    As the title explains I want to have a weekly tournament that begins and ends the same night. I understand the time will not suit everyone but I must be stern on this. I will put up the $20 every week that doesn't have a sponsor.

    Tournament will be on Saturday 8th march at 8pm GMT.

    • If you have signed up and cannot make the tournament you need to contact a tournament organizer at least 30mins before.
    • Failure to do this will result in a 2 week ban.
    • If you win your first game but can't play further, your opponent in the next gamewill get a bye.
    • all maps will be a 700 radius planets without a moon.
    • Gentleman rules. (Commander must stay on your planet)
    • Working on google document but just leave your name in this thread so I can add you when I make the document.
    You can sign up to the latest tournament tournament here:

    Come to the IRC 20 minutes before start time please:

    - #planetaryannihilation on the server irc.esper.net
    - You can use this webchat, enter the channel name #planetaryannihilation
    - Webchat link: http://www.esper.net/publicirc.php

    It doesn't seem possible for aus players. In china for exemple, the tournament would be played from 3 am to 7 am.

    ... Hey wait! it feets perfectly with my end of saturday bar nights, i should sign in if there's no alcohol control before it starts!

    Oh this could be a geography fail. Can check it later. No problem on my end having it a few hours earlier. Probably could get other people opinions for the first one.

    Sounds like a nice idea.

    If you need commentators, lemme know.

    I'll probably participate in some as well.

    Jut one spot left. Happy to take a few subs when full too, or just hang around the Irc before the start time I case of no shows.

    @brianpurkiss yeah that would be great. Would like to have 4 casters/refs for the first round.

    Many thanks to cwarner aka thewrongcat who has generously volunteered to sponsor the first tournament.

    The start time on pa tournament is wrong. Will try fix it and pm players about the change.

    I did get a laugh when I read it should be ok for some Aus players. Unfortunatly having played a few other games competitively in the past I know the pain of playing in European comps. If you make it a few hours earlier that would make it a lot more viable for Aussies.

    Well I often play til 4 or 5 in the morning. :D. But you're right, unfortunately with the way the timezones are right now it's hard to please everyone. Hopefully this gets fixed soon. In the end I decided to please the masses and myself. :p.

    So I see more people than the 16 have been allowed register. At the minute these are subs, in joining order. But if we manage to get 32 I may be forced to extend it. Will take a head count at 17:55 and then make the draw. The draw will be done live on twitch just before the start. Please come to the IRC so we can organise this:

    - #planetaryannihilation on the server irc.esper.net
    - You can use this webchat, enter the channel name #planetaryannihilation
    - Webchat link: http://www.esper.net/publicirc.php
