Larry is going to release a new copy of the rules to fix some of the minor issues left after releasing Alpha +2. Unfortunately, it may take another two or three months to be released or it could be released tomorrow. Then, after it is released, players will have to become familiar with the new rules and how it effects their favorite strategies. On the plus side, it proves to be more balanced (or it should if he goes where I think he is going based on the discussion on his page.)
That said, I’ve already talked to some of the other mods/admins/peeps in charge about running a Global 1940 tournament.
I have a limited ability to keep track of hundreds of people, so we’ll have to limit the number of games (which has been done in the past) to the following:
16 Players if the games are one on one
32 Players if the games are two on two
I’d like to know which ruleset people would prefer and if they want to play teams or individuals. (Of course, if we don’t get even 16 players to sign up (or 16 teams) this might not happen, I’d have to look at setting up the brackets, etc.)
In my mind this kicks off in Late August, Early September.
