      Auction in every game, but always with zero.
      Each game each player has no negative points (bid 0). But the 'auction' must remain in order for each of the 4 games to copy the order of the factions selected in the first game.

      Additionally:

      • you can be inactive in the game, for example all day. The game will not be lost (the above timer allows it). But just 2 days of total inactivity will eliminate player from the game.
        If timer is too short:
        We can set: a timer of 3 days per player, which will allow for longer pauses, but also can slow down the tournament.

      • if someone will resign, drop out one game (because of legendary misclick or anything) he abandons the whole tournament, it will be a great pity! And disrespect for the other players.
        In this case, he will be included in the 'game tabel' as the one who quit the game. The other 3 players will have to finish their matches without him or find someone to replace.

        @ariallito For example. I'm second player (look your example), i played by firaks on 1st game. Can I choose firaks for decline his points on 2nd game? But I want! And what will happen on 4th game? Nobody can use auction?

          In the example above, if you were to be again as second player: you would have to select Firaks (because: Player 2 - Firaks). But you wouldn't be able to play this faction (because you've already played Firaks), you would have to bid (only for zero) to choose another faction that you haven't played yet.

          'Can I choose firaks for decline his points on 2nd game?'
          No. We play without losing points.

          'what will happen on 4th game? Nobody can use auction?'
          Everyone must use auction (bidding for 0), only for copy the correct factions order.

              As you want.
              We need just a 8 players to start (as two groups).
              At this moment we have (probably) four or six players.

              Game names, for example:
              Euro-Asia-Cup-Group-A
              (...) Group-B

              And next:

              • Unlucky scenario:
                Assuming that one game will last 2 weeks max:
                4 group matches will last a maximum of 2 months
                the whole tournament max 4 months! (I hope not, but it's possible)

              • Good scenario:
                If each game lasts 1 week or less,
                the whole tournament will last 1 or max 2 months.

              That's why we need players who make a minimum of 5-10 moves per day (or more!)

                                Dear Gentlemen!

                                Thanks for joining! Good choice!
                                The rules are clear? If not - just ask.

                                Probably everyone lives in Europe, so the games will be named: Euro-CUP-group-A (...and group B).

                                After start - zero pressure - please do your move when you want. I hope minimum 4-10 moves per day,
                                But we have a timer: 3 days per player + 1 hr (because sometimes someone needs a day of break).
                                Each game for a maximum two weeks , I hope.

                                Remember - it's just fun! On the other hand - I Tournament will be difficult, because 5 of 8 players have 'elo' around 300 or over 400 ! Damn! :)

                                Lucasrrr was the last to join, I don't know him well (we played 2 or 3 times 2 months ago) so I am asking him to complete the line-up of both groups. So lucasrrr, below is the result of my lottery, I am asking you to complete the composition to the groups (if you do not do it - tomorrow I will ask the next person about it). Please put four of players (with the highest elo) in groups (please post below) :

                                PodonokMax
                                Babbuc49
                                Wy
                                lucasrrr
                                (these four players have the highest elo)

                                Two to group A and two to B:

                                1. Euro-CUP-group-A

                                • ?
                                • ?
                                • Mecenas
                                • bardopondo

                                2. Euro-CUP-group-B

                                • ?
                                • ?
                                • Pyton
                                • ariallito

                                What next?

                                I will send a link to the games here (using private messages). After the first game - one of the player in group will put new link to the second game there (using chat window)

                                Pyton will create and share on-line table (eng.) - thanks!

                                Please notice - mistakes happen! If someone (starting from the second game) mistakes the order, chooses the factions incorrectly, bids for more than 0 - don't worry! but in this case the group has to create a game-table again.

                                Ok, we wait for the list of both groups. After that I will create game-tables and send to all.

                                          Congratulations & big thanks to all players of the Group A for 4 difficult games!

                                          89 points between Bardopondo (the winner!) and Mecenas is not an enormous distance after four games, which shows how hard the fight was! There is only a 4 vp difference between PodonokMax (who won the most times in the group!) and Wy. This shows that our Tournament system is not ideal, but rules are rules.

                                          Bardopondo and Wy are going to the final four games. Congratulations! Start in March.

                                          I hope everyone will want to continue participating, but it's not mandatory. It's just a game! :)

                                            Thanks and congratulations to all players in group B. Me and Pyton fought, but the team definitely had two leaders. Applause for Babbuc49 (718 VP!) and for the winner - Lucasrrr (759 VP!).
