Rules
Signing Up
Before signing up for the Catan Tournament, group members must create a profile at the Play Catan website, and become familiar with creating a game. See this document for guidance in making a game on Play Catan, and the rules we will set for each game (Basic rules). After making your profile and learning how to make a game on Play Catan, then you can signup for the challenge. We will need to play games according to your Play Catan username, so your Catan username will be required to sign up for the challenge.
Submission
At the end of each game, members will send a screenshot of the game results to their group's Spirit Leader, who will then add the link to a Google spreadsheet they will make to keep track of the results from each game their members are a part of. These Google spreadsheets will be submitted by the end of the tournament (September 31).
Scoring
First, second, and third places will be awarded according to the guidelines listed in the CP Groups Special Challenge rules:

Bonus
Forum Mom and Dad will be playing in the tournament! This might not be able to happen for every game, so it will be important for everyone to know how to create a game. You will see us on the brackets when released so we can begin scheduling (I will at least try to have us on the first set of the brackets). Anyone who wins against Forum Mom or Forum Dad will get a bonus 20 points for their team (For example: If Forum Mom get's 3rd, then 1st and 2nd place in that game will when a bonus 20 points for their team). However, Forum Mom and Forum Dad do not advance like other players, even if they overwhelm, outmaneuver and/or crush the other players in their games.
