The goal is to create a wider community of members playing and enjoying PzB game series.  PzB will be around for a while with many titles if its big brother PzC is an example.

Roll Call.
The following people are in the first PzB Normandy tournament!  We have 11 members ready to go.

The following seven members expressing interest need to sign up for the blitz ladder to be considered to be in the tournament.  Post in this thread if you need help doing this in your profile.  As soon as you are signed up for the Panzer Battles ladder you are considered in the tournament.

Rules
No biting, hitting below the belt, or whining.  

1. Actually try to keep up a good turn rate.  You want to make each round's deadline.
2. Don't get crazy over analyzing.  Just play your best.  Everyone is here to learn.  this is not for fame or glory.  Just for fun!  There will be badges for your profiles if you complete the tournament.
3. Post after the round here if you have questions or want to know what the heck happened.  Ask your opponent.  I hope everyone will be having fun and learning from each other.  That is how we can all improve our game.  Better players means more fun for everyone.
4. You can post in a different thread for help if you get stuck or just cannot figure something out.  Plenty of veteran PzB members here at the blitz and the design & play test teams are here too to help you get the most out the tournament experience.
5. Life happens. If for some reason you have to drop out, contact me by email.  I will get a replacement for you.  If you go AWOL you will not be eligible for future tournaments.
6.  All games played in the tournament must be posted in the blitz DB under the "Report a Game" section.  Only one player in each game needs to post the result.  Both players will be notified, along with the moderators here when your game is posted.  I will update the tournament page when I have the results of your games.
7. Last but not least, do not resign any games.  If you are getting clobbered, just try out those tactics you thought might work, but also thought they might not.  Nothing to lose if the game has already gone south.  Everything to learn from the experience.

Scoring
Major Win   five points
Minor Win   four points
Draw          three points
Minor Loss  two points
Major loss   one point

I will post later the scenarios and match ups for the first round.  Check out the PzB Kursk tournament in the tournament section of the blitz.  That tournament is almost done.  Just be sure you can find the tournament section as I will be posting information there too once the tournament is created.

Ask on this thread if you have any questions about the tournament.
