LF Help holding a small Civ 5 tournament

[cruzin]

Disclaimer:I tried searching for a similar subject, but didn't find anything. It might just be me being bad at searching tho. So if it's already there i apologize.

Hey
Im hoping to hold a small Civ 5 tournament at my university soon, with a dazzeling prize of... a DLC

But, i've not had the time to play much of late, and definitly not MP.

BUt there might be alot of easily made mistakes i guess, so what are good rules etc?
The only thing i've found is from
http://www.civplayers.com/index.php?section=smf&topic=9822.0

Spoiler :

*No exploiting lags for scientist in any way!
*Players will have 15minutes if they drop from a game to reestablish contact with other player.
*Screenshots must be taken of any agreements, drops, or other outstanding reasons.
*All players must act in a mature way. Sportsmanship should be your goal. Any player acting out in a abusive disorderly manner may be disqualified.
*Random Generated Brackets.

*Great Wall BUG---Players will stop game, player with bug can run ad aware or similiar quick scan anti virus and reload steam, if this is not fixed you either play with the bug or forfiet. Apologies to those that run into this problem. 3 or 4 reload attempts is fair in this situation.

And there i'm even confused on the "lags for scientists", and greatwall bug.

Im assuming a good setup would be like.

• 6 Players pr game?
• All must join a steam group (for rejoins?)
• X max turn duration?
• Max turns=x ? (So it doesnt take more than 8-10 hours^^)
• A mumble server for talking diplomacy(needed?)
• What else?
  
  
  
  
  
  

Basically im asking for any inout/help, or ideally a link to that well hideen "Hosting a civ 5 Tournament guide"

(Oh and this is in norway, so if you're norwegian and wanna join, reply here

CFC doesn't specialize in MP, you would be better to look at the CivPlayers Civ5 tournament section as we have run a couple tournaments last fall.

Our settings might be a bit more competitive than what you are looking for, but it will give you some ideas.

The only problem I have with ffa games is that often times the leader in the game can essentially choose the finishing order after him(by choosing who to invade first). How would you handle this problem?

I wish I could enter the tourney but my internet connection has trouble handling 6 player games (I am always "that one guy" who ruins the other ppl's game) I can do 5 player but it is unstable.
