Description:

Armchair Admirals unite! A tournament to find the best player to enact Thrawn's Revenge on the New Republic begins!

Players will fight a round-robin style tournament with every player playing every other player once; rounds to be played weekly to allow for easier matchmaking. Byes will be awarded in the event there is an uneven number, or one player is unable to make their scheduled game. Upon registration, players will be assigned a faction for the entire tournament to minimise mirror-matches.

The factions are as follows. Though 5 of the 8 are similar in that they are Imperial factions, they all have different units available and different tactics and strategies required for victory.
New Republic, Galactic Empire, Empire of the Hand, Hapes Consortium, Greater Maldrood, Pentastar Alliance, Corporate Sector Authority, Eriadu Authority, Zsinj's Empire.

Map choice will be randomly decided per round; all players must use that map for that round to ensure fairness.

In the case of a tie for first place, the tied players will be assigned random factions and play a tiebreaker game.

Players will need Empire at War: Forces of Corruption, the Thrawn's Revenge mod, and the Shield Penetration Submod to participate. These can be found on the Steam Workshop, or contact AD Stryker for further details.
