Prize: more than 60€ have been donated so far. The tournament is free as all tournaments here and donation is totally voluntary so no worries if you don't want to involve money at all. If you want to donate to 1/ contribute to covering the costs of the BF website (which are low and mostly covered by LAN fees actually), 2/ help cover the costs of the Shadow Demon models for the Shadow Realm Community Expansion (see prize section for details), 3/ have a chance to win the "lucky prize" and/or win some small goodies for the winners, then you could do that when you registered if you are "team captain", and you received a private message (and email copy if activated) with a link to do it if you are not the "team captain". For the persons who did not register the team, please let me know if you haven't the link and would still like to donate. Donations will stop being accepted after the tournament starts (15 September). More in the prize section.
(BTW, @rrrrookie: sorry for the delay for your lucky prize in last tournament, quite busy but will be dealt with soon)
Rules: please make sure to read the rules of the tournament, including the settings.
In particular, please check rule 5 and start thinking about your combos!
"5. A player can never play a class or race that he/she played in all his/her previous matches (so you can play Goblin only once in the whole tournament, you can play Sorcerer only once, etc.). This rule applies to players individually, so the class/race choice of each player is totally independent from his team mate’s choices. As there are only 7 classes, after your 7th match, the “counter is resetâ€, i.e. you can play all the class/race again. However, in your 8th match, you cannot play the class or the race that you played in your 7th match.
BEFORE the match, you must let the Judges (but not your opponents) know what class and race you will play for your upcoming match by private message in the Battlefield website."

I started releasing videos of the semi-finale of the 2017 Duel Tournament, check out the playlist: AoW3 2017 PBEM Duel Tourney – Round 9 (SEMI FINAL!): Hiliadan (Draconian Sorcerer) vs gabthegab (Human Theocrat).

A proposal has been made to get some small, symbolic and nice prizes for the Tournaments: that would be the same system as for the 2017 PBEM Duel Tournament. Optional donations would be open and would serve both to collect money for the prizes, but also to fund the 3D models of the Shadow Demons for the community expansion (see details on the link).
Triumph might also contribute with some AoW: PF related prizes. We'll see later.
We now have 10 teams who expressed interest, the last two are:
- rockem4053 & Elio
- mahimka & Retromancer
Players without teams that I know of:
- Loki
- SleepingDog
- $eeR
- phirpo
- rrrrookie
- Longinus
- personian
- Melciar
Registrations should open next week but will remain open probably for 1.5 months.
== 2017 PBEM Duel Tournament ==
11 players donated some money for the prizes of this tournament. 98€ were collected and a proposal has been posted on the forum for the amount for each prize.
As we already know the first three players (gab, Jean, me), we can draw the lucky prize now and give it to a non-top 3 player. I plan to do that next week and I plan to use the website http://www.randomresult.com/t... to have an independent system to prove the person was selected randomly (please feel free to propose another one, the ones Skuns used for his tournament are in Russian so not easy and I'd prefer a non-Russian website
Thanks to IIaanor's efforts (with an independent artist), we have a nice, hand-drawn, picture to put on a t-shirt or a mug for the winner.

v1.25 is available on the beta branch and should be updated soon to include the Rapids' change that adds areas of normal rivers into rapids, to limit their length. A bug with Hide Out starting researched will also be corrected.
Reminder: opinions are required on:
- 4 options to boost Engineers
- find solutions to fix the "No city economy",
Two games are open if some want to train for the Tournament:
2vs2 practice (organised by phirpo)
2 vs 2 Out of Tourney (vs Skuns & Kruel, who apparently don't plan to join the Tournament)
The settings for the Tournament have been proposed here: http://aow.triumph.net/forums... Please check them and comment them now! It will be too late after the Tournament starts.
The proposed rules are also proposed in the same thread: http://aow.triumph.net/forums... />Please check the proposal for the class/race choice in particular.

Opinions are required on:

You can create new 2vs2 games through the menu Games / Create Game.

Reminder: the balance mod will be used together with the Strong Defender Normal Reward mod.
I'd also like to use the Shadow Realm Community Expansion in the tournament, probably with a map size adjustment (to take into account the +50% area due to the Shadow layer), whenever the expansion is ready and a balance patch is published in the balance mod (so probably not before round 5 or something).
We already have 7 teams interested, the last ones being (+ I heard of another probable team):
- Marcuspers & DreadReaper
- Jean de Metz & Hellbrick
Players without teams that I discussed with:
- Fluksen
- Loki
- Kruel
