ATTENTION, PLAYERS

We have two important announcements to make. The first concerns the victors. The second concerns (at least one of) the vanquished.

On the matter of tiebreaking: The rules for determining the TR's winner are simple. Most winning team wins (no duh), and head to head breaks ties. But what if teams have an equal (or nonexistent) head to head record? In that case, there will be no further automatic tiebreaking. Instead, all players who have an equal win record and equalized head to head records will be put into a tiebreaker match. Attacker and defender declaration status will be determined via secret GP bids to the admins in Week 6's Results phase (and EXP from week 6 will carry over). In the event more than two leaders qualify for the tiebreaker match, leaders will bid on attacker status, with the lowest bid being considered the defender, and the middle bid receiving no particular bonus. In a triple threat, abilities will be declared in alternating style, with teams declaring one ability costing AP per 'round'. Example

Triple threat: Kanzaris, Kamek, Trdl. Kanzaris wins top bid, Kamek second bid, Trdl has the lowest bid.

Kanzaris declares Dual Tech! Turn passes to Kamek.
Kamek declares Banana Slamma on Crono! Turn passes to Trdl.
Trdl declares Know Your Enemy (Geralt)! Turn remains with Trdl, as AP was not spent.
Trdl declares Void Prison on DK! Turn passes to Kanzaris.

Attackers can defer to let the middle team go first, and may defer again to let the last team go before them. Second place bidders can defer to let the last place team act first. This choice stands for every ability round from there on out. It's not a single-round decision! Choose wisely.

Teamwide abilities will affect one singular enemy team if appropriate. Leader chooses which.

Wartime Globals will affect every team as normal.

For further questions, please reach out to the admins.

On the matter of Show Matches: Boko has reached out to us to express a desire to arrange for some show matches for mercenaries in the unbought pool. As we do not have premake trial teams set up, we are instead allowing Boko to pay 3 GP to set up one mercenary per side each for a show match (so, for 3 GP, he could choose to pit Squall and Estinien against each other). Other players may contribute to the show match rosters if they so wish, for an identical fee, with permission from Boko or any other player who hosts a given show match. Show matches will last 24 hours instead of the usual 6, and will go up throughout the week, though the administration reserves the right for 6 hour show matches if we need to get things done quickly. Anyone who wishes to argue a team may do so, again with permission from the host and/or the admins. That is all! Happy Mercenaries!
