Your Tournament Rules

[Gantry]

I'm curious to know how everyone conducts a tournament.  Here are our rules:

     - 4 Teams play a double round-robin
     - No All-Star teams
     - You alternate first pick of team
     - Top two records go to finals
     - If tie for 1st or 2nd, you go head-to-head record
     - If still tied, total runs in head-to-head games
     - Finals is best of three
     - First choice of team in game1 is rock-paper-scissors
     - After that you alternate first choice

It's a relatively fair system, only random part is the rock-paper-scissors in the best-of-three finals.  Would like to revise that to possibly top round-robin team gets choice.

So what does everyone else do?

Bump...

How about the belt series champs?  How do you guys handle tourneys?

 Most our tourneys are with 3 people, so we have a round robin, to see who gets 1st round bye, then double elimination, or top 2 play in 3 out of 5.

3 out of 5 matches are usually for the Tengen Title or the Atari Title Belts.

Teams are always drawn out of a hat, we recently allowed all-star teams to be used, there is nothing like taking down an all-star team with a team like Houston. Huge power ranking points.

A player who holds a title in that league may redraw one time if he doesn't like his team.

In our RBI Title matches the finals are always best of 7, and must alternate playing on the Nintendo,  and the Atari machine. usually like 2-3-2 series.

I would like to hear what others do also, but with 3 people tourneys are options are probbaly pretty limited.

Tomorrow after that football game thats on T.V. we are having a pretty big R.B.I. night. We are having 2 double elimination tourneys one for Tengen Title, one for Atari Title, 2 winners play for R.B.I. Title.

I'm looking to take the title from my little brother(Burnsky), he always beats me in the Atari games. I will take him down one of these days.
