MNM VI

MNM VI, otherwise known as "Monday Night Monster VI", is the sixth tournament in the Monsterpocalypse_Events series of tournaments. The tournament began on November 28th, 2011 and ended on February 22nd, 2012 and was the first division styled tournament in MNM history. Additionally, with 32 participants, it is also the largest division-styled Monsterpocalypse event in Monsterpocalypse history. Each round was be comprised of no more than 25 standard turns, followed by any number of "sudden death" rounds to determine the ultimate winner.

The Rules:

 * Players are split into groups of 4 players, called divisions.
 * Divisions are going to be based on location. Physical, in-person games are completely allowed and encouraged. If you have less than 4 players in your area (including zero), we will attempt to fill in the gaps with people close to your time zone. You can then play these people online at reasonable times.
 * There are going to be 8 regular rounds of the tournament
 * Each player is going to play the other 3 members in his division twice over an eight week period (making up 6 of his 8 games).
 * Each player is going to play 2 games against players not in their division.
 * The player with the top record in each division is going to advance to the next phase.
 * Wild card players will be selected based on the number of divisions, so players without the top record in their division could advance.
 * The second phase of the tournament will be a single elimination event, similar to a standard Top 8.
 * Players will get to choose week to week the monster and force that they use.
 * You can bring a different list each game if you desire.
 * Rules will conform to the standard single monster format.

Sudden Death:

 * On the 25th turn, the active player begins his or her turn by rolling 4 boost dice. Each turn after, one boost die is added to the roll. So, on the 26th turn, the active player begins his or her turn by rolling 5 boost dice, on the 27th, 6 boost dice, etc.
 * If 5+ strikes are rolled during this roll, the game is over. If less than 5 strikes are rolled, the active player takes his or her turn as usual.

The Divisional Tournament
Each of the 32 participants was placed within an aptly named The Big Lebowski character division. By the method of the pairings, each player played against all the members of their division twice and against a random opponent outside their division on two separate occasions.
