As summarized by Ace:
Left side of the draw:
Jim_NC (CSA) - Liberty Bell (USA) (host FelixZ)
Seraphim (USA) (in place of Highlandcharge) - CitizenX (CSA) (host Lindi)
Right side of the draw:
Guru94 (CSA) - Havi (USA) (host Ace)
Moni Kerr (USA) - Pgr (CSA) (host Skibear)
The match for this round is the July 1861 campaign for a duration of 24 turns (1 year). Guru94, Jim-NC, Moni kerr, and Seraphim (lucky him) have the right to choose the side they want to play. The selection should be made carefully.
You will not be competing directly against the man you are playing, but rather against the man who choose your nation on your side of the bracket. The best USA and CSA player on each side of the bracket will advance to the next round.
VP will be the basis for advancement, with a NM victory giving a bonus. The NM bonus will be 2000+(100*number of turns remaining). This will prevent an early NM victory from being at an unfair disadvantage for VP against a game that went the full 24 turns.
The Quarter Final round will use the same general rules, with FelixZ, Ace, Lindi, and Skibear having the privilege of picking their side. The QF campaign is still being determined.
Finally, I'd like to thank the Ace for stepping in as deputy tournament director and keeping us all on track.
To repeat from before:
