Rubicon, Acheron, Surprise Attack, Chaturdrez.
I do like the design of Pit Racer, can you teach be the bare basics of it? I might make a tryouts in hopes of making obscure variants popular.

Sure
This tournament will be primarily made to shine the unpopular variants, thus it may not be variants in featured, common, most popular. Please leave a comment if you are interested, and what variants you would like to see in the tournament. This tournament will only be made if atleast 20 people are interested in it. Just leave a comment for suggestions, questions, etc.
You do not have to play everything in the tournament, only the ones you are competant at. If you only play 1 variant, your scores will be multiplied by 3 that you did play on. If you play 2, your scores will be multiplied by 1.5. Playing 3 or 4 variants will not have any amplifiers being applied.
There is planned be 4 variants that will be featured in this tournament, Acheron WILL be one of them, and there will be a really good chance Chaturdrez will be another. The others will solely be decided by voting. This tournament is meant to give shoutouts to unpopular variants, thus please be genuine about your voting. The variant you vote may not be your own variant, unless you thoroughly explain why your variant deserves better popularity than what it currently proclaims. I will confirm it using BN1208's spreadsheet.
The scoring will be as follows. In 2P Variants, Wins are 3 points, Draws are 1 point, and losses will be tallied as 0, and for 2P Variants only, matches will be played a in Best of 3 if the players decide to play in a Blitz time control, and a single game if players decide to play on a Rapid time control. This is fully up to the players to decide, but rapid may not be any slower than 10|0 and blitz, 4|3, and points will be subjected as such. In 4p variants if we do get them, 1st place will be 4 points, 2nd will be 1, 1 for 3rd, and none for 4th. If one decides to abort a game (less than 5 moves), the whole game will need to be replayed. Repeated abort offenses will lead to a ban in this tournament.
The players you will play against will be 7 random opponents in the timezone you select in the poll below. This will be subject to change depending on interest. Or 7 games you will play in 4p variants, selected using a random wheel. You may ask for a reroll, if at least 4 of your opponents have either 200 or higher composed or pure rating of that respective variant. Teams variants will be decided by vote to be played in Self-Partner or not.
There will be 4 timezones play will be available in. Please tell me the timezones via this poll: https://strawpoll.com/poy9kPWjQgJ
This forum will be posted on the Variants club, and Custom Variants.
So, now, what will be the prizes? This tournament is planned to have 1 month Diamond membership as 1st place, 1 month Platinum as 2nd, and 1 month gold as 3rd. The amount of Platinum and Gold could potentially increase, depending on interest. If the prizes are not paid, you may ban me from this club as punishment. I will guarantee the prizes will be paid within a week of the tournament's ending.
Accounts must be made before Dec 22nd, 2024 to be eligible for a prize for all participants.
This tournament is subjected to start at January 4th or 5th, Further polls will be made to confirm dates and timezones.
