im gonna need a ruling if negative points vs 0 is a TT or a win. also how is a TT resolved in single elim?
Presumably the bracket would be seeded vice random, in which case the tie would go to the higher seed per the OPG?

I hope this doesn't mean the rule is changing so that a score of -5 vs 0 becomes a win for the player with 0 points even if no one has non-bonus points. I like that you have to solve a mission or complete a Borg objective to win.

That is fine (that is what the opg says) the rule book says something different. So I want clarification. Also if it is a tie, how does that work in bracket format?

In year's past, the higher seed advanced in the case of ties.

OK! The tournament is posted!

The first 1E Cup!

Once you lose you're knocked out!

For each Full Win you get (not Mod wins), you will win a randomly selected TrekCC Foil! We want people playing for Full Wins here, not Mod Wins. As Gul Dukat said "A true victory is to make your enemy see they were wrong to oppose you in the first place. To force them to acknowledge your greatness!"

In addition, Kris has promised additional prize support as part of the Subspace Series!

We're aiming for 16 players randomly allocated into a bracket (no seeding). Will reduce that to 8 if not enough people sign up. I'll be TD and only play to make up numbers (if we need a 16th player say).

There won't be any True Ties - if a game is a True Tie you get to add on one extra turn each to get a decisive winner!

Sign up here!

Event starts Monday 14th September - 1 week between rounds. Usual online rules apply!
