Just as well roturn beat me, as I'm only just online now for the first time since submitting my QF picks
Nice, quick and simple format. It's worked well Ian, so well done for that, and will be good to go again for a 2nd season.

High Risk - Level Extreme
Welcome to High Risk - Level Extreme or rather just High Risk Season 2
Some information who missed the first season can be found below!
High Risk is a mini-game which is not time-consuming at all. The game is a combination of tactics and knowing your enemy. Luck could also come into play, but you could argue what is luck and what are tactics.
So it's mostly about luck
Game Rules
High Risk is a tournament game. The players will be divided into groups. Each player plays his matches in his group, one against each adversary. You gain points from these matches. Every match runs over three sets (unless the victor claims the two first sets, then the third does not count).
You could also draw a set. If this happens, the other sets will be won cross over. Drawing one set means a 1-1 result. This results in a draw and each player gets 1 point.
Win in two sets (a 2-0 victory) : 3 points.
Win in three sets (a 2-1 victory) : 2 points.
Draw a game (1-1) : 1 point each.
If your opponent forfeits or does not send in his tactics before the deadline, this counts as a 2-0 victory.
The best players of each group advance to the next round, another group stage. After this group stage, the tournament turns into a knock-out league. The winner of group A then faces the runner-up of group B and so on.
Match Rules
A match is quite simple. Every player gets 20 points. He has to distribute those points over three sets. An example can be:
Set 1: 8 points
Set 2: 2 points.
Set 3: 10 points.
His opponent might have picked this:
Set 1: 14 points.
Set 2: 6 points.
Set 3: 0 points.
This match would result in the following match:
Player 2 wins the first set with 14 over 8.
Player 2 wins the second set with 6 over 2.
Player 2 wins the match with 2-0.
Player 1 played out his points quite evenly, with a great emphasis on the last set, which could be decisive.
Player 2 took a high risk and put most of his points on set 1, which he practically had. Set 2 was more of a risk, but player 1 was aiming to take set 3 for sure. Player 1 was right that he would take set 3, but he set too few points in the second set so he never got around to set 3. He lost the game by playing it carefully.
There are many different variations and putting all your points on set 1 does not automatically make you a winner. Example of another match:
Set 1: 5 points.
Set 2: 10 points.
Set 3: 5 points.
Player 2 goes aggressive again:
Set 1: 15 points.
Set 2: 4 points.
Set 3: 1 point.
Player 2 obviously wins the first set.
Player 1 wins set 2.
Player 1 wins set 3 and wins the game with 2-1.
Pre-Match Tactics
You send in your tactics using a format like this:
Match 1:
Set 1: x points.
Set 2: x points.
Set 3: x points.
You are free to send in tactics match by match or send in your tactics for all your group matches in advance together. Your most recent tactics are those that will count. But sent in tactics after the deadline do not count.
Do note that if you send out tactics for future matches, they will count as being sent-in. So if all others have sent in theirs, the match day will begin.
Sign-Up
As you can see, this game requires little effort. All you need to do is send in three numbers for each match.
Of course, following the other results (sets are made public every match) can give you insights in the other players' tactics.
Sign up below, simply stating you are in or you want to play. A pm is also allowed.
Any questions, ask below or send a personal message. I'm aiming for 24 players this time around, so I hope we can get that number without too much trouble. If the interest is very high, 32 could also work.
Members who already pre-ordered a spot for this season:
AbhishekLFC
weirdskyfan64
jaxika
trekbmc
selwink
lakebeach
Vali
marcovdw
jseadog1
However, you are required to confirm your interest. You have until Friday 08/01/2016 20:00 GMT +1 time for that. If you haven't confirmed by then, your spot will be open for other players.
With some luck/speed/interest we kick season 2 off one week from now.
Thanks for playing, see you in the ring
PS Yes I picked 'High Risk - Level Extreme' because it sounds awesome, first time I can ever use such an awesome title and it's totally not awesomely ironic for a simple game of... chance, mostly!
