Laningrad V: Great Success!!

Thanks to all of you who showed up, and special thanks to the guys that played in the tournament! Interesting games happenned all round, but Morningstar's bot rush remained undefeated.

However, there were definite signs of war weariness towards the end of the tournament, as people got sick of playing (and watching) round after round of SupCom.

So, I'm resisting an urge to take it as a sign of weakness on your part, and have decided to do the following (if you all like the idea).

Firstly, well all (bar one) have an internet, and have a hamachi, so getting a game of Supreme Commander during the interem is quite simple.

Secondly, the interem period between Laningrads is quite Larch.

Therefore, I believe, a better way to do it is to have a round robin during the interim. The length is long enough to facilitate such a competition without tireing out the participants.

The Top Eight players from the round robin (hopefully completed a week before laningrad is scheduled) get to enter a single elimination playoffs at Laningrad, and therefore get a guaranteed spot (and a chance at free pizza and drinks).

Supreme Commander round robin signups will happen over the next couple of weeks. Details will be distributed in email, if there is growing interest.
