3:50 for pro kami rofl. Shortest elite ever?

In 2006 I hosted an elite cup with a $5 entry.  It was a great success as 8 people entered, there were no complaints and it was completed swiftly. Mablak emerged the winner, taking home a huuuuuge $40 paycheck!

Considering the current popularity of elite and the high standard of competition, I think it would be great to host another one. This time however, I am hoping for 16 entrants with an increased cup fee of $10.

The cup will be invite only. This is to prevent people entering who I deem not to have enough sportsmanship and maturity to play both courteously and fairly! It is also to ensure people are not put off entering due to the possibility of being drawn against some of WormNet’s shadier characters!

The games are to be best of 5 unless otherwise agreed upon. If you and your opponent wish to play the best of 9 (or 3 or X), state so immediately in the first game. If this is not clarified in the first game and a complaint arises regarding the number of games, bad luck :x

The scheme to be used will be the default TUS scheme. If anyone hosts with a non-standard scheme and an argument arises because of it, they will forfeit the game. Don’t f@#! around!

In the event of a crash, both players should discuss what they feel is the best course of action. If nothing can be agreed upon, you may make a complaint.


If you are interested, please post in this thread stating:
-What you think is an appropriate entrance fee. Is $10 too much/little?
-Assuming 16 entrants, how the money should be split. 50/30/20? 65/35?
-Whether or not you are capable of hosting (without WormNat!) on a solid connection. No dodgy dial-up Neanderthals like LordHound please
-Any other questions/queries/problems with rules.


If at least 8 people show a genuine interest, I will provide a paypal address and we can get this thing started!

You will be missed!
