I will likely join. Is the format posted somewhere? I want to make sure I’m able to meet the schedule before committing.

Thanks,

Jim

Format is here
www.commandsandcolors.net/napoleonics/ar...ournament-rules.html

but the brief version is The tournament will consist of 5 rounds played 1 per month in a Swiss draw format. Contestants have to play a scenario twice in a month.
The top 8 players will then move to an elimination tournament, again two games per month.

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.

Sounds very similar to the previous international tourneys. I guess the question I should have asked was how is the open tournament different from the international?

Short version.. it isn't different

Longer version.. the CCN Open was running from prior to 2016 when it emigrated to this site
www.commandsandcolors.net/napoleonics/ar...pen-tournaments.html

In 2021, the Intercontinent tournament was introduced by Ben, which split the players up into small sub-groups based on Timezone
www.commandsandcolors.net/napoleonics/ar...tournament-2021.html
The inevitable problem with subgroups is getting even numbers in each group, so over 2022 aand 2023 as that tournament grew it transitioned back to the well tested Open format, but still called the Intercontinental. For 2024 it has changed name back to  the Open,,  cause it is a lot shorter to type amongst other reasons.. It also operates in cycles with the C&C Ancients Open, so the Ancients Open runs March to July, and the Napoleonics Open from August to February (excluding finals which is just the top 8).

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.
