Good day 'trek fans! With Mother Nature sending us all to our rooms for being naughty, I thought now would be a great time to reanimate my tournament pod system for online play. And what better way to do that than to bring back an old favorite, Spring Stampede?!?

What the heck is this nonsense you ask? Well, the pod system essentially grabs 3 or 4 players at random, assigns them to their own respective tournament, and then those folks play their gig in a round-robin style. It is complete autonomous from the rest of the Spring Stampede events, and since everyone knows all of their opponents in advance participants are given two weeks to schedule and play all of their assigned matches.

I have already input 3 (perhaps we can go for more?) separate tournaments for each game - 1E and 2E - and will host them all as individual events, regardless of the number of players that ultimately sign up. Pre-registration for Spring Stampede is now open and will run through midnight on 3/27/20, at which time registration will close and the players will be randomly assigned to a tournament pod. Final results are due to me via PM or forum publication no later than 4/4/20. If you are interested in play while we all wait out this pandemic fueled lock down, please do at the following links:

First Edition:

2nd Edition:

Good luck, tributes. And may the odds be ever in your favor... :cheersL:

Don't drop yet, Fritz. I will be examining the pod splits this morning and do not believe I am even registered on the 2E side. Expect the assignments to go up in a few hours. #hungover

Greeting Star Trek First Edition Players! Your pod assignments for Spring Stampede - Quarantine Edition are cited below. Please have your games completed within the next two weeks. Good luck, tributes! And may the odds be ever in your favor...

Pod A:
Spectre9
Jon Carter
Michael Van Breemen
Bruce Parrish

Pod B:
Niall Matthew
Charlie Plaine
Kris Sonsteby

If anyone cares, I tried to do the brackets NACC tournament style so I did the assignments by halving the field (based on rating) and grabbing the two middle names from each half for Pod A. Pod B then got the top & bottom from the 1st half and the top & bottom from the 2nd half.
