With the blessing of Generals Mallory and Laub, I'm opening up a new Club wide tournament starting right now. It is called the Braggin' Rights tourney as the winning side will have bragging rights over the other side for the entire year. I don't think anything like this has been tried before so I'm hoping ya'll will take hold of it and make it work. Here is the link to the tourney web site:

Basically you can play any scenario you like as you will be handicapping the battle yourselves. For example, scenarios that are fairly balanced you might offer 1 point to an opponent for a major victory versus 1 point for yourself for a major victory for yourself. However, say you want to play the Union side at Antietam, you might have to offer a Reb 6 or more points for a major victory to your 1 point to get it in as a tourney game. What points you offer and what points you accept are totally up to you. I'm sure that if some officer takes a high risk game that offers him a lot of points for a bleak chance at winning and pulls off that win that medals of valor could be awarded. I've included examples of other offers on the web page so you can get the idea. I'll track everything in a spreadsheet and post updates as the year goes along so you can see which side is winning the campaigning for the year. You can offer points for all your games or only one depending on the level you want to participate. This will be a chance to sharpen your negotiating skills or suckering someone into offering a bunch of points for that daring strategy you have for some scenario that one side thinks is hopeless for you. I'll also occassionally post what some of the offers are here in the Mason-Dixon so that you have an idea of what the "going rate" is for some scenarios. Just send me an email with your accepted offer and I'll track it and then send me the results when you are done and the point total will go into the pot for the winning side. If you would please make the subject line of your email "Braggin' Rights". Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
