The Kriegspiel Cup

I'm very excited to announce that this year, in 2012, wargame night will shift into high gear with a wargame tournament! The object of the tournament is to be the most consistent winner each month and at the end of the year the person with the lowest score will win the magnificent and highly sought after Kriegspiel Cup. The fortunate person will keep the prestigious Kriegspiel Cup in his domicile for an entire year and shall be known as the Kriegspiel Champion for 2012.

The tournament will begin anew in 2013 and at the end of that year the points will be tallied once more and the cup may or may not pass to another champion who will then take possession of it and keep it for one year in his home (hopefully on top of the fireplace mantel for all to see). It's quite possible but highly unlikely that a single person will be Kriegspiel Champion for more than one year in a row. But you never know.


Tournament points are awarded as follows in each game for each month:

First Place - 1 pt
Second Place - 2 pts
Third Place -  3 pts
Fourth Place - 4 pts
Fifth Place - 5 pts
Sixth Place - 6 pts
Seventh Place - 7pts
Eighth Place - 8pts

AWOK - 10 pts - "Absent With-Out Kriegspiel" - Best to show up and lose in an 8 player game than not show up at all and be "awarded" 10 points for being a no-show for wargame night.

So the perfect score is 12 points - First place each month for 12 months running. If at the end of the year there is a tie then a special wargame night will be held to determine who will be 2012's Kriegspiel Champion. There can only be one winner so time to put on your game face!

Let the tournament begin!
