Rules:
There are four rounds, each of which lasts 2 weeks. This is to give people a chance to schedule a time together, which could be tricky. If this is not long enough, PM me and we can make something work. You may play your matches sooner if all players agree to it, but I will be reminding people when their round is scheduled to start. You may also split your matches up over multiple days if that is more convenient.
Each match consists of 6 games, with each player going first twice. This will require you to do the Making Fun dance, which is fortunately easier than previous iterations.
After the match, one player will post the results in this thread, stating which match it was and the results of each game, preferably with game logs to alleviate confusion. If game logs are not included, please use the following format:
Game 1:
1st – [Player 1]; 2nd – [Player 2]; 3rd – [Player 3]
Game 2:
1st – [Player 3]; 2nd – [Player 1]; 3rd – [Player 2]
Etc.
Scoring will be as such, for each game:
8 points for 1st place
4 points of 1st place tie
2 points for 2nd place
1 point for 2nd place tie
0 points for 3rd place
If they choose to do so, the three players with the most points at the end of the season may play a playoff match to determine the winner. Otherwise, the player with the most points at the end of the season wins.
Please do not resign or quit. Any game not played through to the end will be counted as incomplete and will have to be replayed. If you believe that the outcome of the game (all three places) was inevitable, and all players agree, you may include it in your results.
If anyone has a problem with the rules, please PM me. If enough people disagree with a certain part of the rules, I will be happy to change it. If a player wishes to drop out, they will be replaced.
Original post (for posterity):
With all of the talk around new online tournaments, I've been interested in getting a 3-player online tournament going. If there's interest for this, I'd be willing to organize one, or if someone else wants to that would be cool. The biggest issue would probably be scheduling, and therefore my idea is to have the matches be less frequent, maybe one every 2 weeks. Depending on how many people are interested, this could go on for a few months, which is totally fine. I also know that many people really have an aversion to 3-player games, so that's another advantage of the matches being less frequent, so players don't get sick of the format.
Ideas for rules include:
3-game matches, with each player going first once
Each player is guaranteed to play each other player at least once, with possible repeats as necessary
Scoring can be weighted in such a fashion as 5 points for a win, 2 points for 2nd place, 3 points each for a tie
A playoff match between the top 3 players after the regular schedule is complete
No resignations or quits; any game not played through to the end is invalid (this is much more important in 3P)
Any other suggestions that people might have
If I'm running this tournament, I'd be fine with not playing, although I'd love to see some streams. Let me know what you think of this idea and if you'd be interested in participating or helping out in any way. This also doesn't have to start right away, maybe after Limetime's current tournament is done.
