Recruiting time

Alright I have come up with something that i think the local group will enjoy

I'm going to start a pyramid league.

Whats a pyramid league you say?
Its a king of the hill style league that is shaped like well... a pyramid

Everyone will start on the bottom tier to advance through to the next tier you must win your first game in the league until the next tier up is filled.

The number of tiers to the pyramid will depend on how many people we have participate

6 people will be a 3 tiered league 10 will be 4 and 15 will be 5 tiers to the pyramid.

There will be a $5 buy in for the league and the prize support will again depend on how many people we have playing. The prizes will be split 50% for first and 2 25% prizes for the players on the second tier.

Ok onto how this thing works.

At the beginning of the league everyone will get Challenge tokens. A challenge token will be used to challenge anyone higher on the pyramid than you are. So if you are on the 3rd lvl you wager a challenge token to try and knock someone off tier 2.

If you win your challenge you and the player you challenged swap places in the pyramid you also get the challenge token wagered. The victor takes his opponents spot and the loser moves down. Unless the player who won was already higher. If there is no player in the tier above you, you may challenge another player on your tier to advance up the pyramid.

These tokens will be given on the start of the league and will also be given out for participation of other events at the store. Like a tourney or mega game etc. usually held once per month

Their can be multiple challenges for the same slot and either there will be consecutive games played or you can elect to play a multi player game and the victor gets all the challenge tokens.

The game sizes will be dependent on what tier they are being fought over. These are adjustable if one of the players doesn't own an army of the right size.

Challenge at the top. The current top player chooses the point value
2nd tier 1500pts
3rd tier 1000pts
4th tier 750pts
5th tier 500pts

Now onto the important part.

Winning the league
To win the league a player must be at the top of the pyramid and have at least 3 challenge tokens.

This league is meant first and foremost to be a fun event for the store, get the local crowd back to the tables again and reinforce the love of pushing plastic army dudes across the tables at one another.

This all starts tomorrow so lets see if I can get the locals out and throwing dice around again.
