, WI, IA, MI
Central - MO, IL, KY, TN
Atlantic - SC, NC, VA, MD, DC
Valley - IN, OH, WV, PA
Metro - DE, NY, NJ, CT
NE - VT, RI, MA, ME, NH
Round 3 - National Championships with the winners of regions. This will be on 3 formats (1v1 Battle Islands, 2v2 Guiroma, 3v3 Europe) with most total points in Round 3 being crowned the winner.
If you are interested, please let sign up here. I will attempt to contact some of the smaller states, but the larger ones will be first come first serve. Please list what state you are competing for (to make it easier). Also, I may combine some states with little interest and possibly shift some states into another region (to make RR's a decent size). For example. If NE only has 5-6 players total for all the states, I will combine it as a single state and roll it into Metro region. ID/MT may have to be combined. States with a single player will have to be folded into another so we don't have 'cheap' champions. I will have to decide that after I see participants sign up.
